touch Of a woman's hand and the
tones Of her voice that should be for
him alone. He knew now that he had
ached and sickened In his yearning
for this. and she stood there for him
in the soft night. He knew she was

that the comfort Of her. his TO take,

II now and then gave him an instant
OF uuspeakable JOY. But the sound OF
his own voice calling her Prudence"
would shock him from this as with an
icy blast OF truth.
AS he observed her day by day in
her Joyous growth. It was inevitable
that he came more and more to OBJ
serve the woman who was caring for
her, and II was thus on one night in
late summer that he awoke to an
awful truth,--a truth that brought
back the words OF the woman's former
husband with a new meaning.
He had heard Prudence cay to her.
"You are a pretty mamma" and sud

BUSY SESSION COMING
FOR SECRETARY TAFT
IUAsHINGToN.-It is a busy season

WESTINGHOUSE Is n busy season
W that Secretary Taft will have from
this time on. To discharge what may
be termed his political duties the sec.
rotary will make two graduating day
addresses. one TO the graduating class
Of the University OF Iowa and the
other to the students who will 20 forth
from the University OF Minnesota to
grapple with, throw and hog.tle the
various problems OF our complex civil
izatlon. These he will give OF some
time in June-if he gets back from a
trip TO the canal, to Cuba, Porto Rico
and Santo Domingo.
Why he is going TO the isthmus
everybody ought 10 know. No matter
whether the work hereafter is TO be
done by contract or by the government
without the Intervention OF such an
agency Taft will need to be on the
Job.
The troubles OF Cuba in themselves
speak the excuse OF the secretary for
going to that island. Porto Rico would
like to see the secretary Just for the
sake Of having a look at him. Santo
Domingo. by the time Taft Is rolling
over the deep blue Caribbean, will be
under the control OF this government
and Taft is the minister for the col.

onies. so there is no need Of long dts
sertation on why he is going there.
Having performed his duties there
the secretary is at liberty TO return to
his home and take his flying (figura-
tive. of course) trip to the north and
west TO make those speeches to the
collegians.
Then he will be on on a trip to the
Philippines, those far-off. dark, choco-
la:e-colored islands where he left his
heart. II there Is one thing above all
others that Taft desires II is TO SEQ
those islands formed into a strong
autonomous government. September
10 will be celebrated In the islands.
That will be Tafts birthday. To the
islanders IL will be about the same as
February % is to continental Ameri.
ans. Taft will be there to advise and
comfort the little brown brothers that
appear to be getting a degree of civil
izatlon that is not injected with q
Krag.
Taft. therefore, for one who is said
to have presidential aspirations. will
have about as much opportunity fT

hunting wild cats, and taking him out

Mr.. Henderson thinks that either
the county commissioners or the
cattle growers of the county, or both,
should provide bounty for these de-
structive animals. 1t would not take
long he thinks to rid the country of
them if there was such bounty or re-
ward for killing them, but under pres

President Takes His Usual Trip to the

Hints That Some of His Leftover

COurtesies to the Presid-
ing Officers.

Washington. March with a new
record for large appropriations and far
reaching legislation the Fifty-ninth
congress was brought to close short
ly after noon yesterday. The last few
hours were calm = in fact, tame = by
comparison with what had been eX-
pected. Long before noon Gallinger's
fight for the passage of the ship sub
sidy bill had been abandoned, aud
the filihuster against it conducted by
Carmack being no longer necessary he
surrendered the floor, much to the dis
appointment of the galleries. Extreme
fatigue, due tocontinued night sessions
in the house during the last week, had
a dampening effect upon many con
gressmen, and theusual excessive last
lay enthusiasm" was confined to less
than half the membership.
President on Hand to Sign Bills.
Despite these conditions the audi
ences in both houses were as large as
they ever have been. Thousands
thronged the corridors unable to secure
admission to either branch. One of
the interesting features incident to the
close of the congress was the visit of
President Roosevelt, who with his cab
met, White House staff and number
of guests. occupied the Presidents
room in the senate wing. Seated at
big table in the center of the room he
signed bills as they were enrolled and
presented to him. On account Of the
dispatch with which business has been
conducted during the past week there
were only forty bills to be signed.
Carried No Crouch with Him.
The president was ut the Capitol for
more than an hour. He devoted most
Of the time to visiting with his cab
met, both the retiring and incoming
members being present, and in present
ing them to personal friends of the
senate and house. Retiring senator's
were received graciously, and with
out exception the president expressed
regret that these lawmakers were to
lave the service Of the country. Espe-
cially warm was his reception to
Spconer, who has just announced his
voluntary retirement.

GIVES THE COMMITTEE A HINT
President Intimates That Some Bills
Will Come Back Next Session.

When the members of the committee
which waited upon him with the in
formation that congress was ready to
adjourn had delivered their message
the president thanked them for the
laws that had been enacted, but he
added with a smile that he still had
several bills that would be heard from
in the future. This amounted to good
natured but direct notice to congress
that he had not abandoned the sever
al recommendations for legislation
which had not met with congressional
favor this session.
Vice President Fairbanks and Speak
err Cannon received the thanks of the
minority for the impartial manner i'll
which they had presided over the de-
alterations of the two houses, and both
of these officers made speeches express
ing gratitude at the words of apprecia-
ton 4 feature Of the house session
was the presentation Of club silver
service Of SEQ pieces toGeneral Grosve-
nor by his colleagues of the Fifty-ninth
congress. Speeches of regret at the
veteran Ohioans retirement were
made from both sides Of the chamber.
Tn addition to the songs and stoHies
that usually mark the close of a ees-
sion there was a beautiful picture
formed by the entire house rising and
waving fiags and singing Ny Country
This of Thee" as the gavel fell at
1915. IN the senate the last Of the
proceedings was the speech by Vice
President Fairbanks prior TO adjourn
ment ut 1918 p. IN. His remarks were
applauded by the thousands of visit
orS. aud the applause continued a the
audience watched with interest the
fafeweIls of senators on the floor.
