Tho Box Appreciated.

Battle Creek, Neb., Dec. 27.-Editor
of the News: 1t is strange to note the
difference between men and their diff
ference in doing things. Like shoot
ers at the target, some never ring the
bell, some never think about trying
to ring 1t, some would try If they
knew how, and then there are the very
few who hit the mark most every
time. 1t just seems easy for them,
and one of these fine men is Commits
sioner Taft of Norfolk 1t appears to
be as easy for him to be Johnnie on
the spot as it does for mud turtle to
roll off log, and so when on Christ
mas he sent the five inmates at the
county poor farm and the stewards
family a box Of several kinds of fruits
and other gifts of remembrance,
which were highly appreciated, he
again hit the target plumb center"
May his shadow never grow less.

Business Suffered

Kansas City Mo-, Dec 2S.-Mrs.
Harry Wadron, wife of Harry Wal,
dron, the juror who stopped tho Hyde
trial by escaping from the sleeping
room of the jury at the Centropolis

of their little home at 1910 Chestnut

her face, told of the misfortunes which
have overtaken them since the day
her husband was chosen one of the
panel of forty-seven.
The little dairy which has been the
only means of support for the family
of seven became so involved in debt
during the absence Of Waldron on the
jury that now they are in danger Of
losing it.
IF we lose our business" said Mrs.
Waldron, Il don't know what will be-
come of us. Mr.. Waldron has been un.
able to work since he returned home,
and | alone cannot support my five
children by working. We were get
ting along fine before my husband
was chosen for the jury. After he
left things began to go backward, for
| could not do all the work alone. We
could not afford to hire man, so |
had to look out for the stock, do the
milking and attend to the children.
We hired a boy to drive the wagon,
and the money Mr.. Waldron received
for jury service went to pay the boy.
We still owe him $40.

material in the presentation of its

HERE'S WHY MEN GO WRONG.
Pressure from Collar Buttons Is Re.
sponsibIe, Dr.. Walker SAYS.

Washington, Dec 2S.-Naturally it
took a woman to find out what is
wrong with the men. Too many of
them are going to those institutions
where keepers prevent them from be-
ing too rough on themselves while
they are trying to fly across the
padded cell in an imaginary multi
plane Of their own invention. And the
insanity is caused by whisky? Wrong.
Cigarettes? Wrong again Just col
lar buttons.
All this on the authority of DR..
Mary Walker, the exponent of trous-
ers for women The interviewer re-
marked that DR.. Walker was quite
right. Hunting collar buttons was
enough to drive any man to Mattea-
wan. And, just like man, he had
missed the significance of her state
ment. She FASTENED to explain that
it was the pressure of the buttons 90
delicate nerve centers that drove men
insane.
Now DR.. Walker has a mission even
more important than that of Josiah
| Aliens wife, who called on the presi-
lent in the interest of the eternal well
fare of her self-retiring spouse. She
is here to interest President Taft in
her campaign and also to obtain, il
possible, his Endorsement of her eff

adopt the attire of man-minus the

of fashion plates and has been con

SAY RUSSIA'S INTERFERING.
Russia, It Is Said, Wants to Secure It
for Buffer State.

TOT buIIcT Stdtc.
Tien Tsin, Dec. EFT is asserted
by members of the suite of the amban
(or governor) of Mongolia that Rus.
sian completely at Urga, capital Of
Mongolia, is responsible for the vir-
tual domination Of Manchuria by the
Japanese. The charge is made in the
same quarters that the Russian mill
tary consul at Urga has been pursuing
the same policy in Mongolia as was
formerly carried out in Afghanistan,
with the purpose Of making Mongolia
buffer state and preventing the Jap
anese from expanding beyond Mukden
in Manchuria.
Lieut.. Gen. Horvat, in command of
the Russian troops at Hardin, has re-
peatedly denied that Russia has ul-
terror aims in Mongolia, but admits
that Russia needs a buffer state in
that region in the same way as Az
ghanistan serves as buffer state on
the northwestern frontier of India.

MORE DATA ON BIRTHS,
New Form of Statistics Will Be Used
in Nebraska After Ian. 4


After Jan. 1 Nebraska physicians
will have as much history to record in
connection with the birth of a child
as they do now with the history of
person who dies. Heretofore when a
child was born the physician had only
to fill out a small postal card, which
was forwarded to the local registrar
within twenty-four hours after the
birth. After Jan. the child born will
get history in the registrars office
as long as that Of a deceased person.
This new certificate of birth will
give the place, county, township, vii
lage or city of the birth, street and
ward number, sex, number in order
of birth, date, the fathers and moth
er's full names, residence. color, birth
place, age, occupation, and number of
children born to the parents. The full
name Of the child will also be included
in the blank. Besides all this, the ply
stefan has a certificate to sign on the
same blank. This blank is sent to the
state department of commerce and
labor, where it is bound in book form
and placed on file.
In sending out these new instruc-
lions the chief of the department says
that while now it is difficult to trace
a child who has fortune coming to
him by the old system, the new form
will greatly aid in the work.
"Twenty-one years is a long time"
says the chief, land sufficient in this
country to amass many fortunes. The
child who is born today in poverty
may, when reaching his majority, be
enabled to inherit fortune by being
in a position to give all legal facts
connected with his or her birth"
