M JUST GOHE ORE OF REVOLTS Harked by Unrest Involving the Entire World. "REBELS" ALWAYS VICTORS CMim and Mkin Rwoluttona and Strife Against Graft and Monop oly Graat Strxiaa Mad in Aviation. VTbwa th historian of ta tutor reo ords ut avaata ot U yar 1911. ha tU ly particular s trass on U poli tical and aoctal anest throughout tha vrorM. Thla waa aot confined to any oaa country, aor to a fw countries; It was world-vrtoo, iavolvisg practical ly vr tattoo, both civlliied and un otvUtacd. It Included revolutions acain&t loas-etaadios governments, hatUaa ot tabor and capital, vara be tween different aatiocs and. in short, vervthlrt- that could be branded aa etrlfe afaiast listing conditions or grovins condition. Moat aisnlficant of all the events ot th vear was tha explosion in open rebellion ot tha hatred, that had been accumulating through th ages, of tha Chines against the despotic Manchu dynasty. Passive, unresisting, jet at tha sam time loathing and despising tie power that bald them in subject , Ion. th millions in the Far East em pire had for centuries submitted to being trodden on by unreasoning, over bearing, all-potent self-styled demi gods. But China was gradually awak ening and, when th first flames of revolution burst forth, tt was the sig nal for the conflagration to become general. Rebels th Winners Everywhere. But th Chines insurrection was but a larger edition ot dozens, yea, acorea. ot upheavals of various kinds t& other parts ot th world. They Wok forth with such suddenness that tt waa almost Impossible to realize what was occurring until the whole thing was over. Without exception, very one of the great disturbances of tha year that reached an ultimate re sult, wound up in favor of the party or element rebelling against the con dition. In not on did the defense win over th offense. The Mexican revolution, near to our own doors, was a striking example ot the overturn of regime. Nearer still was the successful culmination ot the battle for statehood ot Arizona and New Mexico. . . Other struggles of equal magnitude developed during the year, many f them" with sensational effect, in which th issue is still being fought. Among these are th battl between labor and capital, the "people" and monopoly, and advocates ot popular government aa opposed to representative govern ment. Campaign on graft have been waged with fierc resolution by city, state and federal authorities, not only tn all corners of th United States, but abroad as well. The McNamar fyaanilticg case, th growth of sentiment for popular elec tion ot all federal officials, the prog ress ot th mmaa suffrage movement, trust prosecutions, th campaign for currency reform and that for lower tariffs all these typify the unrest that exists la our own country. Year's Important Evanta. Aside front th numberless conflicts, taany noteworthy things have been penned in th diary ot 1911. Science haa witnessed vast strides, particularly tn th field ot aviation. Th flights ot Ataood from St. Louis to New York and ot Rod sera from New Tork to Pas adena, CaL. war the crowning aefctoveeaeats In this Una.

Again th Poor Fat Man. Among the passengers on a down town car the other evening were a fat man. a lean man, who proved to be deaf, and a couple of giggly girls. On one of the side streets a German band was engaged in making life miserable for the residents of the. neighborhood. The fat man shifted uneasily tn his seat and remarked sarcastically to th lean man in a low tone, "Music!" The lean man put his hand to his ear and said. "Eh?" "Music." repeated the man In load er tones. "Beg pardon, I am not able to bear," said the lean man. "Music," yelled the tat man. so loud that th passengers alt tittered and the little giggly girla all grew red tn the face, "Oh," said th lean man aa h turned around and looked about aim. The little German band was out ot sight by this time, and th passengers laughed immoderately at the vain at tempts of the unfortunate man to find th object of th fat man's comments. Fat men are proverbially good na tured. and by that time the oddity of the situation had dawned upon tills particular fat man. "Hum," he said, "yon folks needn't laugh. Our friend saw fully as much music as you and I heard." Natural Timepiece. There ts no need for docks on th Aegean sea any day when th son ta shining. There nature has arranged her only timepiece, one that doe not vary though th centuries pass. Tula natural time marker is th largest sun dial In the world. Projecting Into ta blue waters ot th sea Is a large pro montory which lifts its head 3,000 teet above the wave. Aa the sun swings round, th pointed shadow of the mountain Just touches one after the other a number of small tsianda, which are at exact distance apart and act as hour marks on th groat dial.

HE LENDS MONEY ON ANIMALS Dr. Martin Potter Take Strang Pledges How One of Then , Buncoed Him. Not even the author of the "Club ot Strange Trades" conceived of an odd er means of livelihood than that of Dr. Martin Potter, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. He runs an animal pawn shop. . If you have a lion that you dont need as badly as you need th money, or want to soak a trained bear for a few weeks, or put up an ele phant until yon hear from home, go around to Dr. Potter. Hell loan yon the money against your live stock and he win not charge you any Interest. But yotfll have to pay the board ot your pledge,- "I Jnst drifted Into th business." said Dr. Potter. "I started out to furnish trained animals to shows. I've rented everything to show men from a troup of thoroughbred horses to a red eyed Numldlan llon. By and by I found that I hd to lend money now and then to my patrons and take their stock In pledge. It was a necessity of the business, but now I like tt." His stables contain elephants and camels if you're a regular showman you'll say cam-u-el and monkeys and a dozen sorts of dogs and all varie ties of the cat tribe and the deuce knows what. And his proudest boast ts that he was never stuck but once. "Fellow borrowed $20 from me on a trick dog," said he. ""Finest dog I ever saw. I d have loaned 3100 on him as easy. But I wasn't shown all that dog's tricks by his owner. That night I found that he had been trained to unlatch the door and get out and his owner had not trained him to come back." RELIGION IS HIS BUSINESS Preacher Knows How It Should Be Transacted and Doe it Better Than Others. In this new movement tt la Inter esting to note the cavalier way In vhich "business men" give the preach ers the back seat. It Is as If these committees said. "Now you clergymen are the best of fellows, but you are ignorant of business methods. It Is high time religion and business prin ciples applied to It. All that Is need ed Is to take right hold of this thing, the empty pew, and run It as we run one of our corporations. Business is business, and these pews can be filled. A factory with a good product only needs business skill to get Its product . on the market. Now watch us do it." Now the preacher's business is re ligion. Why not let him transact it? He has' transacted it up to this time. For centuries he has been miserably paid. He Is often old and pensioned ltn Ali" tjance, and many, ot the "business men" seem not to care. The old-fashioned preacher, in his old fashioned .ways, gave this country a good religious result. That Is the way w seem to . remember our fath ers and mothers aa we sec them. In adoring memory, sitting in the far sway pews. We donbt if "business men witii business methods," a la cor poration, factory-running, double en try and i-oney In the bank, will do better. It strikes us that religion applied to business ts more the need of the hour than business applied to religion. New York Man. THOUGHT HE MEANT TRIPE Mr. Mllla Sadly Misled About Hus band's Diet by Deaf Old Family Doctor. Mr. Mills was ill, and Mrs. Mills sent post haste for th deaf old family doctor, who. responding promptly to th can. looked Mr. MIUs carefully over and decided be was not going to die that time. As the physician took his leave. Mrs. Mills followed him out into the halL "Dr. Grimes." she said. "bow about Albert's diet? You dldnt tell me what I should give him to eat!" The doctor, who had bis deaf side toward his Interrogator, mtatook her question for an inquiry aa to the na ture of Mr. Mills 'disease and replied gruffly and shortly: "Oh. stomach. stomach nothing but stomach." "Dear me!" thought Mrs. Mills, who to not a subtle reasoner. "I suppose. ot course, he mast mean tripe. It's a singular diet, but perhaps Albert's dis ease ts singular." Next day when the doctor called he found the patient much, wore, and at once Inquired what b had bad to "I gav him Just what you told me to." shouted Mm Mills Into the doc tort best ear. "nothing tn th world bat tripe." NOTICE OF ADOPTION. In re Adoption No. 322, of Mauley Fugiei, in the County Court of Lancas ter County, Nebraska.
