the following: Bennett Convey, 20

Miss Fitch Keeps Her Place.

Frank Cumiskey, to be appointed
state oil inspector under the Hodges
administration to succeed Joseph L.
Longshore, today announced that he
would retain Miss Bertha Fitch as his
clerk and stenographer. Miss Fitch
is a Phillips county girl and has been
clerk and stenographer in the oil in
spector's office since the adjournment
of the 1911 legislative session.
The announcement of Cumiskey as
oil Inspector to succeed Longshore
was made public last week by Gov
ernor-elect Hodges through Hender-
son S. Martin as chairman of the
Democratic state central committee.
Cumiskey is one of the really strong
Democratic leaders in the Third dis
trict. He conducts a laundry and dye
works in Pittsburg. In the recent
campaign Cumiskey spent but little
time in the laundry. But he did some
mighty effective work in the Third
district His reward is the oil in
spectorship. Cumiskey is a good
man for the place, politicians claim.
and his name will be sent to the SEN
ate for confirmation early in the COM
ing session of the legislature.

The BIGGEST DAY.
Postmaster Rodgers Gives the Blue
Ribbon to Monday.

Monday was a record breaking day in
Topeka postoffice-certainly no
''Spugs" in Topeka; everybody was
sending gifts. The sale of stamps,
stamped envelopes, paper, etc, was ST.
100 more than it has ever been before
amounted to $5,161 in all, and there
are hardly $4,000 people in the city.
Everybody sent gifts-Christmas
sentiments and post cards, which ne
cessitated an enormous sale of green
One-cent stamps. Thousands upon
thousands of letters were mailed, and
packages of every description. Even
the department for registered mail,
which is usually as quiet as Sleepy
Hollow, was beset with a Christmas
buzz Lines as long as the lines in a
New York box office trailed before the
various windows. Boys rushed through
the corridors and hundreds of people
waited for their bundles to be weighed.
Nobody needed Postmaster Rodgers
lengthy warning of Mail your Christ
mas packages early" Everybody tied
up their presents the Sunday before the
twenty-fifth, and thronged to the post
office the following Monday. But there
was no confusion behind the scenes;
each clerk did his duty quickly and
quietly No disorder in the vast mail
ing rooms.
There never is" said Postmaster
Rodgers, proudly, 1.-THE force never gets
ratified. We had the biggest day we've
ever had, but, so far as I know, not a
mistake was made. I've got the best
boys in any office of the U. S. A.
Despite the rush of Christmas mail,
and crush of packages in the Topeka
office, Postmaster Rodgers has received
notice of only one bundle that
went astray. The package is being
held in Waynesberg, Pa, because of
an illegible address. The Waynesberg
postmaster writes to "a. K. Rodgers as
follows:
''First-class package mailed at your

address looks to me) was just received

from mother to Hazel, and from grand
mother to the several youngsters.
Cannot find an office of that name
in the United States. If you cannot
find correct address on receipt of your
letter package will be forwarded to the

If the sender of the bundle does not
notify the Topeka office at once, some
kiddie will be without his knitted cap

confession that once in his life, and
only once did he smoke.
1T was this way" he said. My
father was a smoker of some attain

he liked a fat black cigar. In his

That Koji Yamada, the Japanese
billiardist now in America, is destined
some day to win the 1872 ball&line bill
lard championship of the world is the
opinion of many American cue experts.
In the recent tournament in New York
Yamada won third honors, but since
then he appears to have picked up
many of the finger points of the game.
His defeat of Slosson and Morningstar
in Pittsburg during the past few days
indicates how dangerous he is.
Maurice DAILY, who regards Yamada
as a candidate for championship hon
ors, says of him: He has a lot to
learn, but he will get a lot from OBJ
servation and experience At present
he depends on his execution and lacks
system. When he becomes more meth
odicaI he will be the player most likely
to have the edge on Willie Hoppe for
the championship. lis temperament
seems to be an ideal one for billiard
PLAYER. If he is susceptible of any emo
zion his irnmobiIe countenance does not
betray it, Apparently all opponents

look alike to him.
George Slosson's opinion of the Jap
anese expert is: wait until he gets
the knack of nursing and nobody will
have any advantage over him"
Yamada is drawing big crowds in
every city where he appears. January
to IL, he and Slosson will be in Chi
cago- The following week they will be
at Charley Peterson's room in st. Louis.
Peterson wishes to arrange some three
cushion games between his protege,
Pierre Maupome, the Mexican, and the
visitors. ST. Louis people consider
Maupome a wonder at three cushions,
and believe he will have no difficulty
in beating the Jap.
Yamada has a good deal of conf
dence in his ability eventually to beat
all corners. When informed recently
that he would not have a chance to
play for the championship inside of
four months, he laughed as he said:
Good, good, 1 will then be in good
practice and make big average. If I
win, take emblem to Toxic"
