THERE were two weary children waiting for daddy one night.
"Tiredr asked daddy Is he put ar arm around each Of them

Teddy Tonpkins said he was tired, too" daddy remarked. Teddy rot
the most gorgeous toys at Christmas Then on New Years day his kind aunts
and unCes sent him more
Teddy was very fond OF the little red drum. Santa had brought It,
1.-THE FIRST thing he thought Of when he got up In the morning was the red
drum. He would hop out Of bed in his little white nighue and I'm to St IT
Then he would pound out a rousdng solo with his drunsHcks. Folks who
wanted to sleep just couldn't and q morning mar is sweet
Grandpa, who had helped Santa Claus to get that very drum, son morn

begged him to let the drum alone until after they all had their breakfast
There was q Little boy next door to whom Santa had brought a toy bugie.
and 1t was a sight TO see the two boys paradtng In their yards. one beating his
drum and the other blowing his bugIe. xs @#### #&##5

The next day Aunt Marie came to spend the day She always brought

INTEREST ON GOV. FUNDS.

While considering a bill having for its
object the stopping of loans to banks
without interest, the house committee
on treasury expenditures was the re-
cipicnt of a report from the treasury
department showing that since 1886
more than $4,000, 100000 has been
placed. free of charge by the govern
ment with banks, some loans cover
ing a long period. Even at the rate
of . per cent per annum it is calcu-
lated that over $4,000, 900 has been
thrown way by this custom. The
bill now pending aims to authorize
the depositlng of surplus government
funds in banks at interest.
Instead. of the average cash balance
for the past twenty-six years of $780,
600, 600, there was no need for more
than one-tenth of this amount. The
remainder could have been put out at
interest, both earning an increment
for the government and giving aid to
legitimate business. The money would
be loaned to the highest responsible
bidder, instead of being handed out
to favored Wall street institutions.
The proposed law is a good business
proposition, and unless it conflicts
with the general monetary reform
programme, has much to commend it.

oRPHEUM WEEK, JAN, s. !

An excellent little sketch of much
~pretenttons will head Manager FoW-
lers company at the Orpheum for the
week of Jan. 6. and 1t should provide
a great cal of pleasure for all who
attend, and should fill the house.
Helen Ptngree g. Co. will produce the
sterling little comedy The Girl and
the Coach, which is filed with good
things, in which a most capable com
pany takes part. Others on the pro-
graInme for the first half of the week
are Miss Evelyn Dare, the pleasing
Fargo novelty singer; Billy Cole, who
does a very clever V~entriloquil and
mimic turn that is always catching:
Elmore & Washburn, who have a new
n most fascinating singing, talking
n whistling turn and Fletcher &
Hamburg, who have a bunch of no l.
sense that is intended to, and does
produce much laughter.
For the last half of the week
another sketch, full of comedy, Man
proposes; Woman Disposes, will be
the headliner, and it is one that will
be proposed by Ollie Eaton and com
petent company that will be sure to
please. 1t is a fine act that goes well
In the east. Other big acts on the
bill are Williams & Sterling in
comedy, singing AMI talking, that will
chase away the blues; Evelyn Dare
In another of her new songs; Frank
Cotter, an equilbrist who does many
great feats, and Charles and Agnes
Lotus in their own comedy sketch,
which is a laugh provoker, A Reno
Divorce Case. All shows will omen
and close with the great Orpheum-
} scope moving pictures and Professor
Coscio's orchestra, making a very
fine weeks bill.

business Is that there is any number
OF men and women who do not know
that matrimony is IN individualistic
and not a cooperative affair, and that
its trials and joys are the result of
personal and not communal factors.
The S5,0O0-a-year girls will, in the
course of time, according to their OPP
portunities, marry Tom, Dick and
Harry, with variable incomes and no
incomes at all. The stern band Of re-
proving young men will likewise take
their chances with fate, for better or for
worse, And in the end. after a few
years experience, men and girls win
look back on their past and marvel at
the madness that obsessed them in
the days Of their cock-sure youth.

CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE ARMY.

1t is altogether probable that when
viii appoint a successor to General
Wood as chief of staff Of the army.
General Wood was appointed chief of
staff Dec. Is, 1909. The term Of office
is fixed by law at four years. But
a paragraph OF the army regulations,
designed doubtless to relieve an in
coming president of any embarrass-
ment, prescribes that the detail of
the chief of staff shall end with the
term OF the president who appointed
him.
There are strong probabilities that
the new president will not reappoint
General Wood, Notwithstanding the
splendid record which the chief of
staff has made and the confidence
which the army has acquired in his
executive ability. The last previous
session Of congress showed that there
was a strong political opposition to
him among the democratic leaders Of
the house. Indeed, a serious attempt
was made to legislate him out of Of
hce, through a rider which was at
tached to the army appropriation bill
in conference.
President Taft vetoed that bill on
account Of this particular rider and
others. In Difference to the demands
OF HIS party friends, it is altogether
probable that MI. Wilson will make
q different appointment.
Tho appointment will doubtless 20
to either Maj. Gen. Thomas Barry or
Maj. Gen, Arthur Murray. General
Murray is the logical successor. He is
the present chief of the coast artillery.
the arm of the service which is the
chief reliance OF the country in a
or foreign war, with a possible at
tempt OF invasion OF Americas shores.
he has made a splendid reputation
with the army, with the public and
with congress in that capacity. He
was a leading candidate fer chief of
star when the appointment vent to
General Wood. One large element OF
strength for his candidacy lies in The
fact that it Is believed that he is bet
ter qualified than almost any other
man Ia the army to heal the breach
between congress and the war de-
partErent and to restore the neces-
Sary harmonious relations between
them.

MATRIMONIAL CLUBS.

Whenever men and women fall into
a particularly idiotic frame of mind
they turn instinctively to an organiza-
ton, the formation of some club or
league, where their combined Stiffness
may grow and prosper by intimate
association. Recently a body of
Young women In Chicago formed a
club. the membership of which was
made up Of girls who promised not
TO marry any man with on income Of
less than $4,000 a year.
That is club No. / and is bad

men who band themselves together
with the pledge not to marry N Of
these girls. And so Chicago has two
merry little combinations in restraint
