ALL JUMPED AT IT.
Pages Played a Joke, on Members of
Congress.

Speaker Cannon found roll OF
bills ON the floor Of the house but as
they were not the kind which either
banks or congress will pass, he decld-
ed not to keep them. Page boys on
the republican side Of the chamber
planned a joke on some Of the good
natured members, and unsuspectingly
and much to the temporary discomft-
ure Of the lads, "Unele Joe'' fell in
to their trap. The boys got a bundle
Of "Cassie Chadwick" money, the
kind with yellow backs, which looks
quite like real stuff at first glance, and
while the house was wearily grinding
out claim measures. sought to enllven
matters by placing a roll Of this bo-
gus currency upon the floor near the
republican cloak room.
Representative Mudd, Of Maryland,
came by, and it caused him to stumble.
He picked it up, muttered something
under his breath, dropped it. Next
came along Representative Butler, OF
Pennsylvania. He took it as good
joke, and laughed as he replaced the
roll upon the floor for some other
member to find. Representative
Flack, of New York, whose seat is
near the cloak room door, nearly fell
from his chair in an effort to get the
roll. He laughed too. Meanwhile the
pages were upon the point Of explod-
ING with mirth.
A moment later "Uncle Joe,' an
uniighted cigar at an angle of 45 de-
orees in his mouth, sauntered along
His eve caught sight Of the yellow
roll, and he leaped at it like hawk
upon wounded sparrow. A glance
told him what it was. Then he care
fully concealed it in his hands, looked
cautiously up at the galleries and ther
over the floor of the house. No one
apparently was watching him, and he
dropped the roll to the floor and con
tinued his promenade. This time the
boys did not laugh, but they immedi
ately withdrew the money from circu
lation. "Uncle Joe" appreciated the
Joke and was too good natured tt
chastise the boys.

Our New Fellow Citizens.

The story Of the making Of Our ma
ton is always Of interest, and one
cannot but feel that a world Of TO
nance lies bound up in the gathering
together here Of the races OF the
world. Mr.. Alexander Hume Ford
tells in the March number Of The
New Idea Woman's Magazine Of the
huge masses of humanity pouring con-
stantly into our land. In picturesque
language he describes the newcomers
at Ellis Island, where the Emigration
Bureau is station in New York harbor.
''There is no more picturesque sight
in all America he says, Ethan that
afforded visitors at Ellis Island on a
day when say ten thousand or more
emigrants from every quarter Of the
globe are being landed for inspection
before they can enter the land Of the
free. In strange, foreign garb, they
come ashore-mothers from far-otf
Syria. with brightly robed youngsters
clinging to their gaudy crimson
skirts; demure Dutch maidens, halt
hidden beneath great white-winged
native headdress, so soon to be dis
carded; the Highlander in his kilties,
his wee lassies and laidies strutting
proudly behind in the plaidies OF
their paternal clan; strange looking
Doukhobors in painted sheepskin
garb: Montenegrans resplendent in
the costume and headgear worn
among the hills about their beloved
cetigne; sometimes, too, the Greek

Taft Declares Talk of Him for Pres
ident is Preposterous- Disclaims ,
Responsibility for Foolish
Notions Of Friends.

st. Louis. February 24.-Secretary
Of War William II. Taft, the guest
Of honor at The annual banquet OF the
Western Federation Of Yale clubs, al
Hotel Jefferson. declared in an IN
terview that he was not now and
would not be candidate for presl-
dent.
When reference was made to the
frequent mention of his name as Pres
ident Roosevelt'S $ successor. the sec
retary smiled and said:
/ am not responsible for the fool
ish notions Of my friends. The idea
is preposterous. I am only consider
ing matter .jocularly, in no sense ser
iously."
Secretary Taft does not agree with
the expressed views Of military au-
thorities that the United States is apt
to have war with China. The
Boxer movement may be REPEATER
said he, ''but the Government Of
China has much better control over
the masses than it had a few years
ago. | do not look for serious up
rising in China. The United States
will be prepared to act if the emer-
gency arises -
AS to Administration measures now
before Congress, the Secretary said
he believed the Senate would pass the
Philippine tariff bill and that the
question Of railroad rate legislation
would be settled.
"How is the Panama Canal pro-
gressing?"
"Fine,'' was the enthusiastic an
swer. "Chief Engineer Stevens is
there, and there hasn't been case
of yellow fever at Panama since Nov
ember, nor in Colon since December. -
The head of the war department
had Just finished an hours confer
ence with Brig Gen. J. Franklin Bell,
commander of Fort Leavenworth, who
on April IA, becomes a major general
and chief of staff Of the army.
Secretary Taft admitted Gen Bell
had been summoned from Fort Lea
venworth to meet him in St. Louis,
but said they had conference strictly
on department matters which he was
not at liberty to discuss.
