They Celebrated.

The usual Halloween pranks
were played about town last
Thursday night and amused some
who escaped the antics of the
spooks.
Coming down town early in
the morning of the aforemen-
toned night, a counter was seen
in front of the Marr's restaurant,
placed closely against the front
door and behind the counter Was
a sheep and two hogs belonging
to Mr.. Marr. His hog pen was
down in front of Cahill & Wells
and their delivering wagon was
inside the pen. A closet was
also in front of the Marr restau-

Old Trusty.

The freeborn citisen gets up when dew
10 on the grass
And sees himself reflected in q trust
made looking glass.
A trust controls the soap he hnds at
length upon the stand.
And through the favor Of some trust he
takes his comb in hand.
His shoes. suspenders. shirt and socks,
the buttons on his coat.
His handkerchief his necktie and the col
lar round his throat
All came from factories that trusts per-
nit to operate;
A trust allows him to have coal to pile
upon the crate.
BY yielding to the sugar trust ne makes
his coffee sweet:
BY bowing to the beef trust he may have
steak to eat:
The cracker trust. the flour trust, the
coffee trust. likewise.
Take tribute from the man who dwells
where freedoms banner flies.
He rises from the table which a trust
leaves In his care
And on the trust made hail tree finds a
trust made hat to wear.
Now see the freeborn citizen upon the
trust owned car:
BY paying tribute he may ride to where
his duties are.
He sits before trust made desk-a trust
has said he may
And, being free and equal. he tolls for
the trust all day;
At night trust provides his light, and
when his prayers are said
The uncrowned king devoutly kueels be-
side a trust made bed.
Thus all his trusts bound up in trusts
that treat him as they please.
He lives through favor of the trusts; to
them he bends his knees.
All, let US trust that when he dies and
leaves this world Of care
Some trust will watt him to the skies
and give him glory there.

CAPITAL JOTTlNGS.

The navy department is bowling to
the Signal Corps, which has announced
that aeroplanes can be used for the
purpose of discovering the whereabouts
and movements of submarines. 1t is
said that experiments at Annapolis
have developed the fact that the oper-
ators in the air craft can discover the
presence of the under water terrors
without glasses, although they may
be at considerable depth. This. in the
opinion of naval officials, may advance
the plan of having aeroplanes as a
part of the equipment of all the fight
ing craft in the United States navy.
With a view to increasing the eff
cheney of the Marine Corps, Major
General William p. Bddle, command
ant of the organization has recon-
mended that the officers of the corps
be trained at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. His recent recommendation
urged that such officers have training
in the academy on the ground that it
would serve 10 increase the efficiency
of the service. 1t is also recommended
by General Biddle that civilian APP
pointees shall be between the ages of
10 and % years.
Acting on the advice of the attorney
general and of the judge advocate gem
eral of the army. the secretary of war
has directed that General Edward j.
McClernand, on his statutory retire
ment as general, next Sunday, shall
be retired with the status of a brig
adler general of the line. General Nc
Clernand is at present at the head of
a board OF cavalry officers which is
inspecting foreign military establish
ments. He was appointed brigadier
general by President Taft bur, owing
to the failure of the Senate TO act up
on the nomination, must be retired.

Holiday Mail
Handled Easily,

Washington, Dec. 26.-Although the
Holiday mail is heavier in practically
every section of the country than ever
before. the work of handling it was
performed with less congestion and
confusion than in previous years, ae-
cordng to reports received, today, by
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
Slight Interruptions were reported in
few sections of the country on ac-
count of weather conditions, but aside
from that there was at no point in
the service any congestion of the mails
which was not thoroughly under con-
troll Of the officers
A larger force than usual was put
on, this year. to handle the Christmas
mail, in order that the capacity of the
service could be tested in anticipation
of the establishment of the parcels
post system, which will become opera
tive throughout the service, Jan. /.
The reports made to Mr.. Hitchcock
show that Holiday mail was delivered
early, Christmas day, and conditions
were generally normal throughout the
service, on Christmas night.
