MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far in His
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved His Un1oing.

An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a fig tree on which were two
figs just ripening. His favorites we're
figs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma
turity.
Shortly after. he me- his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs. the gardener sent his
little boy of with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and.
removing the leaves. gazed upon the
tempting fruit.
The attraction was too great; he ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand.
On being asked If the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after a mo
ment's silence, answered: Il ate one"
You ate one? How?" exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily. How did you
come to do that?"
Dropping his eyes to the basket. Il
took 1t like this" said the child, taking
the remaining fig, "and ! ate 1t like
this
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second fig before the
astonished eyes of the old gentleman.

Wets Fail to Make Steel Trust
City Wet

indianapolis, Ind, February. = The
house bill for the purpose of validat-
ing license for 100 saloons in Gary,
whose proprietors had kicked them
selves out of business by refusing to
pay the city license fee in full, has
been indefinitely postponed by the
house. At public hearing on the
measure, Attorney w. H. Matthew,
of Gary, told the committee that of
the 1913 saloons there, all but a score
are owned by foreign brewing COM
panies, and that the alleged proprie-
tors are changed whenever the brew
ers see fit. This information decided
the committee on postponing the bill
indefinitely. This means that 100 sa-
loonists in Gary cannot legally carry
on the business, and there will be but
Twenty-Five. Under the Proctor law
only eight more can be added, making
the total number which the city can
have thirty-seven.
The bill by which Gary would be
raised out of its class and so would
be entitled to increase its number of
saloons has been killed. A bill has been
introduced, aimed at blind tiger drug
stores. Another measure prohibits
mayors and police judges from ap-
pearing in behalf of persons applying
for liquor licenses.

Drastic Prohibition Measure
Passes Arkansas Legislature

Little Rock, Ark, February Io-In
the presence of large concourse OF
people the house today passed senate
bill No. II8, the effect of which, it is
said, will be to practically inaugurate
statewide Prohibition, with only
twenty-one members voting against it.
The passage of the bill brought
forth a round of cheers from the gal
lery, where many of the Prohibition
leaders had secured seats, in which the
majority of members joined.
The bill provides that no license
shall Re issued to saloonkeeper in
any municipality except on petition Of
a majority of the adult whites of said
city The bill provides further that
said petition, together with the names
and addresses signed thereto, shall be
published in at least two issues of the
newspaper in the town or city where
license is sought. The bill eliminates
negroes, but includes white men on
the petition, and the fact that the
names are to be published is said to
have deterrent effect upon some who
might otherwise sign such a petition
All kinds of reports are in circula-
ton tonight as to what action Cover

votes in the senate to pass over the
veto. When the measure passed the
senate eleven senators voted against it
and twenty-five for the bill.
The test votes that had recently
been made in the senate and house on
the Prohibition question have caused
much alarm throughout the state by

Attempt to License Saloons in
South Carolina

Columbia. S. c., February. = The
South Carolina house of representa-
tives has passed a measure which
many believe will operate as an open
ing wedge for barrooms. The bill
permits retail and wholesale license
and retains the beer and bottling priv
ileges on graduated scale, based on
the number of barrels bottled. The
argument in favor of the bill was
that the dispensary law of the state
is open and fagrantly violated to such
an extent that there should be "regu-
lated" saloons in Charleston.
You say your husband contributes
nothing to your support" said the
lawyer.
No, sub, nary a cent. That niggah
jest materially won't work. An he's
done got plenty of debility, too, if he
only could use it."-Judge.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Dec. 27.--This city wants to
establish claim to being the residence
at tho present time Of q man who was
in at the beginning or birth Of the re-
publican party. 1t Is generally conced-
ed that at jackson. Mich. in the year
1854 the republican party was In reality
born. Stephen Whited, now a resident
Of Eldora, but at that time living in the
little town Of F1owerfield, st. Joseph
county, Michigan, was q delegate to the
county convention which selected del
egates to the state convention which.
on July s. 1854, met at Jackson and
formulated a platform. the wording OF
which was later adopted by the national
convention that nominated Abraham
Lincoln for president OF the United
States. In the year 1855 Mr.. Whited
came to Iowa and Is now In his eighty
fifth year. Another distinction In Mr.
Whited's life worthy of reproduction is
the fact that he Is one OF the few men
now living who voted for Gen. John G.
Fremont in 1856. Mr.. Whited served
for six years as auditor OF Hardin
county being the third man to hold this
position after the office was created. AS
auditor he had to do largely with the
discovery of the defalcation of his pre-
decessor and little later with the de-
falcation Of the then county treasurer.
Tho in his S5th year. not a day passes
that he is not seen at his office as jus
tice Of the peace and no man ever tried
in Justice Whiteds court can truth
fully say that the Squire" did not give
him square deal. Mr. Whited has
/ ever been temperate in his habits, never
using liquor, tobacco. coffee or tea. He
/! is recognized as authority on political.

Skill in Frying Potatoes.

Skin IN Frying POTATOES.
A contest in frying potatoes in the
French manner was held a few days
ago at Billancourt. near Paris. There
were IL entrants. nearly all drawn
from the class OF fried potato mer-
chants" whose hand carts laden with
kettles of savory grease are sights so
common in the French capital, where
for three or four cents one may buy a
brown paper cornucopia full OF hot
French friend potatoes. just as one
may buy popcorn and peanuts in
America The height Of art is said to
have been shown at the contest. High
est honors went to a white-aproned
expert called Jeauneau. His potatoes,
it was decreed, were cut just the right
size, were dipped from the grease at
exactly the moment when they had at.
tanned crispness without losing their
moist succulency and were finished
of with exactly the proper quantity
of salt. Certainly" exclaimed the
victorious Jeauneau. sagely; 1T takes
as much skill to fry potatoes In grease
as to paint pictures in oils"

SENATOR KENYON AROUSED.
Inroads Of Democrats on Civil Service
to Be Aired in Senate.


to Be Aired in Senate.
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Ken
yon will make a fight against the plan
Of democratic leaders to remove assist
ant postmasters from the civil service.
A provision to this effectf has been put
into the postoff1ce bill in the house
committee on postoffices. 1t is in
tended to open the way 10 wholesale
appointments of democrats to the as
sistant postmasterships without refer
ence to the civil service. Many pro-
tests are cunning II against IT. not only
from Iowa, but other states. and Sena-
tor Kenyon is one of the senators who
will endeavor to have 1t stricken from
the bill.
The attempt to remove assistant
postmasters from civil service follows
closely the removal Of deputy mar
shals and deputy collectors from the
civil service. Moreover.~there was a
remarkable disclosure here concerning
the way the civil service is being over
ridden in the government printing Of
flee. Since July there have been
thirty one demotions, all republicans.
This will be aired on the floor Of the
senate, so indicative Is it that the gov
eminent printing office is being politi-
cally organized.
One of the demotions is that OF L. D.
Brandon. assistant foreman. an Iowa
man He is republican and has been
reduced from $2,700 to $500. Another
is w. Rebuschatis, reader Of Des
Moines, reduced from s1,75O to $1,000.
