Will O. Thomas, of Monticello, Pays Brief Visit to Rensselaer.

Will O. Thomas, district chairman of the republican organization, was in Rensselaer a short time this Tuesday morning. He has decided to make the race for the republican nomination for congress in the tenth district and is feeling pulses a little. Friends of Judge Hanley have been urging him to make the race and If he does Jasper county would turn inside out to nominate and elect him, but "Judge Hanley has given little encouragement to the pleadings of his friends.' If Jasper county has no candidate there is a strong probability that the support of the delegates from this county will go to Thomas, who stands at the top notch of good citizenship in Monticello and White county and who is worthy the support of voters throughout the district. Youth and vigor, coupled with a good mind and a clean record, are qualities that recommend Mr. Thomas for the office he seeks.

ORIGIN OF SLIT SKERT.

Mother Eve with Og leaves green, Made the first dress ever seen. By the way there were but few. Who that primal dress could view; Or to judge Its proper shape, And suggest some other make; Adam could alone suggest, - But his taste was not the best Eve one morning, radiant, sweet, Came with smiles lord to meet; She a pumpkin leaf , had found, And had stitched it on her gown; Adam musing, said “I see It don’t reach below the knee, And the little apes will grin If they see your naked shin.” “That’s just like a man,” she cried; “Want a pumpkin leaf to hide All our charms, you are a brute Since you ate forbidden fruit; Once you didn’t care a jot, If I had a dress or not; Now you claim it is not right—Fdr my llmbß to be in sight “Then the apes could view my form, And you didn’t raise a storm; Now if they should only grin At my ankles, 'tis a sin; But to please you I will sew On a pumpkin leaf or two;” As she stitched she gave a Jerk, Split thq leaf, heqce the split skirt Ever since that fatal day, Many women act that way; Now a dress called peek-a-boo, Has became quite common, too; With arms bare and slitted skirt, Made so tight she can not flirt; With no covering on her crown, "When she promenades the town. ■~ r .~ If some fig leaves she would sew, And'a pumpkin leaf or two On her dress where needed most, She could of advancement boast Lei us hope six thousand years More will banish all our fears, That our women, one and all, Won’t dress like Eve before the fall.

Ministers and Laymen Strive Hard to Arouse Interest in Church Going Movement. “Go-to Church Day for Everybody” will be observed in the churches of this city next Sunday, Pcb. Ist. Every person, old and youhg, is expected to attend some preaching service on that day. This is invitation week and the ministers hope to have every person in town and surrounding country decorated with a badge pledging [their attendance at church. It is hoped that the spirit of church going will be so general that all the churches will be filled to the doors. Possibly the seed for good may be sown in some hearts and that church work may be given impetus in consequence of this effort Saint Augustine, born in 354 A. D., had surrendered to the temptations oif life and was a wayward and irresolute man when he went to church one day to hear St Ambrose, whose eloquence attracted him. He returned time and again and became a convert although be fought for a long time against surrendering his contrary philosophy. The need of a personal Savior to give him power to ward off temptation brought this surrender and he was baptized when 33 years of age. Soon after, his mother, whose prayers had been for his rescue from sin, closed her eyes and died in peace. Saint Augustine’s greatest work is ‘Confessions,” while "Retractions” published after he was 74 years of age, is A classic of those days. He frankly acknowledged the mistakes of his life, which he reviewed as a guide to others. Joachim Neander, horn in 1640, once attended church out of curiosity, and afterward became a great hymn writer. He wrote “Praise Ye the Lord for He is the King of Creation.” Special services will be held in all of the church and there will be a union service at the M. E. church in the afternoon.

Says Mexican Invasion is Nothing More Than “Fiction.”

There is no prospect of U. S. invasion or intercession in the affairs of Mexico, according to President Wilson, who says that the report that U. S. marines had been ordered to land at Vera Cruz and keep the road open to Mexico City is nothing more than “interesting fiction.” The president says that the Huerta regime is slowly crumbling and holds that “natural decay” will result in Huerta’s ultimate withdrawal or removal from the office he usurped. ’ The senate foreign relations committee was called into conference with the president Monday, but It seems to have been for the discussion of general topics. A new treaty with Russia will await the arrival of the new American ambassador at St. Petersburg. The American government is on the way to a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty with Columbia for the partition of Panama. The Japanese land controversy was talked over.
