ROOSEVELT. AND TAFT MEET
FORMER EXECUTIVE CALLS ON
PRESIDENT AT BEVERLY.
Maintain Secrecy Concerning What
Passed Between Them In Con-
ference-Marked With
CordiaIty.

Beverly, Mass.--A smile spread over
the face of President Taft Thursday
afternoon as he hurriedly left his work
in the library of the Burgess Point
cottage and rushed to the veranda
when the Lodge limousine drove up,
the "honk honk" Of which was an
nouncing the arrival of former Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
They met just outside the door and
simultaneously Taft clapped hand on
the Roosevelt shoulder as Roosevelt
seized the presidents hand in strong
grip.
Mr. President" exclaimed the ore;
and Theodore" cried the other.
by George" continued Roosevelt,
this is fine. l am mighty glad to see
you, Mr.. President"
Thus, after separation of sixteen
months, Taft and Roosevelt met again.
at the Taft cottage here in Beverly,
with only Senator Lodge and Secre-
tary Norton present. all the rest of
the world being barred out.
Those who witnessed the meeting
old-time cordially of relations be-
tween the two-that there was the
best of feeling displayed and that
the hearty bursts of laughter that pro-
ceeded first from the president and
then from Roosevelt as they sat on
the veranda and chatted for two hours
and half, was strongly reminiscent
of the old White House Gays.
In long interview with Chairman
Martin A. Knapp of the commission
Friday President Taft went exhaustive
ly into the provisions Of the new law
and later, In conversation with callers,
he earnestly pointed out that there
need be no apprehension that the COM
mission will run amuck or that the
new law will be used to club indiscrim-
| lnately all railroads that propose an
| advance In rates.
The law, the president pointed out,
was not passed for the purpose Of
lowering rates, or even of holding all
rates where they are at the time Of
the passage of the law, but rather for
the purpose of equalizing rates.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he

could neither sit still nor lie quietly in

would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed TO spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.

CURIOUS FUNERAL

The Viscomtesse de Vaugelet, who
recently died in Frances at the age of
seventy-seven, left the bulk of her
fortune, estimated at 100000, various
minor legacies being deducted, to the
town of Riom on certain curious con-
ditions, which were all, or nearly all,
complied with. She insisted on an en-
tirely white" funeral, with white trap
pings, white flowers and white horses.
No white flowers were discoverable in
the country, but in other respects her
wishes were obeyed. The late Wis
comtesse seems to have been particu-
larly musical, for she bequeathed 5000
to the local band on condition it play
ed Ghopin's Funeral March" contin-
uously during the obsequies all the
way from the house to the church, and
from the church to the graveyard, a
distance of 16 miles. The result was
that the band played Chopin's Flu
neral March" 81 times, and then re-
tired almost inanimate to a village
inn, where portion of the 5000 was
consumed in drinks.

show more bravery than men,"
AYE, aye, sister," echoed a mighty
chorus.
When it comes to real danger we
fear nothing"
Aye, aye, sister,"
Now. take sister Horn, our worthy
fighter and vote getter of this district.
She fears nothing. Two nights In
succession sister Horn came homs
from one of our enthusiastic meet
irgs and found man under her bed"
There was short pause. Then a
little emaciated chap who had crept
to the front unobserved arose and
stretched his arms.
"H'm!" he calculated, with a. deep
yawn. l'll bet dollar agin a plug
of tobacco that man was her husband
seeking safety"
And when the little emaciated chap
finally recovered his bearings he was
on the sidewalk minus hat and collar.

worlds literature and romance is
found only in Europe. where II grows
upon the apple. hawthorn. sycamore,

was the sacred tree of the Druids:
e"d when the mistletoe was found

pecially designated by the gods for re-
hgious uses. Elaborate religious cere-
monials were celebrated under such
trees, ending with the sacrifice of two
white oxen, after which the mistletoe
was cut down. The ancient Germans
also held the parasitic plant in super
stitious veneration. and the Celts re-
garded it as possessed of magical
properties.
