is built right.”

TAFT APPROVES THE LOCK CANAL

This Statement Made In New Orleans Speech. SOCIALIST BANNERS DOWN AuthoritiX Maintain the Non-Partisan Character of Reception to the Presi- ‘ dent Elect by Having Removed Canvas Bearing the Inscription: “Why Should One Man Hold Another Man’s Job?” —Hitchcock and Shaffer Ready For Conference on Cabinet. New Orleans, Feb. 12.—-President Elect William H. Taft in the brief speech he made following his landing here from Panama heartily approved the present lock type of canal across the isthmus. He reviewed a parade of enthusiastic citizens miles in length and attended one of the carnival season balls, that of the Elves of Oberon. Tait today will address the negro Y. M. C. A., spend several hours in automobiling and at night be the guest of honor at an elaborate banquet at which nearly 500 prominent citizens will pay $25 a plate to participate. Tomorrow morning the p/esident elect will go to Cincinnati, from where, on Monday, he will leave for Washington, returning again to Cincinnati Wednesday. Meets Old College Chum. The president elect recognized many old friends among those who greeted him upon his arrival. “Why there Js my old Yale friend, Louis Le Burgeois.” exclaimed the! son of Ohio, grasping the hand of a man who appeared almost a counterpart of himself. “Say, Bill, how much do you weigh?” asWd Le Burgeois, by way of greeting. « “Louie, I’ve got you beat all right.” said Judge Taft. “I weigh 290?’ “You have a little on me,” said Le Burgeois, "I weight 280, but I’m still growing.” “Well, you have something to look forward to,” rejoined Judge Taft, who, calling Mrs. Taft, said: “I want you to meet my old classmate at Yale, Louis Le Burgeois. You can look at him and tell that be was in my class, all right.” Shaffer In New Orleans. The arrival of Frank H. Hitchcock, •who was granted an immediate confer ence, and the present here of J. C. Shaffer, owner of the Chicago Evening Post, on whose judgment Taft said he should place weight regarding cabinet aspirants from the vicinity of Chicago, made it apparent that cabinet activities have begun. Several socialist banners which were displayed in front of a lodging bouse in the line of the Taft parade were ordered down by the local authorities just before the arrival of the president elect. The demand was made on the ground that the inscriptions. “Why Should One Man Hold Another Man’s Job?" and “To Abolish Poverty, Vote the Socialist Ticket,” flaunted in the face of Judge Taft would not conform with the hospitable and non-partisan spirit in which it was decreed the whole city should receive him. The banners were taken down. Taft Dances With Queen. President Elect and Mrs. Taft broke through many qld traditions associated with the masked balls of the carni val season when they were the guests of the Merry Monarchs of the Elves of Oberon at the old French Opera House. No sooner had the rule of the king and queen been established, than they made their way, surrounded by courtiers, to the box occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Taft and escorted the distinguish ed visitors to the stage, where they were hsked to share the throne. Later Judge Taft danced with tha queen and Mrs. Taft was the partner of the king in the same waltz.

Humor and Philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

’ PERT PARAGRAPHS. It is hard to make some people understand that your time is not all their own and still keep any semblance of politeness.

Sometimes wisdom comes with years and sometimes with tears.

They are really and truly our friends who will smile an 4 look interested the tenth time we tell our stock of anecdotes to them. A woman does hate to pay for fancy groceries when she has her eye on a swell bit of millinery down street. The greatest compliment that you can pay your friends is to assume that they need no defense.

Something of a Snap. Now come to think the matter o’er. It really was too bad, For Grandpa Adam didn’t know How large a snap he had. He never did in all his years Know just what he was worth In real estate and other things, ®l|fpr Adam owned the earth. No rival offered to dispute Possession of the ball Or made a threat to jump his claim— His title covered all— For every ample continent And Island of the sea, With lakes and rivers in between, Was his in simple fee. No tax collector came around To say to him: “I fear That you are getting off too cheap. We’ll raise the rate next year.” And no surveyor kicked about The fences on his line And said he'd have to move them tn Or there would be a fine. The gentlemen who toil and strive To own the earth today. Although they partially succeed. Don’t have things all their way. How they would toss their cape in air. Turn handsprings and be glad If they could just be guaranteed The snap that Adam had I

Poor Woman. “How is your wife?” “On the mend.” “Why, I heard she was worse.” “So she is, but she said the stockings just had to be darned, anyway, If she died for It.” Too True. “There are lots of women lecturers.” “Now, I wonder why you said it that way.” “How else?” “There are lots of women." The Modern Way. “I suppose they killed the fatted calf on his return?” “No; they just opened a new can of breakfast food.” Casting Shadows. The weather’s acting very queer/ Some days are dark and some are fair; Sometimes the atmosphere is clear; Sometimes the fog fills up the air. Today’s a smile, the next’s a frown. It’s hard to tell what to expect. The mercury- plays up and down Until its tube is almost wrecked. Perhaps the woodchuck might explain And tell us why the weather changes. No doubt his dreams are full of pain As in and out his fancy ranges. And, soundly sleeping, “Shade or shine, Wnich shall It be?” his visions vary. “Which, shade or shine? What portion's mine. Oh, fateful day of February?"

That Perplexed Look.

The perplexed look so often seen upon the faces of women is undoubtedly due to their struggles to keep up their dignity and to cinch a bargain at the same time.

The brand of courage that a man gets out of a bottle is too apt to ooze from bls finger tips in a time of need. If our mental capacity grew in proportion to our own estimate of it, geniuses would be so thick that we should step on them when we stroll abroad in the evening. /
