BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Old Granny Fox was in a terrible tenn
full temper! Jimmy Skunk was laughing
at her, and that made it worse In the
first place, she had caught a plump
chicken She had laid this down while
she tried to catch Peter Rabbit. but Peter
had been warned, and had escaped. Then
Granny Fox had gone back for the chick
en-. only to find that some one had stolen
it, She had accused Jimmy Skunk of
being the thief. Jimmy had laughed at
her, and kept coming right toward her
and because Granny Fox has the greatest
respect for Jimmy Skunk's little bag of
scent she had kept backing away until
she backed right into a bramble bush.

When he. saw this Jimmy Skunk just
rolled over and over on the ground and
shouted, he was so tickled. OF course.
1t wasn't the least bit nice OF Jimmy
Skunk, but you know that Granny Fox
had been calling Jimmy thief Then
Jimmy doesn't like Granny Fox anyway.
nor do any Of the other little meadow and
forest people, for most of them are very
much afraid of her
When old Granny Fox had got out of
the bramble bush she didn't stop to say
anything more to Jimmy Skunk, but hur-
ried away, muttering and grumbling and
grinding her teeth. Old Granny Fox
wasn't pleasant to meet just then. and
when Bobby Coon saw her coming he

That the Trustees Have
to Get the Coin.

ELYRIA, Ohio, September 1.-Oberlin
College, of which the Rev. DIR. Henry c.
King is president, plays the stock market.
according to County Auditor Haserodts s
Interpretation of testimony brought out
before him in a legal proceeding by a
number of Oberlin business men who seek
to compel the college to pay taxes on its
endowment fund.
The testimony as to Oberlin College, s
connection with Wall street speculation
was given by James l.. Severance. a
Standard Oil millionaire. who is treasurer
of the college. He stated that the trus-
tees of the college make it their business
to keep in close touch with the stock
market.
He said that they buy securities for the
benefit Of the college when the market is
low, and sell them when the market Is
high.
I'm other words. the college plays the
market" interrupted Mr.. Haserodt.
You can call it that if you will, an
swered Mr.. Severance with a show of
anger. 1.-The college needs all the money
it can get. SO extensive are its chari-
ties. 1t is the business OF the trustees 10
provide the money.
Students Hit by Cassie Chadwick.
Oberlin College was founded in 1888 as
a Congregati tionalist school. 1t had more
than 2,COO students last year. In 1900 1t
was given $4,000 by Mr.. Severance. It's
students to a considerable number were
caught in 1904 in the failure of the Citi-
Zens' National Bank of Oberlin. which
was wrecked by Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick,
the woman Napoleon of finance" An
drew Carnegie paid the losses of the
students to the extent of $1,000. He
was so vexed for while that he refused
to visit the institution when in that vicin-
ity He afterward relented and gave the
college $125.OOO on condition that it raise
500, 600 more from other persons. The
trustees did it.
John D. Rockefeller gave 100000 to
Oberlin College in 1900 and his general
education board donated $125.OGO in 1909.
| In the same year the institution inner
| tied $4,000 from a New York banker.

Now Permits the Restricted Sale of Liquor in
 Panama

Washington. January 14.-The fact that the sale of liquor in the canal zone Is permitted by Col. George w. Goethals. engineer in charge of the work, and Is upheld by him as being necessary for the "contentment" of the laborers. has shocked some members of the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce who hail from dry" states and have just returned from a trip of inspection to Panama
 There are now four distilleries and 47 saloons in the canal zone; last year there were 59 saloons. An order from the chief engineer would wipe them out at once, but he refuses to issue that order. He believes in an army canteen and uses the same argument In support of the sale of liquor under strict regulation on the territory un : der American supervision that was ad- vocated by Gen.

 When we came here" Colonel Goe- thai said, there was certain localities in the zone where liquor was sold and certain other localities where it was not sold. We never extend to the sale of liquor to towns where liquor had not been sold, and we attempted to limit the number of licenses in other towns. As a result. we created a mo- nopoly or trust in these towns in the liquor business. There was consider able criticism and work and we con cluded to give licenses to everybody who would establish a fair reputation and let them open as many saloons within certain district in which liq- uor had been sold before as they took out licenses for"

COL. ROOSEVELT MAY
 HAVE NAME REMOVED
Statement Submitted in Writing Be- fore March 19 Sufficient
 Says Secretary

Lincoln, Neb.. January 14.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Will liam Jennings Bryan will not be com pelled to stand as presidential candi- dates on the Nebraska primary ballots if they Insist on withdrawing.
 This is the modified ruling made by Secretary of State Wait, who has con tended heretofore that the names of Roosevelt and Bryan must remain on the ballot unless the 25 men who filed their petition withdrew 1t. To have their names removed, the two candi- dates are only obliged to send written declinations on or before March 19.
 Secretary of State Wait also decid- ed there was nothing in the law to pre- vent the name of a man appearing twice on the ballot provided the two offices he seeks do not conflict. Thus 1t will be possible for MT. Bryan. Il he desires. to have his name retained a: presidential candidate and also al low him to file as candidate for del, cgate at large to the democratic ma tional convention.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-01-15

The brilliant electrical illumination of St. Patrick's Cathedral, in Fifth ave nue, New York, will be one of the out ward indications of that citys welcome to Cardinal Farley when he returns from Rome on January 15. Between 3O,00O and 35,0o0 incandescent bulbs will be strung from one end of the mas sive structure to the other, up and down, and from the door steps to the great crosses which surmount the two belfry spires. The residences of the Cardinal and Mgr. Lavelle, just back of the Cathedral and facing in Madison avenue will share uberally in the il- lumination.
 Perhaps the most striking feature of the display will be the coat of arms of the Cardinal. The construction of this piece has been begun. It is to be 20 feet square and will cover the great window between the steeples.
 Beginning at five o'clock each even ing of the celebration for the Cardinals return the Cathedral and residences be- hind it will be illuminated until eleven. The crosses on the steeples will be kept lighted all night for week.
