RECEPTION A mile
HIGH" FOR TAFT
Special to Daily Panhandle

Denver, Colo, Aug. 2S.-Cititens
OF the mile high" city, regardless
of political affiliations, are prepared
10 give a rousing exhibition OF Den.
yer hospitality and enthusiasm upon
the arrival secretary Taft, who is
scheduled to speak here tomorrow,
Leading Colorado Republicans will
serve as a reception committee and
the whole town will be the undise
puted property of the adipose secre-
tary OF war during his stay here.
That the visit of the secretary will
do much to fan to flame the grow
ing sentiment in his favor, there Is
little doubt. The Republicans OF
Colorado are for Roosevelt, first,
last and always; despite little differ
ences of opinion that have arisen in
regard to the government of the
forest reserves and grazing lands.
Should the President decline posi-
lively to consider denomination,
Colorado would likely send Tart
delegation to the national conyen-
ton ',
The principal opponents Of Taft
are the labor unions and the bee'
| sugar interests GueAr hhet man are
opposed to him because of his Phil
ippine tariff policy, The secretar,
has fought valiantly for reduction
in the tariff on Philippine sugar
and has not yet given up the battle
While the counties in the beet-grow
ing district are strongly Republican
they would probably be strongly op
posed to the nomination or election

UMBRELLA AND SHOES.
Their importanee In the Eyes Of the
indian Native

India is SO vast that different ETH
1uettes prevail in different districts.
We have no standard etiquette, no
standard dress. We mostly copy E,1-
topean etiquette while with Europeans.
Even Bengalese shakes hands with a
Bengalese, speaks in English for few
minutes and then breaks forth into the
vernacular We shake hands with a
European on parting, but by mistake
again touch the hand to the brow in a
salaam, so we both shake hands,
Ialaam and do the like, and no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem of royal
/ u, the sign of rajah, so natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
"a rajah and not before anybody else,
however great. 1t is not a part of the
dress, but protection from the rain
Or sun, necessary appendage, just
ike the watch and chain. You might
IS well ask a European to take off
his waterproof coat. A cody is not
bound to fold his umbrella when a
brigadier general rides past. But a
mental generally closes down the UNI
brella on seeing his master, whom he
considers his king. But no Indian,
however humble, ought to fold up the
umbrella, even before magistrate, be-
cause he is neither the master of the
humble passerby nor his superior off
Ger, nor is he bound to salaam him.
But if he does, no harm In a word,
natives generally fold the umbrella
before a master or a superior officer
and not any other citizen, however
great, and this is no insult.
While going to see a native chief in
his palace the native visitor or official
takes off his shoes if the reception
room has farash and the rajah is sit
ting on his musnud. But if he is re-
ceived in the drawing room, furnished
after the European style, the shoes
are allowed. In some states no ma
tives can go to rajah without a pu-
gree. In others the pugree is taken
off and tossed at the feet of rajah.
1t is ridiculous in a European (from
the Hindoo point Of view to order a
native to take off his shoes. This is
what we ask our priest to do, so that
we may touch the dust of his feet.
A munshi when mildly rebuked by his
sahib took off his shoes, but recounted
the whole scene to his better half, say
ing, 'Sala hamara gor ka gurds lenay
magtna" C'The brother-in-law wants
the dust of my feet. '')-Indian Military

An Odd Animal Community

Natural enemies of the animal world
are sometimes found living together in
extraordinary communities. ]. G. Mil
lais in volume on animals quotes this
experience Of an observer: con one oc-s
casion when ferreting bolted a fox, a
cat, a stoat and several rabbits and
rats out of the same earth. The fox
bolted first, after. giving the ferret a
nip across the back, from the effects of
which it died an hour later, Next came
the stoat and then the cat, both Of
which I shot. Then followed the rab-
bits and rats promiscuously. It was
large burrow on the bank of a deep,
dry watercourse and often held fox
when ferreted it afterward"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

No man ever landed a particularly
easy position by trying to dodge work.
Almost every man imagines he would
do lot of philanthropic stunts if he
had the money.
Why is it that the people with moth
ing to do but sit around and visit are
such dreadful bores?
Some people imagine that by being
impudent they are showing others they
are "as good as anybody"
When a father and son are in bust
ness the son can usually tell Of lot of
mistakes his father makes.
Almost any married man can make
his friends smile by saying he is per.
fectly free to do as he pleases

itself next to the cough medicine on
the shelf, Death stops sharpening his
scythe to lean back and be merry
