TEMPTATION AND THE TENOR.

MEMORY CORNERS. BY Tom Gallon

Dillingham; Company.
This IS an attractive and simple ro-
nance. whose scene is chiefly laid IN
nuiet nelghborhood in London. not unlike
Pomander Walk. Thither comes the
youth with the golden voice. one or those
voices that impresarios are always seek
ing and Oscar Hammerstein Is reputed

the singer brings romance and thence he
. goes, leaving behind him fleeting UNI
happiness and then oblivion. A general
utility" a contralto in the best years OF
her tempestuous womanhood, lures the
boy from his simple first allegiance in
the glamour of his first success; them
from motives partly self-denying and
partly selfish, leaves him TO his undoing
All this is but a bald outline OF very
cleverly written story, whose sentiment
tai appeal is genuine and direct. Mr.
Gallon has created an original environ
ment for this sort OF tale In the little
house in Hampstead where the two
maiden aunts dwell with their adopted
daughter and take In the lost son OF
| their dead sister. The character Of the

that there are few inaccuracies in the

VITAL STATISTICS
Law NOT Being
OBSERVED
DR.. SUMMERS, LOCAL REGISTRAR,
CALLS ATTENTION TO THE
: REQUIREMENTS.

The law relating to the registration
of vital statistics being new law,
some time seems to be required for all
of those charged with making reports
to learn that the law was made to be
observed. AS the law imposes heavy
penalties for noncompliance with its
provisions, DR.. E. L. Summers, the
local registrar calls attention of all
physicians and others charged with
the duty of reporting such statistics
to the fact that. all deaths and births
must be reported within ten days from
date of their occurrence.
In making his report to the State
Board of Health for November, DR..
Summers found that only about fifty
per cent of births and deaths had been
registered at his office for that month.
He made special request for elem
ency towards those derelict of duty
for this time, but warns all who are
charged with making such statistical
reports that their neglect will not be
overlooked in future reports.
The observance of this law being a
matter of importance to the State
Board of Health, the enforcement of
its provisions will be a matter in the
hands of that board, and it will be
well for all interested to get the idea
well implanted in their minds. A fail
ure to do so may cause some one to
pay a fine that simple care and prompt
ness would avoid.

Most Important Period
is Until Saturday Night

Everything points to more success
full week securing votes than that just
past. The handicap seems to have
been lifted, and the ambitious candi-
dates are taking advantage Of the add.
ed opportunity of securing double votes
on all subscriptions turned in this
week. Each day number of persons
inquire as to the progress being made
by certain candidates, and pledging
them subscriptions. There is no rea.
son why a person who really intends
to win one of the prizes should waste
one moment of this weeks valuable
time. The main reason why they
should work harder than ever before
is that they will never have another
chance to turn in their subscriptions
for as many votes as at this time.
In speaking of the double vote of
! fer this week one candidate remarked
that while "she had not requested it.
she was truly thankful to The News
for giving every candidate a chance
to do their best. and have their sub
scriptions count for the most votes.

LUMBERMEN LOOK

CONDITIONS, WITH EXCEPTION OF
CAR SITUATION, REPORTED
AS SATISFACTORY.

The meeting of the Mississippi Pine
Association held here yesterday was
attended by only few members. Re
ports as to the car situation show it
to be growing more acute. The rail
roads have advised all mills that no
more open cars will be furnished until
after January 1st.
The mills as rule have sold output
for so and 80 days ahead and but few
cancellations are noteo.
The belief was expressed by those
attending the meeting that prices will
improve after the first of next year.
The ten-hour law is being strictly
observed, but reports fail to bear out
the claim often made that as much
lumber could be cut in ten hours as in
eleven hours. Labor conditions were
reported as satisfactory.

SENATE TO DECIDE
The CANAL
DISPUTE
WHETHER GREAT BRITAIN's PRO-
TEST GOES HAGUE MUST BE
SETTLED BY UPPER HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Whether
Great Britain's- protest against free
passage of American ships through
the Panama Canal is to be submitted
to The Hague, is to be finally deter
mined by the Senate in any event. 1t
was intimated Tuesday that President
Taft, consistent with his attitude as a
principal champion Of arbitration of
disputes between nations, might rec
ommend such course, should he and
Secretary Knox not hold the question
a purely domestic and internal one,
and therefore not arbitrate. There
was a considerable leaning to such a
view among senators.
The British governments note was
discussed informally by President Taft
and his cabinet Tuesday, but it was
said that until Secretary Knox had
time to study it at length, and proba-
bly, had outlined reply, it would not
be taken up formally. That probably
will not be for several weeks.
A suggestion that the matter might
be kept from arbitration by delay un-
til the existing arbitration treaty with
Great Britain expires by limitation
next June, was repudiated by num-
Der of senators. Senator Lodge, a
prominent member of the Foreign Re-
lations committe, declared that THE
United States would non stoop to
tricks."f Senator Sutherland declared
the question purely domestic one
and, therefore, not subject to arbitra-
ton.

FHANClS JOSEPH,
Vienna, Dec. 11.-The extraordinary
mental freshness displayed by the EN-
peror Francis Joseph during the re-
cent critical period in international
politics has amazed even those most
familiar with his marvellous energy.

in his S3rd year, has thorough knowl
edge of the entire course of the Bal
kan war and is acquainted with the
names of all the military leaders and
of all the important engagements. An
exact account Of the event has been
laid on the table of the Emperor's
study since the first outbreak of hos
tilities, with large map of the seat
of war, upon which the Emperor has
indicated the position of the various
armies daily by means of colored
flags.

The campaign is fast drawing to a

week. Plenty of time is left for one
to win any of the prizes offered; but

ample opportunity to make up for lost
time, and build up reserve vote. The

night, Dec. IA, and the regular sched-
ule will be in effect the following Mon
day. Hustle, do your beEt this week,
and everybody will be satisfied. Your
friends, who have supported you, are
expecting that you win one Of the
prizes, and one should not betray the
confidence placed in them this late in
the day. Make up your mind to win
and do your very best work by Satur
