THE OLD LEMON JOKE AGAIN
Lincoln Friend Has Fun With stu.

When University of Missouri stu
dent opened his lock box at the post
Office this morning he found a neat
ly wrapped package and a postal
card. He tore open the package in
the lobby and out rolled a lemon, lib
orally covered with fish hooks. An
examination of the wrapping re-
vealed the pOst-mark, Lincoln,
Neb." 1t was from a friend at the
University of Nebraska. The card
was from a former Kansan in his
hcme town and with whom the
Missouri student has a bet of S. on
the Missouri-Kansas game. The card
presented picture of a crowd in

across the card were the words,

The Newest Books
Rebellion.

/ Joseph Medill Patterson, rich,
young and socially powerful, has
written another startling book more
surcharged with the tense life of the
present day than was "A Little
Brother of The Rich" in which story
he made society gasp. Rebellion
is the name chosen by the radical
young Chicagoan for his latest nov
el, which deals with the problem Of
divorce.
Rebellion" is the story of an
American girl bound to a man on
whom the curse of liquor rests heav-
ny, and the marital ties are for her
seemingly unbreakable. for she is a
member of that church which abides
by the letter of the command: !:
Whom God hath joined together let
no man put asunder." Georgia Con-
nor is the girl whose stirring life
story is the central theme of the nov
el Her husbands habits forced her
to support herself, and in the Office
where she finds employment she
meets the other man" Mason Ste
vens is of the type of country boy
who comes to the city and makes
good" and almost uncOnsciously he
makes good" with Georgia COnnor,
too. With the irrevOcable rule of her
church haunting her day and night.
Georgia denies even to herself that
Stevens has forced himself into the
foreground of her life. Then Ste
vens is sent to Kansas City and in
the scene of parting, the yelling
tide of affection sweeps away the bar
rier that Church and family have
reared and she confesses her love, in
one of the most powerful scenes in
the novel. At the plea of her parish
priest Georgia goes back to her hus-
band.
Jim and Georgia parted at the
cemetery gate after the burial of
their son and as Mr.. Patterson
writes. they have not, since then,
seen each other"
The story finds sunny though
logical terminus, thus showing that
MIR. Patterson is able now and then
to take other than a 'grieved out
look upon life" Indeed Rebellion"
sparkles with delightful bits of COM
edy - little vignettes of life on Chi
cagOs West Side. full of the obser-
vation and character drawing at
which the author has become expert.
Is marriage sacred? Is divorce
ever justified. Should divorced per-
sens feel free to marry again?
churches decide for the in
dividual? These problems are the
pI oblems discussed in Rebellion"

LOOKING FORWARD.

Thirty-four to nothing is pretty
uneven score in a football game. TIC
be frank, it is a rather humiliating
score to the team that claims the
goose egg" We can make all the
excuses we please about that Nebras-
ka game but luck" doesn't enter
into Iop-sided score like that. We
we're whipped-soundly and fairly.
Perhaps the Tigers did not play
the game they did at Ames. In any
case Missouri pride demands that
they redeem themselves. 1t will in
deed be a humiliating experience if
Kansas duplicates the trick on Rol-
lins Field The Missouri Tiger will
be a docile Bengalite if. bearded in
his own jungle. he puts up no better
fight than he did at Lincoln.
There is powerful lot of good to
be gained from a sound threshing. 1t
is the best cure in the world for over
confidence. II is an incentive to ev-
cry red-blooded man who is whipped
to get up and try it again--only hard
er. The Nebraska defeat doesn't
spel a thing for November 25. We
can whip Kansas out on Rollins
Field tomorrow. We can do it with
touchdowns to spare November %.
1t is very well to make resolutions
for future Nebraska games, but 1912
is a year away and this is 1911. The
thing to do is to finish this season
with a clean slate. For every sting
left by the Nebraska game, let us
drive two into Kansas. All over this
continent from Canada to Cape
Horn. from New York to San Fran
cisco, there are loyal sons of old NJ.
Z. who will throw up their hats and
forget there ever was a place called
Lincoln, if the Tigers will only make
mince meat out of the Jayhawk. For
the present, let us forget Nebraska
and Beat Kansas"

when We went up to Iowa to meet

Almost the entire first half the
ball was in Missouri's territory. Near
the end of the half. Iowa's quarter

WOMAN LEPER DIES AT HOME
Fight at Aiken, S. c., Failed to Put
Miss Kirk in Pest House.

After being in quarantine at her
home in Aiken, S. c., for more than
two years Miss Kirk, a leper, has
just died from what is said to have
been a complication of diseases. No
official statement was issued by her
physician, but it is not believed lep-
rosy caused her death.
Miss Kirk contracted leprosy in
Brazil nineteen years ago while sery-
ing in that country as a Presbyterian
missionary. She has been treated by
specialists of worldwide reputation,
and pronounced incurable.
The fact that she was a leper did
not become known in Aiken until
two years ago. When an attempt
was made to remove her to the pest
house an injunction was secured and
the case was bitterly fought in 'h"
courts for more than d year She
never left her own home.

COST OF MOONSHINE SCARS
QUART BOTTLE, NOT GALLON
JUG, GOES NOW TO STUMP.
Mountain Dew" Joins High Living
Cost. There Is Lively Demand
For 1t at $500 Per Gallon.

VI III dI SHsUO ICE OdllOns
ATLANTA Moonshine whiskey
has gone up, according to the report
of the revenue officers. Time was
when a man could take his gallon
jug, wander over to the old hollow
stump and leave the jug with a
round silver dollar and return later
to find it filled with the merry corn
juice.
But that time is no more. Prohi-
bitiOn and the watchfulness of the
revenue officers have made a change
in things, and while the maker. of
moonshine has the advantage of hav-
ing to supply a greater demand he
also has to be shrewder in lodging
the men who are constantly on his
trail.
Now fresh made mountain corn
brings at least four dollars a gal
Ion, and there is a lively market for
it at that figure and sometimes more.
So the fellow who used to leave his
gallon jug with a silver dollar now
needs to leave only a quart bottle
At Christmas time the moonshine
business takes a boom, and the reve-
nue. officers here say more is done
than in any other two or three
months in the year They expect
December to show something like
100 seizures and arrests in Georgia
Florida and Alabama. But no mat
ter how many arrests are made or
how many stills are broken up there
seems to be a new moonshiner and
a new still for everyone the hunters
of them interfere with.
And the profit is said to be good.
There was a profit of about 200 20
300 per cent at dollar a gallon, as
a dollars worth of material van
make three to four gallons of wis
key. With the higher prices the
profit becomes something fabulous
but there is comparatively little t9
be made out of it at that because
the business has to be conducted on
so limited a scale.
