SECRETARY AND MRS. William H. TAFT zJraals:

nothing against Taft on this score,
however. He has not a fashion plate
face, nor is his form that of an Apollo,
although there is more Of it.
Secretary Taft is big in everything
except his voice. This is so small
that, coming from so large a man, it
suggests the proverbial mountain that
brought forth a mouse However. it
carries far, having been heard all the
way from Porto Rico to the Philip

Rides a $1,000 Horse.

When he became secretary Of war
Mr.. Taft had to have his chairs and
other furniture built to order. He re-
quires horses especially constructed in
the same way. Recently he hunted all
over the country to find suitable
steed and had to pay $1,000 for one
guaranteed to bear up under the strain
Atlas had a hard job, but the Taft
horses could tell him some things that
would make his load seem easier
Secretary Taft does not want to be
president. a feeling that all the other
candidates share with him. His life's
ambition has been to sit on the SUI
preme bench. and both his friends and
enemies agree that he would grace
that tribunal. When he took the gov
ernorship of the Philippines, it was ex-
planned to him that it might prevent
him from realizing his aspiration to go
to the nations highest court, but he
nevertheless chose to follow duty.
Fate sometimes has strange way of
dealing out poetic justice In such
cases. Abraham Lincoln lost the SEN
ate by clinging to his principles. but
won the presidency Is history again
to assume her familiar role of a re,
peater?

Unpretentious and Clean Minded

The chief characteristics of William
Howard Taft are breadth Of view, I'M
failing optimism, judicial balance. cou-
pied with a rare degree of executive
ability, capacity for work and the un-
failing aptitude to meet any situation
and perform any task that comes to
him. Withal he is diplomat poll
tician in the best sense of that abused
term and an unpretentious and clean
minded American gentleman.
Secretary Taft is nearly fifty -onc
years Of age and weighs But why go
into details that might be embar-
RAISING? Indeed. no one knows exact
~ how much he does weigh except
Mr.. Taft himself, and he won't tell
Besides, it is as indicate to talk of
the avoirdupois Of a man who tips the
scale at more than 800 pounds as it is
to inquire into the age of a woman

enough, and we shall have to be con-
tent with that.
The secretary of peace, war and mat
rimony is democratic in manner, a
good story teller, blue eyed, slightly
baldheaded. not afraid of boss, loyal
to his chief and man whose good
nature is like gale.
His only form of exercise is horse
back riding. This also furnishes exer-
else for the horse, leading to magnifi-
cent results in the line of equine mus
cular development. Mr.. Taft gets on
his mount with a stepladder. but once
in the saddle he can be shaken loose

:Secretary of Peace"

Despite the fact that Taft has called
himself the secretary of peace and has
made matches and settled quarrels in
two hemispheres, there was a time
when he led class scrimmages in col
lege and whipped an editor who libeled
his father. His frequent and infec-
tious laugh may be freighted with op-
timism and good nature. but his nose
and chin are those of a warrior.
Physically Mr.. Taft looks like Gro
yer Cleveland, but politically he re-
sembles Theodore Roosevelt. Is his
likeness to these two presidents pro-
phetic? OF course the American peo-
pie do not choose their chief magis-
trates for personal pulchritude. doubt.

A beautiful home wedding, and-one
Of much social interest on account of
the prominence and popularity of the
contracting parties, was that of Miss

lors and dining room were decorated
with southern smilax, palms and
ferns and lighted with scores of white
tapers. The hall was frightened by
its setting of golden blossoms, dwarf
golden sunflowers and golden rod be-
ing used. In the library an arch Of
southern smilax and ivy with banks
of palms and ferns formed the back
ground for the pretty ceremony.
The bridal party entered the library
to Mendelssohn's wedding march,
played by Miss Mary Ashton. The
maid of honor, Miss Carrie Cant. and
Mr.. Willis Ponder, the best man, en-
tered first. The bride and groom en-
tered together The bride was at
tired in a going-away gown of London
smoke blue with hat, gloves and
shoes to match, and carried brides
roses and lilies of the valley. Miss
Carrie Cant wore gown of French
suiting in blue and carried white car

was performed by Rev T. A. Wharton,
Miss Ashton playing in minor tone
Listz' dream of Love during its prog
ress. After congratulations Judge
aud Mrs. Ponder left for an eastern
