Taft Is Disappointed

KALAMAZOO, Sept. 21.-President
Taft at a banquet here tonight said:
II have just been informed that rec
iprocity has failed in Canada. For
me it is great disappointment. l
had hoped it would be put through
to prove the correctness of my judg-
for both countries. 1t takes two to
make a bargain, and if Canada de-
clines. we can still go on doing bust
ness at the old stand"
After having had time to analyze
the complete returns, the president
will make statement or incorporate
his opinion in a speech.
Result a Complete Surprise
There is much speculation here to-
night as to what effect the result Of
the election would have upon the
presidents reception in the insurgent
and agricultural states, which he is
soon to visit and where he has been
bitterly opposed because of his ad-
vocacy Of reciprocity. The presi-
dent, unquestionably, has been taken
completely by surprise and this made
his disappointment bitter. Few Of
the banquetters present knew the
president was receiving the news from
across the border and they did not
appreciate what the play of his coun-
tenance meant as the little white slips
containing the Associated Press bull
letins were handed to him. Taft
proved a good loser, however, for
when he arose to speak, his charac-
teristic smile had not deserted him
and he spoke in a happy vein for a
few minutes preceding his more seri-
GUS discussion of the arbitration
| treaties.
Thought Reciprocity Would Win
The president had confidently pre-
dicted to his friends that reciprocity
would win in Canada. He had re-
Trained from discussing the issue in
any of his public utterances while

spite the pressure brought to bear
upon him. Today at Battle Creek.
however, with the assurance that
whatever he might say could not be
misconstrued, inasmuch as the Can
adam polls were about to close Taft
launched into a reciprocity speech.
He spoke with the confidence of one
who believed that victory was in sight
President Taft was deeply chag-
rined when the annexation bugaboo
was brought into the discussion and
believes it had much to do with decid-
ing the issue in Canada. the opposi-
ton leaders having used it in every
possible way. The president in his
speech at Battle Creek today took &C.
Casion again to dispel this belief.

finest softest flannel, and every
seam must be flattened down
with overcasting to keep the
otherwise rough edges from rub.
bling and chatting the tender skin
The bands should be torn, not
lcut, neither should they be
hemmed. Better let the edges
fray than bind the little abdo-
men with unyielding hens.
Diapers should be made of
the diaper cotton, of shaker
flannel, or of loose woven cot
ton flannel. For the first few
weeks wear, soft old lienn or cot
ton sheeting is best.
The little slips are made of
dimity, longcloth or any other
like soft, fine, snowy material.
A touch of handwork, and lit
tie lace at neck and sleeves is all
the trimming necessary.
Night gowns are made of soft
shaker flannel, and a long kimono
may be made of challis or CASH
mere. This latter garment is
useful in many ways.
1t is better to buy plain flannel
for the petticoats. and embroider
or featherstitch the hem, than to
buy embroidered flannel-for the
quality of the material is far bet
ter at the same price.
Dainty square comforts are
made of white cheesecloth with a
single LAWYER of cotton between and
knotted with pink or pale blue
yarn or baby ribbon and button
holed around edges.
Pieces of old white wool blan-
kets come into use for the little
one. They may be squared and
buttonholed about the edges, as
in the little comfort. Soft little
sheets may be made of the good
parts of large wornout sheets, and
|are much nicer than when made of
new muslin. Bits of old linen
should always be saved for the
i.portant occasion of baby's birth,
for the nurse is sure to ask for
them.
Here is a list of things which
are necessities for the little new
conner:
Two dresses.
Two petticoats to match.
Four slips.
Four flannel petticoats.
Two nainsook petticoats.
Three orocheted sacks.
Three pairs knitted booties.
Three pairs white wool hose.
-Four vests.
Six bands.
Basket fitted out with soap,
powder, pins, etc.

Suddenly an incredible thing
happened. The city council of
Atlanta passed an ordinance
against rescuing girls! The men
lawmakers figured it out that If
girls knew they could be rescued
after they had fallen they would
lose all fear of falling, and would
rush into a fallen state with haste
and joy.
The chief of police threatened
to arrest Mrs. Barrett If she didn t
close her rescue home.
ARREST me if you must" she
said. I'm right, and l shall not
close this home and turn these
girls onto the streets"
AS she sat, on a rainy day, ex-
pecting the arrival of the police
almost every moment, she no.
ticed that a gang of street la
borers had gone to shed to get
out of a shower.
For no rhyme nor reason" as
she says, she went to them and
made the first of her thousands of
speeches. She told them her aims
and hopes and troubles.
Half an hour later Kate Waller
Barrett marched into the city hall
followed by 20 workingmen in
overalls. Before the aldermen she
made the second speech of her
life. Then, one after another, the
laboring men talked to the alder
men. The anti-rescue home ordi-
nance was killed and there was
started study of the work, which
resulted in their appropriating
$500 a month to the rescue home.
To-day Atlanta has one of the fin
est rescue homes in the world
with a 20-acre farm on which the
girls work in the open air.
And out of this grew the Ma
tional Florence Crittenton mis-
sion of which Kate Waller Bar
rett is president. This mission has
rs homes in the United States and
five in foreign lands. Last year
$4,000 girls received shelter in
the homes.
We never scold an unfortunate
girl, said Kate Waller Barrett tc
me. "All we try to do is to show
the girl where she is, what danger
Ishe faces and what she's III
against. And then we give her 9
chance to nurse her own child
That is the only way in which
she can pay her debt to the child
And when she goes out into the
world from the mission she ha.
done all she can to pay her debt
to the child and all her ignorance
as to the dangers of prostitution
has disappeared. We've told hel
all about it; she knows where she's
at. Her mother should have told
1t to her. Just as long as the girls
don't know and just as long as the
might boats" of youth go by and
lure a girl into the world, so Ions
will girls suffer.

TUBBY AND THE TIDE

1t was Tubby's first visit to the
beach, where there's so many in
teresting things to see, such fun
to go padding and to jump the
waves as they came in.
But the one thing that puzzled
him most was the tide. The water
would all "go way" as Tubby
said, and then hours later come
back as if all the little waves were
running races with each other to
see which would climb furthest up
the beach.
Now there was a lovely rock on
the beach in sight when the tide
was out. And such treasures of
shells and seaweed as one could
find there. Tubby had been told
time and again not to go there
when it was time for the tide to
come back home" because then
the rushing water covered the rock
entirely, and there was danger.
This day Tubby was finding just
hosts of things by the rock. So
busy was he that he forgot all
about the tide, when first thing he
knew his rock was an island. He
climbed to the top, but the water
kept coming faster and higher.
Tubby yelled and called with all
his might till two men in a boat

BUXTON, Hatteras Island, Apr
6.-All the animals on Hatteras
island run wild - ponies, cattle,
pigs, sheep and goats. There are no
fences and no cowboys, shepherds,
swineherds or goatherds, so the
domestic" animals of the island
live a nomadIc life that is anything
but that of the normal barnyard
animal.
Nevertheless each animal has an
owner. Even this shaggy scrub
steer shown in the above picture
has an owner, and If you look
down deep enough under his long
hair you will find the brand of
that owner.
OnGe a year there is a general
roundup. The sheep are sheared
and sheep and lambs are marked
with the signs manual of the
owners. Colts and calves are
branded. Hogs are marked with
metal clips. Then they are all
turned loose again. When an

WASHINGTON, D. c., April G..
In Stafford county, Va, over
half century ago, Kate Waller, a
young girl of a proud aristocratic
old southern family, stood evening
after evening under the trees on
her fathers estate beside the Poto-
mac river and watched the night
boat bound for Washington go
past with its crowds, lights and
music. This girl is gray-haired
woman now.
IF my mother could only have
known my thoughts in those days"
this gray-haired woman said to
me, cher hair would have turned

life and join the outside world. !

would have gone wrong, as the
world calls it. l wasn't wicked.
Youth and the world were urging
me as they urge every boy and
girl. | made up my mind that l
would love the first man from the
outside world who came along.
When he came l was only IS
years old. He proved to be a
young Episcopalian clergyman
named Barrett. 1t just happened
that he was one of the best men
God ever made; but even if he had
been a bad man, l think / would
have loved him and gone away
with him to God only knows
what"
Two years later Kate Waller
Barrett sat one June morning in
her home in Richmond inexpressi-
bly, happy, pouring her love and
attentions out on her two-month-
old baby boy. The knocker on the
door sounded. At the door stood
a weeping girl, stranger, in her
arms baby boy. When she had
told her story-the old story of a
mans deceit-the young rector's
wife was overcome with pity.

said, that l can enjoy and love
my baby, while yours is only a dis
grace to you. And yet the only diff
ference between you and me is that
the man | met and love happened
to be good and the man you met
and loved happened to be bad. It's

your place and you're not in mine

you're not like me, and I'm not

She began to seek out the unfor.
tunate girls of Richmond and she
cared for them. She realized that
these girls, too. had seen theil
might boats" and unfortunately
no one had prevented them from
following the lights and music.
The clergyman husband rose in
the church until he gained the
pulpit of church in Atlanta, the
most aristocratic Episcopaliar
church in the south.
The rector's wife built a cottage
for girls. The folks in the church
began to talk about her. She be-
gan to see that her position was
