When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor of the White, and,
accordingly, a car Of this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers, The White Company Of
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington a few days be-
fore his Inauguration and since that
time it has been in almost constant
use. There has not been a day when
the President or some member of
his family have not been see riding
around the National Capital in the
new car. 1t is limited that Mr.. Taft
likes fast travelling and that when
he rides out into the open country, he
does not always insist that the speed
of the car be kept within the legal
limits.
W. ]. Urquhart, manager of the west
ern branch of the White Company, 239
Michigan Ave-, Chicago, ILL.,, said re-
Gently to a correspondent of this
paper: >"We are receiving many in
quiries each day asking for full de-
tails regarding the construction of
Mr.. Taft's car and in reply we are
sending copies of our catalog. Mr.
Taft's car is exactly like any other

Steamer, except that his a has the
United States coat-of-arms painted
on either door. In other words,
when we make a car for the Presi-
dent of the United States there is no
way in which we can make it any
better than the car which you, or
anybody else, can purchase from us.
"Some of those writing to me
about MI. Taft's car say that, al
though they are. very DESTROYS of
having a car like MI. Taft's, they
are afraid that such a car is ONE
what larger and more expensive than
they desire. In reply to such letters,
l point out that our Model o. 20
horsepower car is exactly like our
40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle of construction is ex-
actly the same and the smaller car
possesses all the desirable qualities
of our larger model. In other words,
one can secure an exact duplicate Of
Mr.. Taft's car for $4,000, or a car of
the same qualities, but of smaller d.
mansions, for only $4,000. Judging by
the demand for White cars, a good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make" @

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would s an automobile during his
term as President, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor of selling him a
a and the public watched with in
terest to see what Mr.. Taft's choice
would be. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be Sc
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to MI. Taft as the most de-
sirable.
This prediction proved correct. al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation,
but, with his usual thoroughness, de-
termined to have an investigation
made Of all the principal makes. Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars, visited a number OF
factories so that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.

VALUE or THE HUMBLE HEN.
Figures Make One Think Eddy Has
Not Been Properly Appreciated.

The hens admirers grow. Constant
is their increase. The first official act
of Nebraska's new labor commissioner
was q formal appreciation of this
pillar of society. According to Mr..
Maupin, this fowl brought $18, 10000
worth of eggs to market in Nebraska
last year. The commissioner is unpre-
pared to estimate the value of her Off
spring in the way of fried chicken.
She laid 1900 OO,0 900 eggs in 1908.
Placed end to end these eggs would
reach around the earth and overlap
$4,000 miles. They would make an
egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to Ogden. With ham
they would furnish breakfast for $780,
'OOO,O 600 people and make an omelet
containing 652, 900 cubic feet. The hen
was worth more to Nebraska than the
boosted wheat crop of $4,000, 900; al
most twice as much as the oat crop of
:$16,000,O00; 20 times as much as the
barley crop; 20 times as much as the
rye crop, and one-third as much as the
much-talked-of crop of corn. The com
missioner believes Nebraska needs

Out on the old arbor, the rough and
scraggy grapevine is sending forth
little gray tendrils, reaching farther
toward heaven and away from the
earth that hides its foothold. How
blithely does nature echo forth her

her message of resurrection, joyous
activity, high-mounting aspiration!
Her myriad voices cry through every
sense, to touch and penetrate the spir-

readings from the Gospel of eternal
hope are seen on every side, in the

the blossoming of flower. The woods

chance to blossom on Our Lady's days
(such as the visitation, the assump-
tion, her birth, baptism, ~purifcation).
There are lady's slipper, lady's mantle,
lady's fingers, lady's smock, lady's
tresses. Virgins bower, or clematis,
begins to bloom in July, the feast of
visitation, and is at full bloom at as
sumption in August. ,e
The lily was first found in connec-
ton with the Virgin in the story of
her ascension to heaven, and it orig
mated probably in the second century.
According to this legend, it was three
days after the burial Of our Lords
mother that the apostles visited and
opened her grave and found it filled
with fragrant, spotless lilies. Since
then these matchless flowers have been
called Madonna lilies," or flowers
of the Virgin" The common white
lily Of our gardens, that blooms in
July, and is the sweetest and most
! graceful of all flowers, might we'll be
called "holy." No one seems to know
1ty origin. It is found wild in
Palestine, nor can we find just where
it grows without culture. But we see
it in the faded pictures of old italian
masters and Netherland painters,
made loag before the discovery of this
New World. .
Nearly all of our great poets have
praised this flower. Chaucer and
Spenser speak of it as a mystical bios
som in their far-away gardens and
lady's bowers. Shakespeare it was
who first said: 'To gid refined gold
and paint the lily" and these lines
from n Of his sonnetc tell a truth
that can never be forgotten:
EFor sweetest things turn sourest by thel.
deeds;
Lilies that tester smell far worse than
weeds. -
Milton loved the lily and always spoke
of it in connection with the ose-as
did also Swinburne when he talks of
The lilies n %languors of virtue;
The roses and raptures of vice.
And Tennyson says of Maud's garden
that it was
Fairer tina aught in the world beside,
All made up Of the lily and the rose.
Dear old Herrick, that sweet singer of
spring, has one lily thought that is like
a sigh:
But vanished man,
Like to a lily lost, never can bloom anew
Or bring his days to see a second spring.
Shelley has the lily in his wonder
full garden along with his sensitive
plant. Wordsworth often praises it.
! Burns mentions it frequently. Tenny.
son has lovely lily thoughts; but our
own Longfellow draws the prettiest
picture of m~aidenhood-
Bears a lily in thy hand
Gates Of brass can not Withstand
One touch Of that magic wand.
James Russell Lowell always comes
near to the heart of things and left us
more than one sweet lily poem and al
fusion, and our minor poets all tell
their love for this perfect specimen of
natures handiwork.
"Our Sweet Will Shakespeare" was
born in April, and it was of April's
flowers that he sang most frequently
and most sweetly.
