It's Funny How They Do 1t,
But They Do.
By w. H. Dugdale. }

we nave men OF great dWOlClOn
Who are wonders in their line;
They can live and work for nothing
And have everything that's fine;
They can put up modern buildings
In style both grand and new;
It's funny how they do it, but they do.
When the bell taps for fire
The departing Mt is on hand
With equipments that are modern
And the finest in the land;
And the oldest men in the service
Always see the fire through;
It's funny how they do it, but thy do.
The police patrol the city,
AS the law directs they should,
And give US good protection,
That's thing that's underStoOd;
They will catch an old offender
With zeal possessed by few;
It's funny how they do it, but they do.
Take man that is arrested
For a crime that he has done
And can furnish bail for freedom,
He may be rich mans son;
But a man who stole from hunger
He must serve his sentence through;
It's funny why they do it, but they do.
When some people put up buildings
And you figure low and fair,
You will count up ali expenses
And will only ask your share;
But you find you are not in it,
And can see your finish through;
It's funny how they do it, but they do.
AS has often been expected,
Every dog will have his day;
While the sun is shining brightly
Gather in your stock of hay;
Do not linger lest you lose it
And then of course you re through;
It's funny how they do it, but they do.
The law says ''don't sell liquor,''
Which in every sense is right;
It stands for moral uplft,
And will work with all their might,
But some people will take big chances
And smuggIe whiskey through;
It's funny how they do it, but they DO.

Juvenile Branch of Red Men

Attention, boys! A juvenile branch
of the Improved Order of Red Men
will be organized soon, and all boys
of good character, between the ages
of IL and IS years, are eligible to
membership. The entrance fee will
be small and a set of bylaws and
secret work adopted. 1t will prove
intensely interesting to the young
men between these ages as Indian
life'' affords the greatest study and
consequently proves the most inter-
esting. Boy scouts will especially be
interested. When the az. of 18 is
reached the boy is eligible to men,
bership into the Improved Order of
Red Men. All boys interested will
please see me early as possible.

CHARLESTON. S. c., Jan 3l.-Want-
ing to see Admiral Dewey's famous old
flagship before It leaves the Charleston
navy yard permanently, large num-
Der of persons are journeying to the
navy yard to look at the cruiser
Olympia. The Olympia is now in the
dry dock. undergoing repairs prepara-
tory to orders having been issued by the
Navy Department to have the vessel
ready by that time to sail for San Fran
cisco by way Of the Panama canal. The
cruiser was placed in the dock by the
naval tug Sebago. and the tug Waban,
Of Charleston. Captain Flatley.
Whether or not tha Olympia will leave
here the middle of February for the
Pacific coast seems to be doubtful. in
view OF the recent announcement OF
Col George W. Gotehals that it was
likely that tho canal will not be ready
TO accommodate the fleet Of battleshps.
or which the Olympia will form part,
by the date mentioned. According to
Colonel Goethals. the continual sliding
of mud and debris in the canal may
interfere with the passaE" of the large
battle ships. However. the authorities
at the navy yard say that the Olym-
pia will be ready to leave here on the

SUGGEST MEN VOTE
THROUGH THE MAILS
Efforts viii Be Made at Coming
Session Of Iowa Legislature
to Pass Bill.

SIOUX CITY. Iowa. Jan. ao.--Efforts
will be made at the coming session OF
the Legislature to incorporate In thu
Iowa election laws an amendment per-
hitting voting by NEIL, applicable to
men who find it necessary to be awa,'
from home on election day. This is
one of the amendments suggested by g
committee of Sioux CITY business and
professional men, now studying the
present law with view Of amending
it in such a Way as to bring II up to
the present needs.
The committee also suggests that the
last day OF registration should he the
third Saturday before election. instead
of the first Saturday. -Four other sug-
gestions are made.
THE right to vote is the most vaiu-
able right possessed by each and every
citizen" said RI II. Burton-Smith. who
is assisting the committee in drawing
the amendments. And when the right
is forged the act is reasonable.
Thoughtful comprehension of the value
Of the right ought TO convince the con-
science of every citizen and legislator
that the simple safeguards that sur
round everyday business intercourse
ought to be thrown around the right to
vote. 1t is vital that every man who
has the right to vote should be allowed
to exercise it with the least possible in
convenience, but il it is to amount to
anything as right the citizen must
carefully and efficiently protect it
against destruction by fraud. cunning,
and deceit"

Before the opening traders predicted
that the effect OF the Zeppelin raid
over England would be reflected
through European selling Of Ameri-

the market would react. This. how
ever. did not prove to be the case.
The only stock on the list which
might be said to have shown any in
fluence from the German attack was
Canadian Pacific. which sold down "
points in the early trading. The stock.
however, later recovered its loss and
made q fractional gain for the day.

was due principally to profit taking.

I'VE have carried the war into the

Our present lines are very strong: the
advantage is all on our side thus far.

How long do you think the war may
or can last?''
1T can last indefinitely for US. l

DO you know when the recruits OF
the 1915 class are to be called to the
colors? October l. 1915. Is the normal
date
Il was occupying myself with this
question Yesterday. Does that look as
II there .s any lack of soldiers? We
have more troops in Berlin today than
in peace times. They still need train
ing. however. No men are sent to the
front without adequate preparation.
You have been at the front and
know that there Is no slackening In
the zeal of the men for their task. No;
We can GO on indefinitely"
And how far does Germany wish to
carry this war-until the other side Is
completely crushed"'
Until they are so defeated that the
possibility of repetition Of this un-
provoked attack upon us is completely
eliminated.
