CORNER ON BUTTER
100000 Pounds Held By Syn

Upon Investigation by Secret Serv'
ice Agents, Government Starts
Suit Against Alleged Pool.

Chicago-Loot amounting to be-
tween Sill, 700, 900 and SIT, $50, 900
may be pilfered from butter users in
the United States in the next few
months.
More than III, 900 pounds of
butter, amounting practically to an
absolute corner in the commodity, is
held in cold storage. Prices inflated
to from 10 to Is cents a pound above
normal will be asked for this butter.
Most of the loot will be divided among
a small ring of men, including several
beef packers, according to reports in
the hands of the Federal authorities.
The suit which was filed in the
United States District court in Chi
cago on Saturday, to dissolve the al
legged "butter trust" had for its OBJ
ject the solution of these two riddles.
Whether the men and concerns named
in the suit are the ones to whom the
easy millions were to go has not beer
said openly, but it is known that the
action was brought as the direct result
of the activities of score or more Of

JuL-BoK Furnishes CHILDREN
II Appears In Denmark on Christmas
Eve and Hunts Down Naughty
Boys and Girls.

1t Is on Christmas eve in Denmark
that the fearful jul-bok, or klapper-
box, appears. The village folk come
out to see what the row is about,
and, as they know beforehand, they
find the streets crowded with excited
young people driven hither and thith-
err, by great. awesome beast The
creature is very tall, and his body Is
thin while his great head is all abris-
tie with goat skin This is jul-bok,
the terrible julbok- Should any child
have been naughty through the year,
the jul-bok finds him OF and hunts
him down, poking him viciously with
his great strong Lead. There are three
young men near the jul-bok. One
pulls a string that opens his great
Tapping jaw, another holds the long
stick that forms his body, and the
third rides him. What does 1t matter.
though the same performance is gone
through every year, These simple
folk do not forever clamor for some
thing new as the American boys and
girls do. The jul-bok is a perennial
Joy.

On Board Steamship Bermudian-
President-elect Wilson and his party
encountered squally weather during
the first few hours of their trip out
from Hamilton. AS the Bermudian
passed out of the shelter of the Ham
ilton harbor, she entered a rough sea
that kept the vessel rolling for several
hours after the Bermuda reefs were
passed. The president-elect exper-
fenced no inconvenience. Instead OF
finding shelter "down below" he
paced the decks or chatted with
friends in the smoking room.
