1AFTs FANCY STEPS.

After Speaker cannon's Highland Fling
President Danced "Hoe Down."
While more than fifty guests looked
on laughingly and applauded, Speaker
Cannon tempted President Taft the
other night into test of terpsichorean
agility In the east room of the White
House at Washington. Both stopped
painting when the trial was ended, but
the opinion was unanimous that the
honors on fancy steps were even. The
dancing followed dinner given by
the president to Uncle Joe, said to be
the first formal affair ever accorded
speaker Of the house of representatives
by president.
The dinner ended the company went
to the east room. An orchestra played
q gentle waltz, and the president led
off with Mrs. Joseph FL. Gaines, wife
of the representative from West Vir-
ginia. The speaker, with Mrs. Laugh
lin, sister of Mrs. Taft, glided out on
the polished floor in the wake Of the
chief Then the dance was on.
In the intermission, however, when
the orchestra struck up lively tune
Uncle Joe stepped briskly into the mid
die of the room and brought his heels
together sharply. There was patting
OF gloved hands, and voices called en-
couragingly to the guest Of honor. In
a moment the speakers heels were
twinkling in brilliant highland ding.
Excellent, eh?" he called exultant-
ly to Mr.. Taft. II was something of
dancer when I was youngster"
For answer the president stepped
smiIingly forward, and those who
were present say the two executed
several steps of an old fashioned shoe
down. that delighted every one.

Removed From Head Of Man Who
Thought He Had Tumor.
Agriculture has reached such an adj
vanced stage in Denver that water
melon vines are being grown in mems
ears. That was discovered recently
by Dr. Black. He removed from the
ear of Richard Johnson a watermelon
seed which not only had taken root,
but also had sprouted. In fact, the
seed. the many yellowish roots and
the sprouts filled the ear cavity. John
SON had no idea he was being used for
watermelon patch.
He went to the doctor convinced
fully he was suffering from tumor.
That diagnosis of his ailment had been
made by other doctors, but DR.. Black
is enough of a farmer to know a
watermelon vine when his probe
strikes 1t, and be relieved johnson in
short order.
johnson has no IDEA how the seed
got In his ear. He thinks he has car
ried 1t since last summer, because it
was early last fall that bis ear first
began to trouble him. Several times
before he went to DR.. Black he SUI
fered such agony he was on the eve
of going on the operating table to
have the "tumor" removed.

The storm center will be Ohio. Be
Ing the presidents own state and also
the home of Governor Harmon, who,
IL reelected. will be a leading candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination, the Ohio contest becomes
the preliminary engagement to the
general battle of 1912. While the state
is normally Republican by from $4,000
to 100000 plurality, the last two gov
ernors Il elected were Democrats, and
Harmon had 1892 In presidential
year, although Taft carried the state
by 69.5e1 In addition to the state
ticket and the presidential stake in
the governorship, Ohio also elects one
senator and twenty-one congressman.
The Ohio situation has been COM
pIicated by the graft exposures. AS
Governor Harmon has had much to
do with bringing the crookedness to
light and as he has favored economy,
the natural effect would be TO help
him before the people. OF late this
has been somewhat neutralized. how
ever. by President Taftss iIlsistence on
thorough investigation. rhe COM
plication Is augmented By the fact that
Iarmon has opposed the Democratic
machine, Just as President Taft while

The result of all this ana Of other
things Is that party lines we're never
