hardly be imagined. It is a post that
requires frmness, lest in the early
stages an outbreak should work dam
age to American interests and result
in loss Of life.
To come out of all this complication
for abundant patience and good nature,
as we'll as most inspired diplomacy.
Indeed, it is a sure indication of the
true presidential caliber of the man.
It has been said of Taft that he can
do more with smile than any man in
public life.
Here is another parallel to Roose-
welt.
When the rough rider chieftain re-
turned from Cuba, every paper and
magazine in the country delighted to
print pictures of the grinning face that
showed a set of good, strong molars,
parted with jollity. This smiling
Roosevelt face undoubtedly contribu-
ted much to the popularity Of the pres
ident, and so it ought to help the case
of Taft
Taft never had the power to master
subjects without working. He has lit
tie of that superficial brilliancy that
brings many public men to the fore in
a day, only to drop them back just as
suddenly. He is intellectually strong
man, but his greatest gift is his powe:
Of sustained work.
In Cuba he delved into every phase
of the situation and investigated every
part of the island, met all Of the men
who are factors, big and little, in the
present con61tion, traced every cause
of quarrel, and addressed himself thor.
oughly to the task of correcting evils,
getting the malcontents propitiated,
and employing all his moderation, his
sanity and his energy toward the res
toration of order.
Harvard has the honor of giving the
country the present chief magistrate.
II his successor is a Yale man, it will
be in great part because Taft has
known how to deal with the Cuban sit.
uation.
In dealing with the lighter affairs OF
life, Taft has been as equally success
full as in shaping the destineies of ma.
tiOns.
His famous trip to the Philippines
something over year ago will not
soon be forgotten by any member OF
his large party. The secretary was
the life and fun of the crowd, full OF
jokes and merriment from morn until
night.
The close friendship and good fel.
lowship Mr.. Taft cemented among the
members of his group on this journey
is more than indicated by the number
of weddings, that of the president 5
daughter being on the lead, which re:
suited from the jaunt.
Indeed they have been SO numerous
that the secretary, because Of his ap.
parent, friend,iness with loves little
messenger, gained the nickname OF
"Cupid Taft" which, not altogether to
his liking, has since stuck to him.

Then the farmer takes an ear of corn
and picks three kernels off one side
and three off the other and lays the
six kernels upon one of the squares
upon the cloth. He carefully tags
the ear of corn with the number of
that particular square and lays it
away. He goes on in this way until
he has six grains of corn upon each
numbered square. Then he puts an

upon them grains of corn that will

and bad ears in the following man
ner:
HE makes a wooden box about. two

deep. He fills it half full of moist
sand, earth or sawdust. He cuts a
piece of muslin exactly the size to fit

been estimated that a. vigorous plant
