And DER earth's troubled, angry

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
A SAD JOLT.

Dad doesn't grudge a single dime
That goes for toys.
He saws that Christmas is the time
For girls and boys.
II is a pleasure, he asserts,
To buy mas furs;
But there is one expense that hurts,
So dad AYERS.
Dad hands the servants goodly tips
And extra pay;
Into his pOcketbOok he dips
In kindly way.
But in the lutte appears a rift.
II jars dad so
To have TO buy a Christmas gift
For sisters beau.

Hungarians are great readers, according
TO Herman Ferenz Tancos. Of Budapest.
Hungary, who is at the Riggs.
There is scarcely a village in Hungary
without a library Of az least a few vol
umes. and those towns which have no
library are supplied by means of travelling
libraries: and what is more, there Is
scarcely a town of any pretension IN
Hungary that has not weli-arranged
local museum
in this respect Hungary probably IS
not surpassed by any country in the
world except Germany. This condition
may. in large part, be aScribed 10 the
fact that all museums and Libraries IN
Hungary are under the direct control or
a department of public instruction. at the
head OF which is cabinet officer equal
in rank and dignity 10 any other member
of the cabinet The people of Hungary
are eager for information and the latest
news in every field of scientific and prae-
teal research.
..Hungarians are great admirers or
America" concluded Mr. Tancos, and
there are many families in Hungary who
when Young. emigrated 10 the United
states where they worked and saved
their earnings. and after they had ac-
cltnulated a nice competency returned 10
their native land. where they are now
most active missionaries for American
ideas and ideals"

Anti=Injuncti0n
Bill Abandoned.

Washington. June 2.-There Will be
no anti injunction legislation in the
House at the present session. Presl-
dent Taft himself has consented TO the
abandonment of this feature OF his
legislative program and no further eff
fort at urging it will be made by mem
bers of the House. The administration
bill introduced by Rep. Moon. Pa.
chairman of the committee on revision
of laws, has been reposing for severa
months in the judiciary committee
without any attempt at action on it
and it finally has been decided to al
low it to remain there.
Numerous reasons for the failure or
this legislation at the present session
are given. The press of important bills
towards the close of the session and
particularly the time required by the
postal savings bank bill are the prin-
cipal causes, it is stated. for the
abandonment of the anti-injunctlon
bill. 1t is hoped to bring it un early
during the next session. 1t is said tha'
many members of Congress lately
called upon President Taft and urged
upon him that anti injunction leglsla-
ton be not pressed at the present SEES
sion Prominent labor leaders have
protested vigorously against the ad-
ministration bill and the attitude oil
la hor generally has been hostile. Fol
that reason it has been deemed not ex-
pedient to urge it in the face of a con-
gressional campaign.

Prosecution Gets Set-B Back in Trial of
Golden Rule" kohler.

Cleveland Ohio, June 1.-The third
day of the trial OF Golden Rule" Chief
of Police Kohler on charges of i'm
morality and drunkenness, produced a
sensation today when one of the prose
cutions most important witnesses
practically contradicted the evidence
which it had been claimed he would
give.
The witness was a detective, who it
had been contended by the prosecuting
attorneys would testify that he had
been sent out by Chief Kohler to beat
up a newspaper reporter. But today
the detective swore that Kohler never
instructed him or even intimated that
such a thing should be done. He ad-
mltted that the chief remarked that
the boy needs a good licking" but
that he did not pay any attention to
the remark.
The prosecution also received a set
back in respect to another important
charge of immortality. They had con-
tended that the chief instructed his
men to disregard a certain class of Of
fences but on cross examination of all
the witnesses, called it was shown that
the chiefs words were part of a lecture
on the Golden Rule" The chiefs in
structions were in line with his policy
of admonishing minor offenders rath-
er than disgracing them by arrest.
