OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER FOR JANUARY. John, John, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away he run, But where he had the time before Been hotly followed through the door And down the street with cries of "Thief!" And in the windup came to grief, He was amazed this time to hear Them say, "There goes a At which the sheriff by the way Applauded where another day He had put after him, and men Who had with exclamations then Dashed after him, an angry crowd, Made way for him, and smiled and bowed With all the homage rendered pelf, Till John just had to pinch himself. He reached the calaboose at last, And when the jailer's daughter cast A dozen roses in his path asked him for his photograph, And all the thieves began to shout Appeals to him to get them out, Suspicion had become so strong That John knew there was something wrong. And so there was, as they with mirth Explained to him: Th Fig was worth Two-bits a pound, and stealing it Was not mere thieving, but a bit Of high finance, for which there is No penalty. The pig was his, And not the butcher's, like the time When pork was selling at a dime.

January gets its name from Janus Bifrons, a famous Roman explorer. Two-faced Janus, as he is known, claimed to have reached the North Pole as early as 23 B. but he could not Copenhagen with the wisdom of that learned city, and they put the den mark on him. March was at that time the beginning of the year. This month was named for the great war god of the Romans, but Numa said that inasmuch as liars were first at the pole and everywhere else they might as well be first in the calendar, too, and January was made the first month.

Subsequently Caesar increased the number of days in it from 29 to 31. He was to retire from the imperatorship the last of the month, and wanted to squeeze five pay days into it.

The thrifty populace will sift the ashes for its fuel, and the plutocrat will wear a piece of bacon for a jewel. The wind will smite the house with its refrigerated drizzle, and Boreas will work around hte windows with a chisel. The plumber will run in and out at 50 cents a minute, and the moving van will come around with seven bailiffs in it. It is a cheerful time of year, there is no doubt about it, and winter's such a hit with us we could not do without it. The shaggy calf backed the stack of straw around his plumbing would bawl his heart out if he thought the gentle spring were coming.

He'd hate to see the grass grow green and hear the birdies warble, or greet the passing tumblebug backpedaling his marble. He wouldn't give a whoop outdoors to gambol on the clover and dance the raz-pa-taz until exhaustion bowls him over. He loves the way his ribs stick out and rattle in the blizzard, and dotes upon the piece of ice he's using for a gizzard. The tempest and the paucity of sustenance delight him and he dearly loves to wonder where the Arctic next will bite him. The sign of the zodiac for January will be Halley's comet, which is now bearing down upon the rate of about 1200 miles a minute.

The coming of this comet has been awaited with a great deal of satisfaction by people who believe that Providence cares for its own. It is a very strange and terrifying sight, and upon former occasions it has frightened wicked out of their boots. Halleylulliah, which is the first repentant exclamation of a sinner, originated in this way, and there is tremendous curiosity to see if people like Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Morgan and Hellandam Cannon will say halleylulliah when they see it.

Halley's comet was last visible in 1835, which was known as the year of repentance. All the trusts voluntarily busted themselves that year, people who had been grasp ing gave great sums of money back, and everybody was enthusiastic about the golden rule. The comet is a kind of star with a nebulous beard. It is going to be a great factor in our lives for a while. It has no regular orbit, but is a kind of providential policeman-at large.

Wherever there is an inclination upon the part of a few inhabitants of a planet to make the rest of the inhabitants get off, the comet bobs up and makes a demonstration such as we shall here for a few months. This generally puts the fear ought to be in everybody's heart there or thereabouts. In May, which ends the fiscal year of the Standard Oil the United States Steel Corporation and some others, the comet will approach as close as 5,000,000 miles. The National Geographical society will meet on the 20th and decide what reparation shall be made to Peary. It is thought that the agreement will be to make Cook write his confession, compel everybody who was for Cook to buy a copy of the book and give Peary the proceeds: Then February will return Upon its merry round, And the groundhog will emerge to tell What's doing underground.

GUARANTY LAW SUFFERS. For the past two weeks there has been considerable discussion in banking circles concerning the decision by Judge Pollock of the federal court which practically suspends the operation of the Kansas guaranty law. Of course, anyone just remembering that the case came before Pollock could shut his eyes and in one guess tell what the outcome would be. A law that the people want is the last thing Pollock wants, if he can find the least technicality that will give him a chance to annul it. In this day states and the people within states have no rights that the federal government is bound to respect, and so, if ever there is a question between people and property, property gets the benefit of all doubts.

The order of the learned judge is law, until the highest coourt shall have passed on it. The state may put up a forfeit sum of $50,00, however, and go on with the law until the higher court has passed on it, this penal forfeit to come out of the pockets of the taxpayers in case it has to be paid. There were three cases bunched in the decision. Frank Larrabee of Hutchinson, whose board of directors had voted to have their bank come under the guaranty law, against his consent, asked for an injunction preventing them from doing so. The court ruled in his case that no board could take its bank under the law unless all directors assentedwhich is equivalent to saying that the board could not take out any fire insurance or burglar protection or do anything else necessary or advisable for the benefit of the depositors so long as one director like Larrabee objected.

Larrabee was too cowardly to take his little old case before a state court, but ran immediately before the federal court of Judge Pollock, an ex-corporation attorney whose dirty career in Okla. has just been fulsomely exposed off the record itself, and who got his job thru the influence of the late but not lamented Senator Long of the Union Pacific for the especial benefit of the big interests Long represented in congress. Larrabee is opposed to giving his depositors any kind of protection, even such as is afforded by the present state law in its incompleteness. The second case was brot by those of the state banks who, like Mr. Larrabee, were ferningt the law, and who thot the other state banks, who were willing to abide by it, might be getting too much of an advantage.

In that case the judge had nothing to pass on but the silly and almost contemptibly trivial quarrel of a lot of selfish schoolboys, and SO he threw it out of court. The third case wals brot by the national banks, some of whom had fought the guaranty law all thru, and as soon as it went into effect, not being able to get in on it very well, organized an insurance company of their own along the same lines--the principal difference being that their organization pays its own officers, while the state pays those of the other folks. They had determined to crush the law which- -even as it wals -gave the state banks a little show, and framed up a plea that it was unconstitutional. They were favored by the judge with a fine decision, as was to be expected, for few state laws demanded by the general public and designed for its benefit have much of a show in the federal courts whose judges, under the present system of party rule, are picked from among railroad attorneys and Standard Oil counsel. The outcome of it for the present is to suspend the guaranty law.

The national banks, however, who have a voluntary guaranty organization of their own, built on about the same plans as laid down in the state law they fought, will continue to be guaranteed, after a fashion. Which is what they were driving at--to get an advantage, if any there be, over the state banks. The action of the nationals who indulged in this almost incredible bit of shortsightedness, however, may have an entirely opposite effect from the one intended, for the general public will hardly see why the nationals engaged should fight a guaranty law which applies to state banks and voluntarily adopt one which applies to themselves alone. And the public may draw the wrong conclusion. The bank commissioner has announced his intention to fight the case thru to the highest court.

But maybe, when the legislature gets a chanec at it, it will pass a new law carefully framed up to be compulsory and at the same time not in contradiction of that useful and valuable fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution which can be made to shelter almost any old sort of a corporation from any sort of regulation. For, mind you, altho the present state law is "voluntary," Judge Pollock holds that the state's taking of the guaranty fee with the full and voluntary consent of the men who pay it, it is nevertheless "depriving them of life, liberty or property without due process of law." Quod erat OBSERVED IN PASSING Medicine Lodge has a contractor named 0. U. Kidd. But, dear girl- ies, he's married.

The brother of the alleged poet, Watson, says that Watson is insane. Well, that makes it about unanimous, doesn't it? There is one woman in town who knows by telepathy what her neighbors are doing and saying, and where they are, and what they are thinking. But she does not know where her sixteen-year-old son spends his evenings, or what he is doing. "The salt, coal and iron of the Kingman salt plant is being closed out and the company will quit. Well, Kingman has Iron-jaw Brown, a good share of the Salt of the Earth in A.

R. Hansmann, and the town gets coal on the extra train over the W. -Newton Journal. Thanks, brother; that is quite the first time we have ever been referred to as the "salt" of the earth. Some folks, even in Kingman, have told us we were the tabasco sauce, some say the limburger cheese, some say the hot tamale.

We live in a town where much of the milk of human kindness flows, and SO they let us live and have our being in their midst. We often wonder how we shall ever get even with these good people for their uniform kindness to us at all times. GOOD THINGS TO READ, If you have the blues, read the im-twenty-seventh Psalm. If your pocket book is empty read the thirty-seventh Psalm. If people seem unkind read the fifteenth chapter of John.

If you are discouraged about your work read the one hundred twentysixth Psalm. If you are all out of sorts, read the twelfth chapter of Hebrews. If you can't have your own way in everything, keep silent and read the third chapter of James. If you are losing confidence in men read the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. -Ram's Horn.

McCue was postmistress at the time of her death, keeping the office in her own home. She had taken more than usual interest in Christmas, buying each member of the family a. present. She, had made a variety of cakes and. pies, dressed a turkey and was well prepared for her Christmas dinner, happy and joyous.

At. sundown she was taken violently ill. Everything that loving hands could do was done. The doctor worked with her four hours, but at 1:30 o'clock Christmas morning her spirit: took its flight and the happy home of hte day before was one of the deepest sorrow, fro the mother's place none other on earth can fill. To know her was to love her.

She was a faithful, devoted wife and mother. She leaves her aged parents, three sisters, four brothers and a host of other: relatives and friends. But to the heart-broken husband and five small children the loss is almost unbearable- the home SO lonely, the vacant place; no one to answer to the call of "Where is mamma?"
