TAFT WILL MAKE NO

Washington, d. c., Dec. 11-Presi-
dent Taft, if he is remembered, will
not be President on wheels" next
summer.
The Tafts will retire Immediately
after the end of this session of Con-
gress to their cottage at Beverly,
where the President will spend all his
time, awaiting the verdict of the peO-
pie on his first four years of admins
tration.
The last "front-porch" campaign was
that of William Mckinley, in 1896, at
Canton, O. 1t cannot be said author
iatively that Taft is looking forward
to "front-porch" campaign. In the
first place the North Shore of Massa-
chusetts is long way from almost
every part of the United States. And
in the second place, the railroads are
prohibited by law, since the 1896 cam
paign, from carrying delegations free.

complish his wishes Twelve eggs
were placed in a nest and alarge hen
selected. Three times a day she was
given hypodermic injection of NOR
phine in the leg. According to the

the nest except on one occasion when
she walked up to the house, stuck up
her right leg, received a small guam
tity of the drug, and returned.

Sumter county has the distinction
of having secured the large invest

ON A winged BOAT
He WILL FLY IN AIR

New York, December 11.-An ocean
going motor boat with biplane wings
is being built for Walter Brookins,
one of the first aviators to be train
ed by the Wright brothers. AS soon
as the weather is milder the noted
aviator proposes to fly his unique
craft from New York City to Atlantic
City, N. j., as a test. He hopes TO
make the ninety miles, covered by an
express train in three hours in less
than an hour and fifteen minutes.
Brookins has been planning every
detail of the craft for the past year.
When he came to New York recent
ly he brought the drawings with him
and hunted up a boat builder to con-
struct the marine craft The wings
for the aerial motor boat are being
built in an aeroplane factory.
The motor boat is to be built en-
tirely of metal and will be about
thirty-five feet long. 1t will have
the long rakish lines of a torpedo
boat. In effect it is to be torpedo
to be hurled through the air. The
biplane wings will be fixed to the
forward part of the boat. The motors
are to be placed in the bow, and
a propeller for flying purposes will
be placed in front A turbine pro-
peller will be fixed in the rear.
J. The craft is built to fly seventy
five miles an hour. Brookins, pro-
poses to start the aero-motor boat in
the water and after acquiring suffl-
cient running speed he will lift it in
the air. He hopes to be able to fly
the craft at any height desired. When
he reaches the port where he wishes
to descend he purposes to land on
the water within one hundred yards
of his pier. The craft will be run to
its landing stage as a motor boat.

may benefit from. The cost of pub
fishing a book in the raised characters
which the blind read by moving their
fingers over them is so great that

not possibly otherwise enjoy.
