DESERTS NAVY DESERTS WIFE
 IS BETRAYED
Spurned Woman Tries Unsuc- CeSsfuIly To Win Back Dire Iict Blue Jacket, Then Re- ports Him To Officers.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-Betray- ed to the police by his wife, when she discovered she had lost his love. stephen ODonnen, of Jessup ana Moore streets, was turned over to the authorities of the Philadelphia navy yard as a deserter from the battleship Mississippi.
 Ever since last July, when the MS sissippi anchored at League Island, search has been made for O'Donnell, but nothing was heard of him until last night, when his wife, who maAes her home at Seventeenth and Whar- ton streets, told the police of the Moyamensing avenue station where to find him.
 T know you may think me heart less to give up my own husband when 1t probably means Imprisonment for him." she said, but he has treated me cruelty. He first enlisted in the navy eight years ago, not long after our wedding, and since then he has not contributed one cent toward my sup port, and has tried to ignore me. When l learned he had deserted the Mississippi and was ashore. thought might be able to win him back, ana tried to do 1t.
 He has never come near me, though, and although he has been ashore since July, I have never been able to get a cent of money from him. For that reason I decided to report him"
 Policeman Eppright was sent to the South Jessup street house where he found 0DonnelI, as Mrs. O'DonnelI said he would
 When arraigned before Magistrate Hughes this morning O'DonneIl evi- denced a feeling that ne had been badly treated by his wife. He did not deny, however, that her charges that he had not supported her were cor rect. Seems to me a pretty mean trick for a wife" ne said, ito give up her own husband. 1 guess it's a year or two in the Portsmouth jail for me now"
 William Whitaker, arrested late last night while enjoying the gay surround ings of a Japanese tea garden, was charged today with being a deserter from the navy and was sent 70 League Island in charge of a police man.
 Whitaker admitted being blue jacket, but said he was not a desert CT and that he had been away from his ship, the Idaho, only two days. He could not, however, explain the aD- sence of his uniform, which had been replaced by ragged suit, and Magis- trate Gallagher decided it would ue good idea to let his superiors in vestigate him

 IF L|NCOLN'S
 NATAL DAY
Plans Are Maturing For Mo-
 table Occasion On CenteniaI Of Great EmanCipator'S
 Birth.

CHICAGO, Dec 12.-Maturing plans for notable Observances of the cen tennial of Lincolns birthday next Feb ruaTy 2, indicate that the proposal to make that day an event in history, both in Chicago, at the Rock Creek farm in Hardin county, Ky, at Cpring- field, H., and in towns and cities throughout the country, has met with spontaneous favor. President-elect Taft may be the speaker in Chicago and thousands on that day will make q pilgrimage to Lincoln Park, where stands the famous heroic statue of Lincoln. With appropriately simple
 ceremony a wreath will be placed up- on the fuTrOwed brow of that erect, musiug figure of the president, whose greatness has been realized with in creasing clearness as the years have added to knowledge of his real char acter. Tae principal observance of the day will be held in Chicago where in 1860 he was nominated for the presidency. Tt seems to be recog-

REDUCING IF THE WORLDS
 SCHEDULES
Japanese Merchants Can Now Deliver Goods By Canadian Line To New York In lust Twenty-Five Days.

CHICAGO, bec zz.-Another cul in the time it takes to circle the globe will soon be made to meet the grow ing demands of international com
 nerce for fast freight service. Chi cago will no longer be a gateway on this shortest route around the worr and some point in Canada will claim the honor. Connected with the com ing change in route is the story of a dramatic test which was made re- gently, the details of which nave only just come to light. Certain mer- chants in Yokohama, it appears, hau important shipments of silk to make to Liverpool and. decided to send Ine silk by three different routes to de- termine which was the shortest. The first went by way or the Pacific Man. an American line, to San Francisco, and thence overland to New York, the second by the Japanese line, the Nip pon Yusen Kaisra, to Seattle, and thence overland to New York, and the third by the Canadian Pacific line to Vancouver and thence by railroau to New York. From New York the route lay by steamship to Liverpool The three shipments left within eI, hour of each other. Thirty days later the Canadian Pacific shipment arrived in Liverpool, beating the Seat tie consignment by a good margin. and the Frisco lot brought up the rear three days later. The run across lI.s Pacific showed conclusiVely the ad- vantage of the most northern post, and it also led the Japanese merchants to figure on the further cutting of time that will follow the completion 0. the Grand Trunk Pacific, which will be the most northern railroad on the continent, and the new "shortest route" Owing to the situation of Prince Rupert 800 miles nearer Yolo- hama than any other rival port, the time across the Pacific will be clip ped two days, while from there on. Iuv railroad men figure that the low grade across the Rockies and the short distance between Halifax ano Liverpool will further reduce the time. making a total saving of five days over the present record. This will give a time of twenty-five days for a distance Of 220 degrees or near ly twO-thirds of the circumference of the earth. At that rate, tourists fig ure it ought not to be long before Jules Verne's famous dream of Around the World in Eighty Days" is not only beaten, but cut in two-if enough en- thusiastic globe trotteTs can be found to make the trial.

rINISH TUX SALAD
HOW TO MAKE MAYONNAFSE ca
 FRENCH DRESSING
One Great Point Ia to Have Every. thing cold-To Prevent It's "Go- ing Back" Mix It Drop
 by Drop.

Care is necessary to make a good salad. Dressing must be thoroughly mixed, icy cold and the ingredients of the salad itself should be daindIy pre- pared.
 In making either mayonnaise or French dressing have everything cold Chill the bowl with ice water and ip hot weather mix in larger bowl of cracked ice, or, if that be not convent ent, at least sit in the cellar while making mayonnaise; otherwise 1t will be apt to curdIe.
 Always keep the eggs in the icebox for at least an hour before making dressing and see that they are 50 carefully separated that not particle of the white remains.
 Patience is the one secret of sue cessful mayonnaise. If the drop-by- drop principle is Dot rigid1y adhered to until the dressing takes on sub stance that makes going back improb- able, dire will be results
 Should the dressing curdie, begin over again with 8 fresh egg, mixing in the curdled part after the new dressing is well stiffened
 In making a quantity of mayonnaise it is better to thin with pieces of cracked ice rather than with lemon or vinegar, as, otherwise it may be too acid.
 Even though the dressing looks all right and has been set away fsr sew eral hours in the refrigerator, be care ful not to stir it before putting on the salad; otherwise you uay be mortified to have it go back when just ready to be served. This is not an infrequent occurrence, but is usually caused by too rapid mixing.
 If too late to start over again with the fresh egg. the only thing to do not to delay the dinner Is to hastily mix a good French dressing, consolipg yourself that it is more heslthfni aft CT a big dinner than the heavier may onnaise
 Rub a bit of garlic or onion on the salad bowl in making any dressing and the flavor will be much improved.
 A tablespoonful or two of rich cream added just at the last to mayonnase makes it lighter and richer.

Hunting tho Maribou.

Hunting the marabou is attended
with great difficulty, as the bird pos.
sesses wonderful cunning and often
contrives to outwit the most skillful
hunter. With laughable dignity It
measures the ground between itself
and its pursuer and takes very good
care not to exhaust itself by too rapid
flight. If the hunter moves slowly the
bird at once adopts an equally easy
pace, but If the hunter quickens his
steps the bird is off like IN arrow. It
is very difficult to get within gun
range of this calculating creature, but
the natives adopt novel means of
capturing it, which the bird, with all
It's astuteness, is unable to compre-
bend and falls an easy victim. A
tempting morsel of meat is tied to the
end of long stout cord, which the
skillful hunter filings to a great dis
lance, rs he would lasso, the bait
falling as near the fleeing bird as he
can aim 1t. He then conceals himself
hastily behind bush or crouches low
on the sand. The marabou, which al
ways keeps its eye on the hunter, see
ing him vanish. quietly stops and de-
YOURS the bait, when 1t is easily Sc
cured by the hunter, who runs toward
1t, coiling the rope as he goes
