mr.. Taft,s Fish Story.

Justice Harlan told story to Judge
Taft of how he went out to play golf
In a fog. He thought he would drive
the ball and sent it off at a hazard"
He came to the caddie and asked him
to find the ball, looking within a ra-
\dius of 800 yards. The caddie's eyes
1ck out.
done found dat ball, judge. 1t
in de hole, sure 'nough. 1t jest
@iggled in like"
It was certainly remarkable that a
drive through the fog should place a
ball where the most earnest effort of
two to twenty strokes may fail in
broad daylight.
Judge Taft responded with a fish
Ing story, also about a fog. He went
out one day in a wagon to fish, and
the fog came down thick. He drew
up where he thought the stream
ought to be, cast his line, felt a pull,
and hauled in a fine trout-another
bite, and another, until the wagon
was filled. The fog lifted, and the
wagon was 800 yards from the river!
There was a silence, which might be
felt when Judge Taft concluded, and
Justice Harlan told no more fog sto-
ries.-National Magazine.

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by
following our elders.
In this way i'll health is often fast
ened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
Il had been allowed to drink cof-
fee ever since / can remember, but
even as a child l had a weak stomach
which frequently refused to retain
food.
THE taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as |
found out later, the cause of the
stomach rebelling against food.
Il now see that it was only from
following the example of my elders
that formed and continued the mis-
cradle habit of drinking coffee. My
digestion remained poor, nerves un-
strung, frequent headache, and yet /
did not suspect the true cause.
Another trouble was a bad, mud
dy complexion, for which / spent time
and money for creams, massaging,
ETC., without any results.
After / was married I was asked
to try Postum, and would you believe

RIGHT FLOWER TO WEAR.
Some Old Favorites Discarded-The
Fashionable RuttonhoIe.

Some Old Favorites Discarded-The
Fashionable Buttonhole.
Men are revolving against the puri-
tanical simplicity they have been
compelled to assume. The button
hole is fashionable once more But
the buttonhole of to-day must be
small, and the choice allowed in color
and the variety of flower is limited.
Mauve is the color. There is al
most a craze for mauve. How it be-
gan nobody seems to know. Taste in
these things is like love, no one can
tell how it begins. Just now the
flower love- is infatuated with mauve
Orchid houses have been looted to
supply buttonholes for men. One
might suppose that there are fortunes
waiting for those who could supply
orchids in sufficient quantities
mauve orchids.
Men who have been true to other
loves for years are jilting the rosebud
and her pink and red checked sisters
and are falling under the spell of
mauve. Mauve-one sees it every
where. If we walk down Bond street
on a sunny afternoon W a count
the buttonholes of other colors, the
mauve ones are not to be numbered.
If we look round the stalls at the
theatre we see mauve, mauye, tou-
jours mauve.
Mauve suits any complexion. The
motorist returns to town, wind
whipped. He doffs iAs furs and dons
the black and white of evening. His
face is tingling healthily, but above
the polished plateau of shirt front it
looks too highly colored. A red
flower seems to make his visage posi-
lively fame, but the balm of mauve
soothes the contrast into a beautiful
harmony.
OF course every one does not wear
orchids. Such exotics may well be
reserved for evening dress. For day
wear in a frock or morning" coat
Parma violets (mauve ones, natural-
iy) are the fashionable buttonhole.
The few conservative minded men
who, regardless of their compilations,
still wear red wear the darkest carna-
tions they can obtain. The few who
still think that white flowers are the
only ones a man should wear favor
gardenias. But such men are rare.
Mauve Parma violets and mauve or
chids are the fashionable ~buttonholes
of to-day.
And for ladies'? The leading for
lists detect a tendency in favor of
Malmaisons, lilies of the valley and
orchids.-London Daily Mail.
