MRAFT ENTERS
THE WHITE HOUSE
THE PRESIDENT-ELECT BEGINS
FOUR YEARS STAY.
Judge and His Wife Spend Eve Of
Inauguration With Retiring
Chief Executive.

C11e1 Executive.
Washington, March Sit was two
minutes past 8 o'clock tonight when
William Howard Taft and Mrs. Taft
stepped from their automobile IN a
driving rain and entered the White
House for the mght-to make it their
ho.le for the next four years.
There was no demonstration what
ever marking the arrival of the new
tenants of the executive mansion.
Mr.. Taft had day filled with per-
sonal Incidents. The Broadman resi-
dence, where he had made his home
since his arrival in the city last Sat-
urday, was early filled with callers,
and the demands of friends, states
men and politicians on the time Of the
incoming president we're greater than
he has experienced since his election.
The purpose of most Of the callers,
however was to extend the hand Of
oordiahty and good wishes.
It was just getting dark and the
rain was coming down in cold torrents
when Mr.. Taft heard the strains Of
"Home, Sweet Home by brass
band. He ran down the stairs and out
Of doors from the Boardman residence
without his hat. As he had anticipat-
ed there was the Citizens Taft club
of Cincinnati, 100 strong.
"Give me the friend Of foul wealth
er rather than those of fair weather, y
was the CHEEKY greeting to his fellow
townsmen, who eheere dhim Justify.
His Cincinnati friends are to partake
of luncheon with President Taft at
the White House tomorrow afternoon.
The Yale class Of '78, of which Mr.,
Taft is a proud member, had their ln-
ming with the president-eleet this at
ternoon He drove down town, met
them in the rain and proceeded to the
historic steps of the navy department
building, where all posed for a group
picture.
After his dinner, Mr.. Taft found
time to 60 to the Willard hotel for
few minutes to be cheered by his old
classmates who were holding a Yale
smoker.
The news Of the day, so far as ap-
pointments are concerned, was sum-
med up in the statement by Mr.. Taft
that Beekman Winthrop, who recent
" declined the position Of assistant
secretary Of state, had accepted the
similar place in the navy department,
where he will be assistant secretary
after March 4.
Former Gov. Byron T. Herrick, Of
Ohio, who declined to be considered
for the position Of secretary OF the
treasury, today refused the offer OF
Mr.. Taft to make him an ambassador.
The particular post to which it was
desired that NJ" Herrick should go
was that at Rome, vacated by the
resignation of Mr.. Griscom.
Willis Moore, chief Of the United
States weather bureau, sent Mr. Taft
a telegram tonight, saying that the
weather in Washington tomorrow
would be clear and cold.
As the night wore on, however, the
storm showed no signs Of abating and
the precipitation became more OF snow
and less Of rain. Pennsylvania ave-
nue., down which the inaugural parade
will pass, was more than an inch deep
in slush at 2.3O a. m. and snow was
still falling.

killed a rabbit upon land belonging to
the Count de Barth. The land was
posted, but not surrounded by walls,
and the prisoner pleaded that he did
not know he had overstepped the
boundary. Nevertheless, he was con-
demned to year of hard convict lab
or. Since that time, the feeble and
aged father had been without food.
No one knew exactly why he mad tot
tered eight miles to Miramas, thinly
clad and in freezing weather, but that
didn't much matter anyway.
"Death from senility and indis-
Greet exposure" was the verdict.
Death from starvation was the fact.
Another day it was a cattle driver
from the lake country, who entered
the auberge to sacrifice his last sous
for a bowl of milk and ask his wav to
the hospital. He was burning with
fever, his cheeks were inflamed, his
eyes were unnaturally bright and he
was unsteady on his feet. France is
ju2tly proud of her hospitals, and the
poor unfortunate, who had come a
long way on foot, felt sure that he
would be received and cared for. He
was refused admittance Why? Be-
cause his mother was an Italian!
They told him it was strictly against
the rule to receive a foreigner in the
free ward of a communal hospital,
but assured him that he needed only
60 to Marseilles, where the depart
mental hospital would certainly take
care Of him. He protested that Mar
seiles was so miles distant and that
he was without money. Wall"
said the interne.
God only knows what became OF
that Italian. He left OUR inl the
same night, on foot, but know he
never reached Marseilles.
Less lugubrious but equally pitllrl
is our scullion maid, Josephine, 5
droll and homely creature Of uncsr-
tain age, whose life consists Of scrub
bing floors and scaling fish. She is
not altogether unhappy however, for
she is the possessor of two priceless
treasures. a case Of chronic gastristls,
an uncle in Naples, who mas promis-
ed to leave her a couple Of hundred
francs when he dies.
When an occasional customer, OBJ
serving Josephine prepare ner etcr-
nal bowl of cruel instead OF sharing
the food of the common board, asks if
she is i'll. she always draws herself
up proudly and respond
"J'ai une gastrite.
The effect is as if she had said, Il
have a diamond sunburt,' or -
have a gilded coach and four white
horses with silver mounted brides.
II is a sort of honor, a title to dis
tinction, which renders her different
a common ordinary servan; (also It
is econimaD. She of::eu suffers
from her ailment. suffers horribly, but
I know she would regard cure as
calamity. Poor soul. her gastr1tls Is
her only possession in the world.

This very evening, a tattered little
raeamuffin with fearful blue eyes and
pretty golden eurEs crept into the auo-
erge and plaintively begged permls-
sion to sing a carol. Having conelud-
ed her little ballad, she hoped to re-
ceive a few pennies, but only three
people in the company paid the slight
est attention to the child. When she
comprehended that she was to receive
practically nothing, she burst into
tears. and, when Josephine with a
woman's natural tenderness dried the
little ones eyes upon the corner OF
her dirty apron, sobbed that her motn-
er Was waiting outside and would
whip her cruelty if she did not sue
ceed in gaining certain number OIL
pennies. Her shoulders were already
covered with ruises.-Sounds like
passage from cheap melodrama,
doesn't it? Almost as trite and puer-
lie as a scene from "The Two Or
phans' or "Ten Nights in Bar
room" Reminds You, doubtless, Of
one Of those sickening, sentimental
ballads which always begin "on
dark and stormy night, when the snow
was falling fast. y
Well, my only apology for describ-
me the scene is the fact that it is
true.

QUINCY NEWS

A large crowd of citizens turned
out on Saturday evening to see the
basketball game in Dickinson's hall
between the High School club and
the Quincy Athletic club, composed
of young men around town. Being
the first exhibition game of the teams
the evening was great success ev-
cry way and other games will no
doubt follow During the entire time
of playing excitement ran high
among the spectators, cheering and
EXPLANATIONS being frequently in
dulged in. From the first it was cas-
lily noticeable that the superior train
ing of the High School team gave
them a big advantage over their OPP
ponents, and this being augmented
by a biased umpire tended to make
the game a little one-sided. The
fight put up by the Quincy Athletics
however, was made by this a more
commendable one, and they are to
be congratulated by the good work
they did do. Following is the line
up:

There was a price upon every head

The camera man stood with me
Just within the entrance of spheri-
cal glade in the swamp. 1t was 80
feet in diameter, between walls of
closely growing trees and tangled
vines; 80 feet from ground to dome
of curving branches burdened with
orchids and brilliant blossoms. Fes-
ICONS of Spanish moss swayed with
the column of air rising from a fire
of fat pine which filled the caver1ous
opening with rudy light and waving
shadows.
The big iron kettle over the fire
was fitted with wooden top, deftly
fashioned from a section of a cy-
press tree three feet in diameter, the
stump of which served as table
table within the glade. An iron pipe
led from the cypress cover of the
kettle through wooden box of wa
ter, and from it's projecting end
poured a tiny stream of the potent
product of the still.
Half an hour earlier the hoOting of
an owl had told the group of the

though everyone knew that our be-
ing there under his guidance involved
his pledge to stand for us, in the
Indian sense of a hostage, with his
life the forfeit. Some of the whis-
pered colloquy which we overheard
was unprintable, and the tension was
only relieved when it was under

tanned camera and sensitive plates.
This audacity appealed to the sense
of humor of the moonshiners and we
were made parties to the converse

spots, and l was rendered fiery po-

the moonshiners became satisfied that
we would observe the flag of truce
we carried, which bound us to make
no use that would imperil them, of

Special to the World.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-As soon as
the public morals turmoil dies down
in the legislature a bill will be in
trojuced providing that husbands
who beat their wives shall be sub
jected to the same sort of punish
ment
While the details of the law have
not been entirely agreed upon by the
people here working in its interest,
it is understood that the law in Ore
gon will be followed closely. The
people who are urging this measure
are having considerable difficulty in
finding a member who will father
the measure officially. Nearly every
member who has been approached
expresses himself as being heartily in
favor of the measure, but all fear
the ridicule that some way or other
attaches to a man who introduces
the "wife-beater" bill.
The bill affords scope for some
rather puerile stock wit, which legis-
lators imbued with the wrongful i'm
preston that they are humorists

Louis Delivuk has just completed
blue print plans for an extensive
change in the Macdonald & Mclean
warehouse at this place. The plans
call for a readjustment of the base
placed in addition with the gasoline
engine and feed chopping mill.
Shutes will be installed SO that the
grain will flow down into the hopper
of the grinding machine, and, after
being ground will be elevated to the
ground floor and placed in bins for
that purpose. Three bins of 100
bushels capacity each will be built
for receiving the chopped grain.

coed Matt Piles on the board of con-
troll Piles rendered his resignation
to Governor Cosgrove yesterday

The governors only answer was the
appointment of Gilman.
Aside from the appointment of j.
L. Mohundro of Seattle as bank ex-

ROAD BONDING
BILL SUBMITTED
PROVIDES THAT ISOLATED
DISTRICTS MAY BOND FOR M
PROVEMENT OF ITS ROADS.
Special to the World.

Speclal TO the World.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-In the house
today Taylor and Tonkin, of King
county, introduced the bill which
provides for "road-bonding districts.
Under the provisions of this act the
ranchers and rural land owners may
form bonding district which will
correspond to local Improvement
district for cities, to raise money for
the purpose of building roads and
bridges.
This measure will enable the
jewellers in outlying districts who
cannot, for one reason or another,
get the county commissioners to build
them a road to form their own dis
trict, elect three directors, who are
to get 81 per day for their actual
time served, and bond the district.
The measure, it is believed, will re-
ceive favorable treatment at the
hands of the roads and bridges CON-
mittees of the house and senate.
Although the law takes the actual
building of roads out of the hands of
the county commissioners, it is done
under their supervision and under
the direction of the county engineer.
The commissioners under the provis-
ions of this act will act in the same
capacity as does the city council in
local improvement district matters.

Where is not found the mourner.
Who hath not lost a friend?
And echo says, Where are they,
Whose hearts no sorrow send?"
Their dear and loved are dying,
Our choicest ones depart,
And many friends are signing,
With tears and bleeding heart.
But so it is that one by one
They slowly pass away
They are here in health and then are
gone,
To that eternal day.
Fond mothers, cease thy weeping,
And, fathers, dry thy tears;
Blanche's body is sleeping,
In heaven her soul appears.
o sisters and brothers follow
Your sister to realms above;
o, heed her dying message,
And seek a Saviour's love.
Mourn no more, dear friends, for
Blanche,
Though no more her form you'll

Though no more your hearts are
gladdened
By her merry laughing glee.
Yet we will trust in Jesus,
He is the only friend,
Who can help us in our sorrow,
And be with us till the end.
