Absent Ones

Absent Ones
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder. but the memory of the
absent one becomes vague and
dim. You long to picture in
your mind just how "HE' or
"SHE' would look, but there's
mysterious something which
makes this mental picture impos-
sible.
But if you had a photograph
before you, then You could recall
the forgotten face, YES, even the
kind acts, the gentle words.
Wouldn't that "ONE" so far
away appreciate your photograph
too.

TRICK IS PLAYED
 ON JUNGLE JOE''

Washington. January 21.-(Special.) J Miss Helen Cannon thought she was putting one&over on her uncle. Joe Cannon, but the question is, did she? :? Speaker Cannon needed new overcoat this winter, but he certainly did ob- ject to paying high cost of living prices and he wore the old one until it got on his nieces nerves. By doing much persuasion she finally induced him to see his tailor. There was no purchase. The tailor would not make an overcoat for S20 and Uncle Joe thought anything over that was ruin ous.
 Recently Miss Cannon told the tailor that she would pay the difference on anything her uncle might select, and the worthy tradesman then told the speaker he would sell him a good gar- ment for a twenty-dollar bill. The coat was made and 1t cost Miss Cannon $50 for her promise.
 The other day the speaker was talk ing about high prices. 'The reason liv- ing is so high is because young fel- lows permit themselves to be held up." Then he showed the group his new $20 overcoat.
 'I'll give you s25 for it. said one who knew thing or two. You're on," said the speaker, 'I can get it dupli- cated,'' so the deal was closed.
 But the speaker hasn't had It duplt- cated yet, and Miss Cannon is not mak- ing any remarks. ;

 To the Editor of The Age Hearld:
 A special from Huntsvile in your paper on Friday morning stated that Reuben Chapman, former Huntsville boy. who had been traced from Bir- mingham, was in jail at Huntsville for safeblowing. Of course. those who know me, would not confuse me with this individual who appears to bear the same nam.. but false impression might be created among strangers by the article. Therefore. I request you to state that do not know the alleged safeblower. nor whether he has any right to my name or not. but he is not related to or connected with me in any way.
 As for myself, have not been any where near the place of his alleged crimes and for the past several months have been working here for the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company. I have never been in jail nor have l been charged with any crimes.
 I will thank you to give publicity to this letter in order that any misappre- hension caused by the publication of the dispatch may be corrected Yours truly. Rl;l BEN CHAPMAN,

President Taft's Address

T am slad to be here and am glad to kilow that so much of the energy, the en- terprise and the intelligence of New York has been contributed by the sons of N H. F1m Penn. William Penn was in favor Of peace. So, too, are the men of Penn sylvania. But I assume that they are practical men who do not lose sight of facts and existing conditions in an ec- stacy of hope and Utopian enthusiasm.
 T am going 10 invite your attention to the question now pending in Congress as to whether the Panama canal ought to be fortified. I cannot think that any careful person will read the record of historical facts, treaties and acts of Congress and diplomatic negotiations without conceding the full right of the United States to for tify the canal. But memories are short records are not always at hand, and without in the slightest degree conceding that the existence of the full right of the United States to fortify her own property on the isthmus is in the slightest doubt, I venture before considering the question of the policy of fortifying the canal to re- fer to the history which makes the right incontestible.

 CANAL BE FORTIFIED
Wish to Appropriate S5, 100000

MAKES A LONG SPEECH
President Devotes Entire Address at Pennsylvania Banquet to His Plans By Which Panama Canal
 Should Be Protected

New York, January 21.-President Taft tonight began in earnest his campaign for the fertilization of the Panama canal His entire speech at the annual banquet of the Pennsylvania society in New York was devoted to this subject He has high hopes that Congress at this session will declare in his favor and appropriate S5,0o0,Go0 to begin the work.
 In the Senate the President has been told the sentiment for fertilization is almost two to one. The House seems pretty evenly divided, but not along parti- san lines. Most of the members appear to have an open mind. however, and are willing to be convinced by the side that makes the better presentation of it's case
 President Taft will bring all of his Influence to bear in favor of fortifica- tion
 In his speech tonight he said there was absolutely no treaty obligations In the way of fortifying the canal: that the United States had every right and reason to protect what was purely an American waterway.
 The President said he yielded to no man in his love of peace and hatred of war. He said he hoped to submit to the Senate soon arbitration treaties of broader nature than any that had ever come before that body or any other legis- lative body of the world. At the same time Mir. Taft cautioned his hearers that universal peace was still long way off and he could not conceive of any free and equal use of a waterway which was built by Americans largely as an instru- ment for the defense of this country.
 The Presidents visit to New York was a-fl1ing one. He left Washington short ly after noon today and will be back in the capital early tomorrow morning.
 It was his first trip under the North river through the new tubes and he was keenly interested in them as well as In the huge new station at Seventh avenue. From the station he went directly to the Hotel Astor for the Pennsylvania society dinner. At the conclusion of his address there he looked in at the annual dinner Of the New York Press club at the Hotel and made a second address. this time informal, then hurried to his train.
 The President was introduced by James M. Beck. president of the Pennsvlvania society of New York
