Kansas City, NO., Feb. 11.-William
H. Taft, secretary of war, was guest
of honor and chief spokesman at din
ner given in Convention hall to 1000
persons by the Association Of Young
Republicans of Missouri. Many of the
guests came from Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma and distant Missouri cities.
A great demonstration greeted Secre-
tary Taft when he entered the great
hall and again when he rose to speak.
Besides the 1000 diners the balconies
of the hall We're filed by several thou
sand spectators.
Secretary Taft's speech was a gem
eral defense of the Republican party
and especially of the policies brought
to the fore by the administration Of
President Roosevelt. Speaking Of the
recent panic and the presidents special
message to congress, the secretary
said:
THE message contains an answer to
the charges made that the administra-
ton is responsible for the industrial
depression, and the sharpness and en-
phasis with which this unfounded at
tack is met have heartened the great
body of the people as a bugle call to
renewed support Of the policies Of the

TEDDY BEARS"

Witty Irishman's Name For Locomo-

Most Of the railroads entering Pitts

A Teddy bear" is a locomotive for

been boxed for the winter because
there is no more room for locomotives
In the roundhouses, says Pittsburg

Times. One division of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad has forty-six more idle
engines than it had stable room for,
and they have been run on obscure
sidings and boarded up for the winter.

is also that Of the Baltimore and Ohio.
Some Of the railroad men believe that
President Roosevelt has caused the
present financial stringency, but 1t was
an Irish carpenter who sprung the
joke of the season.
A friend passing asked what those
great barnlike structures on the switch
were.
"Thim's our Tiddy BEARS" said the
Irishman.

HORSE FEEDING CLOCK.
Coal Dealer Fond Of Late Sleep utilixss
Alarm Device,

Coal Dealer Fond OF Late Sleep Utilixes
Alarm Device.
Feed wires of new design have
been created and put in use by George
Miller, a coal dealer in Alton. ILL.,, says
a dispatch to the New York Press. MIL
ler's love of a late "snooze" is the
parent Of this invention. by which an
alarm clock feeds Miller's twenty-six
horses in the barn near the house with
out disturbing their owners slumbers.
Connected with the winder Of the
alarm is wire running over a pulley
and to a trigger which controls traps
on the bottoms of the feed boxes. The
clock is then set for o'clock or any
other hour that Millers requirements
Of sleep dictate.
When the bell begins to ring the
wlnder turns and pulls back trigger
that springs the traps on the feed
boxes. Instantly the corn placed in
the boxes the previous night showers
into the hangers.
The horses are happy, and so is Nil
Ter. The contrivance destroys the po-
etry associated with feeding cattle in
the crisp, frosty mornings of winter,
but Miller is coal dealer, not a poet.
Mr.. Miller believes that his device
could be adapted to watering stock.

of the jubjub birds these guardians of

es and traded stranger stories. The
soup arrived in tureen that looked
like a gigantic pail and was ladled
into plates resembling feeding dishes,
says the New York Herald.
Baked halibut came in the coils of a
boa constructor or what looked very
much like it. The roast beef was
brought on as rhinoceros steak, and
Roast lamb was covered over with a
great papier mache head Of Nubian
lion. The ices were accompanied by
favors in the shape of all the animals
known to man. The tiger keeper got a
goat and the shepherd brace of
bears. The overseer of the parrots
was made happy by miniature pho
nograph with feathers on it, and the
elephant mahout received mouse.
Butter was served in goat shaped
dishes, and a whole menagirie was eat
en- by those who were fond of sweets.
An army conscripted from a dozen
Noah's arks marched about the table
cloth, and the feast ended up with the
destruction of ice cream polar bears,
who were ruthlessly carved to bits
with teaspoons. Coffee was served in
medicine glasses, and the cigars had
decidedly Serpentine twist.
