Tom Watson’s Home Life.
Jnincs Lanier.
A pair of wrens had nested in a cor
ner of tho awning on the back porch of
T im Watson’s house at Thomson. It
was a canvas awning, which shaded the
windows "of the summer dining-room
and ran the length of the porch. When
the tiny nest was discovered the awn
ing was down, and down it stayed,
through sunny days and dark days, un
til the little birds were feathered an*
had flown out into the world. Then the
awning was drawn up.
The summer was not quite over, and
the wrens soon had another nest built
in the awning and filled with eggs.
This time the awning stayed up,
through cloudy and sunny days, until
Tom Watson’s tiny friends were strong
enough to fly into the trees and shrub
bery around the house. This was laBt
year.
This spring Mr. Watson decided to
add two Bide porches to his house.
When the carpenters came to put up
the timbers for the porch on the west
ern side they found that a pair of
wrens had nested in an angle of a win
dow. Tom Watson was told about it,
and the work of building that porch
stopped right there. Contractors, car
penters, bricklayers aud concrete men
—all waited for the little wrens to
make their start in life ere the work
went on.
The birds and the squirrels are Tom’s
friends, and he protects them as he
would members of his own family. I
have heard tales of his shooting down
neighbor’s cows and dogs that were
trespassing. These were the verbal
wobblinga of distorted brains and
twisted tongues. Tom Watson was
never guilty of any act of wanton
cruelty. Stray cats with murderous-
ways; sparrows that quarrel noisily and
drive away the song birds; hawks and
all animals and birds of prey, are given
no quarter;-but all things that live
gently and usefully are friends of h’s.
You may sit in his library and hear the
w lodpeckers drumming under the
e ives, cutting their way to the open
s ,:ices under the roof, where they build
an I make their homes year after year.
N't long ago a red-bird—the, Kentucky
cardinal—-used to come daily to the
window to be fed; but some thought-
lesi boy shot him, to Mr. Watson’s in
tense anger and grief. Out in the
wi ie lawns and groves around the house
y iu can see the squirrels playing. Ev
erywhere you will find trees and shrubs
that bear nuts and berries, down to the
ragged pokeberry—all for the squirrels
and the birds.
Looking on these things, or reading
between these lines, you may learn
much of the true nature of the man-
gentle to the gentle, unrelenting to
cruelty, treachery and greed.
Tom Watson’s home life is very sim
ple—almost severe. His diet is plain,
and he is abstemious in all things.
Tnroughout his life he has never lost
an opportunity to strike at the evils of
intemperance and tho system of legis
lation which ailows the har-room to ex
ist. His first public speech was on that
subject. While in the Georgia Legisla
ture he drove whiskey out of four-hfths
of the counties cf (he State; and in
Congress he arraigned, and did his best
to demolish, the open saloon underneath
the Hall of Representatives.
He is a tremendously hard worker,
and when he quits work he throws ev
erything to one side, and puts every
atom of physical and nervous energy
into his exercise or pleasure. A man
who edits an influential weekly news
paper and a magazine of international
circulation; who is constantly contrib
uting articles to other publications;
who brings out»two or three new boqks
each year; acts as advisory counsel in
important law cases; conducts political
and educational campaigns; keeps up a
lively personal correspondence with
many thousands of friends and sympa
thizers, and incidentally looks after a
large number of charities, has not
many idle moments on his hands.
Satan will have a hard time to find
an opening to get at Tom Watson.
Adamson to Get Important Chair
manship.
Atlanta Journal.
Georgia is positively assured of threo
chairmanships in the Sixty-second Con
gress, and possibly more, as a result of
the recent landslide thht placed the
Democrats in complete control of the
Lower House. Congressmen Adamson,
Bartlett and Hardwick will certainly
pluck plums in the organization, and it
is not improbable that Congressmen
Brantley, Bell and Lee will land chair
manships. Congressmen Lee, Edwards,
Hughes, Raddenborry and tho newly-
elected members, Schley Howard und
Tribble, will be well cared for in tho
matter of committees.
Judge Adamson, who lives at Cnrroil-
ton and who represents the Fourth dis
trict, is in line for tho most desirable
chairmanship. He will head the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, of which Congressman Mann, of
Chicago,’ ,is now the chairman. This is
the same committee which Col. Pete
Hepburn, the veteran Iowa Congress
man, headed for so many years. It is
the committee that has given birth in
recent years to all of the^ate and rail
road legislation enacted by .the Federal
Congress.
Tho Hepburn rate law of 1906 was
born in the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commercp of the House of
Representatives. Col. Hepburn was
then chairman of the committee, ard
was in charge of the bill on its stormy
passage through the House, and later
in the prolonged wrangle in tile confer
ence committee between Senate and
House.
The Mann-Elkins Act of last year
first saw the legislative light in the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. Congressman James R.
Mann, of Chicago, hod succeeded to the
chairmanship of the committee upen
the retirement of Hepburn, and was in
complete charge of the bill on its pas-
s ige through the House.
Pure food legislation also comes un
der the direction of this committee, as
does also all legislation aimed at manu
factured products that move in inter
state commerce. The telegraph and
telephone companies, and, as indicated,
all railroads, deal and are dealt with
through this committee of tho House.
It is hard to magnify the importance
of the chairmanship.
The chairman of a Congressional com-
mitteqjp all powerj’ul.in his committee.
Indeotfi it has been said frequently that
a committee chairman is more powerful
in his immediate sphere than is the
Speaker of tho House himself. He pre
sides over the meetings of the commit
tee. He directs what bills shall and
shall not be considered in the commit
tee, and he has the last word about the
submission of reports to tho House. It
has been through committee chairmen
that Speaker Cannon is alleged to have
controlled legislation.
The chairmanship of the Committee
on Interstate und Foreign Commerce
carries with it some .desirable patron
age that is controlled by the chairman.
There is a committee clerk, besides the
stenographers, messengers and door
keepers. The clerkship pays at least
$2,200 per year, and the assistant’s
place is worth nearly as much.
FOR FALLING HAIR.
Taft Talks Sense.
Much is said these days about the un
certainty of justico in this country, as
compared with the criminal courts of
England. Murderers in the United
States often go unpunished if they
have money enough to biro tho kind of
lawyer they need, and tho result is that
the number of deaths from homicides
in the United States is growing at an
alarming rato. It is worthy of note
that the most eminent criminal lawyer
in England refused to undertake the
defense of Dr. Crippen, who has just
been convicted of wife-murder. Ih this
country our courts have become merely
legal tournaments between brilliant at
torneys, in which advantage is taken
of every conceivable technicality, rath
er than temples of justico whore It is
sought to discover “the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but tho
truth.” President Taft touched very
significantly on this phase of tho ques
tion the other day in a letter road at
the formal opening of a now building
for Columbia University in Now York.
“I cannot but feel,” he wrote, “that
one of the great needs of the American
bar to-day is the conviction, on tho
part of overy lawyer, that tho allo-
gianee which he owe^ to the court and
to the government is higher than that
which he owes his client, and that
there is a line beyond which he should
not go in protecting his client’s inter
ests. The desperate remedies which
the American lawyers seem willing to
adopt in saving their clients from de
feat in litigation, or punishment in
criminal prosecutions, find no counter
part in the practice of their, brother
barristers in England. I think it is
this fact, together with the disposition
of American Legislatures to lessen the
power of the Judge in trials by jury
at common law, which makes our ad
ministration of justice, especially in
the enforcement of the criminal laws,
seem too lame when compared with
the administration of t,ho Bamo lawB in
England under exactly the same con
stitutional restrictions, in tho protec
tion of tho rights iof the defendant,
that exist in this country.’’
On His Dignity.
Washington Star,'' ■
Senator Beveridge, at a recent dinner
in Washington, told a story abofat a
statesman of the past.
“Like many a statesman of tho past, ’ ’
said the Senator, “he drank too much,.
And ono Fourth of July morning, on a
platform hung with (lags and flowers,
before the court-house of a WeBtorn
country town, facing an nudlenco of
farmers and their families that had
come from miles around, the statesman
arose to deliver the Independence Day
oration in a slightly intoxicated state.
“He was not incapable of an oration,
but his unsteady gait and flushed face
and disordered attire Bpoke ill of him,
and the audience hissed and hooted.
He held up his hand. Thoy were silunt.
Then he laughed scornfully and said:
'Ladies and gentlomen, when a
statesman of my prominence consents
to appear in such a little, one-horse
town as this he must bo either drunk
or crazy. I prefer to be considered an
inebriate.’ ”
"’true Words.
Wo wero reading tho other day of
the fate of a young woman who had
been the victim of scandalous tongues.
’Her jife was ruined because some busy
gosBip had started a veiled suspicion
against her which htgl grown with the
telling utitil-it, bopame a black indict
ment current in the undertone of tho
community. There never was a definite
charge against her—nothing that she or
her friends could take by tho nock and
strangle, or hold up to the pqre light of
publicity and have it investigated and
refuted. Many people who did not help
to spread the slander wore unconscious
ly influenced by it, and file felt tho in
voluntary shrinking of her old-time
friends; wondered at it, grieved over it,
and, in this particular, differing from
tho really guilty who do not hesitate to
semi-openly flaunt their depravity in
tho face of society—finally ran away
from it.
Every community has some notorious
gossip — somo habitual hlaekoner, of
character. They are generally known
for what they are, and yet wlmt they
sny has Us baneful iniluonee. There
seems to bo an unclean piueo in most
people’s make-up that cnuscs"them to
listen to unclean suggestions regarding
the conduct and motives of those about
them. Many times tho better impulses
fight against this; many times the feel
ing that the unclean should not'bo toler
ated, becomes a conviction. But no per
son who allows a slander to be discussed
in his presence can be free from its in
fluence. You can’t get in a smut-room
without carrying away with you some
of tho smut.

To Remove a Glass Stopper.
When the ground glass stopper of a
bottle becomes jammed and cannot be
romovod without rjsk of breakage try
the following method; Take the wooden
handle of a kitchen knife and tap tho
stopper first on ona-Bido and then on
the other; if this fajjs to iooson it run
the cold fuucet on the stopper and sud
denly turn a warm Stream on the neck
of tho bottle. Care should bo taken
that the difference in temperature iB
not so great as to eauso the glass to
break. Tho warm water will expand
tho nock of the bottle, while the stopper
is still contracted by the cold, and the
slight difference in size between the two
will loosen tho lutter. ,,
1 Levon this method fails try tho fol
lowing: Take a Btout piece of cord
about five feet long and make a single
loop with it about the neck of the bot-
tlo, holding it between tho knoes or
gottin '• another person to hold It steady.
Now pull the cord rapidly from end to
en I, anj the heat developed by tho fric
tion should in a few seconds slightly
expand the neck of the decanter or bot
tle, so that the stopper may be re
moved with a couple of taps.
