AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.

There is always plenty Of adj
verse criticism of American news
papers. Now and then some one
with authority praises them and
induces the public to concede lit
tie in their favor.
a member of the British delega-
ton at the Washington arms con-
ference has recently returned to
England. Soon after his arrival
there he spoke in public on the sub
ject Of Amercain characteristics
and customs. OF the press Of this
country he said:
The obsession Of American
newspapermen for accuracy is al
most astounding.
Americans can never plead
that they are not enlightened on
changes of policy. fer they have
an exceptionally well-informed
press
The newspaper people them
selves are probably too busy to
pause long to note or rejoice over
this tribute 10 them. But other
citizens could profitahly give it a
little thought before registering
their next kick against their ia
vorite papers.

tee some information as to the
Kentucky situation, the following
repl;. was received:
Owing to my absence from the

reply VIII say chat there are about
1872 loose leaf warehouses in the
entire Burley district. Of these
houses cur association nc~ OWES
III, and there are Is houses, most
ly small ones, selling tobacco at
public auction.
'Cp TO this time they have sold
around thirty seven TO tilirty-eight
million pounds, and for the last
ten days receipt in these houses
are extremely light. and IN my
opinion, they viii not sell over
tweive or fifteen million pounds
more.
The association began receiv-
ing tobacco in Lexington on Thurs
day, January 10th, and on Mon
day, January Goth we began receiv-
ing in all Of our other receiving
points, about 80 n number.
We are making u substantial ad-
vance TO each farmer on delivery
of his tobacco, and this advance in
most cases has proven to be more
than the farmer got for his entire
crop last year, and am glad to say
the farmers over the entire district
are not only satisfied, but are
charmed with the way their associ-
alton has started off.
We estimate that the association
will handle this year IN the neigh
borhood of 150.000,000 pounds and
from present indications, l feel
confident that We VIII sell most OF
our tobacco in winter order. How
ever, We are prepared to finance
and redry all Of the crop. if 1t be-
comes necessary TO do so.
We all feel very much encourag-
ed over the way Our operation has
started OF. and the members Of the
association are pleased With the way
their business is being handled, and
l feel confident il is going to be
the salvation OF the business in
terest OF our section.
Ii there is any information at
any time that you desire, write me

DO OUR FACES KEEP WARM IN
COLD WEATHER?

~ UR faces do get cold, as may be
proven by the application OF
what is known as a surface
thermometer" but we do not feel the
cold because the nerves by which we
are conscious of change In tempera-
ture are accustomed to this state OF
things and take no notice of 1t. If we
were accustomed to go out barefoot,
but with our faces covered, the pres
ent condition would be reversed and
we would not "feel" the cold in our
feet, but our face would be very I'M
comfortable the moment we removed
the covering.
The same principle Is apparent in
number of other things-in the tenn
perature of water which is too cold
to battle in but hardly cool enough to
drink; in country persons who find
difficulty In sleeping in the city on ac-
count of the noise and city people who
can't sleep in the country because 1T
is too quiet; in those who are aceus-
toned to work In the glare of a blind
ing light and those who labor In CON-
parative darkness. In other words, It's
merely a matter of habit.

mer until tender. When cool, remove
the skin, dredge with flour, salt and
pepper. Slice one onion and brown it
In hot fat. Put in the tongue, add two
tablespoonfuls of turnip and carrot
cut fine, two cloves, peppercorn,
bit of celery root, or sprig OF
parsley. Cover with boiling water,
put on the cover and let cook slowly
in a moderate oven for two hours.
Turn the tongue after the first hour
and add more water if necessary.
There should be about a pint when the
tongue is done. Remove the fat from
the gravy, thicken with flour wet with
water and add one cupful Of tomato.
Strain the sauce over the tongue after
placing it on platter.

MIR. TAFT'S AMBITION
TROM the Gay he left law school 1t
was the ambition of William IL.
s,,r Of

rROM the Gay he left law school 1t
was the ambition of William IL.
Taft to be chief justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Through the years, Mr.. Taft bent
his energies to the achievement OF that
ambition. He became judge early In
life, and made a good record.
He left the bench for service under
President Roosevelt, believing that
through work for the nation he would
be better able to reach his goal.
When ,he was offered the post OF sec
rotary of war. Mr.. Taft made 1t known
to Mr.. Roosevelt that he would pre-
fer a place on the Supreme bench.
No place was open at that time and
he accepted the secretaryship with the
understanding that his ambition might
be gratified later.
Then the exigencies Of politics made
him a candidate for the presidency, an
honor no American of ability is likely
to refuse.
Mr.. Taft became President, yet his
real ambition had not been achieved.
Now he has been given the post he
so long wanted, and will, most people
believe, fill it with great credit.
OF course, few men can single out a
particular high post as the object OF a
life ambition with any hope of attain
ing 1t.
Yet it was because Mr.. Taft wanted
to be chief justice that he developed
the ability that made him first COVER
nor of the Philippines, then sort OIL
rowing commissioner for Mr.. Roose-
welt and later secretary of war.
II he had not wanted, with all his
heart, to be chief justice, he would
never have been President. Content
ment with federal judgeship would
have kept him always in Ohio.
The golfer who plays a strong
steady game, sometimes achieves the
well-nigh impossible and makes a hole
in one. The careless, half-interested
golfer never does.
Honest ambition may not get man
what he wants, but it is sure to make
him ADLER and better qualified for high
position, and brings him some .impOr-
tant reward.

THE LAST CHAPTER

THE hunters joy is in the tale,
More great than in the kill;
The sailor rides the wintry gale
Not for the wintry thrill
But that at nighttime he may sit
Before the fire recOunting it.
For this men climb the steepest mount
And walk the widest plain,
And bring to firesides an account
OF all the toll and pain
The toll and pain made pleasure when
They tell the tale to other men.
For Memory is healing nurse
Who makes our minds forget
The rocks and rivers that we curse
No, we remember yet
And vet remember rather glad
Fer every hurt we ever had.
Life's an Adventure, like the trail,
The cruise across the seas;
1t has it's hill, it has its gale,
It has it's memories;
And we shall sit in quiet age
Made glad by every blotted page.
Yes, Time shall soften every fall
And leave the story dear.
Life shall be lovely, after all,
The hurts shall disappear;
without occasional defeat
Life's story had not been complete.

TASTY GOOD THINGS

TONGUE is considered a great
delicacy. 1t should always be
cooked slowly on the back Of
the range or over the simmering burn
er. When the tongue is tender take
it from the fire and let 1t cool in the
kettle. When cool take from the ket-
tie, remove the skin. Tongue should
not be sailed while cooking but diff
ferent f1avors may be added, with
herbs, carrot, onion, olives and
turnip.
