PRESIDENT TAFT PHOTOGRAPH
ED IN MASONIC REGALIA.
Mention was made in the Gazette
OF Tuesday of the fact that Presl-
dent Taft had posed for his photo
graph for Observation-Disclosures
Lodge, A. F. & A. N. but. owing to
the lateness OF the hour, il was i'm
possible 10 get full particulars.
From Masonic standpoint, the
photos obtained there will probably
be the most interesting pictures tax
en- in years BY previous arrange
ment with the President. Worshlptul
Master C. II. Callahan. accompanied
by the Rev. VIM. ]. Morton. Rector
OF Christ Church. Mr.. Lawrence
Washington. whose father was the
private owner OF Mount Vernon (and
who is the only male member OF the
family. now living, born at the cele-
brated homestead} and the photo
grapher, Mr.. Leroy Jameson OF inns
civ. arrived at the Executive Man
sion about two o'clock and were con-
Quoted TO the East Room by the Presl-
dents Aid, where complete arrange
ments were perfected for the sitting.
Promptly 10 the minute the President
in the hes, OF humor, made his ap-
pearance.
There were four different views
taken. Two groups consisting. llrst,
OF the President, Mr.. Washington
and Rev. Mr.. Norton: second. OF the
President, Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Gala
han. then two OF the President alone
= one standing and one sitting. In
all the pictures Mr.. Taft wore the
Washington Apron and Sash. when
we're presented TO General Washing
ron in 1854 by the Marquis Lata-
yette for his wife and given the
Lodge in 1912 by Lawrence Lewis
nephew Of the General. In his right
hand Mr.. Taft held the little Trowel
with which General Washington laid
the cornerstone OF the National Capt.
tai.
These pictures will be used III
illustrating the Memorial prospectus
and history. which will be written
10 further that undertaking. Not
only will these pictures be inter-
estinr 10 the Masonic Fraternity
throughout the country but will stand
as a splendid testimony Of the Presl-
dents emphatic endorsement and
earnest desire TO assist the Memorial
to Washington proposition.
The visitors speak in the highest
terms Of the cordial reception given
them BY the President: acquieSclnS
| in every request, he showed the III
most patience and desire to accom-
modate them and generouseiy COM
piled in every particular TO their
wishes 10 pose 10 the best advan-
raee for these most interesting views;
expressing his pleasure in meeting
the delegation and being privileged TO
wear The apparel that tn" father
of his country" had worn.

WHERE MANIToU SPEAKS

A familiar landmark near Aayton.
Wis.,, is the old Council Elm" that
stands at a bend in the Manitowoc
river a short distance below Hayton.
The Pottawotomie Indians who once
occupied this region regarded the tree
with awe and veneration, believing It
endowed with special attributes by
the Manitou or Great Spirit. Under
its shade all important councils Of the
tribe took place. AS meeting place
for representatives Of the different
northwestern tribes who wished to en-
ter the Pottawotomie territory. it
must have witnessed, some strange
scenes. Each spring and fall all the
.Pottawotomie clans were wont to
gather at the spacious camping ground
near the tree. For days the beating
of drums. the chanting Of barbaric
songs and fantastic dances occupied
the attention of the savages. Among
the many Indian legends concerning
the tree one of the few that has sur
vived is to the effect that the Manitou
speaks to his people in the rustic OF
its leaves and the sigh Of the winter
wind through the bare branches.

SOUTHERN POINT OF NATION

The most southern point OF main
land territory in the United States is
on a sharp bend OF the Rio Grande
river about 20 miles southwest Of
Brownsville. The government Official
survey shows that its latitude Is rs
degrees and 8 minutes, which places It
below the most southern part OF the
peninsula of Florida. but not as far
south as Key West The spot Is
marked by group Of picturesque
Mexican ranch buildings with their
matched roofs. Growing, upon the
land are groves of wild palm trees
which lend to the beauty Of the trop-
ical scene The distance between
Brownsville and the mouth Of the Rio
Grande In direct line is approximate
ly % miles, but the river has SO many
curvatures that its course between tho
two points covers 10 miles. accord
ing to the survey Of the international
boundary commission. which is COM
posed Of the representatives. Of the
United States and Mexican govern
,ments. Before the river empties into
the gulf It makes sharp bend to
the south, and this rounded peninsula
forms the most southern mainland OF
the country. Most of the territory
between Brownsville and the Rio
Grande's mouth is covered by dense
wilderness of chaparral. The soil is
Of primitive richness, caused by the
periodical deposits Of silt from the
streams overflow Owing to the in
accessibility of the little Mexican
ranch. which holds the distinction OF
marking the most southern spot, tho
place has been visited by very few
Americans.
