Storming of Copperfeld.

By Dean Collins in Oregonian.
There was sound of deviltry by
night,
And Copperfield was going on the
hum;
Gay was the court, if all reports are
right
That thronged the palaces of Demon
Rum;
They say the citizens were going
some,
And "Wine, red wine" they cried
with all their might,
Nor heard the rumble of the distant
drum.
The hours passed on. The town
awoke,
That bright scene was her last.
The wan-faced bouncers left their
jobs,
And screamed: "She comes, Miss
Hobbs, Miss Hobbs !"
They woke to see the joints they love,
Closed by the order of the Gov.
And saw his lady envoy shove
The Mayor his message grim;
"Duck while the duckling's good! I!
You re canned!
This present by my seal and hand
Will make you clearly understand
IF the militia takes a hand
Your chances will be slim"
The militia came down like a wolf
on the fold;
And it looked like the knell for the
Council had tolled,
Till it got into action to have the law
function
And flashed on the Colonel formal
injunction.
"The time may come" the Colonel
says,
10 talk OF all those things,
But now the law, IS dignity
Which round about it clings,
Must be respected duly"
And his voice with frmness rings
As he tears the courts injunction up
And down the fragments filings.
'Militiamen of Oregon,
Oh stubborn hearts of oak,
Don't finch but do your duty now,
Though you may have to croak,
We'll cram the Governor behest
Down the resister's throat
But what the dust is all about,
Is not quite clear to me.
Why are the files parading out
With bay nets fashin' freef
Hanged if l know" my soul did
shout
'But tbs a glorious victory"

Lillian Mortimer In BETSY Bobblns."
One of the most appealing shows
seen at the Hippodrome this year is
Betsy Bobbins," in which Lillian
Mortimer and her own company win
be seen at this theatre the latter half
OF the week. The show brings to
mind isis Hopkins" in which Rose
Melville made such wonderful sue
cess, although BETSY Bobbins" is in
no way an imitator of the other show,
nor does Lillian Mortimer at any time
initiate Rose Melville. The scene Of
the play is laid at an old farm In
New England where Betsy, whose
relatives are all dead, is living with
Uncle Bob. Still wild young ami
NAL, devoid of any kind of education,
she meets billie" who is John III.
Sewell when not on the stage. Billie
and Betsy are at once attracted to
each other to the great betterment of
both. 1t is through the influence of
Billie that Betsy takes up the task of
learning to read and write.
While this friendship is progressing

getting Uncle Bob to turn Jess, Uncle
Bob's niece, and whom Blake had for

NEW SCHOOL RULES
HAVE BEEN PRINTED
Regulations for Governing Board and
Employees Adopted Two
Months Ago.

The new rules and regulations OF
the board of education for the govern
ment of the board and its employees in
keokuk have been issued The rules
were adopted at the November meet
ing of the board and have been print
ed and bound into convenient form.
The rules are completely revised and
brought up-to-date The committee in
charge of the work consists of Presi-
dent Hughes, and Members Tucker,
Lutz and Dunlap.
The rules are so made that they
will be good for the future as well as
the present and will not be affected
by changes in the state law. The old
rules which were made ten years ago
had this fault, and they we're also
not up-to-date.
The biggest change in the rifles is
that providing for the election Of a
vice president of the board. In the
past 1t has been the custom, always.
to elect a president pro tenn when the
president of the board was absent.
Under the revised rules, the vice presi-
dent is named along with the other
officers.
The new code is divided into rules
for the government of the board, and
regulations by which the board may
govern it's employees.

WOMEN vICTIMIzED
IN NEW SKIN GAME
Agency for Toilet Articles and Soaps
Falls to "Pan Out" it
Is Said,

A new game for getting money
without working for it has come to
the attention of the police in this
city. 1t is claimed that two women,
one aged so and slightly lame and
the other Is years Of age, have been
working the houses and are selling"
face creams and other toilet articles.
The women, 1t is claimed, will go
into home and try and interest the
lady of the house. in some toilet ar
ticles, and If they are successful in
arousing any interest in their wares
attempt to induce them to take the
agency for the goods.
They have an excellent proposition,
which, if it were bona fide one,
would tempt anyone. They place mer-
chandise In the home of the prospec-
tive agent" to the value of ten dol
lars. wholesale price. When the
agent accepts the terms Of the two
women they pay the ten dollars for
the merchandise and they (the wom-
en) guarantee to send around custom
ers to purchase the goods from the
agent.
Their reason for giving such liberal
offers, they are said to claim, is that
it is much easier for them to sell the
goods when the name of some we'll
known local woman is back of them
than it is when they are selling them
without knowing anyone or without
anyone to vouch for them.
The liberality of the women is bet
ter explained il the claims made by
one of the women they are said to
have made the proposition to is true.
She states that they get the ten dol
lars and then never send the toilet
articles.

The railways are still smarting I'M
der the introduction of the parcel
post many months ago, the resulting
decrease in express business and the
additional load Of the mail The gov
eminent added to the volume OF the
mail by the parcel post and didn't
pay the railroads for the burden. o.
the other hand the railways received
90 per cent of the express business
revenue that fell flatly following the
advent of the parcel post.
Under the mail weighing OF the 105
day period following the middle of
February. the railroads will be paid
for the big gain In government duties
but not to the extent of the loss CT
the revenue by express.
Officials of all the railroads ente~
ing Topeka state that since the
Introduction of the parcel post it has
been necessary to pile the mail in ex.
ira cars, fill the baggage cars and in
many cases use emergency equipment
for the accommodation of the govern
ment bags. This has been done in the
past at an actual loss to the railroad
lines-they are still being paid under
the old weighing contracts Of 1910.
According to information given out
at the Topeka postoffice, the govern
ment is also making extensive prep
arations for the handling of the mail
in the weighing period. Expert weigh
ers are to be sent to all stations of
any Importance.
