If the Republican party is to add
anything to its legislative record. for
the purposes Of the 1912 campaign, 1t
must do so during the short session
of Congress, which viii begin Monday,
Dec. s. and adjourn sine die next
March at noon.
The time will be short, and the num-
Der Of important measures pressing
for attention large. At best, only a
few Of them can be disposed of finally,
but every important bill put through
will help in 1912 by just that much.
At every turn. however. the Repub-
lican will be opposed by the Demo-
Gratis in both houses, who will take ad-
vantage of the rules. especially in tho
Senate, 20 prevent action. II will be
the claim OF the Democrats that the
country, having turned TO them in the
recent election, will expect them e
originate and seek TO carry out import
ant legislative policies, and this viii
be their pretext for obstruction.

that something will be accomplished
in the way OF carrying out the recon.

The Manufacturers Hav,
Spoiled People, Is His
Declaration.

People are getting entirely too
fussy about their clothes"
1t was the NobDy- Clothes-for-
Nobby-People salesman who was
talking.
The pretty cashier patted
yawns away. "Yes?" she said-en-
Enthusiastically, like that, "Y-e-s?"
But the man behind the counter
was in earnest. Eyes," he con-
tinued, "the manufacturers have
spoiled them.
Its this half-size and quarter
size business. See that fellow Just
going out. He wanted Is IA
shirt. Just plain foolishness. You
know we used to have just about
two sizes in shirts and collars
big, medium and little. And people
were just as happy.
Then we got sizes, then half
sizes. Then here couple of years
ago, the collar manufacturers came
across with quarter sizes. S'pose
the shirt people will be doing that
next.
People were just as happy in
the ola Gays without all LnlS lOol-
ishness. Clothes fitted just as
well, felt just as good. Now they
come in here with list of number
shoulder-they couldn't be more
particular if they were getting a
tailor-made suit.
Half sizes in shoes, half sizes
in underwear-just imagine that
eighth-sizes in hats-it runs
through the whole business. Eight
times as much work for the clerk,
no more money for the store, you
have to carry just twice as big a
stock, and people getting more
particular every day. l think If 1t
gets any worse, I'll buy a farm.
Then l won't have anything to
worry me-"

column of figures. Yes, yes" she

planning that play dealing with

The celebrated Yelled Prophet" of
history was a MOslem fanatic whose
real name was Haken Ibn Hashem.
He was born about the middle Of the
eighth century and became the most
noted impostor Of the middle ages.
He pretended that he was an embodi-
ment of the spirit Of the "living God"
and. being very proficient in jugglery
(Which the ignorant mistook for the
power to work miracles). soon drew
an immense number Of followers
around him. He always wore a gold
mask. claiming that he did SO to pro-
tect the mortals of this earth. who. he
said. could not look upon his face and
live.
At last, after thousands had quilted
the city and even left the employ Of
the Caliph al Mohdi to join the fanat-
ical movement. an army was sent
against the yelled Prophet" forcing
him to fee for safety to the castle at
Keh. north Of the OXus. Finally.
when ultimate defeat was certain. the
prophet killed and burned his whole
family and then threw himself into
the flames, being entirely consumed.
