But to-day all is changed. Another
Presidents daughter is married. Kings
and potentates, senates and ruling as
semblages of all lands hastened to do
the bride honor and thereby to honor
uer father and the great world power
over which he has been elected the
Chief Magistrate.
A most notable company was pres

resented in person. High officials
were there; gold lace tricked out
hundreds there. No American assem-
Dlage gathered together ever had the
eclat of this.
But for all that, there was the pure

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a frisky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down In Texas a weed called
Loco" is sometimes eaten by a
steer and produces arrangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many Of these
editors are "Locoed" from hate OF
anyone who will not instantly obey
the demands" of a labor union,
and it is the universal habit of such
writers to go straightin a system
of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
to get judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for a
chance to attach money due them
from others? (For they are usual
ly irresponsible.)
Keep your eye out for the "Lo-
coed" editor.

and Measures.

Butter-A cupful of butter is seven

solid. A cupful of melted butter is
one-half ounce lighter. 1t is usually
near enough for cooking to call cup

egg is one and one-half ounces.
Sugar-A level cupful of graduated
sugar Is seven ounces-two cupfuls is
two ounces less than a pound. AL
though sugar by the grain is heavier
than water and will sink instantly,
the air spaces between the grains
make cupful weigh less than SO
much liquid. One-half pound of gran
ulated sugar is cup rounded up.
The powdered sugar that is known as
fine granulated weighs the same, icing

cupful is but six ounces. All that

barrel of any grade weighs nine
ounces. A level cupful of brown
sugar is six ounces. Up in the noun.
tains cake recipes which people have
been used fail. 1t is all because Of
the sugar. So much sugar cannot be
used at great elevations as at sea
level, hence the reason for being par
ticular about weights.

lasses weighs IL )unces-that is
three-quarters Of pound-half as

his intention. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for him to decline this great
honor, in view of his lifelong ambi-
tions and in view of the traditions
and history of his family. 1t is
natural for the Taft family to become
engaged in the legal profession. 1t
comes to them by right of inheritance.
Secretary Taft's father was a noted
lawyer, and he was attorney general
as well as secretary of war, the posi-
tion now held by his son. Like his
son, he always cherished an ambi-
ton to become member of the SUI
preme court, but the opportunity
never came. The oldest brother of
the secretary. Henry w. Taft, is an
eminent jurist in New York Mrs.
Taft is the daughter of Judge Her.
ron. of Cincinnati. one of the promi-
nent jurists of Ohio, who has sat on
all the courts of that state. The
whole environment of Secretary Taft
has been that of the law. He was
born to it. married into it, and his
children have elected to go into it
after him. The secretary's eldest son
declared, at the mature age of five.
that he intended to be a lawyer, and
now at the age of II he is preparing.
under his uncle. to enter Yale. his
fathers alma mater. The second son
also has declared in favor of the law.
For awhile it looked as though Sec
retary Taft might yield to the allure
ments of a presidential boom, and
many of his friends advised him to
consider the possibility of his nomina-
ton in 1908 very carefully before CIV
ing an answer to the offer of the seat
upon the supreme bench. He did con-
slider the proposition long enough to
say that IL the certainty of election
to the presidency-were held out in
one hand and seat upon the supreme
bench in the other he would choose
