Rabbit Season Closed

The season for rabbit hunting
closed with the first of the new
year. Reports show that the open
period has been an unusually good
one The duck season which also
closed at the same time proved an
excellent one for those who enjoy
waiting in the marshes and tall
grasses for this game bird The
season for rabbits won't open again
until next November, and according
to reports there are plenty left in
the fields of Ohio to make continued
good shooting for ALL

strongest banks In the United States.
That pestiferous scoundrel and mischief maker, Old

paid out as fast as demands were made. They laugh

Of the federal reserve bank at Dallas was one Of the
speakers at the night frolic. He bluntly told all con-
cerned that the First National was as sound and as
solid as the Rock of Gibraltar and that II it needed
any assistance the federal reserve bank was behind
1t and the limit was the sky.
All the time the band was playing dance music
and bank officials had walters serving fat sand
wiches and hot coffee. Director Wm. Thomas Wag-
goner made a short talk. VIM. Thomas IS the richest
of all Texans. His holdings have a value OF $780,
DOOO 600. He is the owner Of the 100000 Arlington
Downs race track and stables. He is a very short
talker, but his huge fortune is a very loud talker.
He has been a director Of the bank for so years. He
assured the excited mob RECALLING itself on fat sand
witches and hot coffee, that he personally pledged
himself to pay every dollar Of money on deposit and
he quietly invited those who were in doubt ito do
their damndest."
Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast.

The Once Over
MIR. CooLIDGE's NIGHTGoWN
BY II. I PHILLIPS
Copyright, 1913, by The Associated Newspaper

Ex-President Coolidge lost his nightgown down
south the other day. thereby revealing to the coun-
try that there is one man who still wears one. The
confirmed suspicious.
The people always had a notion that. as President
Of the United States, Mr.. Coolidge wore a night
gown, or nightshirt, as they say way down east, and
they rather like the idea. They had a feeling that
a country is pretty safe in the hands Of any man
who clings to the old flour-sack style Of
robe de mutt.
Now their suspicious have been confirmed through
a piece OF careless packing In a Jacksonville hotel.
they want to know about Mr.. Hoover. Does Herbert
Hoover wear q nightshirt or pajamas?
The country has a right to know. He made no
prediction statement on the matter. Not a word
about nightshirts was said in his campaign speeches.
1t was ignored entirely in the Republican platform.
Very probably MI. Hoover wears a nightshirt, too.
Mr.. Coolidge approved OF his candidacy and it is I'M
likely he would do 50 II Mr.. Hoover was the sort Of
man who went to bed in newfangled things like pa
jamas. Mr. Hoover should issue a statement or the
matter.
1t must be borne in mind that Calvin Coolidge.
having lost his nightgown, definitely, positively and
almost publicity repudiated and disavowed pajamas.
Having nothing else to wear, he wore a pair for one
night, but he evidently suffered intensely. The mere
thought that he was sleeping in pajamas, and rather
fancy ones at that, offended his New England con-
science. 1t made him feel innocuous and vapid. 1t
was as II he had compromised on q great principle.
He couldn't have felt uneasier If he had been mo-
toring down Pennsylvania avenue In one-piece bath
ing suit at high noon Sunday morning.
All night long the Vermont ex-President tossed in
bed, burning with shame. What If the folks back
home in Plymouth saw him? What If Massachu-
setts-there she ~stands-heard Of him actually going
to bed in anything but the proverbial nightgown OF
his forefathers?
What II Senator Walsh heard about itP He would
probably denounce him as q dude. There would be
talk OF swank.
Phew? It was pretty distressing.
And. the first thing the next morning Mr.. Coolidge
took off the pajamas, chucked EN- away with q fine
gesture and bought himself a nightgown of the style
to which he had been accustomed and in which he
could sleep like q fearless American citizen
Just q ~one-piece garment you put on over the
head. NJ belt. no strings, no ~furbelows. no patch
pockets, no gadgets OF any kind.
In the words Of the poet:
That old-fashioned nightshirt.
That loose baggy nightshirt,
That funny old ~nightshirt
! That hung on SO well.

Distinguished from the planets

the same relative positions to each

centuries. But In reality all OF the
