That man LTntermy«r is sofnething
of a lawyer. He is able to cope with
the shrewdest of the big financiers
and managers of "big business," and
on their own chosen ground. When
he gets through with a witness the
facts are pretty well drawn out, and
•o tar, none of them have gotten by
htm.
A warning Is Issued by Mils Kate
Daffan, against persons who profess
to be collecting money for the Con-
federate Women's home, at .Austin
Miss D&ffaa, who Is at the head of
Hie Institution, declare* that absolute-
ly no one Is authorised to solicit for
this cause, as It is a state institution,
and has no collectors out.
A town up in Wisconsin has created
the office of "Official Ranker." The
incumbent is described as a man
with ample muscular paver and with
kindliness In his naturs mixed with
firmness in dealing with thoss who
would defy him. Truants, street
rurin«rs, petty thieves, swearers and
II others of single or oothbined cussed-
Aess. who are beyond tba control of
parents. Will be his meat. A very
potent power la plaoed in his hands.
Of prosecuting parents who refuse to
eWsreis* control over their children.

There are two sides to the pension-
ing of employe* who grow old In the
Servloe of a corporation or business
which employs many men. Kindly
t»— motives are not overloked when it Is
analysed that as a business move
nothing could come cheeper to the
employers of labor. The certainty of
provision being roada far old ate,
and of long and faithful service with
the one Institution being rewarded,
are inducements to an employe to not
only give good service, but to think
a lot of holding hie jeb. Under the
lohg service and old age pension sys-
tem. the man who is serious In his
ways of thinking will be slow to quit
the employment. He will be a con-
servative factor In the discussion of
any troubles which may come up.
and his allegiance will be at least par-
tially given to the source of his pres-
ent and future prosperity Pensions
are cheap. In the consideration of the
benefits flowing both ways.

When the day Is dark and cloudy
Does your heart take on the hue
Of the weather all around you—
Do your thoughts get cloudy, too?
Or, do you forget the darkness
Of the clouds that hang o'erhad;
Through the mists and through the
shadows
Does your life its light-rays shed?
Probably everybody reads with in-
terest the reports of the testimony
given before the "money trust" In-
vestigating committee by J Pierpcnt
Morgan, the head of the big financial
combinations of the country. Mr
Morgan has been a free witness, not
Seeking to avoid giving information.
His viewpoint is highly interesting,
and as brought out in the examina-
tion. there .s evident sincerity In his
belief that the welfare of the whole
people is bound up in the successes
of the big institutions centering In
New York. Denying control of
money, of credits and of people his
explanations drive deeper and deeper
the facts in the case, that he does ex-
ercise such i ontrol, and in degree not
before appreciated by the uninitiated
According to Mr Morgan, a few men,
in charge of the Industries of the
country, and with power to manipu-
late every branch of business, prices
and occupations, should be allowed to
remain in their position, with trust
that they would care for the common
people as a kind father would provide
for his household. In that view Mr.
Morgan seems sincere, and undoubt-
edly, in the administration of his
great powers he has often managed
affairs to tvhat he thought was the
best Interests of the country, without
recognizing that the dragons he
would be slaying were Frankenstein
monsters, with existence due to the
very powers engaged in the combat
, Who is going to get the prise in
the Jingle Conteet Is still the unknown
quantity
On a sunshiny day, what the Cltl-
ten might say about the unpaved por-
tion of the streets of Temple becomes
a little mild but following a rainy
day it is more emphatic.
What the prise is to be and when
the contest will close will be announc-
ed tomorrow. The winner of the prise
Will be announced on the' day fol-
lowing the close of the contest. Send
the line to complete this limerick:

WHAT WE KNOW!
The general public has but little idea of how often there
is put to us this question—"What do yam kaow about So-and-So;
is he reliable, steady, honest and in ether ways calculated to be
the man I want for an Important position"?
Now, Young Klan, and Older Man, upon what do you sup-
pose we base our replies to such questions?
And rest assured, we are very careful about recommending.
Also, in order to give a good man his just dues, we must know
something about him ourselves. •

Dear Mr. Jingle Editor:
There • is only one thing to do in
this matter—the following two lines,
I think, will solve the problem:
A citizen said. "I'm just craving
To see this old town do some paving. '
Whenever it rained
He felt quite constrained
To donate some cash and stop the
raving. (
Or—
To pay his part without misbehaving.
Hoping this will meet the approval
of both press and public, I beg to
remain.
Yours very truly,

A HAPPY DAY.
(Charley Durham.)
Hey there, you kid, what makes you
cry?
Did you get something in your eye?
Or hurt your hand, or stub your toe?
Come, tell me, 'cause I want to know.
And If you did, why, bless your time,
We'll take this blamed old rusty
dime,
And buy some salve, or maybe some
Of that fed candy, or some gum.
Now, won't you tell? Then I will
guess,
And if I'm right, you must confess,
'Cause that's the way the others did
When I was but a little kid,
And had to sell ev'ry last one
Of them newspapers 'fore I'se dona.
Or do without my supper, sure,
j Sometimes 'twas all 1 could endura.
But dad was gone, and mamma too,
There's nothing else for me to do,
But just keep on a-worklng hard
And do the best I could, old pard.
But Santa Is in town again,
And, by gum, kid, let's take him In.
We will just 'vide up here today.
And aee whatever comes our way.
Tou've twenty cents? Qee, that'a a
lot
Here'a five centa more to awell the
pot;
That makes two-bits and just enough
Tq buy a drum, you little tough;
But than you keep on crying ao
I hardly think you want to go.
What'a that? Tou have a als up
there
That wanta to see old Santa's hair.
And you have not enough of fara
To take both of you over there?
And she Is five and you are eight?
Well, lead me there for we are lata;
Let's hurry 'long, get back 'fore
noon.
For there'll be aomethlng dating
soon.
We'll get back here time Santa does
And my, how we'll make them lays
buss!

To wake her d only make her pout
She had a fine time at the store,
A thing she never knew before?
Well, here's her doll, peanuts and

Qee, 1 am tired, but had more fun
Than any man beneath the sun.

In a letter to General Sickles and the

Sickles recently gave a deed of trust
to his home at 23 Fifth avenue as

Is expected that the members of the

Aviation Safe aa Fr-ot 11.
The striking assertion above is made
In an arucle appearing In the Janu-
ary Popular Mechanics Magaslne,
which tabulates the avtation fatalities
of 1911 and comments on the death
rate among airmen for several years
past. The article states: <
"The number of airmen during each
year. Including all others aa well as
the licensed pilots, works out pretty
closely to five In 1908; SO in 1909; 100
In 1910; 1500 in 1911. and SS«» In
1912.
"Now. makfttg a few simple deduc-
Uons fTom the foregoing data. It ia
easy te calculate that in 1908 there
was a fatality Tor each thousand miles
of flight; In 1909. one fer each 7900
miles; In 191S, one for each 20,900
milea; .In 1911, one fer each 30.000
milea. end, in 1912, one for each 107,-
000 milea. it la equally evident that
In 1908, one In five of the airmen
were Idlled; in 1909; one In IS; In
1910. efte in 17; In 1011. one In >0,
and In 19^. one lb Si.
"On the face ef it, thea, avtation
haa consistently and rapidly Improved
In safety from year to year, until now
tt° Is at least ten times aa unlikely to
klU'a person engaged In It as It was
In 1908. And In spite of this reduced
danger per individual, there la a still
greater reduction of danger per unit
of mileage, 107,000 milea of flight be-
ing now accomplished' with the same
toll of human life that only four years
ago was paid for each thousand miles.
"Yet ninety-nine persons out of ev-
ery hundred are impreaaed with the
idea that aviation which had killed
lesa than a dozen Individuals four
years ago, has grown into something
terribly dangerous, when, as a mat-
ter of fact, aviation commenced as
something very hasardous and has de-
veloped already into something fully
99 per «ent less risky, until now a
flight In an aeroplane Is far safer
than a ride In a racing automobile,
and is only about as hasardous as par-
ticipation in a football game, which,
for numbers and time of Individuals
engaged, rolls up substantially an
equal fatality list." ,
