hands of school children of the Celes-
lial empire
An King, a Cinnamon of influence in
Seattle, went to his native town about
a yea ago and took with him cam
paign banner, on which were photographs
reproductions of the faces OF Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Sherman. From these, the school
children of All Kings village worked
for four months. and finally wove a
picture which those who saw Il at the
White House consider quite remarkable.
The picture was brought back to the
United States. and for time was hung

sentative Humphrey, Of Washington. to
present the picture to Mr.. TAFT and so

The gates were open wide.

There cana a dream so fair;

From heaven in answer rang.

The morn was cold and chill;
