Hold Fast,

Even the tots can play at the good
game of "hold fast" while even the
older boys and girls will find it sufti-
GENTLY puZZling to make a quarter
hour pass blithely. The only requisite
is 4 number of lengths of tape all of
the same number Of inches, or if the
tape is not at hand cut silesia or any
cotton goods. into narrow strips and
use this. The person who leads the
game holds one end Of each of the
tapes. The opposite end Of each strip
is held by some other player. and all
players other than the leader form q
semicircle, which the leader himself
must stand facing. When the leader
says Hold fast" all players must let
go their tapes. and when he says LET
go" they must. On the contrary, hold
them fast. Any II obeying the COM
mands literally, as some are sure to
do, must pay forfeits.

FOR The CHILDREN
Guarding the Treasure.

The equipment for the game is not
difficult to procure. Cans are always
available. Decide by counting out
who shall be 'it," or the miser who
must guard his treasure. The miser
will take a position directly over the
can, his treasure, one foot on each
side. At least, this is the position usu-
ally chosen as being the best suited for
guarding the can. There is no rule,
however, about this, and some boys
prefer other defenses, as standing just
behind the can or continually NOV
ing about it. The rest Of the
boys are robbers and circle about
it, attempting to steal the treasure,
or, in other words. kick it away
without being tagged. If Il succeeds
another Immediately kicks. it, and
away goes the can down the street
with a crowd Of yelling robbers after
it, doing their best to keep the poor
miser from regaining his position Owe
the treasure. If the miser succeeds in
tagging any boy who has kicked the
car before another boy kicks it. the
boy tagged becomes the miser and
must stand owe the treasure.

Not Such a Goose After All.

Geese can tell their eggs from others
that are very much like them. A goose
that al sitting on several eggs was
supplied by the dairymaid with an
equal number of ducks eggs because
she thought that so large a bird ought
to be able to hatch a larger brood than
her own. But the next morning the
girl found all the duck eggs on the
ground. They had been taken out of
the nest and placed there without
breaking. She put them back again.

Theories Coincide.

Woodrow Wilson is a strong expon-
ent of the same theories of new
nationalism as are expounded by Owen.
New York with the election of Dix and
the present democratic administration,
is conceded to be in the hands of the
special interests" Both Owens and
Wilson's fights have been against this
very form of government, they both
attempting to create a new national
issue along lines of the elimination of
corrupt practices.
The nomination for vice president
in 1912 comes before the primary cleo
tion in Oklahoma. Should Owen fail
to receive such nomination, he would
yet have time to make vigorous fight
against Haskell for reelection to the
senate from this state.
Senator Owen has attracted national
attention recently in his attitude in
the Lorimer case, and while this con-
.nection is still matter of national
comment, he comes to this state os-
tensibly as a matter of courtesy to the
Cruce administration.
At the first opportunity after reach
ing here he made assertions concern
ing the unfitness of Harmon, this hav-
ing been contained in an interview
given The Times the day before his
address before the legislature.
A likely surmise among people in
Oklahoma is that Senator Owen is
figuring on place on the national
ticket next time. He is too shrewd
politically to believe that he can Sc
cure the nomination for president, but
possibly does believe that he has some
show for the nomination to the vice
presidency.

WARMING SOUNDED AGAINST

which came in the closing minutes of

Mr.. Bell did not attempt to start a
Bryan boom. In fact he eliminated the
distinguished Nebraskan from any fur
ther consideration as the nominee
either in 1912 or any succeeding presi-
dental year.
Fate undoubtedly has decreed," he
said, that Mr.. Bryan shall not be NOM
mated a fourth time and that he shall
never be elected president of the Unit
ed States"
But Mr.. Bell warned his hearers that
if they were seeking a harmony which
might bring about future democratic
success they must not continue pol
icy which omitted Mr.. Bryan from CON
sideration as a leader in the party
councils.

RESUMES CONSIDERATION
OF SENATOR L0R|MER CASE

Washington, d. c., Jan. 19.-After al
most week of cessation the senate
yesterday resumed the consideration OF
the case Of Senator Lorimer. There
were two speeches, one by Burrows
chairman of the committee on priv
ileges and the elections, in support OF
the Illinois senator, and the course OF
Lorimer in demanding an investigation
while Borah declared that corruption
had characterized the proceedings ever
since Lorimer decided to become a
candidate for the senate. .
Both addresses were sharply analy.
tical, and both went at length into the
Testimony. They frequently quoted the
same statements of the witnesses, but
the deductions were evidently at var
lance.
The speeches resembled each other
lin the fact that both denounced the
conduct of Representative White
whose statement in Chicago news
paper led to the investigation, but
while Borah contended for the prob
able truthfulness of the revelations as
indicated by the supporting circum.
stances, the Michigan senator found
nothing to sustain him or give cred.
ence to the exposition.
Burrows speech is the first that has
been made in Lorimer's behalf. Many
opposing senators have been waiting
for the presentation of the affirmative
side of the case and it is believed that
consideration will now proceed expe-
ditiously, though still many arguments
will be heard before a vote can be
reached,

eial Club. Last night be met the man.
ufacturing committee and submitted
his proposition.
He proposes to move his plant to
this city If the Commercial Club will
build him suitable building, which
he said could be of boxing, with a
two-inch oak floor and gravel roof.
This building will cost about $1,000
and Mr.. Nosier said they would ac-
cept a lease to site on the right-of-
way of one of the railroads. He says
he will not ask the club to deed him
the building until he has had his plant
in operation here at least five years.
This company manufactures cast
iron cooking stoves and metal ranges.
and if they locate here will probably
make gas range. The local hard
ware men say the stove made by the
Ideal company viii be very saleable
in this country.
AS soon as Mr. Woodcock of the
Woodcock Manufacturing company re-
turns from Kansas City, a proposition
will be made him to get the castings
for the stove company made at the
local foundry.

the Moon bill, codifying laws relating
to the judiciary, which will stop the
practice of corporations doing an in
terstate business from taking practical
ly all suits against them out of the
hands of state courts and placing them
in the federal courts.
The amendment was offered M Rep
resentative Garrett of Tennessee, and
after preliminary skirmish in which
party lines weer tightly drawn, was
finally adopted by virtually a unani-
nous vote.
Mr.. Garrett, in explaining the
amendment. said it would prevent
New Jersey corporation, for instance,
from transferring state court suits
against it to the United States courts
on the ground that the officers and di-
rectors of the corporation live in New
York. The amendment is regarded as
an important one and called out
