not got out OF the sleigh, you remem-

gra bbed up the reins and turned
those reindeer around as quick as a

back TO the five pointed pieces OF ice
where Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky
and the Great Bear and the Little
Bear were sitting.
Come on" said the Yellow Dog
Tramp Lets get home before the
Dog Star catches us!' And away

the Reindeer said goodby and went

NO VAR WITH ENGLAND NOW
 IS POSSIBLE
Roosevelt Says Time Has Arrived When We Can Agree to Universal Ar bitration Treaty with England.

New York, Dec. 10--That the United States and Great Britain could today agree to universal arbitration treaty which would make war be- tween the two nations impossible for all time, is the opinion expressed by Theodore Roosevelt, in letter made public here today, which the colonel wrote to George Haven Putnam, president of the American Rights League.
 q am now prepared to say what five years ago l would not have said" the former president wrote. q think the time has come when the United States and the British empire can agree to a united universal arbi- tration treaty
 "In other words, l believe the time has come that.under no circum- stances that there will be resort to war between the United States and the British empire, that no question can ever arise between them that can not be settled in juricial fashion, in some such manner as questions be- tween states of our own union would be settled"
 In his letter the colonel expressed opinion also that the United States should not try to build a navy equal to England's, which he described as probably the most potent instrument tality for peace in the world" but that America's navy should be second in strength.

FORMER HOUSTON, TEX., MAN ELECTED
 PRES. RUBBER GO,

Houston, Tex, Dec. 10.--The re- port was given out in Houston from reliable sources Tuesday that Charles $. Seger, former Houstonian and prominent railroad official of New York, has been elected president of the United States Rubber company Mir. Seger has been chairman of the executive committee of the Union Pa cific railroad since April of this year, taking the place of R. E. Lovett, up- on the latter's enlistment in war ser vice.
 The election of MT. Seger to head probably the largest institution of it's kind in the country means his com plete severance from all railroad con- nections except ss a member of the board and executive committee, after 36 years continuous service.
 Mir. Seger's rise to what is gener- ally regarded as the most influential position iG railroad circles was rap- id and his selection to head the Uni ted States Rubber company is itrb- ute to his ability. He began as an office bow and advanced with increas- ing rapidity.
 For number of years while he served in various capacities with the Southern Pacific company MT. Seger made his headnuarters in Houston and he is we'll known and has a wide circle of friends in this city and state

 Commenting on the protest, the Badish Landes -Zeitung, declares that the next war will be won in the arr and advises the government to make new contracts with the manufactur- CTS, ito allow Germany to remain fin possession of the number of flying machines needed to face the dangers that may menace her in the course of the coming years"

GOVERNOR BR0uGH i WILL SPEAK TODAY

 Governor Brough win address the people of Pine Bluff this afternoon at 3:30 on the provisions of the new Constitution of Arkansas. The gover- nor will speak from the court house steps, and the meeting will be in the open.
 Everyone should vote intelligently next Saturday when the ratification of the new constitution will be before the people of the state. You must either ratify or reject it, and therefore you should be informed as to the opera tion of the new organic law which is contained in the proposed document. Come out and hear the governor present the case, and perhaps you will be able to learn something of the pro- visions which you were not familiar with.
