CHILD COASTER IS
SPANKED BY WOMAN

Atlantic City, N. j., Feb. 22.-Even
the lights in the streets here are cast
into dimness by blaze of wrath that
emanates from two spinsters and a
surgeon. All the cottage colony is
warming itself gleefully at this fire.
A day or two ago Isabella Taggert,
the eight-year-old daughter of DR..
Thomas D. Taggert, a member of the
Philadelphia city troop. chose for
coasting purposes the gently sloping
lawn in front of the cottage occupied
by the Misses Anna Carberry and
Mary Daugherty. The Taggarts live
in the Marburg apartment house next
door
The Misses Carberry and Dougherty
objected to the coasting. In fact, 1t
is said they showed their resentment
actively by spanking Isabella and con-
fiscating her sled. When DIR. Taggart
heard Of that he grew exceedingly an
cry. OF course, it was thought at first
that his verbal explosion would be his
only manifestation of wrath. But
when he swore out warrant for the
Misses Carberry and Dougherty,
charging them with assault upon Isa-
bella and the larceny of her sled, the
whole colony showed active interest.
When a constable knocked at the
! door of the womene cottage and read
the warrants, the two nearly tainted.
They recovered. however, acknowledg.
ed service and promised to appear be.
fore Magistrate Jagmetty for hearing.
The spinsters say they repeatedly
warned the Taggart child not to coast
on their front lawn. But the lure of
the slopes apparently caused Isabella
TO forget the warnings.

RECEPTION GIVEN
TO FIGHTING men
Officers of Army, Navy and
Marines Entertained at
the White House.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 22.-Presi-
dent Taft last night received 5000
or more soldiers, sailors and ma
rines.' along with their relatives and
friends. The occasion was the last
official reception of the season. and it
was pretty nearly the most brilliant
Of its kind held in years. There were
more bright uniforms and pretty girls
than could be taken into account. and
the President has rarely appeared
happier than in greeting them all.
There were old fighters who swap
ped" stories of old times in the cor
ridor and youngsters who have yet
to get their first sniff Of powder
gunpowder-and between them were
diplomats. titled women, debutantes
and school girls.
Last night the gold lace Of the men
was excelled by the beautiful cos
tunes Of the women, and the picture
was an unending source of interest
to those who had never attended a
White House reception before.
seotehman Wore His kilties.
One of the most striking costumes
seen in the White House in years
was the uniform of Lieutenant Colo
mel McLachlan, military attache of the
British Embassy. who appeared in the
regalia of the Scotch Highlanders. 1t
has been a long time since kits were
seen in the White house at an evening
! reception. and Colonel McLachlan at.
tracted wide attention as he stood in
the blue room chatting with friends.
His coat was Of brilliant red,
with a plaid scarf cropped over one
shoulder and caught at the waist. He
wore short plaid skirt, plaid leggings
reaching to below the knee, and wore
a number of decorations on his breast.
Major General Adolphus w. Greedy
was another notable figure in whom
everybody appeared interested. and
Admiral Dewey was also the object
of much attention.
Miss Helen Taft was, of course, the
most attractive figure to the school
girl element at the reception. She
wore a particularly pretty gown OF
| light blue satin. and had silver EN-.
broidered scarf thrown over her shoul
ders.
Didn't Know Miss TAFT.
Miss Taft seemed to enjoy making
herself known to old officers she had
known out in the Philippines. One
of them, as she stepped up to him and
repeated his name, had to be told who
she was.

the East Room and there was an i'm

ever damned the garden.
Wells was the first to climb through
the ropes and was given a cordial
welcome. He was escorted by nine
seconds, including his manager, George
Mcdonald. The Engiishman was
trained fine and looked to be in tip
top shape. The little Teuton Brown
soon followed Wells into the ring. He
went at once towards Wells corner,
where he shook hands with his oppo-
nent.
Brown was smiling and confident
and hooked as right as a trivet.
1t was announced that both men had
weighed in under 1873 pounds. There
was some betting at 100 to IS on
