aSANTA'S NIXUP', ENTERTAINS /.
HOUSTON SQUARE ATDYEN


A Christmas cantata. "Santa,s Mix
up" was presented by the Houston
Square Baptist Sunday school, Tues
day night. A large audience was pres
ent and thoroughly enjoyed the enter
fainment-
The story OF the cantata was that OF
Santa Claus getting badly mixed up in
his presents through carrying them in
the same kind of baskets. Everything
seemed to go against the old Christmas
saint. until finally the mystery IS
solved by the sexton
John F. Gobel, as the sexton, was
the star of the entertainment. Harry
Swain made a good Santa Claus, and
the blue coats were excellent in the
chorus

HITS AT HUMAN NATURE.
(By Francis l.. Garside.)

When a man remains an old bachelor
to the end of his days a romantic ex-
PLANTATION is given: Some girl he loved
years ago died in her youth, or mar
ried some other man but when a wo-
man is always a spinster. all the gos-
sip is about the men who got away.
After a man has reached so he likes
a story with a hero past so.
A man who IS admired for being
"masterful' in the book is abused for
being "bossy'' when found outside lIs
covers.
A woman. is never really busy unless
she can pass a mirror without look
ing IN, or put clean newspapers on the
cupboard shelves without reading the
love stories they contain.
When woman has reached that stage
Of wealth and artistic development
where she can afford bow-legged fur
niture. all the recognition her poor kin
give is the claim that she got it to
match her husband.
Everytime a man is caught doing
something he shouldn't. all trusting
wives double their vigilance.
Some men take their wives with
them so rarely that when they do the
wives should issue a Card of Thanks
In the papers.
It Is a pretty safe bet that the man
who lives to go visiting wore curls
when he was young.

DRY COUNTIES TO VOTE AGAIN

Nine out Of ten counties which voted
dry in April. 1908, have already ordered
an election for next April at which

local option. The "wets" OF Michigan

cause they say that it means that local

CONFLICT IS COMING IN
MEETING OF ESTIMATORS
Fire and Police Department Will Have
To Do Some Explaining As
To Budgets.

AS the time of making up the
estimates draws near. it becomes evi-
dent that there is going to be more
than usual conflict over the budgets
OF the fire and police commissions.
Police Commissioner Croul Is under
stood to be considering extensive
plans for the increase Of his force.
but he Is bound to have hard shedding.
1t Is not the saloonkeepers In the coun-
Gil and board OF estimates alone who
are preparing to oppose CrouFs plans,
although these are the most determin-
ed.
IF the police commissioner can de-
tail a man to do nothing but stand In
front OF one saloon. he certainly has
plenty of men," says Estimator Bar
nett.
The action of Police Commissioner
Croul in buying an automobile patrol
wagon without asking the consent or
the estimators has also aroused some
feeling. Estimator W. A. Schneider
declares that Croul may have to pay
for the machine out OF his own pocket.
BY shifting balances to acquire prop
erty and apparatus which had not
been allowed by the board OF esti-
mates. the fire commission has started
trouble. The latest occurrence In this
line was the purchase OF an automo-
bile fire engine through shifting OF
balances, and Estimator Schneider
makes the charge that the fire com
mission has padded its estimates for
new engine houses.

SOME OLD-TIMERS WILL
AID IN TAKING THE CENSUS
Applicants Include One or Two Who
Were On Job 80 Years Ago
Many Seek Places.


There must be some fun In taking
q federal census. OF the applicants
for positions as enumerators under
Supervisor Orvice R. Leonard, great
many are men who acted as enumera-
tors In 1900. There are also a few
who helped to gather the statistics in
1890 and one or two have dropped In
to state that they helped count up
the population In 1880. So there must
be some attraction in the job besides
finding out how much the man three
doors down the street earned last
year
Applicants are now being received
in large numbers, and 1t looks as II
there would be more than enough as
pirants for the jobs. This need not
discourage anyone particularly well

Leonard IS anxious to get the best
force that he can. Time for taking
applications has been extended to Jan.

Deputy Supervisor Hedley v. Rich

census business in half hour day or
so ago. A large woman with a very
serious look came in to make applica-
ton for a place. Then she began to
ask few questions herself. The
answers evidently did not satisfy her.

TALK OF MARX FOR ASSESSOR
IS JUST HARMONY STUNT
Mayor Anxious To Get Oscar In Line;
He's Sure To Pass Up the
Place.

Mayor Anxious To Get Oscar In Line;
He's Sure To Pass Up the
Place.
More interest Is being displayed In
the appointments which Mayor Brett
meyer will have at this disposal In the
assessors office this year than usual.
This Is because 1t Is quite possible
that there will be three assessors in
stead of one to be appointed. Mayor
Breitmeyer has recommended a char
ter amendment increasing the mem
bersnip of the board from three to
five and this will probably be voted
on In April or May.
II Is said that influential friends OF
the mayor have sounded Oscar B.
Marx as to whether he will accept an
appointment as assessor. Marx was Of
fered an assessorship under a previous
administration and refused then, as he
Is expected to refuse now. He has
very remunerative business connec-
tions. which he Is not likely to give
up. The offer to Marx Is considered
to be In the nature of peace over
ture for the purpose of creating Re-
publican harmony. Marx has many
friends In the ranks Of the Codd Re-
publicans. and he was very strongly
urged for park commissioner last year.
Other men who have been men,
toned for the assessorship are John
Bleil. Herman F. link, Charles Zielke
and Charles H. Weber, the two latter
being possibilities only In case there
are three appointments to be made.
Even if the number of assessors re-
mains at three. there will be two
places as deputy assessors to fill. Ed
ward Keusch, Assessor Doran's assist
ant, is likely to become a clerk In the
office, while Burdette A. Evans Is due
to go. Evans made very good run for
circuit court commissioner In 1908 and
the expiration of his service as deputy
assessor in July will leave him free
to make another campaign for the
same Office this year. as he is almost
certain to do John Kohler. assistant
permint clerk Of the department OF
public works. will get one of the
vacant places as deputy assessor.
