You are a good little boy. Now
let's go out and receive our guest"
They went out on the porch.
"Howdy Gordon" was MiIdred's
greeting. Elmer has found us out
He knows we call each other by our
first names What's on the tapis for

Il propose that we go to my place
There's some things there that might
interest Elmer-the ball field, for in

Gee whiz, you got a ball fieId?"
exclaimed the lad.
Certainly l have, and if YOU be-
have yourself and promise not to
tease Mildred, maybe, you and I viii
have a little game of tossing the ball
around"
"Oh, hurry, Mildred; let's get
started" cried Elmer.
A Regular Ball Field.
They were soon at the granite posts
that marked the entrance to the big
estate. The private driveway leading
to the mansion was nearly a mile and
a half long. When they emerged from
the forest Of trees and Elmer saw
the big granite mansion for the first
time his eyes bulged in surprise. Cor
don drove the car around the house to
give the lad a good view of it and
then turned off toward the north.
About a quarter of a mile further on
they came to the ball field, which was
in valley sheltered from the wind.
Elmer went in ecstasies and Mildred
could not express an exclamation of
delight at the particularly neat ar
rangement Of things. The diamond
was laid out in the regulation man
ner. The field was very large and
was bordered by a wire fence. Away
out in the outfeld a steam lawn
mower was at work while Steve
Gordon's cOlored boy, was busy mark
ing out the foul lines with fresh
whitewash.

Mildred's comment. And this is
where you learned to play basebaIl?"
Right here replied Gordon, smil-

Il suppose you had a lot of the
workmen around the place to play
with you?"
mo, I didn't"
DO you mean to say you learned
to play baseball out here all alone ?"
"Al alone, except for a little aid
from Steve"
How in the world could you do
it," demanded Mildred.
Gordon laughed.
That's what all the reporters in
Atlanta kept asking me-" he replied.
The answer is simple enough. I'll

Wife Never Left Him.

I'm the meantime my father did
not leave his house. My mother never
left him for an instant. They be-
came so wrapped up in their project
that all other thoughts were banished
from their minds. My father began
drawing plans before the site was
selected. The moment the deeds
were passed, horses, teams, several
camping outfits and all manner of
supplies were loaded on a train. Six
men and foreman went along NV
parents. with two servants, followed.
They pitched camp on the hanks Of
this brook and from that beginning
you see the result all around you.
From that day Mildred. neither
my father nor my mother ever left

were living abroad. My unCles and
their families used to come down
from New York occasionally, and at
rare intervals some very close friend
of my parents would come for a quiet
visit My mother never left my faith

Why was that, Gordon?' asked
Mildred in a low tone

was his wish. Strange as it NAV seem
in one otherwise so normal and
healthy in every way, he was pos
sessed of the fear that someone, in
some way, would offer him a temp

How strange said Mildred.
Strange, but prophetic have to
tell you the rest, Mildred"
Don't unless you wish to. dearest.
but l can hear it; I can sympathize.
You would tell me something,
wouldn't you?"
Perhaps it is best that I tell Won
now. In the midst of our happiness
and Contentment, for none of us had
the slightest desire to go to Chatta-
nooga, which is less than fifty miles
from ] rein the midst of our Quiet
pleasures, my mother was taken
away, 1t was quite sudden; three
years ago next November. Almost
the last words she said to me were
contained in a request that I take
her place at my fathe-'s side and
never leave him for an ms mt. She
seemed to have some foreboding."
A Great Change.
Gordon's voice was hardly above

Are in Doubt.

Washington, D. CT is stated posi-
lively in high congressional quarters
closely identified with the incoming
administration of President Wilson
that the following cabinet appoint

upon;
Secretary Of state-William ]. Bry.

Secretary of the treasury-William

Secretary of the navy-Josephus

Other places in the sabinet are said
to be reasonably settled with the ex-
ception of the portfolios of war and
agriculture.
The name of A. Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania, which has been promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the attorney generalship, now is def
initely eliminated. 1t appears that
cabinet position was rendered to Mr..
Palmer and declined, the expectation
being that he would remain in the
house of representatives to be, in
sense, the personal representative of
Mr. Wilson in the important legisla-
ton about to be formulated.

FRIEDMAN ARRIVES WITH
HIS TUBURCUL QSIS cHRE
German Scientist. Discoverer of the
Phthlsis Specific, Is Guest of
New York Banker.

New York, Feb. 26--Dr Frederick
Friedman, who says he has discov-
cred a cure for tuberculosis, arrived
in port from Berlin. He was met by
Dr. Milton H. Foster of the United
States marine hospital service and
promised he would turn over a guam
tity of the serum to be tested by the
government.
DR.. Friedman also agreed to meet
a laboratory expert of the government
in this city Thursday to arrange for
a demonstration of the efficacy of his
treatment before physicians Of the
hospital service.
DR.. Friedman, who comes to this
country at the invitation Of Charles
E. Finlay, a New York banker, who
hopes the physician will be able to
cure his son-in-law, declared that his
remedy was not secret and that he
purposed to make known ito all the
world" the method by which it was
created and the manner in which it
was administered.
1t consisted of bacilli taken from
turtle into which a tubercular bacilli
from a person had been injected, he
explained.
Il have been working on the cure
for IA years, and in the last two and
a half years l have treated from
$500 to 5000 patients" he asserted.
How many have absolutely cured
cannot estimate, but their number
has run into the hundreds.
Il want all mankind to benefit by
my discovery. | already have turned
some Of my bacilli to the German gov
eminent and am very glad to turn
it over to the American government"

Convictions Under Law
Are Affirmed.

Washington, D. Con the the
DRY that traffic in women in interstate
commerce may be regulated by legis
lation as well as the traffic in diugs
or cattle, the supreme court of the
United States upheld the validity of
the federal white slave traffic law of
1910. 1t had been contended that this
question of morality was reserved for
action by the states. Justice McKen-
ma delivered the courts opinion,
"Our dual form of government has
its perplexities," said he, state and
nation having different spheres of jur-
isdiction, but it must be kept in mind
that we are one people and the pow
ers reserved to the states and those
conferred in the nation are adopted
to be exercised, whether independent
ly or concurrently, to promote the gen.
eral welfare, material and moral. This
is the effect of the decisions, and
surely if The facility of interstate
transportation can be taken away
from the Decentralization of lotteries,
the debasement Of obscene literature,
the contagion of diseased cattle or per
SONS, the 1mpurty Of food and drugs,
the like facility can be taken away
from the systematic debauchery of
women and, more insistently, of girls"
The supreme court had several cases
before it in which the constitutional
ity of the Mann act was attacked, but
made its decision on the case of Eff
fie Hoke of Beaumont, Tex, and Basi-
10 Economics, a New Orleans saloon
keeper, sentenced to six years each
for illegal transportation of women
from New Orleans to Beaumont. Their
conviction was affirmed,

OLD GREELEY HOME.
Birthplace Of Famous Editor Is
Still Preserved.
Homestead Is in New Hampshire
About Fifty Miles From Boston
and Resembles old-Fashioned
Farmhouse.

Boston.-Soarcely fifty miles from
Boston, isolated and alone in a de-
ightful rural community among New
Hampshire's hills, sheltered by pro-
tecting oaks and elms, decorated with
fruitful orchards and fertile gardens,
surrounded by dense thickets of pine
forests, homelike and cozy, with all its
woeful lack of paint, is quaint, old
fashioned farmhouse.
Not the large, roomy old domicile Of
colonial days, nor the rough, untin-
ished and uncouth shack of frontier
farmer; rather, small, real, home
like New Hampshire farmhouse. Six
rooms measure the size Of the house,
with woodshed and cattle barns near
by.
The exact date when the old house
was built is unknown, but it is a pro-
duction Of the colonial period OF ar
chitecture; for before the revolution
a band Of counterfeiters occupied it,
and here manufactured, until captured
by the authorities, their spurious
coin.
A broad drive leads to the front
door. The exterior is black with age,
except for a few decorated patches
of recently applied clapboards to keep
out the wind. No blinds guard the
windows, and the sunshine sparkles
through the small window panes with
out hindrance.
A front door and a side one are the
means of egress and entrance. A
large strip of lawn fronts the house,
and besides the efforts Of nature man
has unknowingly aided In the beauti-
sying by an adornment in the shape
of a huge pile of pine and birch logs.
Giant shade trees shelter the roadway
leading to the house; the blue peaks

coNeREssMEN STIRRED BY PLAN
OF PREslDENT-ELEcT TO
BE NEAR CONGRESS.
MANY SEEM TO FAVOR IT
Magazine interviewer Says Governor
Told of Intention to Use His
Ornate Room-Would over
throw Precedent.

Washington, D. C.-Lively discus.
sion has been precipitated in congress
sional circles by a published state
ment credited to President-elect Will
son that he intended to spend part Of
each working day in the presidents
room at the capitol to keep in touch
with legislative offices.
Such action on the part of the presl,
dent would overturn a precedent
which has restricted the presidents
visit to the capitol to the last hours
of session Of congress.
To BE at Capitol Daily.
A writer in an Eastern magazine, in
telling of an interview with Gov. VIII
son, said
HE has asked whether there was
presidents room at the capitol. told
him there is presidents ornate room
there. Then he said he has it in mind
to spend several hours each day in
that room, close at hand to congress,
wherein, as he wisely realizes, large
portion of his success or failure will
be determined; for he can make no
laws himself and congress must make
them"
He had concluded, he said, that it
is about as far from the capitol to the
white house as it is from the capitol
at Washington to Trenton, and he
could obviate a good many of the diff
ficulties that must arise between con.
gress and the president by being up
there each day-close at hand-to see
legislators and to be seen by them.
Democratic leaders discuss the re-
ported plan with reluctance, though
many seemed to favor it.
Some Democratic leaders Of the SEN
ate say they believe Mr.. Wilson will
find it impossible to leave his eXecu-
tive duties and visit the capitol from
day to day, and that he will not find
it so easy to confer over the progress
of legislation at the capitol as at the
White House. Some Democrats ex-
press the opinion that such visits of
president might not be received with
favor if he came to take hand iU
shaping legislation.
