President Told Wool Men Story Apre-

President Taft recently confessed to
delegation of Ohio wooden manufac-
turers that he has become bewildered
by the intricacies Of the tariff meas
ure. The delegation Of manufacturers
was the seventh that has called IN the
last few days, and all of them have
urged conflicting changes in the sched-
ule as proposed in the senate bill. The
president threw up his hands when
the wooden men sprang seventh sug-

Gentlemen, gentlemen lie is re-
ported to have exclaimed, 'you remind
me Of an experience had on my re-
cent trip into the south. When pass
ing through the mountains of Tennes-
see a reception committee boarded our
car to accompany us to town in
which I was to speak. They were
fine fellows, and the chairman Of the
committee was anxious to tell me all
about the country. Our train was
running along the bank of beautiful
stream, and I asked fits name. The
chairman mumbled something that
was unintelligible. asked him to
repeat it. Again he mumbled so that
I couldn't catch what he said.
"'I beg your pardon I said, but
didn't understand it. Will you spell
it?
"'waal, don't reckon as how I kim,
he replied. Some folks spells it one
way, other folks spells 1t another, and
still other folks spells it different. In
my pore Judgement, jedge, they amt
no correct way to spell it,"
The president looked around the
group laughingly and added that, while
he was not prepared to admit he was
quite SO uniformed on the tariff, he
would confess that on some of the
schedules the story explained his posi-
ton fairly well.

Smith to the deputy sheriff. II was

While the Johnsons were laughing.
Smith walked into the Blackbtrd. He
had lost 30 minutes, and in losing
them had lost his quarry. Sinclair
had disappeared, and Whispering
Smith made a virtue of necessity by
taking the upsetting of his plans with
an unrufiled face. There was but one
thing more, indeed, to do, and that
was to eat his supper and ride away.
The street encounter had made so
much talk in Oroville that Smith de-
clined Gene Johnson's invitation to go
back to the house. It seemed a con-
| venient time to let any other ambi-
t1ous rustlers make good II they we're
disposed to try. and Whispering Smith
went for his supper to the hotel where
the Williams Cache men made their
headquarters.
When he rode away in the dusk his
face was careworn. John Rebstock
had told him why Sinclair lodged;
there were others whom Sinclair
wanted to meet first; and Whispering
Smith was again heading on long,
hard ride. and after man on better
horse, back to the Crawling Stone and
Medicine Bend. There's others he
wants to see first or you'd have no
trouble in talking business to-day.
You nor no other man will ever get
him alive" But Whispering Smith
knew that.
See that he doesn't get you alive,
Rebstock," was his parting retort. III
he finds out Kennedy has got the
Tower w money, the first thing he
does will be to put the Doxology all
