AIKEN MUST KEEP LEFER.
Colony Elsewhere Unsuccessful so
Far.

Aiken, Dec. Let now seems
probable that Miss Mary v. Kirk,
the ex-missionary, who has been
held in quarantine by the Aiken
board Of health, will have to pass the
remainder Of her days as the city's
charge. 1t had been hoped by the
city authorities and the friends of
Miss Kirk that she would be carried
to some leper colony, where she
might be properly cared for and not
subjected to entire isolation, as she
now is, but the first attempt has fail
ed.
Some weeks ago, Miss Kirk pro-
posed to the city Of Aiken that the
city purchase her property here, and
she would move away to a leper COL
ony in Louisiana, where she would
purchase a cottage. The city authori-
ties at once named a price, which
was considerably larger than she has
been offered for 1t, it is understood,
for the purpose of allowing her to re-
move. as it is costing the city quite
sum Of money to retain her here.
In the meantime, communication
was had with the Louisiana authori..
ties, with the view of taking her
there. When the arrangements were
being made, the matter was carried
before the Governor of that State,
who Immediately put a stop to the
scheme.
That ends the proposition to take
her to the Louisiana leper colony.
Her friends, Immediately, however,
communicated with the Washington
authorities, with view to carrying
her to some leper colony in India
The Washington authorities referred
Miss Kinks friends to the American
consul, at Calcutta. The consul has
been written to, with a view to ex-
porting her to that country. Now it
remains to he seen whether or not
the consul can induce the British au-
thorities to receive her. 1t is not be-
lieved that the British authorities
will permit Miss Kirk to enter India,
but her trends are yet hopeful. Even
II consent is secured to carry her
there. the difficulty will present it.
self as to how it can be accomplish
ed. The railroads will object to
handling a leprous subject, and the
steamship lines will enter objection.
So 1t is very doubtful If such ar
rangements can be made. If this
project fails, there will probably be
no other alternative than for the
aged lady to remain as the charge Of
the city Of Aiken. Council Of this
city. recognizing the probability, Is
now considering the matter of erect
ing a neat cottage for her occupancy,
either on the edge Of the city, or on
some Of the city's property outside
Of the limits.

LIFE.

A little dreaming by the way,
A little toiling day by day;
A little pain, little strife,
A little joy-and that Is life.
A little short-lived summers morn
When Joy seems all so newly born
When one days sky is blue above
When one bird sings-and that Is
love.
A little sickening of the years,
The tribute Of few hot tears:
Two folded hands, the failins
breath,
And peace at last-and that Is
death.
Just dreaming. loving, dying so.
The actors In the drama 60
A fitting picture en- a wall,
Love, Death the themes; but is
that all?

and Hen incident seemed to have
been an especial bond of union.
Twice since he was elected president,
Mr.. Taft has visited Charleston, and
Major Hemphill has visited the Pre-
sident here. their friendship being at
each meeting intensified.
The Gander and Hen incident you
understand. was a joke. Mr.. Taft
likes a joke and he likes a man who
gets Off a good one. But the presi-
dent Is not all joke. That campaign
business. and at one time Mr.. Bryan
was pushing him so close and the
Middle West as we'll as New York
showed such signs of Republican dis
integration that he got all vexified,
as II were. 1t has always been an
idea with him ever since he entered
politics. which was when he became
q candidate for president, you under
stand, that he was the Man Of Des-
And he wanted to go into the South
during that campaign to convert the
stiff-necked people. and would have
done 30 but for this dangerous threat
of the Middle West and New York.
But all the time he was looking about
In the South, watching 1t very close
ly. He had certain lieutenants, pulse
feelers. to report to him what men in
the South could be Of assistance to
him In furnishing information about
conditions. Among these was J. c.
Hemphill In South Carolina. It is
not believed that he called on these
men for assistance, but it is positive
ly known that had his eye on them,
and considered them as not so hos
tile as their papers might have in
dicated to those who did not read be-
tween the lines.
Whether he has Major Hemphill
on his list Of eligibles with the hope
of assistance in breaking UP the Solid
South or not can be but a matter of
surmise. 1t is certain that he con-
suits the Major about appointments
and that the Major. whether con-
suited or not, sometimes gives his
advice" This he did a few DAYS
ago in the candidacy of his cousin,

missioner Of the District of Column

TUCK HING AGAIN FACES CHARGE.
 OF GRAVITY

| PHoENIX, Oct. 5.-Tuck Hing, Chi nese restaurateur and eonnoissuer in white women. is again in the public eye because of his alleged relations with girl of another race. His latest charmer a pretty IS year old Jewess named Lena Tobias. Is in the city jail aud win probably be deported to Rus sla, her native land. Her brother. Maz Tobias, is also m jail, technically on . charge of vagrancy, but really because he introduced his sister to Tuck ana engineered the deal whose fulfillment was responsible for her presence ID the Chinaman's room at o'clock yes terday morning.
 The girl and her brother were here several weeks ago, He became ac- -quainted with Tuck and introduced his sister. The details of the affair are not known, but the police noticed that the restaurant proprietor drove her to the depot one morning, gave her mo ney and bought her a ticket to Pres cott. When she returned early this week, the officers kept close watch upon her and her Mongolian admirer.
 Wednesday night, about dark they were seen to turn into the alley by Gass Brothers chop house and go in at the back of the Anheuser, in the rear of which Tuck's restaurant is To- cated. He also has a room in the same building. and the police called there at ? a. m.
 Beyond the simple fact that Lena Tobias was in the Chinaman's room they saw nothing suspicious. She was fully dressed and was sitting in a chair talking to Tuck. Both protested volubly when she was requested to go to the city hall. She was merely wait ing there while her brother attended to some business in anotheS part of the city. He would return shortly.
 Sure enough he did. but he was al so taken to the city jail Tuck was not arrested, but yesterday he tried hard to explain matters to Marshal Moore and Immigration Inspector c. F. Cronin. At first he contended that the girl had been in his room only a few minutes when the officers appear ed. Later he admitted that she had been there an hour
 Lena Tobias cried all day in the wo- mems cell. Her pretty face was streahed with tears and her eyes red and swollen. To all who spoke to her she tearfully asserted her innocence.

 MT Chandler is known as one of the New Hampshire radicals and he led in the defeat of taxation bill in the last legislature because it did not go far enough. Regarding the income tax amendment. he says:
 T have no doubt we will adopt it. The real reason the income tax is op- posed is because the rich men don't want it. The reason given to the pub lie will be that the power of income taxation should be retained by the states. The truth is that both the state and the national government should possess themselves of all the powers of taxation.

What Country pxeII.r. Nssd.

A third of our population Is urban; the rest is more or less rural What the country dweliers need to make them happy are religion, education and material prosperity. The farms cannot employ as many lsborers per acre as they did before the coming of agricultural machinery. Therefors they must either raise fewer children or export some of tSair population to the cities.-Harpe-'s Weekly
