on which TO hang a few observations
MIR. Taft is not that sort OF man. He
is not rich man himself. and has
never selected his friends by the size
OF their bank rolls and the number of
automobiles and airships and yachts
and town and country residences they
own. Fine frocks and stylish weskits
and the latest models OF fashionable
dogs have a certain attraction for
him. doubtless, just as they have for
all healthy persons who like to see
the elephants go round and round:
but he can get along without them.
Simply because he is President is
no reason why he should not pick
and choose for himself whom he shall
invite into his own social circle. The
Constitution does not limit his right
or choice in such matters; and the
Beverly people will believe us when
we tell the mthat IL the New Ma.
tionalism shall work out according to
the original plans and specifications

ARIZONA ROAD RUNNER.
A Sociabls Bird That Is Said to Hate
q Rattlesnake.

A Soeiable Bird That Is Said to Hate
Rattlesnake. l
The road runner is one Of Arizona's
distinctive pathological institutions.
1t Is long legged, long billed bird,
slender OF build and standing some
ten inches high. 1t is not often seen
In the farming districts, but is ia
miliar sight on the desert.
1t has gained the name of road run
ner from its habit OF taking the road
in front OF travellers be they on horse
back or wheeled conveyance, and run
ming swiftly or slowly, as occasion re-
quires, showing off its neighborly spir-
1t and running qualities. Ut Is not IN
common for it to keep in company OF
the traveller for several hundred yards
No resident Of Arizona would kill q
road runner. 1t is firmly believed that
the bird Is the deadly enemy OF that
monster of the desert, the rattlesnake.
We don't know whether any OF our
readers ever saw road runner kill q
rattlesnake. If there is an authentic
story of such thing we would be
glad to publish It, But the accepted
tradition is that the road runner and
the rattlesnake are deadly enemies
and th3t tlic rattlesnake fears the
road runner Ueyond anything else.
1t is told that the bird drives the
snake into a coil and then. darting
around the serpent like lightning,
pccks it to death Whatever truth

No a-DIsTHcr HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC STARS.

Although Eastern High School
during the past two years has
failed to win a baseball or foot
ball championship, or to make
much of a name for itself in
basketball and track, yet there
is one little athlete enrolled at
the Capitol Hill Institution who
always attracts attention by his
brilliant work. He is Walter NJ.
Parker. OF 1926 Illinois avenue,
who is at present in his third
year at school, and a likely
choice for the football captaincy
next season. Parker is even
smaller than AIicky Guy, or
Western. but is possessed Of just
as much grit and speed. He
weighs 1l9 pounds and stands
i've feet seven inches. Three
years ago Parker attended Busi-
ness High School. and made the
football eleven easily. the fol-
lowing season he transferred his
affections to Eastern and played
left end on the eleven and second
base on the nine Last fall he
was Eastern's right half and
quarter. and in the spring played
third base on the ball nine. Par
ker is the best all-round athlete
at Eastern. and is very popular
with his teammates and class
mates. He also manages to keep
