Mr.. Taft, ever since he was first

DENVER. COL. july 4-The most
wonderful spectacle which, the hotels
Of Denver have had to offer SO far to
the advance guard OF delegates and
convention visitors Is the Hon. Jim
Ham Lewis. of Chicago, who has
whskers which have decorated other
conventions in the past, and which.
his friends say, grow more beautiful
with advancing years.
+ Mr.. Lewis arrived in town last even
ing wearing a suit of vivid gray, with
pearl gray spats over black shoes and
with n wnistcoat to match the spats.
Noticing the becoming styles OF hats
they were wearing here, Mr. Lewis
hurried up to his room and sent out
ia bell-boy for a whole yard Of blue
material. which he tastefully wrapped
around his Panama and pinned with
common, ordinary pins.
With this hat surmounting the red
whiskers, Mr. Lewis Immediately drew
the biggest kind of crowd when he
appeared in the hotel corridors later
in the evening. AS he stood there in
a circle OF admiring cowboys. plains,
mon and politicians. who watched him
stroke and curl those whlskers, along
came Representative Henry p. Clay

the journey in his weakened state. and
he has reluctantly agreed to stay at

Mr.. Sherman is still living on milk

him to recover his normal strength.
The doctors believe that by giving his
digestive system a complete rest he
will be benefited in the end.
