the stork was standing alone on one

say anything. but knew he would do
1t. because he bent his head toward

Prisoner Put Coming Gastronomic Joy
Ahead of Brief Period

VI 6tbCthy.
A colored man from Georgia had
lived in Washington but few years
when he was arrested for some slight
violation of the city ordinances. Upon
hearing that the negro was in jail. the
secretary of the colored Y. NJ. C. A.
secured the services of minister to
go with him and sign the prisoners
bail bond. They reached the jail
shortly before noon. and told the
negro the object of their visit. In re-
Spouse to the proffered kindness he
said:
'Mistah Johnsing. ! sho is glad you
all is gwine to git me out. but ]
wants you-all to fix it SO can't git

or course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unus-
ual request. But moment later they
lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question. the Georgia
negro replied in a whisper:

this gland is intimately con-

In conclusion he says
1t seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of

TAFT and DIAz
MEET AT Ell PAS0
TWO PRESIDENTS EXCHANGE
GREETINGS AND HOLD PRi-
vATE CONFERENCE.
IMPOSING CEREMONIES
DAY OF PAoEANTRY AND CHEER
ING CROWDS ENDS WITH
GRAND BANQUET.

Ell Paso. Texas.-The long expected
meeting between President Taft and
President Diaz of the republic of Mex
leo occurred here Saturday. Outward
ly 1t was attended with display of
soldiery, flare of trumpets, boom
of cannon and pomp of ceremony
suggestive of supreme authority, but
in the actual handclasp of the two ex-
ecutives and in the exchange of cour-
teous words which passed from lip to
lip there was simple but cordial infor-
mality.
President Taft was the first to
speak. In simple American fashion he
assured President Diaz OF his warm
personal regard and his high esteem
of the man who had accomplished so
much. He was glad to know the Pres
ident of such great nation; espe-
cially glad to know the present Presi-
dent who had made the nation great.
President Diaz replied with equal cor
diality.
Both Presidents dwelt upon the har-
monious relations existing between
the United States and Mexico. Pres
ident Taft declared that this meeting
was not necessary to make stronger
the bonds of friendship: 1t merely
typified the strength of the bonds as
they already exist.
There were less than a score of per
sons permitted to witness the meet
ing of the two executives. Even these
were excluded later when President
Taft and President Diaz withdrew
into an inner room of the Chamber OF
Commerce building. where the historic
meeting occurred and were only at
tended by Governor Creel Of the state
of chihuahua. former ambassador to
the United States, who acted as in
terpreter.
The scene of the days ceremonies
shifted from time to time from this
thriving little American city across
the shallow. wandering Rio Grande
river to the typical little Mexican
town Of Ciudad Juarez. | nthe Gus

II was at this banquet that the more
formal and public expressions OF re-
gard between the two executives as
the representatives of the people OF
the United States and of Mexico were
exchanged.
The banquet also marked the end
of the day of international pageantry
"a day of cloudless skies. day Of
rushing, cheering crowds. day OF
marching soldiers. a day of the jour
neying into foreign territory of a
President of the United States, for the
second time in the history of the ma
ton. 1t was day of amity between
the two great nations of the United
