On The North Pole Exchange.

Hello, Central, give me Santa
Number? Just North Pole;
Just connect me with his palace,
And-you might reverse the toll;
For I'd like to talk with Santa,
And ask him why last year
He passed right by Our chimney
With his team of swift reindeer,
When / wrote him a nice letter,
Telling him my hearts desire
But | guess this methods quicker
Can't you get him on the wire?
Yes, wrote and asked old Santa
For some coal and things to eat,
And a warmer dress for Mamma.
And some shoes for baby's feet,
And / asked him for my Papa
For the Job he needed so,
And a doll for mel never
Really owned a doll, you know.
But I'll tell you-if this Christmas
Santa fails to come around.
Why, Our hearts will be just broken
And we'll all of us be found
Hungry and sad and lonesome
There's so little we desire
Hello, Central! Give me Santa
CAN'T you get him on the wire?

FAME.

What is less enduring than the
fame of the popular" man. The
world moves SO quickly these days,
that it is only the truly great that
can survive A few years ago-even
few months ago-Lord Kitchener
was the idol of the English people.
Today he is almost a daily target for
their wrath. The world rang with the
fame of Grand Duke Nicholas of Rus
STA. Today his name is not on the
lips of any nation. Recently John
Paul Jones and Alexander Hamilton
were denied a place in the Hall Of
Fame, although niche was found for
Charlotte Cushman, the actress. Who
are our own heroes of today and
where will they be ten years hence?

Andrews Cuts Down.

Muscatine Journal: Before leaving
for Clinton. Manager Doc Andrews
OF the Jays announced the release OF
Pitcher Marshall, who did not &C
company the team to Muscatine for
the series which closed yesterday.
The leader OF the former champions
states that he had to drop only one
player in order to get down to the
limit. A glimpse at the present ros-
ter. however, will show that it will
be necessary for Doc Jay to get rid
OF one more player if the player lin
it rule now in vogue in the Central
association is properly recognized.
When the Bluejays arrived here On
Sunday, thirteen men comprised the
team and each was given carfare to
Clinton this morning, which proves
that Andrews must let loose of one
of his preesnt crew il he is to abide
by the laws of the league. The Jay

From constant playing the lung pow

such an extent that he often has to

eral governments income from taxes
on alcoholic beverages. Nine states are
to adopt prohibition next year. and of

new system of taxation to take the

The belief exists that the 80 per cent
Of the governments income from the

to % per cent in the next two years,
due to the spread and the enforcement
Of prohibition and local option laws.
The problem, which involves a radical
change in the system Of taxation, in
existence practically since the founda-
ton Of the government itself, is being
studied by students Of legislation. In
the opinion of legislators it is neces-
