to William o. l.. Ziehn when Har-
rison. Sears and Harlan fought 1t on,
for the mayoralty. He was pat.

Mr.. Ziehn was persuaded to run
for alderman and he succeeded in de-
feating George Mugler.
This was after he got going. AT
the outset campaigning was full OF
surprises to him, and he was natural.
ly bit suspicious of that which he
did not understand.
1t was arranged to give him start
on with meeting. A vacant store
was hired and filled with chairs. AT
the far end of the store brewery
table was stretched across, draped
with an American flag, and behind
the table was Joe Strauss.
The candidates entrance was timed
30 that he should be greeted by full
house, and as he progressed down
the aisle Mr.. Strauss shouted in wei

Mr.. Ziehn paused, glared at Strauss,

Japan's ROYAL Oxen,

The black oxen employed to draw
the funeral car of the late Mikado are
of a select genius which for centuries
has been employed solely for the use
Of the Japanese imperial family. No
other race of draught animals can
show such a record of exclusiveness.
The cream-colored horses reserved for
our own royal family run them close,
but some of these had once to wear
the yoke of a foreign ruler, When
Napoleon occupied Hanover he seized
all the cream-colored horses in the
royal stables and took them to Paris.
The state carriage at his coronation
was drawn by eight of these animals,
which the Parisians called lies che
yaux cafe au lait" Their employ
ment on this occasion SO irritated
George III. that he gave up using the
others of the breed stabbed In London.

The Dutchman's Good Road
Argument.

We were talking with an old Ger
man a few days ago, who expressed
a great big truth in a few words
regarding our new road. AS the
German people are famed for their
thrift and success in every line OF
endeavor, his words will bear re-
peating. Here's what he said:
"Vell, now is de time for dis county
to build a goot road, if it ever aims
to, because now de corporations will
nav bout three fourths of de cost.
If / can get a goot fence around
my land, and somebody else pays
three fourths of it, l be a fool not
TO build dat fence. 1t be de same
way nit dis road, alretty. If 9TH
ers buy dis company land now, they
do do the same nit their eyes open,
and most of dem be glad to buy on
account of de new pike. For one,
hat no land to sell. Ven l phone
for a doctor now, it take him half
de night to get to my house, al
retty, on de bad road, and ne
charge me like de dickens because
ne be gone from home so long, and
besites maybe l die, alretty, before
he can get dere. Ven de new road
is built, de doctor come pooty
quick, alretty, and den he do not
charge me half SO much for his visit,
/ safe half enough on dis doctor
bill to pay my first years tax on
80 acres, and maybe | be alife in
steadt of dead, because he get dere
in a hurry" There is lots of pom
der over IN the old Germans words.

5000 AUTOMOBILE TAGS
SOLD BY THE STATE

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-Of 5000
license tags purchased by
w. D. Owen, stated highway com
for 1915, but seven re-
manned yesterday. However, an
additional 200 recently ordered have
arrived, and it is believed these will
be sufficient to prevent depletion
of the supply the 1916 tags arrIe.
In addition to the automobile Ii
censes issued. the department has
sold 345 chauffeur licenses duriQg1
the current year. Last year theres
was a total of 5,642 automobile Ii
censes issued and 343 chauffeur II
censes sold. The automobile tags
sell for $40 each, while the other
licenses cost 81 each. The counties
receive one-half of the amount taxi
en- in from automobile licenses,
while the remaining one-half goes
into the state treasury. Practically
$4,000 has been collected for au-
tomobile licenses SO far this year.
and $4,000 of this is prorated
among the counties for use on roads.

PRESIDENTS CRITIC

Washington, Nov. 15.-(SpeciaI

Burleson to re-instate George Bur-
kit, assistant postmaster at Win
netka, H., if the only charges filed
against Burkett are that he CRITICS.
ed the president for his approach
ing marriage. Postmaster Kloep
fer of Winnetka, called for Bur
kits resignation when he heard of
the latter's criticism of the presi-
dent.
Postmaster Kloepfer called upon
Burkitt to explain a remark credit
ed to him that the president should
wait at least year before remar-
rying." Burkitt admitted making
the statement, in the course of
general conversation in the postof
fice but denied being guilty of any
disrespect. Then the postmaster,
charging him with disloyalty and
calling attention to dement's placed
against his record for "unsatisfac-
tory SERVICE" asked for his resignA
ton.
In appealing to the postoffice de
partment Burkitt protested that his
removal had been irregular; that no
formal charges had been filed
against him and that he had had
no opportunity to reply. Daniel C.
Roper, third assistant postmaster
general, is said to have replied that
the civil service laws had been fully
complied with.
Roper, when asked about the case
today, said he did not remember
1T clearly, but had the impression
matters other than the remarks
about the president led to Burkitts
removal.
Burkitt was appointed assistant
postmaster at Winnetka by Presi-
dent Taft.
