El Paso, Tex. Oct lG.--The long
expected meeting between Taft and
Diaz occurred today. Outwardly It
was attended by a display of soldiery,
the boom of cannon, and pomp sugges-
tive of the supreme authority, but in
the actual hand clasp of the two ex-
ecutives and the exchange OF cour-
teous words there was simple and c?r-
dial informality.
Diaz assured President Taft of his
warm personal regaid and high esteem
of the man who had accomplished SO
much in the Philippines, Cuba AMI
elsewhere, now honored as being the
chief executive Taft declared he
was glad to know the president of
such great nation; the president who
made that nation great.

former ambassador to the United
States, who acted In the capacity of
Interpreter. The ceremonies shifted
back and forth across the shallow Rio
Grande between the little American
city and the Mexican settlement of
Ciudad Juarez
In the customs house there Diaz re-
ceived Taft's return call, and this af-
ternoon entertained Taft and large
party at banquet which. in lavish
decorations and wealth of silver plate
handed down from the time of En-
peror Macmillan, and every detail
was probably the most notable feast
ever served on the American cofti-
nent. At the banquet FORMAL pulic ex-
pressions of regard were exchanged.
One Lad Kills Another.
1t was day of cloudless skies, mar
red only by one incident. A fifteen
year old boy was stabbed to death by a
companion just as Taft arrived here.
Struggling to see the president in the
crowd on the plaza Noll Morgan
pulled knife and stabbed Lawrence
Wimber to death. The crowd was so
great during most of the time that
Tafts breakfasting body could not be
removed. Somebody covered it with
American flags torn from the decora-
tfons.
The Ell Chamisal territory, part of
the city of Ell Paso, over which Mexi-
co is contending for sovereignty, was
neutral territory today
AS Diaz crossed it, the roadway was
lined by American troops. AS Taft
passed over II was lined with Mexican
soldiers.
When Diaz, in the state carriage
reached the boundary he was met by
the American troops and Secretary

A salute of twenty-one guns was
fired, and Diaz stepped from his own
carriage into one provided by the

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should. of course, be durability-and dura- bility means simply pure paint prop erly applied. Pure paint is pure white lead and linseed oil (with or without tinting materiaD.
 Some years ago the paint-buyer was likely to get adulterated or counter felt white lead if he was not familiar with brands. To-day he may buy with perfect safety if he only makes sure that the Dutch Boy Painter trademark is on the packages of white lead that he buys. This trade mark was adopted by National Lead Company to distinguish the pure white lead made by them from the worthless adulterated and fake goods. It is guarantee as valuable to the house-owner as the education of a paint expert could be.

The Ever Chanoinq Waist Line,

Consider the mental agility it takes to keep up with ones waist line. One goes to bed at night in the sweet as- surance that it will be under the arms for the next two or three months at any rate, and awakes to learn from the headlines in the morning papers the waist line is positively at the knees. There is absolutely no use in prognos- ticating anything about it any longer. That the waist line occurred at the waist was an axiom accepted as un- occasionally as that the earth re- wolves on it's axis, but in these days of higher criticism it is likely to be anywhere.

BY CHARLES L. DOYLE

AS the train rolled steadily on it's way, Horace Leith leaned upon the car window sill gazing out upon the New England landscape. There was nothing particularly attractive in the prospect, but it was many years since he had taken this route which led to his old village home of Chelsea, and he was endeavoring to recall certain features of the journey which had once been familiar. It was a tar cry from those old days to the present, when he had gained recognition as a successful business man in New York.
 Suddenly his musings were inter rupted by jerk of the car and the sharp call of the brakeman for another station. He turned around and watched the passengers who were entering and leaving the car. A slight woman with a baby in her arms, attired in black, took the seat directly in front of him and drew his attention for a moment. The train started again, and he leaned back in his former position. Presently the baby climbed back on the seat, in one hand rubber doll and the other clutching the plush cushion. In her efforts to attract Leith's atten- tion the doll fell to the floor and two red little lips issued an imperious command:
 Man, get baby's doll,' she lisped and Leith, reaching down, obeyed the mandate. When he returned the doll the owner smiled rapturously. She was very attractive child and Leith settled himself to watch her and lis ten to the prattle she poured out in broken sentences
 Giancfng at the mirror in front of him, he became aware that he could obtain a full view of the figure of the baby's mother therein. Her face however, was partially hidden by a crepe veil After awhile she ap peared to grow restless and threw back the veil disclosing two flushed cheeks and a pair of dark blue eyes dropping under Iong lashes. It was a

Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so inflamed and sore that I had to put piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth sort of yellow. The ec- zemaitched so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cutieura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North field, Vt, Dec. 19, 1907."

Almost unconseiously he moved a little closer so as to observe her better A chord n his memory seemed to have been touched Surely he had seen her somewhere before When and where could It have been? Not on the stage or in a picture, he felt cer- tain. He thought long and earnestly, but the riddle remained unsolved. Then by different channels his mind travelled back through the years, to the home of his boyhood, the little village, the river he used to swim in and his farewell to Chelsea
 And at this point memory supplied the missing link.

Marriace and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch- ison young woman noted for her good works and gentleness. She was always helping the poor and was pa- tient and kind and universally ad- mired. She married a fairly good man and abused him within three months. She had been good and patient for years, but a husband was too much for her; she had never been cross to any one until she was cross to her husband. There is something about marriage that stirs up hidden depths of meanness on both sides.-Atchison (Kan) Globe
