A Christmas Game.

The "chest" may be arranged in any
way that will hide one of the players.
The game is based on the old poem,
"Mistletoe Bought"
The mistletoe hung i'm the castle hall.
The holly branch shone on the old oak
wall.
The baron's retainers were blithe and
gay
A-keepng the Christmas holiday.
The "retainers" all form ring about
the 'lover," who Is blindfOided. The
retainers sing:
Here we are so bIithe and gay,
Keeping our Christmas holiday.
One will hide in the chest hereby.
To guess who it is you must surely try
With that one Of the ''retainers" runs
and hides in the improvised chest.
The s1over' is led to it, and he may
ask questions of the hidden one, who
may reply by Eyes" or no" disguis
ing the voice. BY these answers the
'1over'' must tell who the retainer Is.
If he fails he must try again. When
he succeeds, the hidden person becomes
the lover.

THEN CAME THE MERRY MAsKERs IN.
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And Ceremony dOffed his pride.
The heir, with roses i'll his shoes,
That night might village partner
choose;
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage as the crown
Brought tidings of salvation down.
The fire, with well dried logs supplied,
Went roaring up the chimney wide;
The huge hall tables oaken face,
Scrubbed till it shone, the day to grace,
Bore then upon its massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord.
Then was brought in the lusty Drawn
BY old blue coated serving man;
Then the grim boar's head frowned on
high,
Crested with bays and rosemary.
Well can the green barhed ranger tell
What dogs before his death he tore
And all the batting of the boar.
The wassail round, in good brown
bowls,
Garnished with ribbons, blithely trowls.
There the huge sirloin reeked; hard by
Plum porridge stood and Christmas pie,
Nor failed old Scotland to produce
At such high tide her savory goose.
Then came the merry maskers in,
And carols roared with blithesome din;
If unmelodious was the song,
1t was hearty note and strong.
England was merry England when
Old Christmas brought his sports
again.
'Twas Christmas broached the might
est ale;
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer
The poor mans heart through half the
year.

Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1910-03-08

principal argument in favor of its crea-
ton is that it will prevent delay and
confusion in the enforcement of the
law by creating one tribunal specially
versed in the complicated and often
technical questions arising out of the
application of the interstate commerce
law to railroads and other carriers sub
ject to the act.
Supreme court rulings are cited in
support of the contention that the
scope of review of the commissions
orders in the court will not be wider
than it is now in the circuit courts.
It. is contended that courts ought not
to be endowed with merely administra-
tive powers such as are involved in
the exercise Of the commissions dis
erection. The claim that there will not
be enough business to keep the trib-
unal occupied is not seriously consid-
cred by the commission.
The administration bill gives the at
torney general entire charge and con-
troll of the interests Of the government
in all cases and proceedings in the
court of commerce and in the supreme
court on appealed cases. This is q

been made upon the ground that it did
not prohibit the acquisition by means
of holding corporation of stocks of
competing lines of railway The pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust law.
so completely cover the ground that
the committee deemed it unnecessary
to attempt a repition of those prohibi-
tons in this act. For the same reason
it was not deemed expedient to at
tempt to deal with the combinations
Of express companies or telegraph and
telephone companies, because, where
such combinations constitute a re-
straint of trade the Sherman act af-
fords ample authority to reach and
prevent them"
Attention is called to the fact that
the bill provides a means of ascertain
ing My judicial investigation and de-
termination whether or not a bona -fide
contract proposed to be entered into
respecting the acquisition of stock or
property of railroads is in violation of
the prohibitions of the Sherman act
before large investments of capital
are made in reliance upon seeming,
although possibly wholly illusory, le-
gality. This provision is held to be Of
obvious advantage to the government
for the reason that such an investiga-
ton would be conducted before the

change from the existing law. The
committee says that the present sys-
tenn combines in the members of the
interstate commerce commission the
functions OF investigator, judge, and
prosecutor, which is declared to DO
contrary to the correct theory Of law
or procedure.
Commenting upon the provision for
investigation by the commission OF
proposed increases in rates, the report
says that majority of the committee
is of opinion that the commission
should be authorized to commence the
investigation of a proposed increase in
rate, or change in classification rs
soon as it is filed. The majority sup
ports also the proposition that at any
time before the rate or classification
will become effective the commission
should be empowered to postpone the
effective date for reasonable period
to enable it to investigate the proposed
action.

Mrs. cudahy Society Belle.
Since Cudahy's marriage to Miss
Edna Gown, who was a society belle
of Omaha, on Dec. %, 1899, the fam
lily has been prominent here. On the
day of the marriage Cudahy's father
made him manager of his Kansas City
packing interests. After three
months honeymoon, which included
trips on special trains and the occI-
pancy of palace in italy, the couple
returned here and purchased one Of
the finest homes in the city.

He is manager Of the Western Elk

He holds memberships in the Kansas

questions involved. The bill in tina,
regard is defended and the report says
of this feature of the bill:
These provisions are so framed as
not to prevent the ordinary means Of
financing railroad companies, while
interposing an effectual protection
against the issue of stock COR bonds
without adequate consideration.
while it may be objected that the
provisions of this act do not go far
enough in regulating the capitalization
of railroad corporations, no candid
critic can fail to admit that they con-
stitute long step in the direction OF
establishing such national legislation
and supervision as will prevent the fu-
ture over-issue of stocks and bonds by
interstate carriers and that they go as
far as prudent legislation should go in
