BLEAK DECEMBER
by Walt Mason

December always makes me sad, for then
the climates mostly bad, and if a-motoring
one goes, he'll freeze his whiskers and his
nose. Uncertain is December's mood; her
conduct hints that she is stewed. Her
changes are thing of dread; you cannot
plan two hours ahead. The sun NAV rise
as brass, and promise putting up much
grass. You cry, "Oh, what lovely dav!
Ill get my car and scorch away, and breathe
some crisp refreshing air, which is abund-
and everywhere" And when you've gone
nine miles or four, the sky clouds up, YOU

Is it true that Niagara river was ever
dry? If so, will you kindly tell me the
facts7
The Niagara river was INSTRUCTED by
ice at Lake Erie and ran nearly dry
for one day, on March 20, 184S. A man
walked across the falls that day, and
the water did not more than cover the
soles Of his Shoes Photographs were
taken of the falls in 1908, which were
printed in the papers at the time, show
ing the American falls practically dry,
only a little stream Of water trickling
over the cliffs in the distance. Other
pictures showed people walking about
picking up souvenirs in the usual bed
of the American falls. An ice blockade
about Goat island, diverting nearly all
the water to the Canadian falls, was
responsible for this condition. The
same thing happened in 1905. There
may have been other times when the
falls were dry.
Would the president of the United
States have right to send troops into
any state to enforce law or preserve
the peaes7 .i "a
Yes. The constitution Of the United
States says be shall stake care that
the laws be faithfully executed" and
this gives him unlimited discretionary
power on that behalf. The supreme
court of the United States has said:

United States may, by means Of phys
ical force, exercised through its official
agents, execute on every foot of Amer

General Villa is Mexican, who, as
far as he can be said to have any yo-
cation, Is a professional revolutionist
and has been prominent in this line Of
activity for several years. sHis princi-

military chief of the Constitutionalist
army which largely brought about the
fall OF Huerta. After this was done
he opposed the ambitions of Carranza,
the civil chief of that party, and or
ganized and is now conducting revo-
luton against him. He has some mill

Santa Fe Railroad Won't Give Bonus
to Members of Brotherhoods.

The Santa Fe railroad distributed
about $2,75O0OO to $4,000 employees as
Christmas bonuses. In the announce
ment President =. p. Ripley says adj
ditional compensation equal to 10 per
cent of years pay would be given to
all employees in the service of the rail-

whose annual compensation does not
exceed $500 and whose compensation
Is not paid according to present or for
