GETTING ON AND
OFF WATER WAGON

In the January American Magazine
Abe Martin, the celebrated Indiana
funny man, writes q piece about New
Y ears resolutions. Following is an
extract:
Sometimes when a Teller who kin

back over the year jest closin and
sums up all the things he's done or
undone, all the energy and the money
he's wasted and all the things he's
missed or neglected in that regretted
time, the past looms up like n piece
of tar soap. Then he quietly resolves
to bid goodbye to the social cup on
New Years Day, little dreamin' Of
the colossal struggle Jest around the
corner.
The Teller who has long been used
to fortifyin' himself with a stimulant
on every occasion has purity tough
sleddin fer while after he swears
off. There's the ordeal OF buying a
new hat or attendin' banquet. The
Teller who kin drink or leave It alone

he'll often train fer weeks when
there's a banquet ahead. Sometimes

dress on The Weddin' of the Oceans

But how feller's whole style Of
pitchin' changes when he once gifts

FARMERS WANT SCHOOLS TO
GIVE SHOOTING COURSE

Almost co-incident with the move
ment started by the National Rife
Association to conduct shooting tour
naments in the public schools of the
larger cities of the United States,
comes a demand from the Racine
county Wisconsin Farmers Protective
Association for a shooting gallery in
every school. The farmers insist that
city boys and girls, especially, need
to be taught how to handle fire arms
intelligent'y and will petition the next
legislature to order an adequate train
ing in every city school in WISCONSIN.
The Association numbers about one
thousand representative Racine coun-
ty farmers They assert that most
hunting accidents are directly attrib-
utable to reckless handling of guns
by persons who are ignorant Of their
proper use.

CHRISTMAS STORY

Heaps of newly fallen snow lay
upon the ground and as the moon
beams rays shone down 1t glistened
and made fields of diamonds.
The threaded wires were pure sill
yer tinsel. All the huge world was
glistening Christmas tree. The air
was very quiet for all the world was
listening for the clatter of hoofs and
sharp lashing bells, and gay notes OF
the little fire clad driver. One huge
star winked down and kept faithful
watch. All at once the air seemed
stirred, did l hear him or is 1t my
fancy? So nearer and nearer on the
crisp air 1t came, as the slender legs
OF the reindeer sped like lightning.
There tucked amid thousands Of gifts
sat the white haired driver. With his
whip curling far back over his Shout
der. With a great tramp they stop
ped. And out hoped Santa the cutest
little fellow. A word Of cheer he gave
to the RENDERS and away they tug
ged his huge pack Of gifts.
"Ah!" he exclaimed. 81 remember
well year ago tonight" And he
gave a gay whistle. And then he hush.
ed himself. as quickly as it began.
Should / awake those four pairs
of eyes that do not sleep so soundly,
! should never get my world wide
task completed for they should keep
me here all night. BY this the four
stockings We're brim full and across
the wreath OF holly lie left his hearty
Christmas wish to ali and out again
he sailed. Just as the four bright eyes
rushed in.
1--WE thought we heard him come
in" the voice of one, and so We came
to see" But Santa Is very clever.
No boy or girl has ever found him at
his task yet,
Merry Christmas to all" they heard
him say again, as he flew away, ami
they ran to see. But he was carried
far away, he leaves other stockings
full and a merry Christmas wish ev-
erywhere. e. WESLEY SCHAUB.

Young SPOTS 10 In Fine Form

Veteran trap shooters looked on IN
wonder as Ralph K. SPOTS. fourteen
year old son of Ralph l.. SPOTS, club
champion, scored 1875 clay pigeons out
of a total of $50 sprung for him and
won Ave OF the eight events in the
Larchmont, N. Y, Yacht club shoot
Saturday. 1t was a performance the
average experienced expert could we'll
be proud Of. Beginning with the De-
cember Cup shoot young Ralph re-
turned full scores in five straight
events, and although forced into
shoot-offs won them all with several
points to spare. The boy then topped
all his efforts by scoring % straight
in the Accumulation Cup event for
the only perfect score Of the day.
The little fellow is scarcely as tall
as the gun he carries. but he is
stockily built chap who has accompan-
led his father on frequent wild duck
shooting trips, each with his own pet
gun and both shooting Remington
UMC shells as at the traps. This is
young Spots second season at the
traps. He has been improving in ev-
cry shoot, but nobody was prepared
for the remarkably fine showing made
Saturday.
Ralph L. SPOTS. father Of the
young man whose future as trap
shooter seems SO bright and who was
out shot by his son for the first time
Saturday, was member Of the vic
torious American Trap Shooting Team
at the Olympic Games. He firmly be-
lieves that every boy should learn the
use of arms and ammunition as part
OF his life equipment.
81 do not believe that closer obser-
vance OF the laws Of pure. clean sport
can be found anywhere than among
trap shooters, M. Spots ST., said In
answer to the reporters inquiry.
At the traps. continued Mr.. SPOTS
Every man stands on his own merits
and is so judged. Crookedness is Sc
verely condemned and the square deal
is exalted. This is good atmosphere
fol boy to get into just as he Is
forming ideals. II he learns only the
principles Of fairness and how to take
a beating and give one with equal
grace 1T would seem to me to be well
worth while.
Then, too, boy should be taught
to handle arms and ammunition intel
ligently, not only that he may not get
on the didn't know 1t was loaded
list but that he may acquire the
Quickness and steadiness of hand and
eye, the poise and control and the
many other benefits that come to the
trained shooter.

WILSON EXTENDS
OLIVE BRANCH
TO The SENATE
Tells Newspapermen He's More
Interested in Larger Affairs
Than in Patronage
Fights
BY JOHN EDWIN HEVIN.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. a.
President Wilson today extended the
olive branch to the senate. He took
occasion, I'm discussing various re
ports OF friction between himself and
the senate, TO defend It's rights to re-
ject any and all nominations that he
may send in. But he declined 10
outline his plans for dealing With sucn
nominations as are rejected or TO say
whether he would change his present
plan of standing by such nominees.
The president declared he had
learned with interest from newspa-
pcrs that the senate had declared war
on him because of certain nomina-
lions. lie said he was far more in
terested In the larger affairs of gov
eminent than In patronage.
The success OF the administration,
IN his opinion. did not depend on
patronage. lie stated that so long as
he holds this opinion there can be no
fight with the senate Speculation on
what he would or would not do, the
president said. seemed To be a fav.
orite plan With certain newspapers.
He did not object TO this. he said. as
IL usually showed him what IL was
best not TO do.
When asked whether he would send
in other names TO replace those al.

dazzling In their cleanliness. Fully
500 persons were waiting there, but
there was absolutely no confusion. A
guard, who looked as though he would
were badly needed, went up To each
person, asked him which train he
wanted and told him which track II
would come I'm on.
Then sign was suddenly displayed
at the end of the platform. The sign
read that the first train that passed
on the right hand side OF the platform
was military train bearing wounded
from Belgium 90 Berlin, but that the
public express for Berlin would follow
n within five minutes.
Immediately from three small rooms
built on the platform battalions. II
seemed 10 me, OF white-capped nurses
appeared bearing baskets in which
were materials for bandages, walls OF
medicines. bottles OF liniment and
TASKS of brandy.
Behind them came several groups
of women carrying baskets OF sand
wiches and hot mullins and pals OF
hot coffee. AS the train rolled in, the
nurses at once stepped In to treat the
wounded soldiers.
Most OF the men, II seemed, were
lightly wounded and they stuck their
heads out OF windows and called for
food and coffee. The people cheered
them. they cheered back and laughed
and joked with the girls who handed
them the food. Everyone was very
jolly.
The older men on the platform
stepped up and asked the soldiers how
things looked at the front. Gut!
Sehr gut" was the reply. always
and their voices rang true.
The spectacle | saw enacted on this
platform is absolutely typical of the
Germany OF today. Everything there
is moving just notch or two better
than it is in England and several
notches better--to be kind-than II is
in France. There is no hysteria there
is no lack OF confidence in soldiers or
civilians; there Is no lack OF food I:
no lack of money and every detail OF
comfort for the fighters has been ar
ranged.

Those We're the first words | heard

The girl spoke them in clear joyous
tones. and his ia, ia" was just as

The spirit OF jubilation with which
these people talked struck me like a
spray OF cold rain. l had been In
London ten weeks and nourlshed eX-
clusivsly on English war news and
ii had concluded that Germany was
starving, that Germany was disillus-
toned and that tragic accents were
the only ones in use in the kaiser's
empire.
But | came later 10 know that this
spirit of jubilation Is the spirit of all

what IL has already done with its AZ

The train had wound its way
through Holland, past long dykes.
across smooth canals, through quaint
villages where Dutch girls with Wild
rose cheeks and white starched bon
nets sold milk-chocolate and coffee
for eight weary hours.
Then suddenly il halted in the pre-
else center OF vast, dark field.

compartment and way up the track

out OF compartments almost as fast
as the guardsman with the lantern

across the German frontier.

And eight bayonets pointed to my
