PRIMROSES.
wITHERS A POLO EXPERT.

The name of Herbert Withers, as
violoncellist, is familiar to everyone.
But as Withers, the polo player, 1t IS
comparatively unknown here. AS the
game has been so much spoken OF IN
this section lately it may be of IN
terest to know that until lately Mr..
Withers was keen polo player and
vas member of a family quartet
which comprised his father, brother
Ross. an officer in the 10th Indian
Cavalry and his famous polo brother,
Gordon, who is known to all polo play
ers as the hardest hitter on any polo
ground in the world. Gordon Nlthers
has lately been giving the American
team, which recently beat England
their practice games at his place IN
Wemblev. near London. In fact he
took charge of all their ponies during
the stay of the American team in Eng
land. Considerable criticism has beer
sheard because Gordon was not select
ed to play in the All-England team
against America.
And if Mr.. Withers was success
at polo he is a greater success at the
side of a cello. With his accomplished
wife and Charles Bennett an agreement
has been reached whereby the public
is to have say as to the program fo'
the second concert which is to TAKE
place on Wednesday night. This is tt

a Success.

terday afternoon. They won by 6 to
Z. This does not mean bingles, nor
runs, but twosomes won. Neither
Carter nor Faxon Bishop turned up
to captain their teams.
But the lapse of the two captains
did not stop very close and well
contested tournament. There was
some grand pilikia towards the end
of the play. James Wilder and Norton
Bobo got together and settled the re-
suit of the tournament between them.
They were the last team in. James
was one up at the end of the seven
teenth hole but Bobo won the eigh-
teenth hole, thus tying the score. Then
the whole bunch from the clubhouse
swooped down ON the green's and be-
gan to watch.
The nineteenth hole was tied with
three strokes each. Wilder made a
bad drive but a good approach and
would have won the match right there
if he had not fooled ON the putt.
On the twentieth hole Wilder began
to get so nervous that he was recit-
ing poetry and Boho swished by him
and won the hole and the match for
his side.
Then there was a general adjourn
ment to the clubhouse. A grand chow
der had been arranged by the mem,
bers of the club and there were sew.
eral Congressional visitors present
After the chowder there was an en-
tertainment arranged and conducted
by Jimmie Dougherty.
The show was good and Sonny Cunha
and his quintet made a great hit with
their music. Clarence Waterman in
troduced his ffty-six Limericks, TAX
ling off various members of the club
James Wilder gave large and rotund
stunt and then there was very class
| zeal hula by Messrs. George Smithies
James Wilder, Howard Bowen and sew
eral other members of the club.
After the hula the visitors were
given chance. Mr.. Bartholdt made
very funny speech and W. A. Roden
berg, from Illinois, objected to be
known as Rosenberg. Then he told sc
| many funny stories that everybody
had to laugh. They did not laugh be
/ cause they thought they were forced
to, by any means. Mr.. Rodenlerg re
! tailed some of those clever stories il
| the Saturday Evening Post, so wei
that nobody present recognized then
and they all laughed.
It was one of the greatest events
ever brought off by the Country Club
The program was arranged and pro
duced by Jimmie Dougherty so sweet
ly that all the performers were brought
! on and retrieved in just time enough
to make people laugh and not bor'
| them.
Incidentally the result of the tourna
ment was something like this:

JUMPING BEANS TABU,

Some jumping beans which were sent
to the Advertiser the other day by a
Chinese merchant and were displayed
IN a window of the Gazette office, were
seized by Entomologist Kotinsky. It
appears that the jumping is caused by
eaterpillars inside the beans, and it is
not desired to add worms of this sort
to the Island pests.

Washington, Mar. Sin the senate
chamber, which seldom before has wit
messed so impressive a ceremony or
held a more brilliant audience, in the
presence of high dignitaries of state
and nation and the ambassadors and
the representatives of every country
of the civilized world, William H. Taft
shortly before one o'clock yesterday
took the oath of Office as president Of
the United States and delivered his in
augural address. A binding snow and
sleet storm, which swept in upon
Washington late Wednesday night and
continued throughout the forenoon,
caused an abandonment of the outdoor
ceremony at the capitol.
The nations capital, for many hours,
was cut off from all wire communica-
ton with the rest of the world.
1t was day of strenuosity in Wash

outgoing executive the weather made
blizzardly appeal to the thousands
who were not deferred by the worst

Though the thousands of citizens
who had come here from all over the

works were given with their brilliancy
undimmed by the adverse weather
conditions.
The ball, given in the Pension build
ing, was magnificent, as it always is.
1t was attended by a tremendous
throng. In the center of the great hall
which occupies the lower floor of the
structure, a space was roped off. The
visitors stood outside the open place
waiting the arrival of President and
Mrs. Taft and Vice-President and Mrs.
Sherman. They came finally and
stayed on the main floor for some
time, and then retired for the presi-
dents box in the gallery above, where
they watched the proceedings below.
Unusual success attended the efforts
of the committee that had charge of
decorating the ballroom, and it was
generally admitted that such wonder
fully beautiful effects had rarely, if
ever, before been accomplished.
A vaulted canopy of bunting reduced
the great height of the hall by some
40 feet. The color scheme of this can
opy was a deep cream tint and this
was also carried out behind the two
stored colonnades which encircled the
court, forming a background to the
elaborate floral decorations.

not attend the ball, there was an illu-
mination and fireworks display such as
Washington never before saw. His

GERMANS PRAISE ROOSEVELT.
Gazette Pays Former President Trib-
ute for Efforts Toward Friendship.

Berlin, Mar 8.-The North German
Gazette in it's weekly political review
after paying former President Roose-
welt a glowing tribute, claiming him
as one of the greatest statesmen the
United States ever has produced,
says:
From the German standpoint the
developments which German-American
relations made under President Roose-
welt will ever be remembered with
satisfaction The friendship which
has ever marked the relations of the
two countries acquired new security
during the past seven years.
Both here and in America the con-
viction has grown more and more uni
versal that the two powers no
where have been kept apart through
diversities of political interests, but
that they have been impelled by
weighty considerations to cultivate
that friendly relationship in the inter
ests of themselves, as well as of the
upward lift of the civilization of all
peoples"

HIS OFFICIAL ACTS.

Rev. Holmes Declares Former Chief
Was No Statesman-Walks to
Church Trough Snow
with Wife.

New York, Mar S-Theodore Roose-
welt expected this morning to make his
first trip to the city from his Sycamore
Hill home on business to-day. He will
visit the Outlook office and may have
an interview with other publishers con-
corning his African hunting story
The eX-president was the theme of
sermons in several churches yesterday,
and in one, Calvary Baptist church, the
pastor, DR.. R. S. Macarthur, offered
series of resolutions to his Current
Events class, highly commencing Mr..
Roosevelt's administration.
Praised in Resolutions.
The resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted, rejoiced at the superb
service which Mr.. Roosevelt has rem
dered as patriot, statesman and presi-
dent, as father of the Panama canal
and as the peacemaker in the Russo
Japanese war, and honored him for his
loyal support of civic righteousness
and the highest ideals of manhood.
In an address Dr. Macarthur said
that only Washington and Lincoln's
administrations can compare with
ROosevelt's for single moment.
Il challenge contradiction by his
critics" he concluded, when l say,
call the roll of the" great achievements
of the presidents and you will find
nothing greater than he has accom-
plished."
Called a Great Politician.
In thn Of
tarian), Rev. John Haynes Holmes de-
livered a sermon on Religion and Pol
itics," in the course of which he said
of Mr.. Roosevelt:
Some people think that he was
great statesman. Mr. Roosevelt was
not statesman; to his discredit be it
said that he was the smartest politi-
clan of our time he was destructive
and not constructive. But it is through
that that his place in history is as
sured him. He was willing and had
the courage to stake his own party and
the mere material prosperity of the
country because he believed that there
was involved something higher, some
thing more important If America
was saved from corruption as Rome
and France were not, it was through
this man."
Walks Three Miles to Church.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his wife walked
through the slush and snow on foot to
church yesterday. They had left Sag
amore Hill, three miles from Oyster
Bay, at 1920 a. M, the former presi
dent dressed in a gray sack suit an i
heavy russell shoes, the soles and heels
of which were covered with hob-nails.
1t was with his usual rapid stride that
Col. Roosevelt swung along, and Mrs.
Roosevelt had difficulty in keeping
pace with him. Both were in their
pew at Christ Episcopal church ten
minutes before the hour scheduled for
services.
On the way from their home they
met many of their neighbors and chat
ted with them.

CONGENIAL WORK
And Strength to Perform 1t.

A person in good health is likely
and enjoy work.
On the other hand, if the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong
food, work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes a Washing
ton girl, 81 was a railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone in a
large city, l lived at boarding house.
For breakfast it was mush, greasy
meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
after a few months of this diet
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed a ter
rible effort, and thought the work was
to blame-too arduous.
AT home / had heard my father
speak of a young fellow who went
long distances in the cold on Grape
Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast
81 concluded if it would tide him
over a mornings heavy work, 1t might
help me, so on my way home one
night l bought a package and next
morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk
for breakfast.
81 stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less
than two weeks l noticed improve
ment. I can't just tell how we'll
felt, but remember / used to walk
the IL blocks to business and knew
how good it was simply to live.
CAS- to my work-well, did you ever
feel the delight of having congenial
work and the strength to perform it?
That's how I felt I truly believe
there's life and vigor in every grain of
Grape-Nuts."
