hand early today to remove the rub

draperies and desks and to otherwise
make ready for the regular session
beginning next December
General satisfaction was expressed
among the senators and members still
remaining in the city that the tariff
discussion was thing of the past
They were thoroughly tagged out, and
had only the one thought of getting

INTELLIGENCE OF THE FOX
Animal Apparently Is Able to Dis
tingulsh Between Real and
False Dangers.

The intelligence of the fox is often
shown by the way he refuses to be
headed when he has made up his mind
as to the safe course to take, says the
London Globe. The West Somerset
have an excellent fixture at Kilve, but
1T has one drawback-tte sea is not
far off, and foxes naturally often
make for the cliffs, secure refuge. A
fox can be easily headed at times but
that is nearly always when to be seen
would betray him to his enemies the
hounds and give them an advantage;
but when, If he makes his point, the
advantage is on his side, then nothing
will turn him.
To return to the West Somerset at
Kilve: they found fox, and the whip
perrin, seeing that the fox meant to
go to the cliffs if possible, started to
head him off. The ground was open,
and for half mile the whipper-in and
fox We're taking parallel lines, the fox
clearly meaning to slip by and find
refuge in the cliffs. The man turned
the fox away at last, but in a short
time the hounds lost him, and ] be-
lieve he got back after ALL

quiet. There seems to be waiting
game, and the democrats are prepar-
Ing for the struggle to beat Senator
Warner, the republican senator from
this state
Ex-Governor David r. Francis and
Ex-Governor Joseph Folk are the lead
ing candidates in which it seems that
Francis has the ascendency.
The democrats of the state are bent
On turning the mysterious Stranger"
back into the der~cratic fold, but the
republicans are doing everything they
can to still control the state. Gov
ernor Hadley is quite popular through
out the state, and since the circuit
federal court has decided that the
Standard Oil Co., was a trust, he is
more so.
1t is a we'll known fact that Govern
or Hadley when he was attorney gem
eral of the state gathered and prepar-
ed the evidence upon which the Stand
ard Oil company was convicted.
Uncle Joe Cannon, the speaker of
the house of representatives, a few
weeks ago came to Kansas City and
made speech before the Knife and
Fork club.
Uncle Joe more than pounded,
what are called the progressives or
insurgents in the republican party, in
that speech.
Whatever the differences in the
two factions Of the republican party
MAY be, Speaker Cannon has the logic
and common sense on his side.
He also showed UP the fact that
the democrats, when Crisp was speak
er, controlled the house under the
same rules, that it is now governed
by and that when the Wilson-G German
bill! was before congress, even Bryan
did not hesitate to support the same
rules in order to make sure that that
bill would pass the house.
Anyway the majority Of the repub-
litan party are ready and willing to
fellow under the leadership Of Presi-
dent Taft, and whatever he says and
thinks is best for the party the ma
jcrity will follow him.
The season Of good will and cheer
IS at hand, and soon there will be a
scurrying to and fro, home to see rel
atives and friends. Santa Claus will
soon make his annual rounds, the
stockings will be hung up and the
Yule Log will soon be blazing in the
great fireplace.
The time of merry making is here
and the year 1909 will go out as one
OF the years of bountiful blessings, in
spite of the weeping, wailing and
crashing of teeth of the chronic
pessimist.
The writer in his travels over this
country, in whatever direction, can
not help but notice what a homogene.
QUIZ people we are getting to be.
A great American race is springing
uD all over this land, and in course of
time we will be one great race of
people, in thought, feeling and action.
