TAFT HEARS TEMPERANCE.
AUGUSTA. Ga Dec. 21. President-elect
and Mrs. William H. Taft
attended services yesterday at St.
Paul's Episcopal Church. Rev. Dr.
Whitney, the pastor, preached a tem
perance sermon, as did all other lo
. d ministers here. The laxity of en
forcing the state prohibition laws of
Georgia la given as the cause of the
crusade In Augusta.
Mr. Whitney frankly admitted the
law tn ha "had in nart. drastic and In
some respects fanatical. Neverthe
less," he said, "It is the law, and
nnrht to be obeyed. It It Is a bad
law. Its rlald enforcement Is the
- surest means ot getting It repealed
. or amended."

"Jlmuite!"
Little Mrs. Hurrou's voice rose shrill
and auttutsbed.
"1 dou't care. Insisted Jimmy Bar
ron. "1 said darn that lock, and you
ought to be glad that I said no more!" f
"It Is the first time you ever darned j
anything I wanted you to do re
proached Mrs. Burrun. "You don't
love uie any more, Jimmy.
"Great heaven'!' cried the exasper
ated Barron. "Of course I love you.
Nettle, but when you ask me to slop
and fix this luck when' I have an up
polntmeut with Chllvers at the otUce
at 10. Anyhow, it's the Junltor's busi
ness to keep the locks In repair."
Nettle turned away with a tittle,
hurt cry. This was worse than the
remark which had started tbe trouble.
To leave her to the tender mercies
of the Janitor was rubbing salt In the
"I H4VB Will TO HOTBEB'a.
wounds, and as Barron gave his wife
a hasty kiss and hurried down the
stairs be told himself that be would
send a locksmith around to attend to
tbe matter at once. v
Of course the Janitor was there to !
make repairs for tbe tenants, but be
waa a surly fellow whose breath
amelled strongly ot drink, and Nettle
Barron waa afraid to admit him to
tbe cozy little apartment they called
home.
For more than a week they had been
having trouble with the lock that Bar
ron bad added to tbe fastenings pro
vided by tbe landlord. There was a
burglar ware In the city, and apart
ment houses were the favorite points
of attack.
Jitnuile felt that, buviug spent tbe
better part of Sunday afternoou put
ling the lock on. Nettie could not very
well expect hlui to keep it in reitulr.
Thus had started tbe first quurrel
they bad bad since their marriage, and ;
Barrou took the car downtown fceliug i
uuytbiug but at ease with all the
world.
Tbe Chllvers interview was aalisfac-
lory In tbe extreme. It was late in tbe i
aftemoou wbeu the details were cou-1
eluded, and Jiuiniie bad entered uHn ;
a contract which meant the successful j
outcome of tbe business veuture in
which be bad engaged. j
To cap tbe climax It had been sr-1
ranged that Chllvers, who was an out !
of town man. abould spend the evening
at the club with Jllumie. so it was past
midnight when Barron reached home.
Tbe elevator stopped running at 1"
o'clock, and Jiuimie toiled up tbe three
flights of stairs to his apartment.
Pinned to tbe door was a abeet of pa
per and on It the words. "I have gone
to mother's."
Jlmmle felt tbe cold perspiration be
dew his forehead. It bad come. then.
He always had thought that "going to
mother's" was merely a creation of the
newspaper humorist, but it was true.
Nettle bad probably grieved over bis
refusal to nx the lock and had ended
by going bonie to ber mother.
Mecbitnlcully be turned and descend-
ed the stairs. He did not want to en
ter the deserted apartment. It was
borne no longer with Nettle gone. He
did not know Just where be wanted to
go or what be wanted to do. but he
wanted to get away from tbe place
where they bad been so hsppy togeth
er; he-wanted to walk In tbe cool night
air and to realize what it alt meant to
him. He was passionately attached to
Nettle, and be bad not dreamed tlfat
they ever could be separated.
He thought dumbly of tbe dark, si
lent apartment and shuddered. He
would bave to move from there and go
to a hotel to live. He never could en
ter the deserted home again. It would
be like violating tbe tomb of their
dead happiness. j
He did not blame Nettle, but he bit-!
terly repronched himself. He knew j
how timid Nettle wns. She had feared I
tbe surly looking janitor, and she 1
could not even speak of burglars with-1
out a little shudder, and ber busband i
had brutally told ber that he would be I
darned If he would fix the door and j
had flung away, lenvlng her with only ;
the Insecure protection of the flimsy j
lock provided by the landlord. And J
this wns a lock that even a child could
open with the blade of a knife when '
the Talc lock would not work.
rerhaps the burglars had come. He
rather hoped they had. He hoped thst
they had 'taken everything. It would
be horrible to have to give directions
tor the storage of the furniture which
they had selected with such loving
care. j
There waa a sentiment attached to
every cbalr. and tears started In his
tired eyes as he remembered the little
footstool Nettle hsd Insisted upon buy.
Ing. though she would not tell him
what she wished it so psrtlcnlsrly for.
It had become her fsvorlte seal
when be came In th-cd from the ofltce.
and she coddled down against bis side,
the golden bead resting comfortably
on bis shoulder while be told her the
story of his dsy. He changed his
mind about tbe burglars. He did Dot
want tbem to carry oat the Uttle foot-
As he pondered tbe situation Jim
mle trudged onward and gave no heed
to bis direction. It was almost with a
shock that he found himself turning
In at a gate and realized that mechan
ically be had walked all tbe way to
Nettle's mother's, three long miles.
There was a light In the window of
the room that had been Kettle's In
their courtship days, fie recalled the
nfKUts when be had passed the bouse
Just to see tbe light In the window and
to know that all was well with her.
Now there was the light, but noth
ing was well. For an Instant a wo-
man', form was silhouetted ,Kttln,, !
tho shade, and Barron came to a sud-
den decision. There was un all ulgbt
drug atore on the corner. He would
call her up and sue for pardon.
It seemed hours before there was an
answer 10 pu riiiKiuif. "ui la"1 11
came, and It was Nettle's sweetly se
rious voice tbat replied.
"It's Jlmmle." be said brokenly. "I
got your note."
"It served you right," sold Nettie
severely.
"I know It does," admitted Barron.
"I really meant to send a man around,
but tbe Chllvers matter drove the
thought from my head and I forgot
all about it."
"You bave only yourself to blame,"
she reminded. "I asked you hundreds
of times to fix the lock."
"Otjly about eight," corrected Bar
ron", "but I waa I brute not to' do It
the first time you asked. After this
you won't have to ask me to do A
thing a second time, dear."
Barron regarded himself In tbe mir
rored wall contentedly. It was an In
spiration to treat tbe matter as though
there had been no separation.
"Did the burglars get In?" asked
Nettle interestedly.
"I don't think so." waa the eager re
sponse. "But look here. Nettle. If I
promised tbat I will always do tbe
thing yon ask me to will yon be
friends again, dearf When I came
home and found that you had left
me 1 broke down. I walked out here
from our place and never realized
tbat 1 had walked so far until I
fonnd myself turning In at your gate."
There waa a choking sound over the
wire, and Jlmmle looked hopeful. If
she was crying it waa a sign that she
might relent
"Where are you now?" asked the
voice.
"Down at the corner," waa the
prompt reply. "Won't yon let me
come over and see yon. dear?"
"You may come." assented Nettle,
and Jlmmle tore out of the place
without even stopping to bang up the
receiver. He sped up the street, and
a few momenta later he was on the
steps and Nettle was standing In the
doorway to welcome him.
Aa the door closed behind tbem a
pair of soft arma were thrown about
hie neck and soft lips pressed his
cheek.
"Jlmmle. you're the absurdest boy,"
declared tbe little wife lovingly. "You
didn't even try to get In the flat, did
your1
"Wbnt was tbe use when you were
not there, sweethesrt?" be asked
fondly.
"You would have found out why I
came to mother's," she explained.
"Your horrid lock worked when 1
went out. but when I came borne not
even the Janitor could make It un
lock, and It was too late to find a
locksmith, .so I came on to mother's
and left that note for you."
"And yon were not ancry? You
didn't leave me?" demanded Jlmmle.
"How could I?" she asked simply.
"You were a bad boy, Jlmmle. but I
love you, dear."
Jlmmle took ber in bis arms. "I
want you alwaya to love me." he said,
"and I'm going to buy yon a dozen
locks tn tbe morning. What la that
quotation about love and tbe lock
smith?" Up a 8tsrfish Ladder.
Fishermen say that stnrflshos are
gregarious; that you might find on the
bottom an acre covered 89 thick with
them that you couldn't walk without
atepptng on them, but not find another
starfish for hundreds of acres around.
This cbsracteristlc gregarlousness tbe
starfishes In captivity at tbe aquarium
sometimes show, a when they assem
ble, as they may, all In one corner of
tbe tank In the angle, tightly holding
on there, one above another Irregular
ly, but still close together from the
bottom of the tank to the top. .
And when they bare assembled thus
you may see another curious thing
there nsmely. green crabs climbing
from tbe bottom to the top of the
tank up this starfish ladder. The
green crab Is not one of tbe swim
ming crabs. When It goes anywhere
It has to walk or climb, and so on the
bottom It walks along, to climb when
It comes to rocks or other obstructions.
It cannot, however, climb up a .verti
cal wall like that of a tank. But here
the starfishes, one above another In
the corner, make with their bodies
and projecting arms convenient ridges
that tbe green crabs can hold on by.
and so they climb there up this star

that the strike situation Is forced on
them by reason of needless cuts in
the selling price of glass by the man

the basis of a sliding scale, each cut
reduces-their compensation. Tbe
men demand a fixed wage scale
which averages about 25 per cent

NEW EVIDENCE IN HAIXS CASE.
Mrs. William Anuis Win On Stauil
for Nearly Three Hours.
FLUSHING, N. J., Dec. 21. Tile
trial of Thornton J. Halns reached a
climax today when Mrs. William E.
Annis, In a recital lasting near;-
three hours, pictured the killing ot
her husband by Captain Halns. Mrs.
Annls nearly fainted a few minute,
before her examination was conclud
ed, but quickly recovered.
It was a hard day for the detente
and the counsel for Hains was ex
hausted by the cross-examination,
which was directed toward the,
state's witnesses In an effort to shake
their testimony. Thornton Haiia
lost much of. the easy nocnahalance
that has characterized his manner.
When led from the court the pris
oner appeared dejected and care
worn. Mra. Annis made an Impres
sive figure on the witness stand us
she told In the quietest of tones ber
story of August 16 at the Baycide
club.
"When Annls' boat came along
side the float," the widow testified,
"Thornton beckoned to his brolher
and led the way down the runway.
The shooting followed within a few
minutes."
Lawyer Mclntyre sought to dis
credit "beckoning," which the state
asserts proves the author Induce! the
army officer to commit the crime
and kept Mrs. Annls on this point
under cross-examination nearly halt
an hour. Hains' counsel developed
that Mrs. Annls had not until lust
week told District Attorney Darrlng
that the defendant beckoned to his
brother.
"I ran down the runway and
Thornton Halns pointed his rc'Jlver
at me. I turned to go back and he
pressed the weapon against my back.
ssylng, 'You get out of hero or
you'll get the same:' I ran up the
runway and looking back saw my
husband falling Into the water."
So said Mrs. Annls, relating her
story, and that was the new evidence
the lawyers for Halns strugnled vUn
ly to discredit.
NEW MEXICO WANTS IX.

dustrial and Intelligent population

ior, made public today.
Governor Curry saya New Mexico's

msr the record ot Its Industries; the
lawa enacted by its legislature are

Sunday closing rigorously enforced.
