Jimmy had always lamented the fact
that he had 10 grandmother. He was
quite satisfied with the quality of his
parents, and he was not especially
anxious. on the whole, to have any
more people about the house than al
ready lived there, but somehow or
other it irked him very much to think
that other boys had something that
he had not. There were Billie Robin
son and Sidney Grant, both chums Of
his-they both had grandmothers, and
it didn't seem exactly fair that he was
deprived of one.
One day, however. he had happy
thought.

grand mean, anyhow"

 INSURANCE MERGER

Chicago. Nov. 22.-The dominance of Eastern and Foreign insurance companies in Western and Southern fields is waning, as is shown by ies which have set out to retain in the heart of the America more of the insurance revenues which total some half billion dollars a year, tributes paid chiefly to the East and Europe. The announced merger of two West ern companies, the Consolidated Cas- ualty Company having swallowed the National Casualty Insurance Company Of Louisville is case in point, the first named having directorate which represents in personal wealth, it is said, $50,000,000, fact which presases other mergers.
 The Consolidated company was or ganized as a protest against the in- surance power of the East and al ready has over $2,000,000 of insur- ance in force. fact partially account ed for by the scattered holdings of the companys stock in 26 states. Re- gently the Kansas State Bankers As sociation gave the company prefer ence ever others, making it officially the choice of the association in the insuring of State funds.-Arkansas Democrat, Nov. 23.

 CASE CONTINUED
Absence of Material Witness Causes
 Fourth PostpOnemcnt of Trial.

St. Louis, Nov. 24.-After the trial of NJ. Dwight Fortner for forgery had beeu delayed for three hours today to enable the defense to find Fl. R. Bum pass. a printer, said to be material witness. Thomas D. LaWler, attorney for Former, moved and obtained a fourth continuance of the case until December 20. In support of the re- onest Lawler admitted two affidavlts of almost the same tenor, one exc cuted by himself and the other by Fortner. It is asserted in both that Bumpass is in Hot Springs and cannot return before January 10, be- cause of the illness of his wife and that the case could not properly be tried without his testimony. A letter from Bumpass dated November l6 Ill Hot Springs, was attached to Law ler's affidavit.
 The defense expects to prove by Rumpass. that both deponents swear that he accompanied Fortner on FeD- ruary 10 to the office of Henry c. Tul- lev. whose indorsement Fortner is ac- cused of forging, that the $12'OoO check of F. A. Steer bore no indorse- ment when Fortner entered Pulley office and that when he came out lo minutes later the name of Pulley was signed on it's back.
 Judge Shields stated when granting the third continuance that he would refuse to delay the case again save fol an imperative cause. The only wo- man in court when the case was call ed was Miss Hildegard Hallen, who was Fortner's stenographer and who is one of the important witnesses fol the stateA. She sat in the rear Of the court irt k, ely conversation with hu' Z 'geHe IT. ndlan, brother-in-law of tOrt ner. $. Kathryne Handlan was no present.

FINAL WORK FOR CAME
PENNsY AND MICHIGAN HAVE Fr-
 NAL PRACTICE.
YOst Wont Make any Predictions, Hut the Wolverine Eleven Will Uut Up q Good
 Fight.

Philadelphia, Nov. IF 12.--Pennsylvania and Michigan will meet in their fourth annual game on Franklin Field tomor- row. Both elevens took their final work in the suburbs tonight.
 There is unusual confidence in both camps. The Pennsyivanians feel that they have improved since the Lafayette game and are confident that with the aid of their home field they will win their fourth straight victory.
 Coach Yost of the Michigan eleven refused to make any predictions about the game. but stated that he had con- fidence in his team to give Pennsylva- mia the hardest fight since the series started.
 The Michigan followers are relying considerably on the injuries to the Pennsylvania team. It was announced tonight that Marks, the Pennsylvania right-end. probably would be out of the game on account of an injury to his hip. If he does not play his place will be taken by Large.
 Of the other men, Larnberton is in poor condition, while 1t is doubtful if Hutchinson will be able to play the entire contest.
 There are more Michigan men on hand for this game than there were at the previous game played here. The entire crew of the battleship Michi- gan. now at League Island, will at. tend the game in body and cheer for the Westerners.

BATTLES ROYAL ARE SCHED
 ULED VARIOUS GRIDIvoNS

Real comparisons of football teams, North, South and East will be possb- ble following the games to be played Saturday. That day will furnish the first real excitement of the present season. and gridirons, wherever they are, will bristle with entertainment and resound to the clash of moleskin- clad warriors.
 The major interest. so far as South ern colleges are concerned, will center about the games at Birmingham and Columbus. O. At the former city Au- burn, last years Southern champion team meets the strong Sewanee eleven. and a battle worth going miles to see is probable. The teams on past per- formances are about even as to speed and weight and the game probably will be in the balance until the referees whistle blows for the close of the last half
 Vanderbilt, with the Southern cham pionship cinched. meets the Ohio state University team on Ohio Field. The Tennessee bunch is fast and strong. and will give the Buckeyes all they can do. From this distance 1t looks as lf Vandy will come home with the bacon.
 In tho East there promises to be plenty of hard work for the teams. Pennsylvania has big contract on her hands to defeat the strong Michigan eleven on Franklin Field. Yost's boys were drubbed to fare-you-well by Notre Dame last Saturday. but some say that Foxy Yost played his team to a losing game In order not to uncover
