 At distance of twenty-two miles from the nearest railroad in Minne- sota is located the small community of Meadow Brook A certain chap, by the name of Bert Halverson, came. across the item and wondered if the. J. P. Hannon mentioned could have. been his friend and co-worker of for mer years. So he sat down and wrote letter to Hannon which was receiv- ed in the last mail. Quoting the open ing paragraph of Halverson's letter: Picked up a news item the other day and made me think of ye olden time. J. P. Hannon? Surely I know that fellow, but maybe there are more than one J. P. We'll, if so, no harm done. for there is only one such that knows me, so if I am shooting this at some innocent person, I humbly beg his par don."
 The letter hit home direct and J. P. is profuse in offering his thanks to the Gateway in bringing together a former pleasant acquaintance. Verify, the world is getting smaller every day.

Paris milliners have introduced a new and rakish line for the 1926 mod istes that threatens the "cloche" hat, which reigned in 1925, obsolete The new line places the highest point of the hat always aft, and hats that can not get their backs up are fading from fashion plates.
 The new models seem to be hy- brid between round sugar loaf and a square bucket, made of silk, felt or velor. The wearer imparts her per sonality to the front by inserting many wrinkles or creases after the manner of mans hat, but the back must pre- sent a sheer drop from the peak, which

The chronic habit of many pale GUS toners of an all-night Mont Martre establishment of forgetfully leaving their gloves upon the drinking tables and the excessive alertness of the "chasseur" in running out into the street to restore the gloves to their owners, appeared suspicious to detec- tives of the special drug squad. Just as the "chasseur" was handing one of the forgotten" gloves to its owner a young American, the detectives step- ped in and confiscated the property. In the index finger was package con- taining ten grammes of cocaine.
 "Toujours juene," or always young is the name of new model, illustrat- ing the charm of the three-piece cos tune which has been noted among the 1926 spring styles for women which already are being exhibited.
 The cloak is of black satin, the dress of rose orange crepe de chine. A rib bon of black satin reaches from the guimpe to hem of the dress and car ries a row of rose-orange buttons. The sleeves are of rose-orange, deeply scalloped, and peep out from the black satin forearm-length sleeves of the coat.

Premier Briand often shows signs of impatience with the wrangling that is continuously cropping out during the discussion of the various plans ad- vanced by successive finance minis ters for the restoration of France treasury.
 Emerging from a particularly heated session of the finance committee of the chamber, M. Briand, with head bowed and hands behind his back was crossing large ante-chamber to the deliberation room when he was surrounded by correspondents.
 Boys, let me give you some sound advice" the premier began, thus cut ting off any indiscreet questions. "If ever you are offered the honor of pre- siding over the government of your country, don't accept"
 And he walked away without an. other word.

LETTER N
~IN91

WASHINGTON, Now 10 --. .'Whatso-
ever thou shalt ask of me l will give
it to thee, unto the half of my king
dom, said Herod to Salome when she
danced before him and his guests.
Senator Lynn J. Frazier of North
Dakota is the Salome of the next con-
gress.
political outcast for two years,
Fraziers power has become such that
both republican and democratic parties
are now, casting amorous glances in
his direction. Each side wants him to
dance with it.
The question is, what will Frazier
demand?' The republicans can hardly
organize the next congress without
him unless they have some democratic
help.
Frazier himself is sitting tight. It's
not his move--yet. Obviously, he will
be no turn-coat and progressive prin-
ciples will continue to dominate his
course, but he rufeses to discuss his
plans.
His principal interests, of, course, is
farm relief. 1t seems very likely that
he will demand support for some one
OF the constructive relleI measures
which will be up before the 10th con-
gress, as price for whatever semb-
lance of party regularity he agrees
upon.
81 look for something important in
farm relief in December, 1927" he told
NEA Service. Il think sentiment is
increasing among the farmers them
selves an dali classes of business men
to that end. The manufacturers at
last are realizing that they must have
healthy market among the farmers.
Il think some bill like the Norris
Sinclair bill would be better than the
McNary- Haugen bill, but the McNary
Haugen measure would be better than
nothing"
Frazier might even push bill of his
own in which he still has considerable
faith, but that, he said, would depend
on conditions. He doesn't expect the
Forthcoming session to do much for
the farmer
His latest refusal to chime in with
the administration is to be seen in his
strong opposition to President Cool

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES j. M0NTAGUE

LETTING WELL ENOUGH ALONE
OF late I've read a number of pre-
dictions
That surgeons will some day acquire
such skill
AS to remove our dealiest afflictions
SO not a soul among us shall be iii.
And then-no doubt at very fancy
prices
with their assorted instruments
Z and knives
They'll operate upon US for our vices
I And after that wen lead blame
less lives.
Of these / have few, which make
it harder
For me to climb the hilltops Of
success,
cannot work with any heartfeit
ardor-
All forms of labor cause me reai
distress.
From ways of life which call for
nerves of IRON
My nature automatically recoils,
l now and then drink highballs, and
the siren
Tobacco has me firmly in her tolls.
IF could have these failings am
putated,
Could l go under ether for an hour,
And wake to find each weakness was
abated
And was filled with stern resisting
power,
No longer need I lag in the pro-
cession
Or be a mere onlooker at the game,
For I'd have nerve, and v!gor and
aggression
And carve my way to fortune and
to fame.
And yet, though poverty may over
take me-
And will, no doubt, unless L mend
my ways
Tn sort of glad the surgeons can,
remake me
Before the span allotted to my days.
For though L may be lax and easy
gated,
I'm still content, when all is said
and done,
And if today I should be re-created
I'm rather sure I'd miss lot of fun.
