The Tale That Taft Told.

While spending the winter in Geor.

dent, Mr.. Taft went to the city of
Athens to deliver an address to the
students of the University of Chicago.
he met q member of the faculty-a
etaunch democrat-who said:
"Judge, l voted the democratic
ticket, but wanted to see you VIM"
JudgelTaft replied:
"You remind me of the story of
Brer Jasper and Brer johnson, who
we're bothsdeacons in the Shiloh Bap.
list church, although avowed enc
mics.
"Brer Jasper died and the other
deacons told Brer johnson that he
must say something good about the
deceased or Sunday night. At first
he declined, but finally consented.
"Sunday night, when time for the
eulogy arrived, he arose slowly and
said: 'Brederen and sistern, I prom.
ised ter say sump'n good bout
Deacon Jasper tonight, an I will say
We all hopes he's gone whar We knows

OUR AMERICAN COOKS.

Archbishop Ireland, being q good
%churchman, remains strictly scrip
tural in locating the responsibility
for the high cost of living. Accord.
ing to Scripture, it was woman who
first tempted man to eat of the things
he should get along without, sur
rounded as he was by 80 many other
good things provided by Providence.
The archbishop has been looking for
the woman in this case, and he thinks
he has found her. The daughters of
Eve r still in the garden OF life, he
believes. While the choice cuts OF
meat are not forbidden for our eating
by any divine law, or any statutory
law. they are forbidden under an econ
omic law expressing itself in prices
which make it dangerous and unprotit.
able for US to indulge ourselves in
them. In this emergency it is the
woman who again tempts US. Instead

i! Montana Land Swindle.

VIRGINIA CITY, Feb. 5.-Another
victim of the land scheme which has
been perpetrated upon many residents
of the middle west by the Yellowstone
National Land company, with head
quarters in Chicago, came to light
this week when Benson White arrived
In the city from his home at Ionia,
Mich. Mr.. White had purchased q
l0.acre tract of land nea Lyon, on
the upper Madison valley, at $50 per
acre, payable 81 down and the balance
in monthly payments of 81 per acre.
The land was represented to him as
being fine fruit land, and he came here
for the purpose Of making arrange
ments to plant it to orchard trees, but
when he reached Ennis and learned
that he had been imposed upon, he
went no farther.
Mr.. White said that the Yellowstone
National Land company has disposed
of the entire tract of $500 acres, for.
merly know as the Granite mountain
stock form, to eastern land investors,
at $50 per acre, and all bought with the
idea that they we're buying fruit land.
In fact, the purchasers were assured
by the company that it was in every
way as good fruit land as that of the
Bitter Root valley.
The land is located at an altitude
of $500 to 1000 feet, and it would be
impossible to successfully grow the
hardest apples. 1t is good hay land,
and winter wheat might do we'll there,
but as there are frosts during nearly
every month in the year, it would b.
out of the question to grow fruit.

Absence of Marshal Leaves Customs
House in a Quandary.

The new United States court Of GUS
toms appeals has been in a quandary
over the payment of salaries and other
expenses, owing to the illness and abb

is also it's d:sbursing officer. The marshal
is i'll at his home in Columbus, Ohio.
and will not be able to return for some
time.
The disbursing officer of the Depart
ment of Justice has been paying the
salaries of the judges and officers OF
the court, while the salaries of minor
employees, with expenses, have been set
tied direct with the Treasury. The court
appealed to Controller Tracewell for
way out of the difficulty. and in a de-
csion he states that a special disbursing
officer may be employed, but there is no
money from which he can be paid. The
controller also decides that the bond OF
the disbursing officer of the Department
of Justice would not cover his disburse-
m/nts for the court, and that the bond
would not be responsible for any errors
