PRETTY GOOD CAPACITY.
What President Taft Managed to Worry
Down al an Ordinary Breakfast.

1t seems that it is time to stop
talking about that Taft luncheon in
Columbia. IF Columbia wants to
charge ten per and you have an in
vitation and want to 60 on those con-
ditions, why, 60 and say nothing
about it. Ifyou don't want to go
or the conditions laid down and
don't 90, then don't say so much
about it. If the contents of
Presidential breakfast which | saw
in some paper is any indication of
what would be necessary for a
Presidential luncheon, then the
Columbia committee, if it wants to
make any money, ought to have
doubled the price. But it didn't
want to make money. Just listen
to this:
One Martini cocktail (ncluding
olive.)
Six cups of coffee.
One grape fruit.
One white fish.
Potatoes.
One grilled chicken.
More potatoes.
Six pieces of corn bread.
-Four eggs.
One bunch of hot house grapes.
California pears,
Elberta peaches.
More coffee
4 bowl of hot milk.
Now don't you think that Il pretty
good breakfast even for President?
AnA what do you think would be
necessary for luncheon: 1t will
cost some money to get up Il lunch
con to keep step with breakfast
like that. Let us all hope that Mr.
Taft will enjoy the Columbia lunch
con and that every one who is there
will have jolly time. .-NemJerry
