HYOE'S TRIAL POSTPONED.
Court Grants Request of Prosecutor
Injunction Rehearina OVerruled.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2l.-The DR..
Z. Clark Hyde case has been post
pOned until next Monday at the re
quest of Prosecutor Jacobs. The mo-
tion was opposed by Frank p. Walsh,
chief counsel for the defendant, in
Judge Porterfields court yesterday af-
ternoon. The session, however was
an unusually tame one, with no bitter
words or loud talk.
About an hour after the postpone
ment, Attorney Roland Hughes filed a
motion for a new hearing of his in
junction proceedings against the coun-
ty court to retain it from paying the
Hyde trial expenses, and was over
ruled by Judge Southern. He Will ap-
peal to the supreme court. He has
until the expiration of the present
term. or until March l, to give notice
of appeal 1t is believed the supreme
court will decide the matter so that
unless the lower court is reversed, the
HYDE trial can go on in less than
three months.
Prosecutor Jacobs said last night he
has no intention of waiting for a de
cision from the higher body. He be-
leved that by the end of the present
week he will have worked out plan
for an immediate hearing, but he de
clined to disclose along what line he
is working.
The Hyde trial probably will be
continued for week when it is call
ed again next Monday.

MISSISSIPPI CONGRESSMAN is
TRYING TO DEFEAT INDIAN

The first fight made against the
Carter amendment to the Indian ap-
nropriation hin providing for a per

made in the committee on Indian Al
fairs in Washington today Congress
man Hardson of Mississippi wants
congress TO adjust the citizenship
claims of the mississippi Choctaws
stiu residing in Mississippi before
any payments were made. Congress
man Carter of this district who is
making the fight for the per capita
payment was on hand and a lively
title was had. Mr.. Carter defended the
amendment on the ground that the
federal laws require that these per
capita payments be made annually.
The Curtis bill and also the AtoAa
agreement set ont In plain terms that
funds coming into the federal treas
rry to the credit of the tribes shall
Dc distributed among them annually,

The MEANEST MAN on record
is the unnatural father who bribed
his son to 90 to led without his
supper. thus decreasing the family
living expenses for the day. Dur
ing the night the crafty father
stole to his child's bedside and re
covered the penny. In the morn
ing-so the story goes-he beat the
poor boy for having lost the coin
The MEANEST MERCHANT in
business is the one who decoys us
into his store by advertising the
well-known and time tested HAN
DY glove away below the regular
established price. After buying a
pair of the gloves We remember
that we need Il couple OF shirts. we
ask for the make that We have al
WAYS used, but the MEANEST
MERCHANT happens to be just ont of
that lire and suggests something
better" This is the Bob Tail
shirt. which We never heard Of but
which we accept a a p';ce a third
higher than that of our satisfactory
brand We begin to sEspec, that
the MEANEST MERCHANT has
made up his loss on the gloves.
Then We are persuaded TO buy
some new neckties at prices 10 us
corrcspondiugly novel by this time
we are aware chat we nave spent
more in this bargain shop than
the gloves. shirt ana lies would
have cost us had We procured our
tried and ravorite BRANDS at their
standard prices In relief We ask
for ten cents worth of postage
stamps. Here at least We know what
we are getting and what the cost
win be.
Why is it, We woader. that these
dealers of shifty prices never offer
postage stamps at eut rates? Is ii
because. even if the government
would permit such bargains" we
would quickly discover the real mo
tive of the sale and re on our guar!
against the come back For We
all know that a postage stamp has
value Just as unyarying and just
as assured as the coin OF the realm.
And we know that any man who
would sell us postage stamp at
half price would be losing money
on that sale. Such man would be
philanthropst, not q business man
unless he made up the loss in some
way or other
Yet most standardized goods have
a value almost as we'll tested and
established AS that of postage stamp
For such goods have been held
up to the most eXacting public
scrutiny and have built their sue
cess and reputation upon sheet mer-
il i'm a fair competitive field. Sc
when the N1EANEST MERCHANT
offers these goods at a price below
cost to him he is either mischiev-
ously undermining our confidence II
the worth of the merchandise a
the advertised price, or Is offering
us something for less than its rea
value-iust as he would offer us
two-cent stamp for a cent. if HI
dared. And just as he would maxi
up his loss on the stamp in som'
underhanded way. so he will re
cover his loss on these STANDARD
goods by selling unbranded or un
known merchandise at eNorbitan
prices.

Condors In Chile.

The majestic condor is. air men ex.
cluded. the largest flying creature in
the world. Swift and extraordinarily
strong of wing, 1t figures in the Chilean
national arms as symbol of strength.
The following is one Of the native de-
vices for killing it:
The hunter, having covered himself
with the skin of a newly slain OK,
would lie on his back on the ground.
while his companion would hide him
self not far away. Down would swoop
the condor to feast upon the carcass.
but directly the claws touched the
body they were seized from within
the oxskin by strong gloved hands that
held the bird u prisoner. Then the
partner would break cover and slay
the captive with what Chaucer would
have called IA verde smerck" from a
club.-"Chile-Its Land and People"
