Taft's Poker Story.

Those who think President Taft is
worrying himself thin over political
developments may take another guess.
Callers at the Taft cottage find him in
a peaceful frame of mind, taking things
as they come and determined to go
ahead and be president as he sees his
duty, regardless of the effect upon his
own political future.
The president is a good story teller
and very few of his visitors get away
without having joined him in a laugh.
Here is one story credited to the pres
ident by a caller at the Taft cottage
today:
A governor of Colorado (of course
not the present governor) and friend
were playing euchre. The hands had
lust been dealt and the governors
friend looked at him and sighed:
Il wish l was playing poker"
rs that so?" said the governor in
differently, licking the broken wrap
per of his cigar. How much would
you bet?"
I'D bet 500 on this hand" said the
friend.
We'll" said the governor, yawning'
you must have a good hand" Then
squinting at a queen that was lying on
the table he added: Il think l might
take you on If had that queen
Take it," said the governors friend
which the governor did and promptly
bet $1,000. His friend saw him and
dropped four kings. The governor lald
down four aces and lone queen.
It's your money" said the friend
after he had recovered, but will you
tell me what the deuce you wanted with
that queen?"
President Taft himself doesn't play
poker, but he knows enough about the
game to appreciate how largely human
nature figures in it and it was in IL
lustration of this point that he is said
TO have told the story.-New York Sun.

Surprised Captain.

He was an old gentleman commutel
travelling to his home on one of the
river boats. says the New York Sun. He
sat in the bow of the boat and took
notice of everything it passed. Pres
emily he saw queer looking craft tied
up at door. He called to the captain
who happened to be near.
Say, Jim," he said, for the captain
and he were old chums, that looks
like a Nile boat. What is it?"
The captain looked. That is an Nile
boat" he said.
That a Nile boat" repeated the
commuter. "A Nile boat? Man. what
are you talking about?"
We'll. l say it is an lie boat" de-
clared the captain stoutly. See it ev-
cry time I go up the river. Huh
guess l ought to know"
We'll, say you're talking nonsense
responded the commuter, just as de-
cidedly. How would a Nile boat get
here. What would it he doing here"
What would 1t he doing here
scornfully asked the captain. why
there's a dozen lie factories hereabout
lie boats is as common as dirt along
here. Wonder you haven't seen 'en
before"
Then it was the old gentleman's turr
to say Huh"

Jewels. 1t is the latest fad to wear all
the pendants and brooches of precious
jewels one can muster and then hide
their glitter under a veil of chiffon, so
that they appear as n glowing part of
the under dress.
Generally speaking, hats are higher
at the back than at the front, a slight
rise commencing from the ear, in order
that the nape of the neck may he open
to view. Oriental embroidery, more
specifically termed Byzantine, is much
used to brighten an otherwise sombrc
hat. Enormous velvet turbans are
made of tiny Venetian beads. in the
richest of colOrs.

At a Pinch.-There's a certain min
lister whose duties sometimes call him
out of the city. He has always ar
ranged for some of his parishioners to
keep company with his wife and lit
tie daughter during these absences,
Recently. however, he was called away
so suddenly that he had no opportu-
nifty of providing a guardian.
The wife was very brave during the
early evening. but after dark had fall
len her courage began to fail. She
stayed up with her little girl till there
was no excuse for staying any longer
and then took her upstairs to bed.
'INow, go to sleep, dearie," she said
Don't be afraid. God will protect
you"
Yes, mother" answered the little
girl. "that'n be ali right tonight. hu
the next time let's make better ar
angements."-Human Life.
