oy . G “GUILTY” (Continued from nrst page). when his union, the Ironworkers, called a general strike against the American Bridge company in 1905. It plunged headlong through. six years of time and ninety-two disast- rous explosions throughout this:coun- try, entailing an approximate loss of millions and the murder of twenty- one men iu the Los Angeles Times ex- _Plosion. ‘ These forty union men were tried for conspiracy to transport explos- ives illegally, in connection with Me- Namara’s dynamite plots. The forty -sat in the gloomy “court room every court day from October 1 to December 26, while their wives and relatives alternately. smiled and wept among the spectators and their children played hide and seek through the marble pillared ' corri- . dors. This was the longest trial of its kind ever conducted and the largest number of defendants ever tried in one case. Few juries ever faced the task and responsibilities that the jur- ors faced in this case. Five hundred and forty-nine wit- nesses and more than 1,000 exhibits were introduced. The trial, it is esti- mated, cost $100,000. New facts given in the trial just ended were: Herbert S. Hockin, former secre- tary-treasurer of the International Association of Ironworkers, was branded by three government wit- nesses and numerous exhibits as the betrayer of his fellow unionists. Hockin also probably “double- crossed” his fellow workers to Burns. Hockin’s motive was said to be a desire to displace J. J. McNamara as secretary-treasurer of the union. When McNamara went to jail a confessed murderer, Hockin got the office. ‘When the government’s guns were turned on Hockin during the present trial, he was forced to resign.

M. & ST. L. AND S00 LINES ANNOUNCE IMPORTANT PLANS " Minneapolis, Dec. 28.—Surpassing in Importance any railroad develop- ments of recent years relative to Min- neapolis are the authoritative state- ments yesterday that the Minneapo- lis & St. Louis, Green Bay & Woest- ern and Ann Arbor roads with the Ann Arbor’s Lake Michigan car fer- ry lines are to be linked together with Minneapolis as the principal place of operation, and that the Soo Line is going to build into Montana early in 1913, President Edmund Pennington of the Soo Line yesterday announced the extension that road will make. Vice President W. G. Bierd of the Minneapolis & St. Louis confirmed a report that Newman Erb has control of the Green Bay & Western. The secret of the financing of the purchasing of the Green Bay & West- ern road by Mr. Erb is out. The Pierson_ syndicate of London is put- ting up the money. Mr. Erb has an option on 18,000 of the 25,000 shares of stock of the Green Bay & Western, High Score Prize $5.00 For the Highest Score $3.00 For ind Highest Score To be given away New Year’s eve., at the new Bowling Alleys next. to the Majestic show building.

The Minneapolis & St. Louis and Towa Central roads, recently merged, have 1,658 miles in operation. The Green Bay & Western has 250 miles and.the Ann Arbor 292 miles with a 55-mile car ferry line. Minneapolis will be the controlling point of the Green Bay & Western, in operation, It will give Minneap- most important development of years. car ferry across Lake Michigan to Pittsburgu and other points e~ct and from the traffic standpoint relative to the flour and grain tonnage is the olis a direct and continuous route via It will mean the eventual removal to Minneapolis of operating and ‘ac- counting officials of the Green Bay & Western, and will add greatly to the prestige of Minneapolis as a railroad center. HERE IS LIMIT OF HARD LUCK. How Man's Reputation for Truthful- ness Was Injured in Family Circle. J. A. Pease, the chief Liberal whip, related at the dinner given to him by the Eighty club that during an all night sitting of the house of commons certain member was, as he thought, sbsent. The gentleman was really present at every division, but he was snatching sleep at intervals in one of the recesses of the house. Mr. Pease, however, not having no- ticed him in the division lobby, sent a telegram to his house at seven o’clock In the morning, saying: “Come down at once and relieve the guard and those at work all night.” The member turned up at his own house at eight o’clock in the morning and expected to find'a warm welcome from his wite and family and a good deal of sympathy for having been in the house all night. But his wife's greeting wa have you been?” He replied: “I have been at the house at an all night sit- tng.” i3 “Now, it's no use telling me lies,” paid the good lady, and she produced from under her pillow Mr. Pease’s tele- gram.—London Evening Standard. BEAR NAMES OF GREAT MEN. Famous Cagnomens Borne by Those of Humble Occupation. The question of what to do with our great men after they have ceased to hold high office is effectively answered In the New York city directory. Accord- Ing to that unimpeachable authority, George Washington is pursulng the humble but very useful occupation of 8 ‘barber in Harlem--and, according ‘to hig customers, he is a good one. An- drew Jackson, whose name has here- tofore ‘been associated with notable military achievement, follows the peaceful calling of a nurse. Abraham Lincoln is° put ‘down as a secretary, William McKinley as a publisher, and James Madion as the secretary of an Important corporation. ‘James Mohroé Is & machinist; Benjamin Hasrisoh a printer; Willlam Henry Harrison a fireman, and Andrew Johnson a sail- maker. Thomas Jefferson is appro- priately in charge of a Tammany club- house; John Adams is a policeman, and John Tyler proudly figures as a gentleman.—Lippincott’s. A Village Power. A Columbus firm had an account ngainst a man in a small country town In Ohio, and after ineffectual attempts to collect determined to do something radical. So they wrote a letter to the postmaster of the town and asked Information concerning the merchant; what his reputation was, whether he paid his bills and what kind of & man he was generally, and said if he was no good to give the bill, which they Inclosed, to:the justice” of the peace for collection. The answer they gof from the postmaster took their breath away. It read something like this: “Gentlemen: .I am the John Smith about ‘whom you are seeking informa- tion: ‘I Xm’ o John Smith, post- piaster, And T am John Smith, justice of the peace. Yours very truly, “JOHN SMITH.” Indians with Beards. It has been written over and over agtin that the North American Indian was always beardless. New light comes froth an unearthed letter from Capt. Amos Stoddard, United States Artil- lery and Engineers, in 1806, to Dr. Mitchell of New London, Conn., in which Stoddard tells of a tribe of “yellow men, not in the least tawny, who lived near the'lake on the west side of the Rocky or Shinning moun- tains, and who wore their beards, and & great number of whom had red hair on their heads.” They were great ex- perts with the bow and arrow. The lake referred to must have been Klat- head lake, in northwestern Montani Immense Electric Machine. The largest static electric macline ever built. is owned by a New York physician, and is six feet high overiall, seven feet long and four feet wide, welghing 660 pounds. It has 40 glass discs, each 40 inches in diameter, of which 20 revolve, while the others re- main statiopary. It is driven by an electric’ motor of onefourth horse power, being first excited by a small auxiliary hand machine, and at nm speed may yield a spark 30 inches long and three-fourths of an inch in diameter. To fully excite the huge machine roql.g]m from five to ten min- utes, the charge, however, being re- tained for ag 'much as 12 to 16 hours. 2 R e Willing to Be Sacrificed.

Even among the pioneers of Towa, California and Minnesota many names can be found whose bearers were first Americanized .in the settle- ments on the banks of the James and Potomac rivers. Had Virginia retained her original geographical proportions she would rank easily as first in the family of states. Generously prolific of oftshoots from the parent stem, there still remains a goodly crop of sons and daughters under the ancient roof tree, amid the diminished acres of her original domain. In 1860 large- ly more than one-half of the senators and representatives in congress were of Virginia birth, or were the sons or grandsons of men to her manor born. READY WITH ANOTHER SCHEME. Thrifty New Englander Was Bound Not to Lose Money. Nobody had ever had reason to ac- cuse Abel Pond of being dishonest, but he was as sharp a man in a bar- gain as could be found in the country. When the building committee applied to him for a site for the new library, he was ready to sell them a desirable lot—but not at their price. “I couldn’t feel to let it go under $600,” he said, with the mild obsti- nacy that characterized all his deal ings with his fellow men. “It wouldn't be right.” “You ought to be willing to contrib- ute something for such an object,” said the chairman of the committee, “If it’s worth $600, why not let us have it for $500, and call it you've given the other $100?” “M'm, no, I couldn’t do that,” said Mr. Pond, stroking his chin, “but I ‘tell you what I will do. You give me $700 for it, and I'll make out a check for $100 and hand It over to you, so's you can head the list of subscriptions with a good round sum, and kind of ‘wake folks up to their duty.”—Youth's Companion. Women of Ideal Form. There is no longer a perfect type of ‘woman, such as the Greeks admired. There is the ideal short woman,and the ideal tall”woman, but. they are very different:: “Artists say' that the short woman should measure as fol- lows: Height,” 5 feet 4 inches; neéck 123 inches; bust, 36 inches; hips, 37 1inches; waist, 21 inclies; . Stories, below the elbow; 11 inches, which should gradually. taper to six inches around. the ‘wrist. Here are the pro- portions of the correct tall woman: Height, 5- feet 81 inches; bust, 3 inches; waist, 25 inches; hips, - 43 inches; top of arm, 14 inches; wrist, 6 inches; thigh, 22 inches; calf, 14 Inches; ankle, nine inchea. The Spanish Flag In Kansas. In the northwestern part of Repub- Hie county, Kansas, on the site of an old Pawnee Indian village, stands a granite monument " erected by the state, commemorating a unique inei- dent in American history. Here on Beptember - 29, 1806, Gen. Zebulon Pike, leading a straggling band .of American soldlers on an exploring ex- pedition through the-unknown coun- try beyond the Mississippi river, came apon a Pawnee village in which' a Bpanish flag was flying. After much maneuvering and almost at the point of the bayonet Pike forced the Indians, who outnumbered his command ten to one, ‘to haul down. the Spanish flag and holst the Stars and Stripes in its place. At Bannockburn, A splenetic Englishman, trying to badger a Scotchman who was some- thing of a wag, declared that no man of taste would thlnk of remaining any time in such a country as Scotland. “Tastes differ,” = replied the Scot, Buavely. “I'll take ve to a place in Scotland not far frae Stirling whaur thretty thousand of your countrymen ha’ been for 500 years, an’ they've nae thoucht o” leavin’ yet.” No Need To. “Do you know that Mr. Thompson I was just speaking to?” asked the lady 8t the tea party of the ome standing Dext to her. “Oh, yes.” “I suppose he mays those sweet things to all the women he meets?” “No; he never says them to me.” And you know him?” 3 m his - wife!”—Stray No Half-Way Measures. “1 tried ‘to compliment thai singer but he seems offended.” “What did you say?” “I said I considered him the greatest living tenor.” “You should have told him that he is the greatest tenor that ever lived and that after his death real music can survive only by means of the phono- graph.” ‘opera Unconsclous Vulgarity.
