The SANE OLD THINGS
The World Improves Each Year, But Just Keeps
On Doing The Same Old Things.

The housewife, tired of the beastly
grind, turned loose some thoughts
that were in her mind, when her
husband came from his toll at night;
she said the world didn't use her
right. I'm always doing the same
old chores, I'm always sweeping the
same old floors, I'm always washing
the same old frocks, and darninG
holes in the same old socks. I'm
sick and tired of this wreched life.
There is no JOY for a poor mans
wife" The wife of the rich man
sighed and said: Gee whiz! A
dame might as well be dead. I'm
always doing my social chores, I'm
always wearied by stately bores;
I'm always choosing the proper
gown. I'm always motoring through
the town. I'm always doing the
same old things. ! wish, wish |
had ten-foot wings; I'd fly away to a
lonely cot, and do a stunt with a
coffeepot," We all grow tired OF
the work we do, and sigh and rant
till the air is blue. But it does no
good and it bales no hay, and the
wise m an chases such thoughts
away. The world improves with
each passing year, because each
man in his little sphere, takes off
his jacket and erins and sings, and
keeps on doing the same old things.

The Railroad Proposition

j. W, Myers and F, Nj, Biegs of
Jacksonville, who went to Memphis
last week in the interest Of the pro-
posed electric road from HoXie to
Calico Rock, returned Friday and
left for Nelsonville Saturday.
Mr., Myers says the work of ell
ectine and organizing a board OF
directors will be pushed as rapidly
as possible, and that when this Is
done and everything Is In readiness
he will then procure the money
with which to build the road
This kind Of talk sounds good TO
the people living along the proposed
route, and TO those who have labor
ed so earnestly In It's behalf Messrs,

PROTECT YOUR NEIGHBORS CHARACTER
Il Does Not Add To Ones Own Virtues To
Dsoy Against Faults OF Others.

Few persons do not value the
good opinion of others.
Pulling down the character of
some one else is not the way to
build up your own; the ruin of
another does not mean your build
ing up,
There are some who appear to
think another's possessions as some
thing taken from themselves. This
is a mistake.
To point out an error in another's
character is not to prove a cores
pondine virtue in ones own.
If we decry another for being
misery, of disaereeable disposition,
extravaeant or stupid, and expect
the hearer to see the corresponding
virtue in ourselves, we need TO learn
that this is not what the hearer
usually sees,
Rather he thinks how unkind
such talk is and attention is called
to failines in the speaker which
would probably otherwise not have
been noticed.
Let your chief aim be to make
yourself worthy Of the good opinion
of others,
Belittling them is a p a II
acknowledgment of a conscious
fault Of your own,
The way to win the good opinion

A Pitiable Condition

Under the new anti-narco tic law
the condition of the dope fend is
certainly pitiable. Those who have
become addicted to this form of
dissipation suffer excruciatine agon-
les when deprived of the excitant.
There may be cure for them, and
heroic measures may be ultimately
beneficial to them, but the suffering
which they must undergo temporar-
lily is almost unbearable and incon-
ceivable. Memphis News Scimitar.

England Will Not
Seize More Ships
Of Transatlantic

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--Ambassador
Page at London advised the State de-
psrtment that Great Britain had acceded
TO the American request against re-
questioning Of ships OF the American
Trans-Atlantio company.
Test cases will be made OF the steamers
Hooking and Genesee. which viii not be
requisitioned, but held pending decision
Of the prize court. In the meantime Great
Britain assures the United States that no
other vessels of the company will be
seized.
Secretary Lansing, In announcing re-
ceipts of Ambassador Pages dispatch,
said Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. the British
ambassador. also had informed him today
OF the decision Of the foreign office. A
speedy trial OF the test cases is expected.
Announcement OF Great Britain's ae-
ton was well received In Official circles
where 1t was feared that requisitioning
the ships without prize court proceedings
might lead to difficulties.
The Hooking and Genesee, as well as
other ships belonging TO the American
company. were seized because OF sus-
picious that a part OF the money with
which they were bought and registered
under the American flag came indirectly
from the German government. The COM
pany has denied this absolutely.

NORRIS OPPOSES
WILSON'S VIEWS
Nebraska Senator Says President
Expresses Pro-Rsilroad Senti-
ment in His Message.
BLOCK EcURIT1Es LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON, Dec. Especial
Telegram. Senator George w.
Norris today emphatically registered
his opposition to the presidents
views ON the railread question, as
enunoidted In the message OF Tues
day. He feels they represent pro-
railroad views and, therefore, are
inimical to the public welfare.
The proposal to enlarge the In
tersttate Commerce commission will
encounter strong opposition in view
of the attitude of the president, said
Senator Norris.
"He already has made certain appoint
ments to that body which are widely
looked on as Objectionable. II the en-
largement of the commission means more
appointments Of that sort, 1t will be
we'll to go slow. Everybody knows that
a railroad securities bill for the regulation
OF capitalization would have been passed
last congress but for the fact that 1t
was blocked in the senate by admins
tration influence.
'The president has taken a stand
against railroad securities legislation In
violation OF the platform pledge Of his
party and contrary to his own stand
earlier in his administration"
That the presidents recommendation
for a commission. OF inquiry into the
railroad question were not intended to be
perfunctory is already made plain. SEN
ator Underwood has indicated that he
would introduce a bill for such Joint
committee of inquiry

Inquiry Into Conspiracy to Tie Up
Munition Plants Takes Sensa-
tional Turn.
MAY NAME GERMAN coNsUIs

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-"Things
are sizzling" in the government in
vestigation into the alleged activities
of Franz Won Rintelen and his asso-
ciates to incite strikes in munitions
factories. 1t was learned today from
federal officials In charge OF the in
Quiry.
Following United States Attorney
Marshall's sudden summons to Wash
ington yesterday, 1t was announced
today that the grand jury which is
investigating the Rintelen case would
probably not be reconvened before
next week, and that large number
OF new witnesses would appear be-
fore It. Officials refused to give any
intimation as to the new turn the in
Quiry had taken.
For the first time today 1t was Of
ficially admitted that certain German
and Austrian consuls may be mentioned
In the report OF the grand Jury.
1t was also stated that one of the sub
jects which has been given close atten-
ton by the Jurors was the strike at ,he
General Electric companys works al
Schenectady last summer. Twelve thou
sand workers were involved in this strike
which lasted several weeks.
At the time 1t was repeatedly rumoret
that German influences we're behind the
strikers. The General Electric compan.
has large contracts with the allies fol
