KEEP on SMILING.

When you feel depressed and sad,
Keep on smiling,
What's the use Of getting mad,
Keep or smiling,
There is always something bad
For the discontinued lad
Just forget the things you had
Keep on smiling.
When you hear the breakfast horn
Keep on smiling.
Get up early in the morn,
Keep on smiling.
Eat your breakfast with a heart,
Go out whistling like a lark
From your cares forever part
Keep on smiling.
Put your mind upon your task,
Keep on smiling.
OF no one large credit ask
When you borrow have a way
You can settle in a day,
All your debts be sure to pay.
Keep on smiling.
If the day be cold and bleak
Keep on smiling.
Never show your tender streak
Keep on smiling
Though to-day you may be pining
Meath the clouds the sun is shining
Pleasure then you will be finding.
Keep on smiling.
IF you tumble from a boat
Keep on smiling.
If salt water fills your throat
Keep on smiling.
Cramps may quicker up your limb
You may have to sink or swim
Now or never be thy hymn,

NE,N GUARDIANS ARE
BOTH NOTED STATESMEN

Washington, Dec. 6--The abdication
of Prince Chun as regent and the
substitution Of Shi Hsu and Hsu Shih
Chang as guardians Of the throne, Is
regarded in official circles here as a
substantial victory for Yuan Shl Kai
between whom and the retiring regent
there has been much bitter feeling ev-
er since Yuan was dismissed from the
court in 1910.
OF the two new regents, Hsu Shih
Chang Is by far the more interesting
personally. He Is distlnctlvely Chinese
in birth and training and aspirations,
and has been one Of Yuan's staunch-
est advocates, protesting against his
dismissal in 1909 and memoralizing
the throne since then to cause his re-
turn to public life.
Chang was born In Chi Ii and was
grand counsellor In 1905 when he was
sent to Manchuria on special mis-
sion and afterwards was retained there
as vieeroy until 1909, when he was
made president of the board of com
munications. In addition he was APP
pointed grand secretary, a very high
position. in 1910.
Shih Hsu is one of the old line Man
chus and was appointed grand Sec
retary in 1905 and grand chancellor
the following year. Since 1905 he has
also occupied the office OF junior
guardian to the heir apparent and In
| 909 he was president of the board of
foreign affairs.

PelIin, Dec. 6.--An edlct announc-
ing the resignation of Regent Prince
Chun was issued today by the em-
press dowager 1t Is signed by mem
bers of the cabinet and points out
that the administration has been un-
popular and that a constitutional gov
ernment has not yet been established,
explaining this by the fact that COM
plicatlons arose the peoples hearts
were broken and the country was
thrown into turmoil.
The regent regrets that his repent
anec came too late and feels that If
he continued in power his commands
would be disregarded.
The edict continues:
"He wept and prayed to resign the
regency, at the same time expressing
his earnest intention TO abstain from
politics. l. the empress dowager, llv-
ing in the palace, am ignorant of the
state of affairs, but know that rebel
lion exists and fighting continues,
causing disaster everywhere, while
the commerce of friendly nations suf-
fcrs The regent is honest though
ambitious Being misled he has
harmed the people; therefore his res
lgnation is accepted"
The edict demands loyalty to the
ministers from the people who "must
now realize that the court does not
object to the surrender of the power
vested in the throne"
The regent has been granted $4,000
taels annually from the imperial
household allowance.
As the imperial and revolutionary
leaders at Hankow have not yet como
to an understanding the armlstice has
been extended for an additional three
days.
The regent sacrificed himself in a
last effort to save the throne for his
son, but unless all signs fail. It Is
too late. Premier Yuan Shi Kai has
| let Pekln know that he has taken the
British minister. sir John j. Gordon
into his confidence. He has told the
| minister his plans and hopes much
from the minister's mediation.
On the other hand the rebels to-
night confidently declare that Yuar
| Shi Kai is their man. They describe
him as master statesman, because
he is accomplishing the transition
from the Manchu dynasty to a re-
public without a massacre or an at.
tack on the legations.
Yuan shi Kai is now entirely pow
erful within the limitations OF thu
disrupted government. The rebels say
| they expect him to manipulate th'
regiments until the Manchus are n,
longer capable Of disturbing the cap.

SHADOWING GOMPERS

watching closely the movements of
Samuel Gompers president Of the
American Federation of Labor, was
made known here tonight when
United States Attorney Miller told of
secret Washington conference held
between the labor head and Prosecu-
tor Baker of this county.
The visit was made about the time
the county officials were attempting
to prevent the federal authorities
from gaining possession of the books
and records obtained in raid at
the offices of the International Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural iron
Workers when j. j. Mcnamara was
arrested.
Prosecutor Baker admits that he
conferred with Gompers and says he
intends to make second visit next
January.
In reply to Mr.. Gompers, who said
the district attorney was impertinent,
Mr.. Miller said:
Mr. Gompers insists that his posi-
ton is secure and his attitude con-
sstent, but he is very tender and
touchy since his 'credulity' was I'M
posed upon by the statements MADE
by the Mcnamara brothers.
Because | was quoted as saying
that. in my opinion, 'Gompers is an
unsafe leader; he very passionately
exclaims that he is not afraid OF be-
ing prosecuted.
"Mr. Gompers need not necessar-
ily concern himself as to my attllude
in attempting to enforce the laws OF
the United States in this jurisdiction
He can be assured of the fact that
