Archibald Butts, military aide to Presi-
dent Taft, is about to become the
presidents brother-in-law. The story
had it that he was engaged to marry
Mrs. Taft's sister, Mrs. Thomas K.

Major Butts, asked TO confirm the

Mr.. Warburton Of the state of Wash
ington has attracted a good deal Of at
tention through his charge made in the
house to the effect that congress is let
ting millions of dollars go to waste that
might be collected in internal revenue
taxes on tobacco. During his speech
Congressman Warburton attacked the
pending wool tariff revision, and de-
clared the plea OF the majority in the
house OF meeting revenue for the gov
eminent treasury was not genuine ar
gument for keeping high tax on wool
goods. Branching out upon the sub
ject of tobacco he declared: If the
government would put reasonable tax
on tobacco, which may be considered
luxury, it could let in wooden goods,
cotton goods and sugar without any tariff
whatever. If this country taxed to-
bacco as England or France does, we
could close the doors of all the customs
houses, except as to the importations

fired the Last Shot

The last shot in the Civil War was
fred by Sergeant A. T. Kendall, of the
Orphan Brigade, who now lives on
farm less than five miles from Louis
vile, KY. The Orphan Brigade sur
rendered ten days after Johnson and
weeks after Lee. It was defending
rolling stock of engines and cars, al
Boykine's Mills, near Camden, S. c.,
from General Potter, who had seven
thousand men, and was fighting ten
days before Colonel Thompson ordered
a retreat after the Federals had ceased
TO fire, but were trying to flank the
brigade in the dusk. Kendall was
reprimanded for firing after the COM
mand was given 10 fall back. Early
the next morning an order came from
Johnson 10 conclude an armistice with
General Potter, and it was done, the
Orphan Brigade laying down arms at
Washington, Ga. The only picture
taken of Mr. Kendall since he joined
the militia in 1860 was obtained few
days ago, when, after much persuasion
he went to Louisville for it. Until
about year ago he had not thought
of the close OF the war in the light
that made him recognize the fact that
he was the last man TO fire shot in it.,
and the story has never before been
told. He is tall and straight and ac-
tive, sixty-seven years old.

Democratic members OF the house
who bitterly scored one another in their
caucus wherein wool schedules were
considered, are repeating the policy of
the special session inasmuch as they
are now patting one another on the

individual views are advancing the wool
bill toward passage. And again it is
demonstrated tina, the o K OF the eau

squelch all objection in the ranks Of the

Spending

To spend is not sin. Unwise spend
ing is what constitutes the sin.
For a child to be taught TO hoard
everything is as great a sin as to be
allowed TO spend without guidance.
The child who spends uselessly be-
comes a spendthrift and parasite on
the community.
The child who boards becomes sell
fish, narrow and mentally an unhealth-
ty citizen.
The School Savings Banks are doing
much to adjust these two extremes.
The schools and teachers who have
undertaken this line of work are build
ing we'll for the future commonwealth.
1t is tending to both thriftiness and
unselfshness.
School Banks were first introduced
into the United States in 1885 from
France. In 1898 there were 325
School Savings Banks that had $780,
634 on deposit. In 1905 the number
had increased 40 4,541 and the depos-
its TO $2,7S2,012.

and the earning idea is always worth
