Florence BOuins, speaking the other
day Of Secretary Taft. said to me: Sec.
rotary Taft Is a striking example OF
the theory that we get out of life what
we put into II. He thoroughly enjoys
living, and to him the world is play
ground at the same time that 1t Is a
workshop. Everything seems easy to
him. He Is natural born judge, and
time and again settles questions with a
few words and laugh that have
wound other wise heads into a hopeless
snarl.
1T Is amusing to see the Secretary
among the Orientals-especially the
japanese. His immense size amuses
them intently. for he is just a shade
under six feet and weighs more than
three hundred pounds. He Is big load
Tor little jinricksha, and 1t takes four
Japs to push him up hill. They have
great fun. though, with their distin.
guished passenger. and whenever they
are going up particularly steep in
cline the natives run out from their
little houses along the road and help
push for a few rods and then fall back
| laughing, when another relay appears
little further on.
One Of the most interesting pictures
in which the Secretary ever figured
was when he first met the Sultan of
Sulu. MIR. Taft was dressed in white
duck and a Manila straw hat, and
looked like a small white mountain.
The Sultan was dressed in broadcloth
suit of European make, while his coat
ana cap were embroidered with 81 500
worth of gold thread. The Sultans
complexion Is brown and his teeth are
jet black. Secretary Taft has a com.
| pleXlon that would make an American
Beauty Jealous, and his teeth are a row
of pearls! The Sultan came just lit
! tie above Judge Taft's elbow. They
seemed to have only one thing in com.
mon: one was just as smiling and pc.
, lite as the other!
The oyations that Mr. Taft always
/ receives whenever he travels to the
Orient are enough to wear out the av-
erage man. But his physical endur.
anCe Is phenomenal, and he always en-
| joys the gorgeous Oriental honors, al
though they are an old story to him.
| His appearance in Manila Is a signal
for a round of social gaiety, for he Is
almost deified by the natives. Secre-
tary Taft was a most gracious host
when the rambling old palace was
home, and speaking of high places
he is often joked about his strong re-
semblanCe to Grover Cleveland. Who
Knows but that his immense figure will

The Art Loan Exhibition has Ger
tainly been the feature of the week
notwithstanding the Planters Assoeia
ton and the Medicos. Those who have
missed seeing this wonderful exhibition
of cGrios are certainly the losers, and
show how little they appreciate the
beautiful and unique. 1t is a rare and
unusual opportunity to see objects dart
which are always hidden in dark cor.
ners. The vaudeville performance on
the first floor, which was gotten up by
Mrs. Chas. Cooper, was in itself worth
the price of admission. II is unusually
good and those who have witnessed II
are loud in their praises. Mrs. Cooper
has succeeded in most gratifying
manner and too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon her. Looking like q
