Mr.. Smith and the natives were in q

"One of the strongest swimmers In

Possibly DR.. Frederick A. Cook does not

The casino at Palm Beach has deveI-
oped in a few years from a modest, but

has been transformed within 10 or Is

new lOEh lilies.
Theodore Roosevelt's good fortune has
not deserted him. The stars IN their
courses seem to fight for him. If he still
cherishes an ambition to return to the
White House. the path has been opened
TO him by President Taft. and no thor
oughfare could be more inviting or easier
TO travel. Mr.. Roosevelt has nothing to
unsay upon the tariff. for he has said
precious little about it. II will be re-
membered that he was once a member
of the Golden club. II upon his return to
this country he chooses TO declare his dis
sent fro mthe opinion that the Payne bill
is the best tariff bill ever passed, and to
insist that it is not a fulhllment OF
pledges made, all the influence and the
political skill possessed by Mr.. Taft and
his friends would be exercised in vain to
