"THE COCK THAT
,CRNWED TOO SOON"

: had been forecasted, Oscar W.
Irn6urwood, leader of the Democrat
i l:.rty in the House Of Represen-
tatlves, has triumphe;; in the prl-
merry election for Senator from Ara-
bang. His competitor, Representa-
i,c Richmond P. Hobson, accordins to
s94tches, failed to carry his own
Cgagressioral district.
Is. Underwood, without doubt, has
carried his state on his own personal
popularity, and not on the tolls issue.
as some prefer:to believe. He has for
some. time been one Of the bu!warks
Of the Democratic party, and at the
Baltimore convention his worth was
acknowledged, although at that time
the majority of the representatives OF
the organization preferred for Presl-
dent Woodrow Wilson, who has shown
his ability at the helm of the ship
of State.
The result of the election in Ala
bama- will cast a shadow over Hob
sons aspirations for the Presidential
chair. 1t will be remembered that
several days ago he expressed himself
as confident Of winning in the senate
rial fight in Alabama, and that IN
1916 he would be the candidate OF
progressive Democrats for President.
Hobson is a comparatively young
mhn and has plenty of time to de-
velop if the vital element Of states
manship is in him, but Mr.. Under
wood has already won his spurs, an;

Democrats throughout the country

Six Jacks Too Many

In early days Pendleton was some
thing of a wide open town. That is
to say there were saloons every Is or
20 feet and the only bar to gambling
was a shortage of kale or nerve Ev-
erybody was doing it, 1t was the
fashion of the day. Not infrequently
there was a shooting or something
else equally as entertaining. Anyone
who has lived in Pendleton for a
quarter of century or more can re-
late yarns by the hour that are very
enlightening to a tenderfoot.
Arthur Gibson, local contractor,
who superintended the building of
Happy Canyon" has been here for
many years and. while the general
committee on the evening entertain
ment was threshing out the plans one
evening, he narrated little Incl
dent that had both the elements of
comedy and tragedy.

Rene Viviiani

Rene Viviani, the present prime
minister in France, was born in AL
geria. His success in French politics
has been due to his interest in labor.
When the office of minister OF labor
was created by the Clemenceau gov
ernment In 1906, he was the first
man to fill 1t. Although the next
government was of an opposing fac.
tion, NJ. Viviani still was kept at his
post In accordance with his labor
sympathies, he worked consistently
against the law providing for a COM
pulsory three-year period OF service
in the army. in favor of which the
country recently voted.
NJ. Vlviani is an able man, but his
strong points are not particularly war
and diplomacy.

Where there's whlteface cattle grow

Where the coyotes come a howln'

An the barnyard birds are singin' to
the lovely medder larks;
Where the cowbols an the cowgirls
an the Herefords do abound.
An the monstrous mountains watch

Where the steers are out a grain

Remarkable Coincidence

Lancaster, Pa, March IL. -
The birth today of twins, in both
cases a boy and a girl in the
home of Rev. Nathan d. Yerger.
of Rogerstown and Rev. Ebert
E. Lands, of this city. has called
attention to a series of life paral-
lels which are extraordinary.
Both ministers are Lutherans
and although they were born in
different ssections of the state
they have been friends from boy =
hood. They entered MuhIenberg
college at the same time and
we're roommates four years.
They were graduates in the same
class and were stationed in Luth-
eran churches in the same coun-
ty. They We're married on the
same day and the wedding trips
were taken together, Their
wives were girlhood friends al
though one is a native of Berks
county and the other of Bucks.
They entered tina Kutztown Nor
NAL school together and were
the close friends throughout their
residence at that school. Like
their husbands, both graduated
in the same class and both took
up the profession Of teaching
which they abandoned at the
same time to become brides.

Mans Body lncassd in Ice

Philadelphia. -Encased in @
solid cake of ice six feet long
and four feet thick, the body Of
a man believed to have been lost
in the blizzard Sunday, was found
on the bank of Wingohocking
Creek. Boys were playing near
the creek when one of them 70.
ticed the cake of ice.
The SUMS rays fell at such an
angle that the transparency Of
the cake was accumulated and
the body of the man could be
seen almost as plainly as il it
was enclosed in a casket made of
plate glass. The fact that the
hair of the man was red made
the spec ace the more grewsome
and unusual. Policemen with
axes chopped the ice from the
body and removed it to the NOR
que.
