Taff's weird appearances whenever wanted
and unexpected jumps from point to point,
probably cut down the earnings of the Off
ces in large measure.
When the newspaper correspondents who
made the circuit with the President meet one
another on the street in Washington now
and some one asks, Where's Taff?" there
is laugh, and the minds of all of them 60
back to those fifty-fve days and nights when
Taft performed stunts in travelling and loco
motion and management that were mar
velous to behold. He had been successful
in keeping in touch with Mr.. Taft and his
party every day and night. He had kept up
with the party when it had been running as
a special train, and he had had to get along
on ordinary and local trains. He had been
with them by land and on the water, and he
had not fallen down once on his job of having
every telegraph office the party struck ready
for the immediate sending of immense vol
umes of matter.
He spent lot of money for his company,
and he earned lot for it. He lost that
twenty pounds referred to, and his smile had
had weary twist to it on some occasions;
but he got in one great, broad grin on the run
from Richmond, Virginia, into Washington,
the very last stage of the journey.
1t was then that the President sent mes
Senger lnto one Oh the Gay COACHES u tcii
Taft to approach the presence of Taft.
Taft approached.
"Mr. Taft" said the President. with a
smile that was not weary, for the President
never wearies of travelling, want to tell
you how much have appreciated the con-
venience and comfort you have given me
by always keeping my party and me in per-
feet touch through the telegraph with the
outside world, no matter where we were.

tons that the dispatches were to be placed
in them and their tops tied down tightly
with rope.
These directions were followed, and Taft
was on hand in another launch, with a small
fleet of rowboats following him. His launch
was brilliantly Illuminated with electric
lights, and, as each steamer passed, he called
for the tin pail to be cast overheard. BY
the use of powerful searchlight he located
each pail and through megaphone, told his
helpers in the rowboats the location of it.
The rowboats brought him total of dozen
pals, and he steamed back to shore and put
the dispatches on the wire.
When anybody mentions the Mississippi
River to Taft now he shudders. The file of
press and official matter on the voyage was
heavier than during any other part OF the
Presidents trip. This was due to the fact
that Mr.. Taft was accompanied by many
Senators and Representatives, and their
speeches had to be reported by the CORE
spondents. Another thing that augmented
the file was that every newspaper OF any i'm
portance in the Mississippi Val ey had
special representative on one of the steamers.

"Ah, how cold they feel" he kept mutter-
ing. And tears ran down his cheeks.
THE German Count spoke for the first
time. "Isuggest that it was cataleptic

brought on by cold and want OF food, would
simulate DEATH" He took the Captains
hand to feel his pulse.

The Corporal had replied to the shot. and
a German ran into the open with appraised
arms, spun round, and collapsed. His dark
figure, piteously still, made sad blot on the
white snow.
How many were there?" asked the
French Count, finishing his hasty supper.

t.eyter In the RIvet keo.

There have been romances and ro-
mances, but the latest undoubtedly is
the romance of key of steel rivets.
The outcome of this is being eagerly
awaited by $50 men employed at the
plant of an iron company at Con-
shohocken.
The keg arrived at the plant yester-
day. When the head was off the
workman was surprised to see on
top of the commonplace rivets an en-
velope addressed in pretty, girlish
hand, "To the one who opens this
key"
The ironworker called comrade or
two and they opened the note and
read, written on dainty bit of pa
per, few sentences which asked the
finder to communicate with the writer.
A girls name was signed at the bot
tom, above an address in a Massachu-
sets town.
The finder of the note told others
about it and they in turn spread the
news until nearly every one at the
plant heard it. One hundred and fifty
men wrote to the fair correspondent
last night, some sending letters and
others picture Philadel-

Team Contends.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-That the sale of
baseball player from one club to
another is a direct violation of the
thirteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States which
prohibits slavery, is point raised In
the Luzerne county court here in a
suit involving the transfer of a player
from one organization to another. The
suit is expected to attract consider
able attention among baseball club
owners and players.
Last July the owners of the Wilkes

upon was $500. Three hundred dol.

lowed to go to protest and Manager
Mcclellan of the Allentown club, who
negotiated the sale of Pelequin,
brought suit to recover the 5000. A
Justice of the peace gave judgment
against the club.
Manager Clymer of the Wilkesbarre
club filed with the court a defense
in the suit. He holds that the sale of
a baseball player is in direct violation
of the thirteenth amendment to the
federal constitution and therefore the
note given is void

Tomato Bread.

Bakers are not perhaps generally
aware that up to certain point to
matoes can be used with advantage
in the manufacture of bread that
has the fine flavor of the fruit. with
its stimulating and nourishing propen-
sites; while besides, the bread will
keep longer and moister than ordinary
bread.
The bread has the characteristic
color of the tomato. All that is re-
quired is that the tomato mash, after
perature, should be carefully screened
through sieve and then used as part
of the mixture.
