Taft and the Reportars.

Twice a day, usually at noon and
again at 4 p. M, Secretary Taft directs
that the big, thick door Of his office at
the war department be opened wide. 1t
is the signal that he is ready for quiz
ling by all the newspaper correspond
ents who have gathered. He pushes
aside the papers on his desk, tits back
in his broad swivel chair and faces the
ordeal as though he enjoyed it. He is
the freest and best natured talker on
such occasions Of any member Of the
cabinet. He tells many things thai he
doesn't want published, but neverthe-
less there are some things that he does
not talk about at all.
One is politics. After he had been
questioned the other day from every
possible angle regarding his candidacy
and had parted every question he
added:
I'D rather talk about the Philip
pines, gentlemen. That has been a
very convenient topic Of conversation
recently. a discuss that when l do
not feel at liberty to talk about poll
tics. "-Boston Herald.

FOR THE
To Clean Gloves.

White gloves may be cleaned in the
following way: Lay them on a clean
table and rub into them a mixture Of
finely powdered fuller's earth and alum
in equal quantities. Work this we'll in
and then brush 1t off. Afterward
sprinkle the gloves with dry bran and
whiting, then shake and dust them.
Another practical way to clean gloves
is with benzine or benzine soap. The
combination of these two is death to
dirt. A small sum will purchase a
wooden hand, over which the glove is
slipped ready for s%crubbing. A scour-
ing brush, much like a nailbrush in
form and sitter as to bristles, is dip
ped into the cleansing mixture, and the
glove is thoroughly scrubbed. 1t is
hung to dry. and the glove %stretchers
bring it into shape when the cleaning
is done.

it is like putty, then press firmly into

thin knife. Sandpaper over the sur.
