' MURRAY CRANE TO SUCCEED SENATOR gree ae as nd when it is announced on av- HANNA AS CHAIRMAN. thority that most cigarettes are Announced With Confidence Af- ter a Notable Conference at the White House. Washington, December 19 —What ig regarded as an extremely impor) tant conference, from a_ politics standpoint, took place at the White House this afternoon, the occasion being a luncheon. at which there were five people, all of them figures ~~ of national prominence. It might be called appropriately a mecting of the “big five.” With the President were Secretary Root, Senator Lodge, ex-Gov. Murray Crane, of Massach u- setts, and Secretary Cortelyou. There could hardly be gathered to- gether five men about whose meeting there could be greater significance at this time of political talk and schem- ing. Secretary Root is soon toretire from the cabinet, but he does not do ~~so-in- the sense of severing himself from the political fortunes of the President. Within the Republican family there are po two men whose politic ul advice ia taken more quick- ly than Secretary Root and Secretary Lodge. They are personally and po litically as close to the President as any menin the country. Secretary Cortelyou may be ranked in thesame class. With the practical certainty that ex-Gov. Murray Crane is to be the chairman of the Republican national committee next year, there is much for conjecture in this gathering Senator Hanna having eliminated himeelf from the chairmanship it has been known that the President would ask ex-Gov. Crane to accept the posi- tion. So far ae influence with men of business, wealth and standing in the country is concerned, Mr. Crane is not excelled by Senator Hanna and in political sagacity and statesman- ship he is declared by many to be the equal of the man from Ohio. doped with opium, this connection i~ not hard to understaud. The cigarette is to young boy very much like what whiskey isto grown men. If it does not directly cause crime it at least accompanies it in nine cases out of ten, It must be universally admitted that the majority of young boys ad- dicted to cigarettes are generally re- garded as bad boys, It isan addiction that does not allay itself with the high virtues of manly youth. It leads to bad asso- ciations and bad environment, He must beastrange boy indeed who can derive moral and physical good from cigarettes. Opium is like whiskey—it creates an increasing appetite that grows with what it feeds upon, Even pure tobacco has the sane effect. The growing boy who lets tobacco and opium get a hold upon his senses is never long in coming under the domination of whiskey, too. Tobacco is the boy’s easiest and most direct road to whisky. When opium is added, the young man’s chance of resisting the combined forces and escaping physical, men- tal and moral harm is slim indeed. It is a deadly combination in most cases. There are few, if any, cases in which it is not more or less harm ful. Stomach and nerves and will power weakened for life is the com- mon result, even though the habit finally be mastred. ~ Brain Leaks. The seliish man cannot enjoy Christmas. We step up when we stoop down to help the needy. Old age is a joy when youth has been well spent. Kind words cost nothing, but they buy more than gold. Au hour of do it now is worth a whole day next week. A Christmas gift without love is like salt without savor. Greed for gold cannot live in the same heart with love of the Lord. Living today on tomorrow’s sala- ry is a sure sign of financial indiges- tioa. The average school boy rather en- vies the man who has no hair to comb. Some beliefs that may be pleasant to live by are invariably poor things to die by. Solomon said a great many wise things, but he performed more fool ish things. There is no charity in making lav- ish gifts for the purpose of salving the conscience. The story that should not be told in the presence of ladies is not fit to be heard by gentlemen. We are apt to believe that the man who listens to us and nods assent is above the average iu wisdom. The strong man avoids tempta- tion in order to show his strength- The fool courts it in order to exhibit his weakness. This is the season of year when a lot of men who drauk intoxicants last summer to cool themselves off, drink more to warm themselves up. Girl Accused of Kidnaping a Boy Sionx City lo., Dec. 17.—Because 18 year-old Jessie Lane of Homes, Neb., accepted the offer of 17 year-old Albert Dineen of Yankton, 8S. D., to elope with him, she has been charged with kidnaping the boy. Being of age she is responsible for her action and the law cannot pre- vent her eloping if she wants to do 80, but she has, according to the charge of the boy’s father, John Di- heen, enticed him from his home. She was given the alternative to day of being prosecuted for kidnap ing, of which she might be proved technically guilty, or giving up the young man. She said that whatever happened, _ she would stick close to him and never leave him till he should be her husband. To Banquet on Muskrats.

Liberty, Mo., Dec. 19.—One of the most daring robberies that has oc- curred in Clay county in years took place in the Hannibal & St. Joseph depot here at 2 o'clock this morning Two masked men entered the depot and, seizing C. Cook, the night opera- tor, bound and gagged him. Cook was securely bound the robbers blew open the safe, seeuri g $70. Just as the robbers completed their work a freight train arrived and Cook was released by the condu:tor. The city otticials were notified and & posse started immediately in pur- suit. At noon no trace of the fugi- tives had been found. An hour before the robbery occurr- ed Mr Cook took $1,000 from the safe, fearing that something might happen. The robbersevidently knew that much money was in the safe, as a rule, Digs Up Three Skeletons. Holly Springs, la., Dee. 19.—Three skeletons, believed to be those of members of a prehistoric race, were found here to-day by J. J. Egger. The discovery was made while Mr. Egger was excavating for a cellar. The skeletons were buried in sand overlaid with fifteen feet of black loam, All of them were in sitting postures and in an excellent state of preservation. The skull of one is evidently that of a very old woman. It is much smaller than that of the North Amertean Indian and indicates & low order of intelligence. Thefore- head is low and retreating, the mas- toid processes are uncommonly large, the cheek bones high and the o-ciput bulky. The Smithsonian institution at Washington has been sent a de- scription of the skeletons. Buried es Nchen mecen.
