Build Life SAVING Station.

Burlington, Feb. AT meeting OF
the Burlington Launch club active
steps were taken toward the securing
of funds for building a life saving sta
ton and club house on the levee. Ihe
city council has given permission fof
the placing of such structure on the
river front, at and to the north OF the
end of Columbia street. The life saw
ing station will be housed in a struc-
ture which will be story and half
in height, 60 by 40 feet, with porches
ten feet in width on the south and
east sides. The station will be
equipped with apparatus for saving
lives and for recovering of bodies OF
drowned persons. Drowning In the
past have demonstrated that If the
search was taken up Immediately with
the proper instruments, the bodies
would have been recovered at once in
stead of months afterwards. Then in
case of accidents on the river, when
boats or steamers are ir danger, the
life saving apparatus would be III.
valuable.

Entertains Originator of Taft Smile


Boone, Feb. 4.-The originator OF
the famous Taft smile is in the city,
a guest of her brother. She is Jessie
TarboX-Beals of New York City, the
famous newspaper and magazine
photographer Mrs. Beals first caught
w. H. Taft's smile, before he was the
Republican nominee for president He
was with a party of folks who were
being photographed by Mrs. Beals. She
told him to smile a bit, but the future
president of this country remained as
he had originally posed, with solemn
mein and nary a twinkle in his eye.
This diSDleased the woman photo
grapher She wanted something In
the picture worth while and decided
that an expansive smile from Judge
Taft would just about fill the bill. She
gave the future president to under
stand that he must smile and winklng
her off eye at the big fellow, he burst
out into hearty laugh. Just as his
mouth was open at the widest angle
and the smile or laugh as one might
call it most expansive Mrs. Beals
pressed the bulb and the first picture
of the famous Taft smile had been
| taken.
Mrs. Beals will depart soon for the
west, carrying with her $4,000 worth
of photographing equipment. She will
study ranch life of the west through
the camera, being gone for many
months. After several months in the
west she will probably visit the Sand
wich Islands and may make other trips
before returning to her home In New
