SOME RARE THINGS.

Here are some things we rarely
see: .' -
A lizardette with her ears exposed.
'The Nationals Won Today" ''
The girl who does not paint, pow
der, rouge or use lipstick.
The Government clerk who retires
"well of" after thirty years of con-
tlnuous service.
A woman who admits her age.
A married man who is not broke,

THE TOMBOY GIRL

There was once a girl In Ohio,
who was known as n little tomboyo;
She used to slide down the bsnister
when no one was nigh her.
But the years rolled along,
She grew as fat as a swan;
And It's very sad to relate,
That she now sits In state,
Just singing a lazy song.

HERE'S TO WASHINGTON.

Here's to the American Capital.
The best Capital you'll ever see.
Here's to the people who compose II,
As good a bunch as can be.
Here's to those who leave II.
To travel Ger highway and sea.
Here's to the poor boobs who knock it
Drink up-?- this one Ia on me.

WHY SHE DIDN'T GET HIM.

A nose full Of hickeys,
A neck like a sheep,
A vampire was vamping
oh, ever so sweet!
She spied a young chappie.
Clean shaven and neat,
Winked and smiled sweetly,
At him and his feet.
He turned In disgust
At sight of the Jane
And looked In a window.
Which gave her a pain.
Then he opened his coat e
To look at the time,
And there. on his chest,
Was a cops badge, so fine.

SAYS COX CAUGHT
 IN TRAP SET FOR
 SENATOR HARDING
Harding Headquarters Deny That Paris Humorist Was Spokesman in French
 Approach
By Associated Press

Marion, Ohio, October 19.-An unsuc- cessful attempt by Governor Cox to trap Senator Harding" was charged in quarters here tonight in response to suggestions by the democratic nominee that Mir. Harding had conferred with Maurice DeKobra, a French journalist, regarding the French attitude tow ,rd the League of Nations.
 The statement issued over the sigma ture of Judson c. Welliver. headquar- ters director of publicity, said Senator Harding never had heard of DeKobra until today, though the latter had made an unsuccessful effort to see him in Indianapolis last Friday. It was as serted further that DeKobra, who said he had been travelling win the Cox party was evidently expected by Cox to secure an interview with Senator Harding and say certain things to h'm
 "Therefore," continued the state ment, when Senator Harding on the next day at Green Castle. Ind. made his casual observation about France having sent a spokesman to him .nfof- mally, Governor Cox assumed that De- koDra had been successful and Senator Harding had taken the bait
 Senator Harding himself declined 10 discuss the governors reference to DeKobra, or say anything further re- garding his utterances a Green Castle, Ind.
 In his reply to President Wilson's letter on the subject he was inclined to regard the incident as closed and did not intend to reveal the identity of his informants or any other details of the informal' advices he recei 5ed from them.
 Mir. Willver's statement follows: ' Tn his speech at Rochester last eve ming, Governor Cox is quoted as saying In reference to Senator Harding's statement that spokesmen of France had informally asked him that America should lead the way for an association of nations.

CITIZENSHIP SCHOOL

The citizenship school was opened Tuesday afternoon in the inferior court room with every available space in the large room being filled, a number of women being compelled to stand. Mrs. Solon Jacobs was the principal speaker of the afternoon: her address on "The League of Women Voters and the League of Nations" was interesting and instructive. Mrs. Jacobs prefaced her address with plea to the women to use their citizenship absolutely, accord : ing to the dictates of their own con. science and Judgment.
 She explained the purpose of the League of Women Voters and at the close of her address urged the women of BeSsemer to organize a Bessemer chapter of the league. Her explana ton of the League of Nations was clearly made. A demonstration of the bal.-.. was made. Mrs. B. F. Fiske. assisted by a number of local women gave the demonstration, an exact copy of the ballot which will be used in the No vember election being used.

COAL IS ORDERED
 HELD IN ALABAMA Fuel Administrator Forbids the Shipment Outside of State
 Till November 6
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau Ths Aps-Her

22i-2 First National Bank Building
 Montgomery, October 19-(Special) Closely following the announcement that railroads operating in Alabama had discontinued the practice of seiz- ing and confiscating domestic coal, ths state fuel administration late Tuesday issued an order requiring that all do- mestic coal mined in Alabama between Octboer 20 and November be shipped to points within Alabama.
 Harwell G. Davis state. fuel admin istrator, believes this order, in connec- ton with others issued during the day and on previous days will relieve Any shortage of domestic coal in the state. In enforcement of this order, he in- structed the distributor of the state fuel administration to report at once any viola tions of the order.
 Retail coal dealers were instructed in the same order not to deliver any coal to any consumer who has a supply of thirty days on hand and in no event to deliver more than thirty days sup ply and not over two tons to any con- sumner at any one time. This order ap- plies to all domestic lump coal.
 The agreement of the railroads not to confscate domestic coal relieves vex- atious problem which has caused seri- ous concern. Several railroads had been taking domestic coal to supply their own needs when they were un- able to obtain steam coal. The Louis vile and Nashville Railroad stated that it had confiscated practically no coal. Railroads which agreed not to take any more domestic coal were the Southern, Frisco and Central of Georgia.
