Charlie Taft Military.

1t is hard for man to appear as a
hero in the eyes of his son, especially
if that son be so young that he treats
everybody with candor. Secretary
Taft has a son, Charlie, 9 years old.
Ever since his father has held his pres
ent position in the cabinet Charlie has
been an enthusiastic warrior.
Charlie and Quentin Roosevelt go to
the same school, and Quentin also has
military aspirations. For the last week
or two snow forts and snow battles
have engrossed their time-so much, in
deed, that Charlie Taft's studies have
suffered. At least, his reports showed
such marked falling off that his
father thought the time ripe for a few
words Of parental reproof. Charlie
listened with respectful though plain
II unconvinced attention, and was
ready with a crushing rejoinder.
Father" he said in panied surprise,
you talk just like the school teacher,
You know that building forts and dig
ging tunnels and things like that are
a part of my education, and don't you
think that if you had spent more time
on such things when you We're little
| boy you might not be having such a
hard time now, especially digging that
big ditch"
