A Grim Old Fighter.

In the drama of the revolution
against "Cannonism" the most dra-
matte figure was that of 'Uncle Joe"
himself. He dwarfed all the others,
insurgents and regulars alike. With
the odds against him, he made what
must be recognized as an unflinching
fight, maintaining his freshness, de-
spite his more than 70 years, through
the strain of long and exciting ses-
sions, and managing to extort, even
from his opponents, what his friends
are not slow in calling "vote of
confidence. With his associates
weakening and counselling surren-
der, he put up grim resistance. He
was the youngest, boldest and most
incorporating of the regulars, led
his own forces and furnished the
spirit Of the defense, for there can be
no doubt that many of his own fol-
lowers had no stomach for the issue.
1t was remarkable exhibition of
vitality, resources and courage. New

The Washington correspondent for

of the president: William H. Taft
laid down the last paper of the heap
that accumulated on his desk on the
first day of the second year of his
presidency and chuckled. His grin
broadened into smile, and that de-
veloped into roar of laughter.
"How do feel after my first year
in the presidents office, you ask?"
he said to a caller who had congratu-
lated him on the anniversary. "Well,
I'll tell you how feel" and he laugh
ed again. 81 feel just about like the
preacher who passed the hat through
his congregation and brought it back
to the pulpit empty, and then thank
