So Matt went. Buck answered, and the other three

You needn't to think that because them thar Pine Gap

THE YANKEE
BY HAPSBURG LIEBE

Matt told me afterwards that he thought that old
woman was goin' to break his neck whether or not
She had meant mountain people, you know and not her
boys.
"Lemme tell you, SIR she hollers out, aIve raised
my boys by the Bible from the cradle up, and the
hant Of EN- but what I'm proud Of I've raised
EN- right, and they hate whisky as much as do Mr.
Matt Bradng, my pore husband was as good man as
walked these here hills, and he was killed by

She pushed her faded bonnet back and stood thar
trenholm like leaf in earthquake, with her old eyes
shinin and her wrinked throat jest throbbin You
see, she'd give all her life to them sons Q hers. She
loved EN- much that she still tucked the covers
around EN- in the wintertime.
Matt told me that he wanted to say somethin, but
that it seemed like he couldn't think of nothin to fit
Now, guess how he fixed it all up Why he axed her
for half o the tother huckleberry pie, that's how:
Its sech good pie and 50 much like , them hem used
to eat back home" he says, turnin red like boy
"that CANT help akin for it. even if it hain't good
manners
Granny Carter stopped lookin mad and give him the
tother pie which he eat, every bit lock, stock ramrod
barrel and sights And he knowed bettern to offer to
pay for the pies. It'd made her mad and he knowed it.
V/ELL, Matt Brading got to passin' Granny Carriers
~ cabin every chanst he could git; and Granny
Carter took to keepn two fresh huckleberry pies
hands all the time, with their edges double scalloped
and lots o pinky places what the juice had soaked
through. And, Sir, she got to thnkin SO well of
him that she called him by the pet she called
all four of her own boys Honey Wunst he come
mighty nigh losin his everastn smile tryin to tell
her how much he appreciated her goodness to him. He

duty to help the law Matt do you reckon it'd be

thar is no question about it, says Matt. 1The
trouble is that the mountain people would look down
on you if they found it out"
Nobody don't have to know it, says the old woman

son is wealthy and the table expenses
must be paid out of the salary of the
president.
Mrs. Taft early decided to put her
household affairs in the hands of Mrs.
Jaffray, who came from Minneapolis.
She discharged them with so much
executive ability that Mrs. Wilson
was very glad to arrange for her dur
ing the Wilson regime.
The White House has only 80 ser
vants-a much smaller retinUe than
many of our millionaires consider
necessary to their comfort, but the
housing and feeding of this small
army alone would seem enough to oc-
cupy one wOman's time.
Mrs. Jaffay sets the proper ex-
ample to American hOusekeepers by
doing ALL HER OWN MARKETING.
She goes PERSONALLY to market
and she explained to me that she be-
Teves in the French idea of market
ing-buying only enough for the oc-
casiOn.
"Of course, I do buy in immense
quantities" she said, ''but you must
remember that we often give formal
dinners to 70 people and we have en-
tertained with refreshments as many
as 1000 people at a time!"
And right then Mrs. Jaffay told me
something which should be carefully
oO0cidorod NV +bOcn vVODon -yUbO not
ronize the deIicatessen shops.
"Everything which goes on the
White House table is made in the
White House kitchen and we never
get extra help when we have a big
dinner party.
I'VE make our own bread, soups,
salads, pastries, ices and buildings
and a WOMAN COOK has charge Of
it all, including the cooking of the

Of living is not so great as the cost
Of high living. do not, for instance,
buy strawberries when they are Is
cents a bOX-eVen for formal dinners
although saw many Washington
women of moderate circumstances
doing so early in the season"
Mrs. Jaffay runs the White House
Just as she did her own beautiful
home at Minneapolis. Each morning
the cook brings to her the menus for
the day and she usually makes some
changes. Then she has her confer
ence with Mrs. Wilson, to whom she
gives an outline of the days program.
Mrs. Wilson sometimes offers a sug-
gestion, but generally. the work goes
through as planned, for Mrs. Jaffay
has the White. House methods we'll in
hand. After this she does her mar
keting and gives her orders to the diff
ferent servants.
The afternoons are devoted to buy
ing the linen, china and glass and,
like all women, she takes great pleas
ure in this. She has just been stock
ing up the linen closets, and she
showed me some beautiful napkins
which, although of the finest damask
and beautifully embroidered, were
not of patterned linen.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL
Measure Carrying $146,0o0,ooo for
Ship Building Reported to
House.

Washington, Feb. 22-The naval
appropriation bill carrying $146,0O0 900
and authorizing two battleships. one
transport, one supply ship six tor
pedo boat destroyers and four sub
marines, has just been reported to
the house.
A final vote on the battleship con-
struction question over which there
had been contest for weeks was
taken at the last moment. An amend
ment to provide for one battleship in
stead of two was lost, to 9, the
economic advocates gaining two votes.
The big navy" men of the house
were confident last night of putting
the bill through as reported. Senti-
ment on the battleship question
among the Democrats is said to be
almost equally divided, while a con-
siderable majority of the Republicans
favor building at least two this year.
Last year when only one battleship
was authorized the naval bill appro-
priation was $l23.15l ,53S.

SAY REASON WAS DETHRONED
DOCTORS TESTIFY THAT INSANI.

One Physician Asserts Defendant was
Not Responsible for
Murder.

Vernon, Texas, Feb. 22-Two physi-
clans. DR., ID. c. Darnell and Or. }. Ed
son, both Of Vernon, testified that in
their opinion j. b. Sneads reason was
dethroned when he killed Al G.. Boyce,
Jr, at Amarillo last September and
that he was not capable of criminal
intent at the time. The physicians
testified for the defense at the trial
OF Snead, who is charged with muir
der.
Dr. Darneil asserted that Snead
probably would have killed all the
Boyces if he had seen them at the mo-
ment he killed All BCyce, the condi-
ton of his mind being such that he
was incapable of rejecting or reason
ing, and was governed entirely by his
subconscious mind.
On cross-examination Snead identi.
fled two letters, one from a telegraph
operator at Houston to Snead. diyulg-
ing contents Of message purporting
to have been from Al Boyce which the
operator had heard going over the
WIRE, bidding Mrs. Perkins of Louis
lana to come to Dallas to prevent
Snead from again locking up his wife.
The other was from Mrs. Perkins to
Mrs. Snead, in which she invited the
latter to visit Lake Charles, La.
The defense has practically closed
its case.
