NEW YORK. Dec. 6 Her mother-
love rising superior to all else, Mrs.
Martin Be'rker. of Winfield, I.. 1 .
yesterday declared her only one wish
1* that her husband, who eloped in
September with his stepdaughter,
Lillian Herbs*, will marry the girl.
“I have shed my last tear,” she
said. ”1 can cry no more, and fur
ther disgrace, so far as I am con
cerned, is impossible. My daughter’s
future unless my husband marries
her can be nothing but the blackest.
If he will promise to come back with
her and marry her, I will get a di
vorce. It will be hard to go into
c ourt and say that my home, my life,
was wrecked by my own daughter,
but it will be only telling on the
witness stand what the whole world
knows. It will not be nearly so hard
as the blow their elopement was.
“Then. too. I want my child, it
was cruel for them to go away, but
more cruel to take my baby Evelyn.
1 forgive them. 1 only wish I eould
forget as easily as I have forgiven.”
Mrs. Becker was the widow of
Henry Herbst when she married
Becker six years ago. She had two
c hildren. Lillian 1f> and very pretty,
and John, 11. Last summer she was
in a hospital for four weeks. Lillian
kept house for the stepfather, her
brother and little sister.

OLD-TIME DISTILLERY

Alabama has one thing no ether State

tillery of the old type so prevalent a
few decades ago in this eas«% the
seeming lack of progress is real prog
ress, for by the old method the distiller
got only two and a half gallons of liq
uor from a bushel of corn and it was
considered to be a generally healthful
and palatable beverage
By the newer modern method the dis
tilleries add what is known as a cooker
to their equipment, and boil out the last
drop of juice from the corn, getting as
much as five gallons to the bushel But
the quality Is said not to be so good
This old-time distillery is busy every
day turning out corn liquor for people
who prefer the old-time article.
‘ Yes,” said Mr. Moore, proprietor of
this old plant at Girard. Ala., "we are
satisfied to do It the old-fashioned way.

Bees Acquire Opium
Habit From Poppies
OOLCMBl'S. Dec. 6.—Just add this
one to all the queer things that have
happened in the year of grace 1913. and
believe It's true because W. E. Baker,
Deputy Auditor of the State of Ohio,
says he can prove it.
The honey bees near Fostoria. which
is Baker's home town, have contracted
the opium habit. Like the Chinese, they
get theirs from the poppy. Baker and
many other residents of Fostoria grow
Oriental poppies.
The bees have found this out and of
late they are leaving acres of clover
blossoms to hunt out the poppy beds.
They work vigorously for an hour cr
so and then fall to the ground appar
ently as stupefied as are Chinese opium
smokers after "hitting, the pipe.”
