slipper and stretched back luxuriously
in his morris chair He felt that he
had discovered the only real way to
live and the only little woman in the
world who could make life at all worth

Il was thinking what fun it would

so-called Turkish and Egyptian ciga-

Practically all of the Turkish tobacco
comes from Samsoun, in the district
of TrebiZond.
Large quantities of tie Trebizond
tobacco are sold by the Turkish grow
ers to Egypt, where it is used to
brighten the tobacco obtained from
other parts of Turkey. The Trebizond
tobacco, according to the United States

Taft as Bachelor in the White House

The president has happily solved
the problem of disposing of the long
evenings by taking long autmobile
rides about the city and suburbs. He
usually starts out on these trips about
$3.50 o'clock, returning to the White
House at IL or afuerward. Capt. Arch
ibald Butt, the presidents aide, is al
ways his companion on these jour-
neys and usually the president tele-
phones an invitation to some cabinet
officer, senator or representative, and
stops at the guests house or club to
pick him up. The evening rides often
extend out into the beautiful Rock
Creek park, which stretches for miles
along the little waterway whose name
it bears. At other times Mr.. Taft has
his chauffeur drive about the city or
on the Potomac park driveways,
which skirt the river back of the White
House and the monument grounds.
Arising at about seven o'clock the
president gives nearly an hour to
dumb-bells, pulley weights and other
forms of exercise prescribed for him.
He breakfasts slowly and usually
alone. During his morning meal and
for half an hour or so afterward, the
president reads the newspapers. Be-
tween $50 and 10 he begins his busy
day in the executive Offices. AT 1870
comes luncheon at the White House
always with some invited guest for
company. The afternoon is devoted
to golf. for the president hopes to
play every afternoon that he remains
in Washington. Dinner always finds
guests assembled and usually 1t Is
an informal and delightful meal.

Addison Spriggs and the Foolish Far,
BY S. E. KISER.

1.-THE people of this country" said
Addison Spriggs, ARE going crazy
over baseball. 1t is disgusting. Now
here is your own case, Williams" he
went on, glancing across the table at
the youngest boarder; baseball is OF
a great deal more Importance to you
than your own future. You make
rush for the paper when you get down
stairs the morning, so that you may
ind oLs what the scores are, If you
didn't stay down town to find out the
night before, and you're in the dumps
all day if the club from your home
town got beaten"
Well" replied Ferguson, taking up
the argument for Williams, tits bet
ter to take an interest in baseball
than to keep busy poking into other
peoples business
Who's poking into other peoples
business, Mr. Ferguson" Addison
Spriggs inquired after he had almost
broken one of his teeth on a cherry
stone and kept his temper only by the
exercise of great will power did
anybody file an application TO get your
opinion? Has there been any popular
demand for light on this subject from
you? Since you've felt called upon to
project yourself into the argument
permit me to say that what l said to
Williams a moment ago applies also
to you. One might suppose, judging
from the deep interest you take in
baseball, that you had money invested
in one OF the clubs, and l guess you
have, at that, only you're not drawing
any dividends on it. If you thought
as much about your employers inter.

The Heron.


A heron, bird of long beak and tall
legs, was going along a river. He
saw any quantity of carp and pike
(the heron is a great eater of fish,
and he could easily have caught them;
but he wasn't hungry; this was very
good reason. A few moments later
his appetite came back to him; he re-
turned to the edge of the water to find
something to eat. But the pike and
the carp were no longer there; it was
great loss for him. He saw some
tenches, but this did not please him;
he wanted something more solid.
"Me eat tenches!" he exclaimed.
:'Wcat dc tnoy take me for?"
At last he found some gudgeons.
"Gudgeons! Did anyone ever see
heron eat such small fry? What!
Open my beak for so little"
Hunger overlook him, and in his ex-
IRENE want, not being able to find
anything else, he was glad enough to
run across a snail.
Disdain nothing, and don't be SO
difficult to please. Often, in being
willing to gain too much, we run the
risk of losing everything.

has done for Punch, descriptive of parliamentary
