guests, consisting of cabinet officers,
senators, members of the supreme
court, members of congress. railroad
presidents, diplomats and lesser
lights were entertained tonight by
the Gridiron Club.
For four hours the fun was fast and
furious. It began at the fall of the
gavel when the guests We're seated
at the table, and continued long after
the cigars and coffee.
Taft Gets "His."
Later in the dinner the latest
member of the club carrying a red
hot stove walked in. He was made
up to represent Secretary Taft.
When called to order by the Presi-
dent of the Club, he said the stove
was the Cuban situation, that he was
tired of it and that he intended to
leave it on the White House steps.
1t was suggested to him that unless
all the battleships were out of COM
mission that he would probably find
nobody at home at the house.

from which were selected officers for

culture, Representative McCleary, of
Minneapolis, for tariff expert, and

for statistician.
Farewell to Shaw.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the dinner was the singing by the
clubs choir. The song to Secretary
Shaw was sung to the air of $50 Long

farewell to Shaw, who leaves the cab

The President is Remembered.
The Presidents recent trip to Pan
anna was told about in a parody on
HE Walked Right in, etc." The
chorus ran like this:
HE sailed right in and turned
around, then sailed right home
again.
His trip across the Isthmus strip,
took him only hours ten.
He asked his questions on the fly, and
scarcely stopped to say good bye,
He sailed right in and turned around
then sailed right home again.

Up to that time that was the highest

the portrait and holding it for ransom.
He managed to get into the room
where the big picture was hung, slash

stolen the Gainsborough.
William A. Pinkerton was q friend
of Sheedy. The gambler arranged
with the detective to restore the por

would never be reduced to practice.
Since the Brazilian aeronaut has cap

$4,000 for a successful flight in fly

the aeroplane's feasibility.

Dumont is believed to have solved the
problem of mechanical flight is in real

horsepower motor. When at rest the
structure reposes on two pneumatic
tire wheels. The frame is shaped like

between them stands the operator,

tending out horizontally in front OF
