goes out with her mistress in the mo-
tor car, and pays visits, clad in a be-
coming frock of lavender and a gor-j
geous red bodice and coat.

He Don't Agree With FouIke
Regarding Conditions
In This State.
HE SALVES UP PRESIDENT
AND THEN TAFT READ TO HIM
THE SPICY CORRESPONDENCE
BETWEEN HIM AND Ex-CIVlL
SERVICE CHIEF.

Washington, Nov. 25.-There is one
Indiana man who can tell, if he will,
what William Dudley Foulke recently
wrote to President Taft and what the
President wrote in reply. That man
is former Governor Durbin. Col. Dur
bin has listened to every word of the
spicy correspondence and it was read
to him by no less distinguished per-
son than the President himself
When Col Durbin went to the White
House the other day to pat the Presi-
dent on the back, figuratively speak
ing. praise his Winona speech and tell
him that the substantial, thinking
people of Indiana are for him, the
President could not forego reading to
him the letter of Mr.. Foulke in which
the Richmond publicist broke the
news to him that he has precious few
friends in Indiana.
Smiles Over Own Answer.
The story told him by Durbin was
so different from the plain and unvar-
nished epistle from Foulke, that the
President smiled as he pushed a
button and directed an attendant to
bring in the Foulke-Taft correspond
ence. 1t seemed to Col. Durbin that
there was gleam of exultation in his
eye when he was reading the plain and
answer which he sent to
Mr.. Foulke's plain and unvarnished
communication
The White House adhered to it's de-
termination not to give out the CORES
pondence for publication, so it is alto
gether likely that the honor of being
the only man to know the exact Ian
guage of this verbal set-to will be en-
joyed by Col. Durbin.

The Coliseum opened last night and

the crowd at the opening was not large

it was a very enthusiastic and fair

There were more than the usual

large number of beginners, and the
slippery condition of the skating sur

is in excellent condition.
There was only one disappointing
feature to the opening and that was
the music. II it Is the intention of the

much on ones nerves. it is doubtful II
