Asa Goddrd, of the American Auto
mobile Association, was recounting in
Worcester some of his touring ad-
ventures.
"One summer morning." he said.
"the approach OF a great flock of sheep
obliged me TO pull off the narrow
country road. halted my car and
watched with interest the passage IF
the sheep, the intelligent dogs and
the shepherd. had short talk
with the shepherd about his odd and
difficult trade.
Look here / said. what do you
do. driving sheep on a narrow road,
when you meet another flock coming
the opposite direction?'
80 Well said the shepherd, 'ye
just drive straight on. both of ye
and the one that has the hest dogs

TAFT ON THE JOB.
HOLDS SEVERAL CONFERENCES
AND AN EAST ROOM REOEP-
TION.
Tariff Discussed With Republican
Members of the Ways and Means
Committee-Cuba's Congratulations
Extended-Several Changes Made
In White House Office Force.

Washington, March 5.-The Taft
administration took its first stride to-
DAY. The new president named his
cabinet, the senate confirmed his Sc
lections and it's members will take
the oath of office tomorrow morning,
with the exception of George w.
Wickersham, who was sworn in as
attorney general today, and of Messrs.
Dickinson and Maeveagh, whose per-
sonal affairs will not permit of their
reaching Washington for a week or
more.
An important conference took
place between President Taft and the
members of the ways and means COM
mittee. The committee has framed a
tariff bill. which, it is understood,
contains a provision for the collection
of an Inheritance tax--one of the sug-
gestions for raising revenue contained
in the inaugural address of President
Taft. Mr.. Taft told the committee
there would be no delay in the official
proclamation calling the extra ses-
sion of Congress for March Is. His
message to this session, he said,
would recommend that it confine it's
work exclusively to tariff revision.
that there might be no unnecessary
delay in enacting this most important
law.
He would not, he said, discuss In
his message any details of tariff revis-
ion, leaving all such matters to the
Judgment Of Congress. The commit
tee members left the White House
expressing the belief that the work
Of the extra session would be complet-
ed before June 1.
Aside from these important accom-
plishments President Taft gave him.
self up heartily to the demands Of
his friends and thousands of inaugu-
raj visitors, who wished to shake his
hand. see his smile and get a word to
carry home with them.
Philander G. Knox had the honor
of being tire first caller on President
Taft. who took his seat at the desk
abandoned yesterday by President
Roosevelt In the White House office
building at precisely $3.50 o'clock this
morning. fifteen- minute interview,
Mr.. Knox said, had it's Importance.
but was not for publication.
