HALF AN APOLOGY.
Taft Discusses Quarrel With Ex-Chief
Engineer Wallace.

Washington, d c., Dec. 8. - Secre-
tary of War Taft in his annual report
presented to President Roosevelt today
makes a tentative apology to ex- Chief
Engineer Wallace for any injustice he
might have done him in the indignant
remarks he made at the time Mr.. Wal
lace resigned from the Canal commits
sion, having received an offer of more
than double the salary the government
was paying him to come back to this
country. Mr.. Wallace had been only
six days at Panama when he resigned,
as Secretary Taft says, greatly embar-
RAISING the commission in forcing it to
find another man to take his place.
The secretary of war spoke hotly at the
time, accusing Mr.. Wallace OF being
$50 subject to pecuniary motives that
l did not think his continuing his re-
lations with the commission would be
of any service to u.s."
Since that time, it seems, Mr.. Wal
lace has further explained his motives
for resigning in such an untimely man
ner, but obviously in no satisfactory
way to Mr.. Taft, however.

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Washington Members Ask Fair Share
Of irrigation Fund.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Washing
ton delegation called on the president
today to interest him in Washington
irrigation projects. They explained
the situation fully, showing that Wash
ington, after contributing So, 900, 900 to
the reclamation fund, had received no
benefit as yet, and had mere promise
of the expenditure of 100000 for con-
struction of the Okanogans project.
They said Washington should not be
restricted to the benefit of 81 per cent
of the amount contributed to the recla-
nation fund, inasmuch as tie Recla-
nation service has recommended the
adoption of the Tietan and Sunnyside
projects.
The president said he had very
kindly feeling for Washington, and was
much interested in some things he was
told. He promised to 60 over the mat
ter with the director o. the geological
survey tomorrow, and the delegation is
hopeful that as result of that confer
ence the president will direct the ap-
proval of these two projects.
The delegation wants $1.0OO,OOO for
the Tietan, and at least $75O,0OO to
start the Snnyside project.

What q Holiday Ought to Be.

Gen. Ferdinand w. Peck, the Chi
cago capitalist, says, according to the
New York Globe, that the way the av-
erage man spends his annual vacation
Is all wrong.
Its only now and them" he said,
that a man finds out what holiday
ought to be. We all think that it
means going away from home, drink
ing more or less and wearing our
bodies out by walking, or cycling, or
mountain climbing, or something like
that That sort Of thing is supposed
to be a great rest to tired man who
works with his brains. How a vaca
tion spent in that way could possibly
be of benefit to a professional man
who has to use his brains l have never
been able to understand. Very likely
professional ass might be benefited
In that way, but it's all nonsense to
say that 1t rests a lawyers, or editors,
or authors, or even politicians
brains. In my opinion, the best and
most beneficial way in the world for
the man who makes his living solely
by the use Of his gray matter to spend
his holidays Is simply to do the gentle
loaf in some green and shady spot far
away from the madding crowd, and to
keep himself in touch with the out
side world by having his favorite
newspaper mailed to him every day"

CHAPTER XIV.

Ethel was certainly very courageous.
She was also strong, young and healthy,
and had an unusual amount of self-pride,
all of which kept her from giving way
under the load of grief that came upon
her after Jacks faithless behavior. But
she felt her sorrow none the less deeply,
and hid it from her fathers sight
Captain Pelling had been away nearly
q week on visit to an old friend, and
Ethel was feeling the daily monOtony Of
her life very irksOme as she once more
set about making her fathers coffee.
There were letters on the table. but
she did not feel particularly curious
about them As she placed the coffee pot
on the table the writing on the envelope
next to her own plate caught her eyes.
The blood rushed to her face, and, with
nervous haste she picked up the envelope
and opened it. She read the invitation
card. and the flush fade slowly. leaving
an expression of sOrrowful contempt on
her face.
Poor Jack" she sighed. IL wonder
IL he thinks d few ciyilities Of this kind
will make amends for his conduct in the
past? Does he imagine he can repay me
for the loss of bis love by holding out
the hand of friendly patrOnagei Can
he believe Il would give me pleasure to
spend an evening in watching his atten-
lions TO his handsome hostess" She
threw the card from her with an impa-
tient sigh. How contemptibly foolish IT
n of me to care so much after all this
dime! Perhaps dad would like to see his
