Taft was of the original founders and
patronesses of Cincinnati's famous musical or
ganizaton, the Symphony orchestra. Other
avenues through which her artistic tastes are
directed are her love of pictures and her ap-
probation of wood carving. Charles p Tafts
world-renowned art collection has no more ap-
preciative admirer than his sister-in-law the
wife of the president-elect, and there are many
canvases hanging on the walls of this gallery
of her selection.

predecessors, her knowledge of languages and

woman occupying so exalted position as that

unhesitatingly replied: by reading the daily

and each takes the game seriously,
having mastered all of it's many in
tricacies. Mrs Taft and Miss Can
non are frequently seen in public
together. They drive frequently,
this being one of Mrs. Tafts chief
diversions, and then, too, they are
invariably seen together at the many
concerts given in Washington

Courage is singuiarly magnetic vir-

courage those sweet flowers Of true
charity-patience, magnanimity and

promiser. Courage and fidelity in the
supernatural order imply the same
qualities in the natural order. Men
realize this. Tho loyal Catholic who is

Canadians In England.

The best noteless debater In the
British House of Commons is a Cana
dian, Mr.. Bonar Law, who fought the
Government. He will shoot up at the
a single note before him, with only
the faces Of his opponents and the cold,
bare top Of the brass bound box to en-
courage him, he will pick up one by one
all the arguments Of all his opponents
on all the previous days, and will care
fully, infinitely, and crushingly answer
them. But let some unwary Free Trad
err challenge one of Mr.. Bonar Laws
quotations. He has eight or nine pook-
cts. Quick as thought he dives a hand
into pocket. Always the right pocket
He pulls out cutting. Always the
right cutting. He reads out an extract
which makes the interrupter sorry he
spoke.
Another superlative is DR.. Macnama-
ra, also Canadian. He is the breeziest
speaker in the House Of Commons. II
was great pity they put him on the
Government bench, where responsible
ity and office sometimes stifle the best
things men can do in the way of de-
bate. Yet he deserved the honor more
than most.

Gentle Speech.

Gentle speech is the speech Of a
gentleman or lady. Many years ago
we were out West and stopped at what
was claimed to be the finest hotel west
of Chicago, writes Father Phelan in
the Western Waterman. We were
particularly impressed with the hand
some figure and ,courtly bearing Of
the manager. Tho first evening we
spent in the house we were shocked
at a sudden outburst of fury on the
part of our Chesterfield, and the lam
guage we heard was calculated to emp
ty the hostelry of every decent man
and woman in 1t. The moment his
wrath was reused the gentleman van
ished, and in his place stood the foul
tongued cowboy. They say you have
only to scratch the most cultured Rus
sian and you find the Tartar. No
gentleman or lady can be gentleman
or lady all the time. There are mo-
ments when the most polished Of us
unbend and give loose rein to our I'M
comfortable Indignation. But the witt
nesses are confined to a very narrow
circle Of intimate acquaintance, or to
the walls Of our room. A gentleman
or lady is habitually guarded in Ian
guage and careful of the limitations
prescribed good breeding. 1t takes
great deal more to make q gentleman
or lady in Europe fling the proprieties
to the winds than it does to produce the
same eff act upon people in this country.
The reason is that they have had man.
ne~s longer than we, and their man.
ners have become second nature with
them. Our manners are a thing of
yesterday; they have had manners q
thousand years.

everybody knows that the charges he
made were false, and people do not
care for things of that kind So that,
month after month, week after week,
our newspapers contain sensational at
tacks upon our faith, and 1t is only
seldom that they contain an answer
to these charges or give the others
less sensational side of the case."

BY Hugh Allen,

DETROIT. Mich, Sept. L.
When a poor devil comes to you
maybe it's winter time. and you
know he's deserving, has a wife
and kids, and all that, and the
rents DUE. and he can't stand off
the landlord any longer--when a
poor devil like this comes to you
and asks for work
Just for job-any kind of a
job, but something, for Gods
sake, to get food and warm cloth
ing-what, are you going to tell
him?
Suppose you have a political
job, what are you going to tell
him?"
1t was Alderman David Heine-
mann of Detroit who asked the
question--then answered it.
Its hard to resist the tempta-
ton to skirmish around and try
to make a place for him around
the city hall or in the county
building or somewhere. Maybe,
it's Just common humanity, may
be it's making yourself solid, but
anyway that's the first impulse
to make a place for this man at
the expense of the public.
But 1t isn't right. President
Taft never doomed bigger than
when a man asked him what such
a man should do, and he an
swered, God knows
Then Heinemann went on to
tell what Detroit's mayor. Philip
Breitmeyer, and Detroit's council
did last winter-and Is doing to-
day. There's a lesson in it.
| Seems there's a bunch of paw
ing and bridge work in Detroit
that ought to be done-one OF
those jobs that everyone agrees
should be done, but everybody
let's run along till some tomor-
row when they're good and ready
The thing had been recommended
several times, but the finance
committee or the board of esti-
mates had always killed the meas
ure-on the ground that the city
couldn't afford it at just that
time.
So Breitmeyer and his council
took matters in their own hands
They ordered the work to be
started-at once. And the men
who got the work were these
same out-of-work men who had
been beseeching Detroit politi-
clans and business men for work
The work was done; was done
we'll, and many poor devil" was

"Some of you are here who
went to church this morning and

ton.
"But whether we believe in
Sunday base ball or not, let us
show a disposition to live and let
live. We are free moral agents
to make our own shalls and nots.
Faith is great, hope is greater;
but the greatest of all is charity.
Success to the home team, and
may they never be guilty of the
sin of losing a Sun

Few people realize the every
day use of the wireless telegraph.
Everyone knows how it saves lives
in shipwrecks, and in general en-
ables ships to keep in touch with
land and with each other, but how
many would imagine a message
like the following coming into
New York from a steamer seveSal
hundred miles at sea:
"Will be home tomorrow. Or
der meat, vegetables and all nee
essary for dinner. Have gas turn
ed on and rooms thoroughly
aired"
This aerogram was from a
woman to her housekeeper. When
the family got to their house, they
would find things moving along
as smoothly as when they left on
their trip to Europe-dinner
ready and beds made.
Really Quite a House.
Edwin Gould is going to have
new HOUSE Ut II HUI dNSnuC anu
18th street. 1t will cost $175,-
900. 1t is to be four stories and
basement, with an attic. 1t will
front 30 feet on the avenue and
120 feet on the street.
The house will be of Florentine
renaissance design, finished in
limestone, with a balustrade at
the second story and another at
the roof. Below the upper balus-
trade, the cornice will be set with
richly carved panels.
The house will have a large
central foyer below stairs, with
a salon and dining room opening
off it. On the second floor will
be the library and music room,
connected by a large gallery. The
third floor will have the billiard
room, gymnasium and guest cham
bers.

KNIGHTS BEAT
ELKS IN RED
HOT CON TEST

The knights of Columbus de-
feated the Elks in ball game at
Athletic park yesterday afternoon.
The contest was close all the way.
The Elks started in in the ninth
to win but slipped up on the
scheme by one run. The score
stood s to 8 and the knights
thought they had 1t sure. Camp
bell swatted one for three sacks
the first thing up in the ninth and
Swindells followed with a single
that wiped out one of the lead.
Ed Hall followed with another
SINCE and Swindells capered to
third.
1t looked easy for the Elks then
but the knights then settled down
and cut them off at the plate as
they came in, winning the battle
to 4.

HOW DETROIT DEALT WITH
PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPL DYED

,puzzling thing at first. There was
a good chance that the same con-
servatiye elements would spike
the guns.
But Mayor Breitmeyer, who is a
big-hearted German solved 1t.
Go ahead with it," he said.
Never mind the law. I'll take
chances on that. I'll advance the
money out of my own pocket"
And this Mayor Breitmeyer did.
1t went into five figures before
the red tape was unwound, and he
was paid back by the city, but the
great thing was that it was done
and in time.
But Detroit didn't stop with
that.
Someone wondered why the
state board of employment hadn't
been doing something to relieve
the trouble. A quiet Investigation
was started.
Someone found the Detroit
branch Of the employment office
after considerable search. II
was way back on a secluded out
of-the-way street, cobwebby and
dirty and obscure. The great state
of Michigan was willing to pay
good money to keep up the office,
and to have paid deputies over
the state to look after the branch
offices, but
Like other states, ii wasn't
willing to spend a little more
money and put the office where it
could do any good.
Like many state employment
offices over the country, it was
unknown, and inaccessible to the
very men who needed it so badly.
So Breitmayer and Heinemann
got busy, and got an office room
| for the state employment office
right down in the city hall. The
Detroit city hall is right off the
Campus Martius. where nearly ev-
erybody who goes downtown has
to pass it.
4
They fixed up an office there
in the city hall-with great big
signs, the biggest ones in the great
municipal building.
Men Wanted" and positions
Wanted"-no one can go into the
city building and miss those signs
The councils and mayors ac-
ton encouraged the state Officers
to activity, and for the first time
in the history of state employ
ment bureaus in Michigan a dep
uty employment officer earned his
salary.
7 Business men and contractors
and all big employers of men
have been brought into touch
with the state bureau now. Men
who are out of work know where
Ito apply now.
