tanned through Austria's firm attitude
against Servia and Montenegro and
the huge preponderance of the Austr-
ian forces. Austria is fully prepared
for war at any moment.

Twas KipHng Who
Gave Taft His Smile

Washington, d. c., Dec. 7.-William
H. Taft was not born to his famous
smile. He didn't have it while in col
lege. A close friend of his declared
it was formed by reading Kipling.
Mr.. Taft was i'll in January. 1902,
when he left Manila on the transport
Grant for San Francisco. While con-
fined to his stateroom he read Kip
ling. "Naulakha, tale of the West
and the East" pleased him most, es-
pecially this verse:
Now, it is not good for the Christian

health to hustle the Aryan brown.
For the Christian riles and Aryan
smiles and weareth the Christian
down;
And the end of the fight is a tomb
stone white with the name of the
late deceased.
And the epitah drear: "A fool lies
here who tried to hustle the East.
Besides Kipling, Mr.. Taft has other
hobbies. One is music, particularly
ragtime. Favorite tunes: Rufus
Johnson Brown" and The Road to
Mondelay.'

'sThe Strategy of the Colonel" n-n.@.~..

It was late in the forenoon when she walked, fult
of happiness. And then If cloud had come
across the sun, strange depression, something
she had never known before, suddenly made the
world dark What had happened In the mo-
ment that she had looked up into those eyes, with
their brilliance, that moment. by what electric
touch and thrill who could say, her heart had
sprung from her keeping and Colonel Brans-
combe's. And he did not want it! oh, shame!
And she fell back and buried her head in the pill
low. Her blush seemed to burn her from head
to foot, and the tears in her eyes were scalding.
But crying would never do! No one must know.
One could keep ones shame, ones sorrow to ones
self. Oh, Aunt Sophy would jeer! She would be
sure to find it out! There must not be chance of
that. she must conquer the thing, she would! But
OH oh, OH And she wept again with shame, with
sorrow, and in Spite of all with certain secret
joy. Perhaps the JOY was because she cared for
some one so worthy; perhaps because she
cared at all, she did not know. Perhaps
it was Philippa and not another-her dear

JUDGE CULLISON
RENDERS DECISION
Says Under Billups Bill State Must
Prove Intended Violation
of Law

Oklahoma City, Oct 14-Among the
numerous decisions and opinions relative
to the transporting of intoxicating liquors
between points within the state, that OF
Judge j. B. CulIison of the county court
at Enid is the latest and Of no little inn
portance, because it is extremely advesre
to the general application given the Bill
lups prohibition law
Judge Cullison gave the decision in a
case where two men had been arrested
on charge Of bootlegging and transport
ing liquor from one place to another. The
burden of the decision of the Judge is that
the purchase of liquor outside of the state
by any person in it is not illegal, and that
the delivery of the same is not illegal
that the person so receiving a consign-
ment of liquor may transport it from one
place to another so long as he keeps it in
his possession and without evident in
tent of violating any of the provisions of
the prohibition laws.s
The strong point that has been made
by those prosecuting alleged violations of
the liquor law. was that as soon as a con-
sienment of liquor was delivered to an
individual it could be seized because the
person was transporting it from one place
to another within the state. The law
declares the state is required to not only
declare but prove that the liquor is being
so transported for the purpose of violat-
ing provisions of the law
The defendants against whom the
charges were preferred, were discharged
by order of the court
