Steam Heated

The Palm management think
they have about a perfect thea
tire now as the plumbers finish
installing the steam heating
system today. With their own
electric light plant, steam heat
etc., people can come down
town with the assurance of see
ing a show at the Palm. They
will leave their stoves up in
case the heat is turned off at
any time so that no matter
what kind of weather, no matt
er whethe the city lights are on
or not, you can always see a
good show at the Palm They
have just had an expert go over
their light plant and put it in
perfect condition. Storm doors
which will be added, just inside
the theatre doors, will keep
the theatre free from draughts
and make it just as cozy as
your own home.

AS a slight diversion the
teacher suggested that each
child in the class draw a pict-
ure from which she could guess
what the child wanted to be
when grown. All sorts of arti-
cles were illu ,trated: books for
bookkeepers, hats for milJiners
etc. One little girl, however
had a blank sheet.
"Why, Doris, don't you want
to be anything when you grow
up?"
"Yessum," said Doris; 81
want to be married, but | don't
know how to draw it."
"Bobby," said the lady inthe
street car, severly, "Why don't
you get up and give your seat
TO your father? Doesn't it pain
you to see him reaching for the
strap?
"Not in a car" said Bobby.
"It does at home" ("
Willie "Pop, what are 'ances.
tors?"
Father "Well I'm one of yo.
urs - your grandad is another
Willie "Oh! But why is it
that folks brag about them?."
The beautiful Indian Summer
famous in Iowa, proves a delu.
sion this year. April showers
seem to occupy the center ot
the stage this fall.

CircumstantiaI Evidence

A tramp while passing thro'
the South station in Boston
found a small enamel pin on
the floor. He glanced it over
carelessly as he picked it up,
then pinned it on the lapel of
his coat. A short while after
wards the same tramp was hit
and knocked unconscious by a
freight train, just outside the
station, on which he was trying
to steal a ride. The trainmen
picked him up and telephoned
police headquarters for an am
bulance. "What name did you
say% inquired the Captain.
"Don't know" answered the
switchman, "the man is uncon-
scious."
"Any papers or him by
which you can identify him."
"Not a thing" answered back
the switchman.
"Does he belong to any lodge
or union?" inquired the Cap
tain. "Just a minute, I'll take
a look," the trainman answered
hurriedly. In a moment he
sang out:
"Hello, Captain. Yes; he's a
Lady Maccabee."
The western traffic has been
very heavy this fall. Number
3, the California train has
been running in two sections
for several days and all of the
cars are filled. Good crops
make good times for the rail
roads as we'll as anyone else.

Greeks Leaving

Three of the Greek section
men leave for New York this
evening and from there will go
to Greece to fight the Turks.
There are about twenty-seven
on the sections in this city and
the section foreman stated this
afternoon that all of them ex-
pected togo Immediately after
pay dayi.sand sooner if they
were needed. The Greeks all
over the country are hurrying
back to their country to help it
in time of war. One of the
men who leaves tonight drew
his savings from a local bank
which amounted to over $4,000.
They all say they they will
come back to this country after
the war is over. Such patriot
ism cannot be but commended.

If all of the Greeks leave the
country to fight in the present
war the section gangs on the
railroads of this country will be
badly in need of help. The
majority of the help on the
sections is foreign.

M. B. Pitt, republican candi-

here today letting the people
know he was still on earth.
Mr.. Pitt is the right man for

We predict that when the ma

Did you ever see it so quiet
a presidential year? Either all
the voters have their minds
made up or else they are letting
the other fellow do the talking
and trying to make up their
minds. Usually a person can
get up an argument without
the least provocatioa but this
year if a good old political arg
ument were to take place all
the police reserves would be
called out thinking it was a riot
There is something in the air
which is causing the politicians
considerable worry.

After the Payne Aldrich tar
riff bill was passed and the Win
ona speech was made, it became
a mortal cinch that Mr.. Taft
could not be re- elected in 1912
This fact was emphasized at the
Congressional elections of 1910
Wherever the voters had a fair
chance at primaries last spring
it became evident that the wea-
kness of Mr.. Taft was almost
spectacular. All the straw vot-
es and newspaper polls and non
partisan canvasses up to this
moment prove that the temper
of the voters has not changed
When we get up on the morning
after election and survey the
blasted remnants of what once
was the Republican patty organ
ization, let no one blame the
Bull Moosers. The downfall
was foreordained while the Col
onel was still banging away at
the hippopotami. Mr.. Taft was
defeated, third party or no thi-
I'd party, when the returns
came in two years ago. The
men really responsible for the
disruption of the party are
those who will be found buried
in the ruins They will be in Co
ntroll of the premises, accord
ing to their desires The Progr-
essives will be on a hill top alb
out two miles distant, still sin
