KfhYoN's pEfENsE.

Senator Kenyon furnishes the
Tlmes-Republican with copies OF his
argument before the United States
senate IN his own defense replying to
certain charges Of a newspaper writ
or BY the name Of Carl Alderman.
Alderman synd!cates his articles and
sells them for simultaneous publica-
ton in certain eastern newspapers and
also IN the Des Moires Register. What
he said about Senator Kenyon's con-
duct Of the senate committees inquiry
into the steel strike escaped notice in
the T.-R. Office and is probably IN
known TO T.-R- readers. Perhaps the
Des Moines Register intends to print
Senator Kenyon's defense when the
peace treaty tangle is unraveled.
The senator seems to have found n
the records OF his committees work
most OF the evidence which Alderman
accused him OF suppress!ng and his
fellow senators came 20 his rescue
with statements completely exonerat-
Ing him from the charge Of suppress
ing important evidence as to the ac-
tivity Of the reds in the steel strike.
The senator Is not greatly under a
cloud as to this incident
II any criticism could have been
made as to the senate comittee's In
qu!ry Of the steel strike It would have
been as to its lack Of dec.siveness in
It's hndinss The public will not wade
thru all Of the evidence. The public
wanted to know what the 1ury's YER
dict was. When the committee came
forth with a report that the strikers
and the steel company were both to
blame the result was what .s termed
In court a hung Jury. A new trial must
be had to determine who was guilty
or not guilty OF causing the strike.
IN these times Of activity by the reds

tack upon society ana upon the insti-
tuition Of private property a decision
such a. the cabinet has made in the
Goa! strike Is the only ono Of any pub

Tho Grayson Girl


II was the winter OF the big revival
That the Grayson girl
Came TO the, altar.
The Grayson g.! was not an unknown
figure,
But she had been little addicted
To church work.
Long before she had written
The epic of her shame
In the annals Of the community.
The Grayson girls people
Not only were poor,
But they were wsstreis.
30 when the baby came kindly hearted
folk
Interested themselves in It's welfare.
They also wanted 10 know
Who its father was,
But the Graysou girl wouldn't ten.
She declined all offers OF aid.
And told them when she wanted any
thing
From that rotten town
She'd let them know.
Nobody could ever figure out
Where the Grayson girl got her good
looks.
But she had them.
She had the bearing OF a thoroughbred.
When she got religion, as she did,
There was a good deal OF talk.
Everybody pretended to be glad.
And likely they were.
But she kept up her church work
After the revival was over.
And some objected to her activity.
They thought IL unseemiy.
So the minister was sent to tell her
To lay off little,
And not make herself 50 prominent.
The minister must have 'Tbslisd II up
He wes sincere but awkward.
Anyhow. the Grayson girl left town
Pretty soon afterward.
One night Jersey" Pricer,
Who was police reporter In K. c.
Went out TO cover a murder.
Tho women IN the place bad gone
frantic.
They always do. and were
Running IN circles.
So Jersey came downstairs
And sat down in the parlor.
While the police took charge
OF the body.
Pretty soon a woman came In.
When Jersey" looked at her
He knew her at once.
II was the Grayson girl.
She laughed and said,
Hello, Jersey" and leaned ovsr

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Alexandra,
Is 1T YOURS7
DEC. 1. 1S44.

The Dowager Queen of Great Brit
ain. mother Of the reigning King
George, was christencd Alexandra
Caroline Charlotte Louise Julie, prin-
cess Of Schleswelg- Holstein. She il
the daughter OF King Christian XXX.
OF Denmark. and was born in the
quaint city of Copenhagen.
The Danish princess and her BROTH
ers and sisters were brought up with
the greatest simplicity. the little girls
were even taught to make their own
dresses. Yet one sister became en-
press Of one Of the most elaborate
courts in the world-Russia; one
brother became king Of Greece, and
Alexandra, herself, was married at the
age of 10 to Edward VII, heir pre-
sumptive Of England and all her vast
possessions.
The new princess beauty and grace
captivated the nation. Queen Victoria
wished to remain in retirement as
much as possible so the prince and
princess had to take her place at most
public functions. Alexandra, having
been brought up in great simplicity
herself. applied these same common
sense methods In rearing her children,
and there are many stories told of the
quiet domestic life which the royal
family led.
She reigned nine years with her
husband and on his death. in 1910. be-
came dowager queen. She is remark
ably young looking and one Of the
handsomest women in England.

Col. C. S. Emery is planning to at
tend the union service and it is ex-
pected he will consent to give a short
talk on the question of thrift.
The plan of the War Savings Com
mittec is to instill into the people
the habit of saving. The government
finds it impossible to benefit by the
sale OF thrift stamps but is keeping
them on sale only in order TO help
the people Of the country to save
while they have the money to save.
These are prosperous times and the
government believes that the com
mon people can find no better way
to put their money away than to pur-
chase these stemps.

saving a million feet of lumber on
the Nelson farm in Wheelock. The
mill has been located on the Hoyt
farm near the South Wheelock
