stores. The Washington store-keep-

months Washington women will order
enough gowns to last two years. 1t is
always SO in the winter preceding the
Inauguration of new president.
That Mrs. Taft is SO friendly to
Washington means many thousands Of
dollars to them. Not many years has
a president been elected who practi-
cally considered Washington his home.
In the matter of clothes Mrs. Taft
is woman of the plain type. While
well and usually handsomely gowned
her clothes are never the first thing
which attracts the attention of the
stranger Her taste runs to the plain
cloth and rich silks. She is en-

have earned their displeasure. No
group of capitalists, it is believed,
would dare align themselves with
Morse and expose themselves to the
dangers such an alliance would cre-
ate.
The man who has been doomed to
spend the next Is years of his life
in prison-with three years and nine
months off for good behavior-is in
some respects one of the strangest
characters who ever broke into the
downtown district of millions.
Personally he is an attractive man,
with kindly, manly qualities, that have
won him firm friends. His business
methods have been called those of
the guerrilla, the bandit, the buccaneer
-tigerish and cold-blooded. The
courts have just stamped them dis.
honorable and criminal.
Morse has been a natural money
maker all of his life. He comes of
hard-headed New England stock,
which for generations have piled up
money. He was born in Bath, Me-, 81
years ago. In the summer of 1907,
just before the autumn panic began
to convert millionaires into paupers
he was worth $22 2,0O0,0 900. To-day he is
probably worth between $3,000,000 and
S5,000,00O, and were he free to cut
loose in the stock market he would
probably add millions to his store in

ing, filmy Philippine fabrics, which she
brought back to the states with her
after her long residence in Manila.
And yet she brought only what she
might have actual need of in the near
fture. According to her thrifty nature,
she purchases only what she can see
a use for. Mrs. Taft has never been
wealthy. Her money is always spent
judiciously.
Mrs. Taft patronizes always the con-
servative establishments. Good val,
ue for the money is what she looks
for first in shopping. She rarely goes
into the cheap stores, except for unin1.
portant articles, which careful women
know how to buy. During her resi-
dence in Washington she has done her
purchasing mainly in the shops along
F street.
Mrs. Taft and her daughter are both
careful buyers. In doing Christmas
shopping, they rarely are guilty OF pur.
chasing useless trifles. They go about
months before the holiday week. and
by the time other Christmas shoppers
are beginning to think Of buying, their
gifts are bought and carefully put
away. carefully labeled. awaiting the

Taft Is much like Mrs. Roosevelt, only
that Mrs. Roosevelt does much of her

WASHINGTON is now unquestion-
W ably the most governed city on
earth. 1t stands without rival in
the matter of statutes and regula-
tions. Congress enacts the laws and
a triumvirate Of commissioners pre-
scribe the rules under which people
may live and move and have a being.
Each and every walk of life is plas-
tered with regulations. These range
all the way from supervision of wash

THE government printing office was
/ an important factor in the recent
presidential campaign. This institu-
ton turned out for the Republican and
Democratic parties 7,41S,700 copies of
speeches delivered in congress, sur
passing all previous records by 3,000,-
900 copies.
The total weight of campaign
speeches printed since the beginning
of the Sixtieth congress exceeds 4O0,-
900 pounds, or about ii car loads.
The printed sheets would completely
cover As square acres of ground, and
if each page could be laid end to end
a bicycle track 947 miles long could
be obtained.
The number of words contained in
this years run of speeches have been
roughly estimated at 230,000,000,O00
With the newspaper calculation of four
readers to each copy, this would re-
quire the assimilation of nearly l,000,-

The printing of speeches in the gov

of the senate and house of representa-

tentative budget practically having
been agreed upon at a recent meet

figure for the current year was
$143,000,00o.
Out of the total for next year the

Bird S. Color, president of the Dor.
ough of Brooklyn, was the luckiest of
the executives who asked for money.
He received an increase of $309,O73
over his budget Of this year, which
was $2,019,952. Mr. Cromwell of Rich
mond gets an increase of $4,000, but
in spite of bitter protests Mr. Ahearn
of Manhattan gets $4,000 less, and
Mr.. Haffen of the Bronx $22,437 less
than they had at their disposal for this
year.
Henry Bruere, head OF the bureau
of municipal research, showed much
activity against Mr.. Ahearn and Mr..

budget he was consulted by Mayor Nc

here, chose the latter. For three hours
he sang all the hymns announced by
the lunatic leader, and prayed loud
and long whenever called on to do so.
When the minister was found by a
member of his church and rescued
from the mailman, he was exhausted
and a physician had to be summoned.
DR.. Francomb had been holding re-
vival services at the First Method
ist church, and among those who have
shown deep interest in the meetings
was young man whose name Dr.
Francomb says he never learned. The
man became more and more enthused,
and finally became so earnest that he
went to the church between meetings
and held service all by himself. Re-
Gently he found DR.. Francomb in the
church when he went there and he re-

Nothing was thought of the incident
until, when Dr. Francomb was in the
church himself arranging the music
for meeting, the young man entered,
turned the key in the lock and put the
key in his pocket. Advancing up the
aisle he saluted the minister and then
suggested that they hold a prayer
meeting for their mutual good. Dr..

leave the church, but found that the
church was locked. When he re-
