JASPER INDIANA The fellow who pities himself gets no sympathy from anybody else.. The price of cauliflower is said to he going up. Let her soar! In the bright lexicon of love there U no such word as eugenics. Let us hope that the fellow who -wears & velvet tie isn't as big a mutt as he looks. It isn't a good plan to burn your bridges behind you unless you are a good swimmer. A hunter has been shot in mistake for a squirrel. This is comtening insult and injury. Suppose bogus foods were generally known by their real names: Kindly pass the synthetic ether. It is impossible to convince some people that music and playing on a plan aro two different things. The advantage about taking advice Is that you have somebody to blame it on if things don't turn out right. Fashion savs, "Wear a certain sort of thingumbob on your hat," and every woman in the land wears it. Some family skeletons have been getting a lot of exposure since the diaphanous gown came into vogue The Paris decollete dress for men has triumphantly thrown the diaphanous and slit skirts into the shade. From the example of distinguished men, the recipe for continual youth eeems to be hard work and plenty of it The reason a woman wunts money Is because having it enables her to get rid of it in exchange for other things. Scientists have discovered that pigSkin is a good substitute for human skin. Queer that they overlooked that bo long. The farmer who used to be a terror In a horse trade is at the mercy of the automoDile salesman, just like the rest of us. A Western man is suing a railroad president because the latter's road smashed his trunk. At last, the worm is turning. It is said that the tango will be the favorite society dance this winter. Society never was much of a place for an old man. The price of snakes has advanced $3 a foot. We wouldn't care if the price of snakes was $1,000 an inch for boaconstrictors. A man may be able to make money with a common-school education, but his son must have a college education to know how to 5pend it. "Crow's feet" may make Missouri marble unavailable for that state's capital. Here's a chance for the "beauty doctors" to make good. Urging Yuan Shih-kai to employ drastic methods, as certain of his sup porters have done, is equivalent to urging him to be Yuan Shih-kai. The incident of spilling a dish of ice cream Into a young lady's lap which resulted in a wedding might not have had the same romantic conclusion with a bottle of ink substituted. Many a June bride who had never ' lifted anything heavier than an embroidery needle is now swinging a shovel between the coal bin and the furnace. . It ie said that women will wear men's vests this fall. It may be tho time will come when it will be possible to stop a woman and ask her for a match. A German prince who .-lid bad words over the wire about tho service was finwd $7 for beamtenbeleidigung. One thing that is cheaper over here is beamtenbeleidigunging. Wooden shoes, which are attaining somo popularity In this country, wouid bo great for bedroom wear in old fashioned homes where tlje carpet tack occasionally directs Its point upward through the night. If men wore knickerbockers they would not need to send those garments to tho pressors every fed days, and tho reform might therefore incur tho opposition of all tho United pautoriums and pantltorlums. Popcorn as a breakfast food Is recommended by tho agricultural departmQut as a way to reduce the high cost of living.

SPEAKER CLARK AND VICE-PRES IDENT MARSHALL CALL THE HOUSES TO ORDER. MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT Ambitious Program Is Laid Out for the Nation's Lawmakers, and They May Be Busy Most of Next Year Women Fill Galleries. Washington, Dec. 3. At the stroke of noon travels sounded in senate and house signalizing the opening of the second, or first regular, session of the Sixty-third congress. The familiar figure, of Speaker Champ Clark was seen in the house chamber. In the senate Vice-Presi dent Marshall called the senators to order. This was the first regular session of congress in many years which was ushered in under entirely Demo cratic auspices with Democrats in control of the house and senate and a Democratic executive in the White House. As is usual on such occasions, the galleries were filled, there being a brilliant display of millinery and win ter fashions by women spectators. The diplomatic 'galleries in both houses' were well filled, diplomats of South America and Central America predominating in the attendance. In the house the blind chaplain of that body, Rev. Henry N. Couden, de livered, the invocation, after which a few new members were escorted to the speaker's desk to take the oath of office. This ceremony over the house proceeded to uninteresting rou tine business. Routine business and preliminary skirmishing over the cur rency bill occupied the attention of the senate. Subjects They Will Take Up. Many members, who were detained here during the summer and autumn months, have not returned yet, some declaring they would remain away un til after January 1, so as to be at home for the holiday season. They think little important business will be transacted until after the begin ning of the new year. Although the program had not been definitely formulated, members look forward to tackling one of the most ambitious legislative tasks that congrees in a long time has attempted. Here are some of the subjects of legislation that the new congress will take up: Final action on the currency bill. Anti-trust legislation. Rural credits. Naval program. Passage of a dozen appropriation bills. Train safety and safety on the ocean. Regulation of the shipping trust.. Final action on the reports of lobby investigating committees. The cost of living problem. Legislation to protect women workers. River and harbor budget. Legislation looking to the building of a government railroad in Alaska. May Have to Consider Mexico. Another important matter which it is believed will engage the attention uf congress is discussion of the Mexican problem. However, this depends on the action of President Wilson. There will be no action relative the president gives it his approval, to Mexico, most members think, unless Congress will be on the job until about December 19, when an adjournment will be taken over the Christmas holidays until January 5. Appropriation bills will be under consideration within a week or two, it being the ex pectation that the District appropria tion bill will be tho first one considered. Many members predicted that congress would be in session during the coming summer and perhaps until the autumn. SUN CULT CHIEF GUILTY ' Federal Jury Convicts Hanish at Chi cago for Obscene Books Faces Long Prison Term. Chicago, Nov. 29. 0 toman Zar Adusht Hanish, the "little master" of the Mazdaznan sun cult, wes found guilty by a jury in Federal Judre Mack's court, following his sensational trial on a charge of violating the interstate commerce law through the shipment of his book, "Inner Studies," via express. Counsel for Hanish made the usual motion for a new trial. Tho date for a hearing on this motion will be fixed by Judge Mack upon his return to Chi cago. Fixing of the penalty rests with the court. The conviction carries with it as a maximum penalty a fine of $5, 000 or five years in the penitentiary, or both. The Mazdaznan sun cult, of which Hanish is the founder, long has been before the public aye. It is regarded by tho government as one of tho most powerful of cults, its membership embracing 14,000 men and women in the United States, many of whom are of wealth and influence. The teachings and methods of Hanish, who impresses upon his followers tho might of the sun both as a religious and healthful deity, first attracted tho attention of the federal authorities in 1909. Complaints had been numerous and tho postal authorities turned their searchlight upon Honlsh. Tainted Meat Polsoni 105. Madrid, Dec. 1.

Marchese Vincenzo dl Cellere is the new Italian ambassador to the United States, appointed to succeed Marchese Cusani-Confalonleri. U. S. SUES AMERICAN CAN COMPANY AS A TRUST Brief Filed Before Federal Court in Baltimore Asks Dissolution of Company. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 1. The depart ment of justice through John P. Hill, United States attorney for the dis trict of Maryland, filed suit against the American Can company and the subsidiary concerns under the Sher man anti-trust law. The complaint al leges that the defendants restrain in terstate and foreign trade in tin cans, and are attempting to monopolize the same. In the latter part of 1901, the peti tion alleges, a conspiracy was formed among J. Hobart Moore. William Hen ry Moore, Daniel G. Eteid, Fred S. Wheeler, Henry W. Phelps, William T. Graham, George G. MoMurty and D. Wiley McCaughey, for the purpose of restraining trade in the United States by creating a single corporation with large capitalization and buying or leasing the greater portion of the can and can-making machinery in the United States. The American Can company was incorporated with a capi I tal stock of $38,000,000 to carry out this plan and shortly thereafter the competing plants were acquired. The control of these factories and manufacturing plants was maintained through contracts by which former owners or venders were prevented from engaging in business for the next fifteen years. It is also alleged that the American Can company ob tained possession of patents on ma chinery for long-term periods. The brief asks for tho dissolution of the combine into separate and inde pendent units, as many as may be found necessary to establish competitive conditions and that a receiver be appointed to take possession of its property and work out such a dissolu tion. Until such dissolution the court is asked to enjoin the defendants from voting or receiving dividends from the stocks of any corporations acquired by the trusts.

SERVICE ELEVENS ENGAGE IN DESPERATE BATTLE RESULT ING IN SCORE OF 22-9. FORWARD PASSES IS FACTOR West Pointers by Open Field Play at Critical Points Accumulate Winning Total President Wilson Sees Game In New York. New York, Dec. 1. With the presi dent of the United States and mem bers of his cabinet, together wTith 42,000 patriotic Americans, surrounding tha gridiron in the Brush stadium, the West Point football eleven furnished a stunning surprise by conquering the midshipmen from Annapolis by a score of 22 to 9. Spectators Get Thrill. From the standpoint of the specta tor, the game and its setting lost nothing.of its thrilling grip and interest as a result, and the 42,000 persons pres ent gasped and cheered by turns at the kaleidoscopic playing scenes depicted. The uses of the forward pass repeat edly by the cadets opened up the play to a far greater extent than the more conservative line attack and runs of the middies, thus furnishing the spectators with many brilliant football pictures and the army a vehicle of vic tory. It was in the execution of this play that the army advantage lay and the final score demonstrates how suc cessfully it was worked. In the opening quarter the two elevens played the usual eastern game, with the attack directed princi pally at the line and outside tackle. At this period the advantage lay entirely with the middies, who used their weight and speed for consistent gams. Near their own goal line the army held firmly and Brown, the middies right guard, was called back to the cadets' 20-vard line, whence he kicked a placement goal. In the second peri od he duplicated the feat, after Hodg son dropped one of Nicholls punts and Gilchrist recovered. Army Scores Touchdown. The army got into action in this quarter also, and sent the score see sawing with a field goal and touch down. Early in the period the soldiers gained the ball on the navy's ten-yard line as a result of a blocked punt from Nicholls' toe. The West Point backs could make no impression on the navy line, and Woodruff, who replaced Jouett for the occasion, kicked an easy goal from placement on the navy's 25yard line. Just before the quarter ended Prichard caught one of Nich olls high punts at midfield and raced 15 yards toward the middies' goal before he was downed. Three times in succession, then, Prichard hurled a forward pass. The first two were uncompleted, but the third shot squarely into the hands of Merrill at, the army right end, who had run across the middies' goal line, thus West Point registered the first touch down of the game, leaving the score at the end of the first half 9 to 6 in favor of the soldiers, for McEwan failed to kick the goal from touchdown. The navv added another goal from placement in the third period when Nicholls, by clever running back of Jouett's punt, placed the ball on the army's 25-yard line. Checked by the soldiers' defense, Brown scored his third and last goal from placement, kicking from the 30-yard mark. IVierrillat Proves Star. With the points nine all the cadets opened another brilliant attack. Merrillat, with little or no interference, ran from the army's 45-yard line to the middies' one-yard mark before he was tackled from the rear by Gilchrist. Two line plunges, with Captain Höge carrying the ball, scored the second touchdown, and McEwan kicked the resultant goal, making the score, army 16; navy, 9. Immediately following the opening of the final period Captain Höge caught one of Nicholls' low punts on the army's 45-yard line and ran unaided to "the middies' 20-yard mark before Brown pulled him down. On the next line-up Höge tore through the fast-weakening sailors' line for eight yards. Again Prichard elected to try a forward pass ana again it was Merrillat who caught the flying spheroid behind the navy goal line for the third touchdown of the game. The ball was downed to the extreme right of the goal posts and the punt out was a failure, leaving the final score: Army, 22; navy, 9.

Threats of impeachment forced Mayor Shank of Indianapolis to resign. The mayor has been severely criticised for his orders to the police not to ride on street cars during the recent strike.

CRAIG' IS CALLED VAMPIRE BY LAWYER AT INDIANAPOLIS Alleged Slayer of Dr. Helene Knabe Is Charged With Ruining Women Jury Is Chosen. Shelbyville, Ind., Dec. 2 Dr. Will iam B. Craig sat in the little court, room here, where he is on trial for his life, before a jury consisting almost en tirely of farmers, and heard himself denounced as the slayer of Dr. Helene Knabe by Ephraim Inman, attorney representing the Indianapolis Council of Women. The jury was completed at the forenoon session and after recess Mr. In man began outlining the state's case. "As one of the misfortunes of the case the state will be able to bring no eyewitnesses to this crime," said Mr. Inman. "We expect, however, tobring before you a train of circumstances all pointing not only in the direction of the murder, but in the direction of Dr. William Craig as the guilty man. "On the night of the murder, Doctor Craig was seen near the premises within a little while before the murder necessarily occurred," he declared. j "Doctor Craig has indulged in a sys tem of making engagements with worn en and breaking them," said Mr. In man. "He wronged a high school girl and refused to marry her. He did the same thing with another girl and af terward compromised with her." CHILD LABOR LAW HELD VALID Supreme Court Decides Indiana Had Right to Prevent. Submitting New Constitution to Voters. Washington, Dec. 2.

At dinner one evening the father. had been entertaining a number oi friends from Philadelphia with a fun ny story. This was at dessert. The youngster had been very quiet throughout the previous courses; but here he arose to the occasion in fine' style.

WIFE WON Husband Finally Convinced. Some people are wise enough to try new foods and beverages and then generous enough to give others the benefit of theic experience. A wife writes: "No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than I, a coffee captive. Yet there were innumerable warnings waking from a troubled sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and out of breath, attacks of palpitation of tho heart that fright ened me. (Tea is just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At last my nervous system was to disarranged that my physician ordered no more coffee I capitulated. "Determined to give Postum & fair trial, I prepared it according to direc tions on the pkg., obtaining & dark brown liquid with a rich snappy flavour similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but delicious.
