SUMMARY Of president s MESSAGE
SALIENT POINTS IN LONG DOCUMENT

Washington, D. c., Dec. 6.-Con
gress gave respectful attention to
Tafts message today, but there were
comparatively few members willing tc
concede probability of favorable ac-
ton at the present session of the
many recommendations contained
therein, because of the fact that the
session closes March 4th.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The outstand-
ing features of President Taft's mes
sage, sent to congress today, are
these:
He declares it is time to stop leg
islating with reference to regulation
of corporations and to witness the ef-
feet OF vigorous execution of the
laws already on the statute books.
The exact limitation upon business
methods imposed by law will doubt
less be made clear by pending de-
cisions Of the supreme court.
Just at this time, the president
says, he believes the activities Of the
government in addition to enforce
ment of the laws, should be directed
toward economy Of administration,
the enlargement OF opportunities for
foreign trade, the building up Of
home industry and tn, Strengthening
the confidence Of capital in domestic
investment. 49,
Mr.. Taft recommends strongly
some form of ship subsidy to increase
American shipping, especially to
South America.
The tariff board IS not ready to
submit report on any OF the sched-
ules OF the Payne law, and Mr.. Taft

EDGING FOR THE D

Sashes we are to have all this sum-
mer, but no longer the simple sash
of ribbon tied in a careless bow at the
back.
No, indeed! All these girdle sashes
are most deliberately tied, and one and
all are distinguished by a finishing
edge of some sort.
Fringe, deep or shallow, is much N
favor for these sashes, and may be of
the anne color or in some sharply
contrasting shade.
An edging OF quilted black satin sets
off the bows at either end OF q long
white silk sash.
Another sash, ending in two long silk
~tassels. is piped with narrow black silk,
which outlines the girdle and shows
off to advantage it's graceful lines.
The waist knots are most deliberately
tied. Hero is n in dragon-fy effect,
with a long gilt body and innumerable
little silk puffs on either side Of it to
serve as wings.
Then there Is the flower bow, edged
with French dots and with the fourth
petal tucked through the shirred half
moon buckle. And the large rosette in
quilted circles, like the great boquets
Of our grandfathers.
Altogether 1T is a sash season, and
the sashes are as odd as they are
prettyi

RATS AS NEST ROBBERS.
Explanation of Scarcity Of Birds Who're
They Were Once Plentiful

Explanation Of Scarcity Of Birds Who're
They Were Once Plentiful
From the Scotsman.
From the great increase that In
noticeable in the number OF rats this
spring It Is evident that the severity
Of the last winter has had 40 dimin-
ishing effect IN these destructive ro-
dents, though 1T has had on all other
wild animals.
Ny shrubbery has been suffering
from q plague Of rats Of late, but II
was only this week that / discovered
what the attraction is. In the last
few years I have succeeded IN entic-
ing a great many wild birds to build
in my garden, and the contents Of
their nests have been providing night
y meals FOR the rats.
These marauders do not come
singly, but in dozens, and they go
from nest to nest, taking out eggs or
young birds, as the cas- may be,
while they climb trees with the agtl-
lty Of squirrels. From the feathers
lying about 1 presume that the rats
have killed the sitting birds as well,
but I have so far not actually seen
them do SO. 1 nave tried catching
rats baited with the most tempting
morsels, but the only success I have
h9@ was when the bait was a sparrow
f, y ing which was killed by falling
1 49, L ANS ia NiAO "~ SPSobf ~
whose body I made s of. Other
ANTI have quite failed to lure tho
rats and 1t would seem from this that
they are very partial to young birds.
Perhaps In this too may be found an
explanation of the scarcity Of birds
in districts where they were once
plentiful and from which they have
disappeared owing to no apparent
cause.
Every poultry keeper knows what a
nuisance the willy rat is In the neigh
borhood of his hen runs and chicken
coops, and the increase of the pest is
becoming a serious nj to game
preserves. On one large game farm
in England, from which I have got
eggs for several years past. I am told
that the rats by eason of their In
creased numbers, are now much more
to be dreaded than foxes and weas-
els.
Many game keepers are suffering
from the same experience and ono
tells me that the rats not only rob tho
nests, but destroy the sitting birds
without fear. The fecundity Of the
rat necessitates some kind of united
war being waged against 1t, bu II has
a decided friend IN the careless farm
er who allows II a comfortable and
unmolested home in his stock yards
and outbuildings.
In the past winter, too, rats have
done more damage than field mice in
many gardens, eating roots and bulbs
In a wholesale manner. Only the
other evening l saw a rat nibbling tho
bark of a newly planted shrub with
evident enjoyment. :,

NECkSCARES.

The Parisienne so loves her winter
furs that even in summer she finds 1t
hard TO give up a scarf of some kind
around her neck and shoulders. Hence
the neckscarf.
1t may be Of mousseline de sole gath
cred over satin. Or 1t may be of folded
satin In two contrasting shades.
Again, there is the tulle ruffie inter
laced with satin. And lace and rib
bon intertwined give q charming eff
feet.
In any case, the colors must be
brilliant without being loud" The
ends may be fringed or betassled.
And to wear them? One Grapes the
scarf around the shoulders, throws one
end by a deft twist over the left and
leaves the other and shorter end hang
ing down In front, rather to the right.
One advantage they do have: They
are easily contrfved by the home dress
maker n may effectually conceal q
worn coat collar without giving US
picion to the curious world.

Wanted All to Be Honest.

Mark Tulley, state treasurer. ana
candidate for reelection, was q tray-
cling salesman for % years, and han
a fund Of good stories OF the road.
He tells that one time he was IN q
town In central Kansas where a pro-
tracted revival meeting was going on.
One OF the residents Of the town was
named Toby. He was a tall, gaunt
man, with long whiskers, and was
very fond of whisky, OF which ne fire.
quently imbibbed beyond his limit.
This man was attending one OF the
meetings, and the ~revivalist was busy
scoring every form Of vice and calling
down drastic condemnation upon them.
Woe to the drunkardi Woe to the
drunkard! Woe to the drunkardI" ho
shouted in doleful tones.
Old Toby got on his feet and tugged
at his whiskers, and the fact that he
suffered only made his Interruption
more marked: "G-g-g-guess th-th-th-
ats m-m-e! I-I-I-Tm p-p-presentl"
The preacher went on. WOE to the
liars! Woe TO the liars! Woe TO the
thieves! Woe to the theivesi" His
voice was doleful and sepulchral.
Again old Toby got to his feet. He
motioned around the room, swinging
n pointing his arms and fingers.
"G-g-get up!" he commanded. "G-g-
get up! He's calm on s-s-some of
you fellers! I've answered p-p-present.

HOW TO SERVE WATERMELON.

Watermelons are especially cooling
and refreshing on a hot day because of
the quantities Of ~deliciously favored
juice which they contain. The edible
portion is sometimes thoroughly
chilled, cut in small cubes (removing
seeds), sprinkled with powdered sugar
and arranged IN coupe glasses for the
first course at luncheon or dinner. For
family use Ii is most attractively served
in one Of the following ways: Cut a
section three or four inches In thick
ness from the center of a chilled water
melon. With q sharp knife cut out
a circle of the pink pulp (the edible
portion) and place upon a chilled sery-
ing dish Of correct size. Serve In pie
shaped pieces on chilled plates or cut
Off a thick slice from both ends OF mel
on tha the halves may stand leveD
and cut in halves crosswise. Arrange
on a serving dish on q bed of green
leaves, IL any are at hand.

EMBROIDERED INITIALS.

In embroidering initials On household
linen, especially for a newly furnished
house Tin the case of a bride, etc.), one
should try to make the style of the
monogram agree with the general an
pearance Of the room in which II Is
to be used. Thus the square heavy
letters are suitable for a room in mis-
sion or craftsman style; long, delicate
ly curved French letters for the apart
ment In empire or Ch%ippendale mode.
and round, open letters for the baby's
simple nursery. This may sound far
fetched, but 1t is surprising how con-
spicuous embroidered napkins and
towels may become when they are out
Of harmony with the other appoint
ments.

IN WOMAN'S WORLD
WOULD you KEEP YOUNG?

Good, sound advice Is given
evidently by one who knows.
. You see, the effects Of ones
mental attitude are emphasized.
The physical will take care or
itself. Keep in the sunlight;
nothing beautiful or sweet
grows or ripens in the dark
ness.
Avoid fear In all its varied
forms or expression; 1t is the
greatest enemy Of the human
race. Avoid excuses Of all
kinds: they are injurious. The
long life must be q temperate,
regular life.
Don't live to eat, but eat to
live. Many Of our Ills are due
to overeating, to eating the
wrong things and to irregular
eating.
Don't allow yourself to think
on your birthday that you are
a year older and so much nearer
the end.
Never look on the dark side;
take sunny views Of everything;
a sunny thought drives away
the shadows.
Be a child; live simply and
naturally, and keep clear of en-
tangling alliances and compli-
cations of all kinds.
Cultivate the spirit Of con-
tentment; all discomfort and
dissatisfaction bring age fur
rows prematurely to the face.
Form a habit of throwing off
before going to bed at night all
the cares and anxieties Of the
day-everythlng which can pos
sibly u mental wear and
tear or deprive you Of rest.

Uses for Lions.
From Youths Companion.

HIUH hUuIN OUWpanIon-
According to some Of the farmers Of
East Africa, tine lion should be pro-
tected as a useful animal, notwith-
standing the fact that once in q while
he kills a man. The lion, they main
tain, Is a great destroyer OF noxious
h~erbivorous animals. such as zebras
and antelopes, which are a
TO the fields. In one district they say
no fewer than SAG lions have recently
been killed by hunters, and the saving
Of $4,000 to 10000 zebras and ante
lopes, which would otherwise have
fallen a prey to the lions that have
been destroyed. OF course, the hunt
ers shot zebras and antelopes also, but
this fact, they think, does not sounter-
balance the destruction Of those AMI
mails that would have been effected By
the slain lions.
