YOAKUM IS OPTIMISTIC

New York, Dec 19.-B. F. Yoakum,
chairman of the st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad, who has been on
an extended trip through the South
and Southwest, will start for the
Southwest again in day or two. Civ
ing his opinion of business conditions
he says there is nothing the matter
with the country at large.
According to Mr.. Yoakum "all basic
factors that make for the stability of
nation are in evidence in all sec
tions, with manufacturers all over the
country excusing themselves for not
being able to get the raw material
fast enough to fill orders promptly!
Since material supply companies are
complaining of insufficient cars to
handle promptly coal, coke, lumber
pig iron, ETC., it does not look as if
We are going backward instead of for
ward.
1--WE have in the Southwest more
than another years business, so We
are happy, and there are few calam-
ity howlers to be found, either polit-
ical or business"

PRESIDENT TAFT
TO ACCEPT OFFER
viii Take Up Duties Of the Kent Pro-
fessorship of Law at Yale
in the Spring.

Washington, Dec. 19.-President
Taft has made up his mind to accept
the proffer of the Kent professorship
of law at Yale and probably will take
up his duties at New Haven early in
the spring. The president is said to
have determined upon accepting the
Yale professorship for several rea-
sons. He will not be restricted merely
to lectures to Yale students, but will
be permitted to lecture if he desires
in other law schools or upon the plat
form, or to engage in any other &C.
cupation which he sees fit.
The analogy between the Yale pro-
fessorship and Grover Cleveland's re-
lation with Princeton appealed to Mr..
Taft strongly and when many of his
close friends and advisers wrote to
him approving his acceptance of the
chair at Yale he decided to take it.
The president expects to spend sew
eral weeks after March in Augusta,
Ga, where he has passed two winter
vacations.

He complains that two-thirds of his
office correspondence is from people
either seeking positions or an audi
ence to explain their fitness for we'll

CORUNNA, Mich, June 17.-Samuel
Walker, aged IL, and youth named
Weatherw arrested Saturday night
on a charge of horse stealing, have
made damaging confessions, the po-
lice say, and the officers express the
belief that they have broken up the
gang which has stolen number OF

few months.
Saturday night, when Fred Angus
returned home from the city, he dis
covered that his horse and buggy had
been stolen. He communicated with

SENATOR
OLDER THAN PREDECESSOR
Study of Biographies Skaters
Popular Belief Relative to
Solons' Average Age

II is popularity supposed that young
er men are being elected TO the Unit
ed States senate today than ever be-
fore. The constitution requires that a
senator be at least thirty years of
age, nine years a citizen OF the United
States and an inhabitant of the state
from which he Is elected. IL Is very
seldom that the constitutional age
limit is ever approached, the. average
senator being upward OF forty years
of age at the time OF his induction
into office. With such men as Sena-
tor Luke Lea, OF Tennessee; Senator
William T. Borah, of Idaho, and Sen
ator Bourne. OF Oregon, people natu-
rally suppose that the present senate
Is made up OF more young men than
ever before. Yet a study OF the biog-
raphies OF the men who have served
In the United States senate from the
beginning OF the government down 10
the present day, reveals the fact that
the average age of the solon OF 1872
Is higher than the average age of his
predecessor of a hundred years ago.
The story OF the United States SEN
ate which best presents the work OF
that body is to be found in the new

STREAK OF ILL-LUCK

OWOSSO, Mich, June 1.-THE
death on Saturday Of Mrs. Margaret
cLaughlin. who before her marriage
was ISIS Cantrell. reveals another case
of ill-luck which has followed the
cLaughlin-Cantrell family for many
years. Mrs. Mclaughlin died as the
result OF injuries sustained when she
fell on Memorial day.
A few years ago her brother, Thos
Cantrell, was run down by an engine
and killed. Following that. her sis

poisoning. A son, David, was shot In
Chicago, while acting as peacemaker

CIRCUS HAS REMARKABLE
HOLD ON GENERAL PUBLIC
Chicago Clergyman, After See
ing Ringlings' Show, Boosts
Exhibition in Sermon

Many instances may be cited 10
prove that OF all institutions the cir.
Gus has the strongest hold on the uni.
versal heart. OF course, II depends
largely upon what circus IL is. In
this case reference is made to Ring
ling Brothers,, which for so. many
years has enjoyed wonderful popular
ity among people OF note as we'll as
the masses.
The esteem in which the truly great
man holds the circus is admirably ex-
pressed by Jenkin Lloyd Jones, the
eminent Chicago minister and lee
turer, who, after a visit among the
performers OF Ringing Brothers cir
Gus, preached a sermon in Lincoln
Memorial church on the Gospel of
the Circus" DIR. Jones characterized
circus folks as a high-minded class of
meI and women who We're figuring in
a very important way I'm the great
work OF elevating the human race He
said they inspired the youth of the
land with n desire not to neglect their
physical bodies while striving to gain
intellectual heights. A day at the cir
Gus, he believed, turned back the tide
of the years, making the tired bust
ness man once more a care-free boy
and letting the sunshine OF heaven
into his heart DR. Jones spent days
among the circus people. and declared
them a moral and rational body oil
men and women. performing a great
service to mankind
Aside from it's worth as an enter
tainment the great spectacle OF Joan
OF Arc which opens the regular cir
Gus program, is a masterful sermon
illuminating the inspiring story OF q
peasant girl who. through the power
OF faith and christian herolsm, be
came the deliverer OF a nation. Over
1.200 people, 900 horses and train

THEATERS
LYcEuM.

LYC6UM.
The old, old play OF sunshine and
tears, the dramatized version OF Har-
riet Beecher Stoves Uncle Tom s
Cabin" which helped to plunge ma
ton into civil war, Is presented this
week by Vaughan Chaser and com
pany as the seasons closing attrac-
ton in the Lyceum theater. Those
accustomed to regard Chaser only a.
the picturesque matinee idol would
be surprised at the demonstration OF
his remarkable versatility In playing
the part of Uncle Tom. II Is safe TO
say that the part was never more
agreeably presented than by Mr..
CHASER to a crowded house Sunday
night. The play never descends to
the ridiculous, as In the case Of the
cheap versions which have made the
good old drama the butt OF many
jokes In recent years.
Miss Fay Courteney Is cast for the
part OF Topsy, the mischievous slave
girl. She Frances about fully as care
free as the original Topsy and her
rendition of the part brings roars OF
laughter from the audience. She
sang the Missouri Houn Dawg song,
leading sure 'nough hound before
the footllghts.
The part OF Little Eva is played by
Mary Louise Eigholz, beautiful
child OF about seven summers, who
acts and speaks her lines with the
poise and composure OF a polished
professional The audience was quick
to respond to the play Of emotions,
and. as Little Eva and Uncle Tom
took their sad farewell there was a
sea OF handkerchiefs. stemming the
tide of tears. There are five acts
with three scenes In the first act, and
the play stretches out to an unusual
length but throughout IL all the aud
fence was seldom quiet. 1t was either
laughing or plunged In grief, and,
from above, frequently came the gal
lery gods emphatic hiss. The Chaser
players get all there is out of Uncle
Toms Cabin"
The various members of the COM
pany seem admirably adapted 10 their
roles. Charles Carver instills just the
necessary touch of heroisA In the
role OF George Harris, the fugitive.
Frederick Kirby, as Mr.. Wilson. the
slave dealer, Is vicious with the whip,
and James Hester, fat and jolly, as
the shyster lawyer. Marks, furnishes
the necessary comedy part. Reynolds
Williams plays the part Of st. Claire,
the kindly planter of Vermont, who
buys Uncle Tom from the despicable
wilson Edmund Roberts is the
rough visaged. warm-hearted Mr..
Shelby, who always interceSes FOR
Uncle Tom.
The scenery is worthy of much IA
vorable comment. There Is the Miss
issippi river scene, the steamer La
Belle Rivierre" lying at dock. Local
colored players contribute generously
to the success of this act. as about 70
take part. They sing and dance ac-
ceptably and the old plantation scene
becomes a reality. The scene in st.
Claire's villa on Lake Pontchartrain,
in the evening, is also beautiful and
Impressive. The play Is well worth
seeing.
