Secretary Taft's Double.

A number of lawyers were gathered
in the Prudential building in Newark
the other afternoon discussing the pres
idential candidacy of William H Taft,
When one Of them, a New Brunswick
lawyer, told this story:
did you ever know that Taft has
a double in this state?"
Everybody at once asked who it could
be, and the speaker continued:
1.-The other day. when Secretary Taft
was slated to speak in New York.
Judge Willard P. Voorhees,, of New
Brunswick, was in Manhattan. He no.
ticed that he was attracting consider
able attention on the Pennsylvania
ferryboat, and as he stepped through
the ferry house nearly all the passen-
gers stepped to one side to allow him
to pass. The modest jurist was some
what surprised at this, but thought
that perhaps they were anxious to show
him respect on account of his recent
elevation to the bench. Still he thought
the curiosity and evident show of ad-
miration rather unusual Well, he
stepped out to the curb, took cab, and
Just as the cabby was about to drive
on, the people surged about him and
several men cheered him. Still the
jurist was puzzled until a newsboy
called to one of his friends:
Hey, Chimmie, pipe de guy In de
coop. OATS Taft. Hooray!'
And the cab drove UP the street.

A New Colorado Game Bird.


Two strange birds arrived in Denver
Saturday, having journeyed all the way
from Sweden. Now they are domiciled
in the City park. If the plans Of their
owner, w. F. Kendrick, succeed they
will be the progenitors of new race
of birds in the Colorado mountains.
They are the capercailzie, pronounced
caper-kel-zi, and are the size Of a small
turkey. In habits they are much like
grouse and ptarmigan. They thrive best
at timber line and subsist on pine,
spruce and hemlock boughs and noun
tain berries. Mr.. Kendrick, who Is ire
mendously interested in birds and ami
mails, has had an ambition for some
time to start the breeding of these birds
in Colorado because Of their rarity and
beauty He has already bred and lib
Grated thousands Of pheasants, but the
capercailzie were hard to get. For
months he has had a commission in
Sweden for two perfect birds. AS the
result of this order the two arrived
Saturday. The capercailzie is almost
as large and similar in habits to the
American wild turkey, with the advan-
taee that it can endure much more Sc
we're hardships and cold weather and
will live on food such as is obtainable
from the treetops, If necessary, when
the ground is deeply covered with snow.

JOHNNY HAYES TELLS PROCTOR
AUDIENCES ABOUT THE MARATHON

There was q tingle of blood in the
veins and extra pressure on the ar
teries of every good American at Proc
tors last night when John ]. Hayes,
winner of the great Olympic Marathon
race, who will act as starter and run
in THE EVENING STARS Marathon
tomorrow. appeared upon the stage.
THE most exciting and interesting
scenes Of this greatest of athletic
events are shown by moving pictures.
The pictures include Durando's collapse
In the stadium and the inclination of
the English officials to push him over
the tape, regardless of inability to rise
alone after he had fallen.
Other American athletes, including
Martin Sheridan, are shown in the pic
lures: also the presentation of prizes
to the winners. Hayes has a monologue
in which he tells how he won the Mara
thon, and relates Incidents of the Olym-
pic games. He 10 carried about the
stage In exactly the same way as he
was at the stadium, and the Marathon
trophy Is exhibited. 1t is a unique act,
which appeals strongly to the audience.
From the standpoint of good vaude-
. vile. by far the best thing on the bill
is 1.-THE Order of the Bath" a ~cleverly
constructed farce. which is excellently
played by Laura Burt and Henry Stan
ford, both former members of Sir Hen
ry. Irving's company. 1t is a bit risque,
for the lady Is locked in a bathroom

for a time as If there would be a great

learn Of her predicament. However,
the matter ends with a proposal of
marriage, and then the couple find
that the doors were not locked after
all.
