They preferred to take appeals direct from

recommendations for a court VIII remain in

The railroad presidents objected most
seriously to the proposed restrictions upon
the Issuance of stocks. bonds and short
term notes. President Taft will recon-
mend that no such securities shall be issued
in the future without the approval OF the
Interstate Commerce commission. based
upon a finding that the issues are for pur-
poses authorized by law and for a price
not less than par for stock and not less
than the reasonable market value for
bonds. 4r.r

The railroads claim this restriction will
seriously interfere with their borrowing

Commerce commission the right to initiate

the murder of Jacob Davis, a prominent

The abandonment by the Woodmen Of

IN amended answer in district court to the

deny that any such right exists, and deny
that plaintiffs have ever availed them
selves Of the option agreement or rendered
a performance thereof, within the time OF
in the manner provided in said agree

The dispute in the matter hinges on the
rendering by ]. r. Baum to J. A. c. Ken.

December Makes
Two New Records
Coolest and Wettest Ever Recorded
by the Local Weather
Bureau.

December, 1909, fixed up two new records
for the local weather bureau. The month
was the coolest ever experienced here, with
a mean temperature of 16, which is eleven
and one-tenth degrees lower than the mean
for thirty-nine years. The precipitation
recorded for the month was two and
thirty-three hundredths inches, as against
All average of less than an inch for the
month for thiTty-nine years. Nh nearest
the temperature record was approached
in 1879, when the mean was II, and the
heaviest previous precipitation was in 1877,
when two and fourteenth hundredths
inches fell. Aside from the fact that the
month was dark and cold and stormy, the
weather man sees nothing to report.

Governor Harmon recommended the ratifi-

while incomes are a subject of taxa
ton which should ordinarily be left to the

Luck

CAME across this sentence the other
day: "A day dawns quite like other
days; in it a single hour comes quite
like other hours; but in tina day and
in hat hour the chance of a lifetime
faces U.S."
/ wonder how many Of US know when
the supreme moment has arrived in
u lives? How many of US have met
opportunity and have passed it blindly?
How many of us have looked e~nviously
on some other woman and have said
How lucky she Isl without realizing
that it was not luck, but the ability
to grasp things as they came which
made her successful?
I am so tired of hearing about lucky
people," Do you remember the parable
of the wise and the foolish virgins?
The wise virgins did/not sleep, but
had their lamps trimmed and burning,
and so they were ready when the BRIDE
groom came. l have no doubt that the
foolish virgins thought the wise ones
lucky" Yet the wise virgins were

whether o~pen-faced or disguised"
The trimming and h filing of their
lamps was the supreme opportunity of
the wise virgins. and their c~arefulness
made them ready for the great happi-
ness which followed. Every day I meet
women who seem to feel that they are
pursued by evil fortune. They point to
others and say: "If 1 had her chances
I. too, might achieve" Have not you
heard people complain: IF I only had
the leisure I might write a book?' Yet
many of the most ruocessful authors

in the Philadelphia Press.
In the business world the rewards go
to those who are competent. The op-
portunfties come to those who can
make good. For example: 1 know two
girls, neither of whom lived in homes
where there were servants. The mother
in each case wished to have her daugh-

refused to do, drudgery. Martha busted

.Ncvnrk Day,, Exercises.

"Ncwark Day. Exercises.
AS Monday was Newark Day." Mr..
Stearns invited Frank Urquhart to give
a short history of Newark to the pupils
in the form of a speech. MI. Urquhart
is the man who wrote the history of
Newark. He said in part: TT has
taken $50 years to build Newark, and it
would be impossible to estimate the
cost. This generation is the most pro-
gressive of the five or six generations
which have handled the work New
ark's success is based on her honesty
The people who settled Newark did not
steal the land from the Indians, but
paid a fair price for it. Thus Newark
got an honest start. Newark a spread
all along the banks of the Passaic
river. Today we spoil the beauty of
the river by p~olluting it and construct
ing rude railroad bridges, which also
prevent ships from coming in.
Newark mad a very important part
in the revolutionary war and was the
seat of the British army during the
battle of Princeton. CORVALLIS had his
headquarters at the corner of Broad and
William streets. Newark. also had an
important part In the Civil War in 1862.

duty. Then began their apprenticeship.
Now, as everybody knows. the first
work Of the trained nurse is not unlike
that Of the horsepower; dishes must
be washed In the diet kitchen. dainties
cooked for a delicate appetite, floors
scrubbed In the operating-room.
Martha, having helped at home. took
hold of her work so handiiy that she
was given special nursing in her first
year. Mary, on the other hand, was a
trial to the sou of the superintendent
and matron.
The foundation of hospital care is ex-
treme cleanliness. and Mary's slipshod
ways o o brought her into disgrace.
Crumbs were found in her patients
beds, flowers were left to wfther in
vases, omelets were scoruhed, and
dishes greasy. At last she gave up in
despair and entered upon q less honor
able and less remunerative career,
while Martha became, eventually,
superintendent of the hospital In which
b was trained. One girl was ready
for her opportunity, and the other was
not.
Another case is that Of a little friend
Of mine who was held at home while
her other friends entered upon careers.
The health of her mother made it i'm
possible for her to go out regularly.
h Vas a busy little soul, however,
and she took up the things that were
at hand. In her church there were
many lines OF work, and she followed
these with earnestness, and made her,
self proficient as far as possible. When
she was secretary of a society she wrote
her reports clearly and concisely; as
chairman OF a committee to furnish
Christmas baskets to poor families she
investigated cases c~onscieutiously and
carefully. At length the church found
that 1t was able to employ a social
worker at a snug little salary. They
offered the position to the busy little
girl, and, as it did not demand all of
her time, she was able to take it. Her
friends spoke Of her luck" but We,
who knew her wen. understood that her
life a been a preparation for oppor-
tunity.
I would advise every girl. even
though she has not yet discovered the
things for which she is best fitted, to
put her heart and oul into the doing
of something which interests her. It
may be that she can sew a little and
likes it better than anything else. Then
why not take a course in dressmaking
or a course in millinery? These things
may be of practical value in the days
to come. It is the lazy, incompetent
people who are overlooked.

Do you ever wear any article of
clothing which makes o feel uncom-
Portable?
Do you eat food which you know dis

Dc you give yourself so little time to
dress that you have to rush through
life to keep your appointments?
Is your bath a pleasure n a recre-
alton?
Do you sleep long and retire regu-
larly?
Do you keep your feet dry and
warm?
Do you drink plenty of pure water?
Do you take plenty of exercise in the
open air?
Do you do today's work only. leaving
tomorrow's burden until tomorrow is
today?
Do you plan your work and try to
save yourself time and steps, or do you
dip into first one thing and then an
other blindly?
Do you try always to be cheerful. or
do you fuss and fret and worry about
everything and everybody?
