Augusta, Ca, Dec. 17.--Augusta
will extend the glad hand of greet
ing to William Howard Taft and his
family when they arrive here tomor-
row to taee up their winter residence
in this beautiful Georgia city. For
several days the president-elect and
Mrs. Taft will be the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Landon A. Thomas. Mrs.
Taft is a close personal friend of Mrs.
Thomas. Next week the Tafts will
take up their residence in the Ter
rett cottage on The Hill, Augustus
most exclusive section, where they
will remain until about the middle of
February, when Judge Taft will pro-
coed to Washington and prepare to
assume the highest office in the land.
If the hopes of Augusta people are
realized, the Tafts will be kept busy
during their stay in this city. Prac-
tically every society woman in town
entertains an ambition to have the
president-elect and his better half as
their guests at some social function,
and it is feared that many bitter
rivalries will result Already Augusta
has become more popular than ever
as tourist resort, in Iiew of the
coming of Judge Taft. tits expected
that many prominent statesmen and
political advisers of the president
elect will spend the Christmas holt
days here, and the most brilliant
social season in Augustus history will
be during the next few months,
and this city will attain even greater
Importance than Virginia Hot Springs
or Oyster Bay in their palmiest days.
The Terrett cottage, which the Taft
people will occupy, is adjacent to the
Bon Air Hotel, Augustus most fam
Gus hosiery, where the Taft's will
take their meals. The house is not
pretentious, but is commodius and
comfortable, and is furnished in the
old style peculiar to well-to-do South
erners.
1t is adjacent to the Country Club
golf links, probably the finest in the
South. Mr.. Taft will spend much
time on these links. In the Terrett
cottage Mr.. Taft will write his inaug-
ural message. complete the selection
of his cabinet and foreign ministers
and decide other important matters
preparatory to assuming the office of
president of the republic.

WATSON WILL Retire
FROM THE Committee
Many Thousands of Printed Pages
Will Make Up the Record of the
Testimony Submitted During the In
quiry.-Steel Trust Officials.

Washington, Dec. 17.-With its
session today, the committee on ways
and means of the house, which is in
charge of tariff revision, is nearing
the end of its hearings and next week
it will begin the preparation of tar
if measure. The hearings, which
have been in progress since November
10, will come to an end tomorrow
or Saturday, and then the members of
the committee will begin the sum-
ming up of the facts and figures which
have been hurled like an avalanche
at their defenseless heads by the
hundreds of witnesses who have ap-
peared before them.
1t is the intention of the commit
tee to go to work Immediately on
tariff bill as soon as the hearings close
and have it ready for presentation to
the house the opening day of the spe-
cial session of the Sixty-first con-
gress, which will be early in March.
This is on the assumption that the
present committee will remain I'M
changed in it's membership in the next
congress. All the members of TIE
committee in the Sixtieth congress
have been returned by their constitu-
encies, except Mr.. Watson of Indiana,
who made an unsuccessful run for
governor of his state. His place in
the committe is filled by Mr.. Crum-
packer.
Many thousands of printed pages
will make up the record of the tes-
timony of the hundreds of witnesses
who have come before the committee
seeking medicine for their business
ills in tariff revision, or advocating a
'let well enough alone" policy. Prac-
tically every witness has been the
representative of special interest,
and has come to plead either for
higher duties or a continuance of the
Dingley rates.
Representatives of the steel and
iron interests were willing to make
some concession, but most of them
took issue with Mr.. Carnegie's asser-
ton that the steel business can now
stand on its own legs without the aid
of tariff. The boot and shoe men
were willing to have their products
placed on the free list if hides and
leather should be made non-dutiable,
and the tanners expressed themselves
as being able to stand a material re-
duction in the duty on leather, if
hides should be placed on the free
list. With the exception of a few
lumbermen who have Canadian inter-
ests, the lumbermen who came to
Washington were of one mind in de-
claring that their industry would be
ruined by a lowering of the Dingley
tariff on lumber. Some of the indie
pendent sugar refiners told the COM
mittee that If the duty should be re-
moved from raw sugar, it would be
possible to get along without a duty
on refined sugar.
All these case were exceptions to
the general rule. Let us alone" or
Give us more" have been the rally
ing cries of the great majority of rep
resentatives of protected interests
who made the Washington journey to
talk on tariff revision.

Saved His Throat.

The German steamer TolOsan, from
Puget sound to VladivostOk, recently
put into Honolulu battered almost into
iunk from the fierce lashing of wind
and waves in her battle with a fright
ful hurricane. The Tolosan carried one
passenger, a Greek merchant who own
ed large shipment of fruit that form
ed part Of the Tolosan's cargo. When
the storm was at its height the Greek
with razor cleaning in his hand
fought his way against the gale to the
bridge and signaled TO the captain thai
he wished to speak with him.
"Will the ship sink?" demanded the
passenger.
"Perhaps," replied the skipper.
"Are we going down now"
"No. We still have a chance"
"Will you send word to me wher
there is no longer hope"
Get off the bridgew screamed thu
skipper. "Why do you trouble me at
time like this? Go to your room"
"But will you let me knowY persist

The gentleman from Greece arrived
at Honolulu with his throat intact, bu

The Two Sides.

Education has two sides-the mate
rial and the immaterial-and of these
the immaterial is the nobler But so
severe apparently is the contest among
individuals for wages and so Keen
among nations the struggle for SUI
prsmacy in commercial and Industrial
pursuits and operations that the ad-
yantages of education in the intellect
ual and spiritual development Of man
kind are often kept out of sight. The
Danes in their peoples high schools
have. better than other nations, sue
ceeded In combining the two sides oil
continuation school work. Against the
danger involved in excessive utilitari
anism Professor sadler utters timely
warning.
"Let us not identify the world fol
which we seek to train every chilc
solely with the world Of material in
terests and of visible things. Let US
not forget in our educational plans tho
weight that should be attached to the
claims of the spiritual realm whose
frontiers transcend political frontiers
and whose commonwealth is In heaV

FireIess Stoves.

Fireless or self cooking stoves which
have been so popular in Germany for
number Of years have been recently
much improved. The early types were
simply boxes made with double walls
so as to retain the heat, and food to De
boiled or stewed was first Thoroughly
heated and then inclosed in the Dox
for a sufficient time to cook by the re-
tanned heat. The latest apparatus IS
stated by Deputy Consul General J. W.
Dive of Berlin to be heated by a stone
This IS made sufficiently hot in an oven
or over any fire, then placed In the
cooker with the steak or roast, and the
box is sealed up and left for an hour
or so until the food is thoroughly COOK
ed and hot. With double boxes DOLL

Lord Curzon exhibited brilliant quail

Curzon gave him more trouble than
any boy he ever taught. HE was in

TO what I was teaching. But what
made him more especially aggravating
was that whenever I came down on
