Teddy and Taft.

Some of the most remarkable

Roosevelt was always IN the lime

the public was actually interested in,
and which It wanted to know about.
But II William H. Taft Is getting
an unusual amount OF publicity these
days, It f. wholly due to a brand
new institution which has been es-
tablished IN the White house, in
short, press bureau.
When Charles d. Hilles succeeded
Charles d. Norton as secretary to
the president a couple OF months ago
It was pretty we'll understood here
that he was going to run Mr.. Taft
politically. Nobody had any obtec-
ton TO that for IT is well known that
The president is not much OF a poll

and then could do no harm But
neither the seasoned politicians nor
the correspondents in the capital
were prepared for what Hilles actu-
ally has done, and many are the
criticisms OF his unprecedented ac-
ton In running a theatrical press

tive once of the chief magistrate Of

FEES FOR ITS FLASHES.

Lighthouse.
The republic of San Salvador is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account Of n volca-
no that it owns and without the slight
est cost of upkeep.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port of Acajutla.
and its pillar of cloud by day and its
FIRE sky by night are visible for many
miles out at sea 1t bursts forth every
seven minutes and is just as accurate
as any revolving light that warns
mariners of danger in any part of the
world
This volcano has been keeping up
this seven minute series of eruptions
even since any one can remember. 1t
is a favorite amusement of visitors to
sit by the hour during the lazy after
moons and. watch in hand, to time the
eruptions till they tire of the occupa-
ton and fail asleep. No one has ever
caught the volcano mapping. however.
Every vessel that puts in at Acajutla
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There
is no other lighthouse than the vol
cano. but that is sufficient excuse for
the government OF Salvador to make
charge for its services. The explo-
sions that accompany the eruptions
sound like detonations of heavy
charge OF dynamite. but fortunately
they are not sufficient to shake the
ground perceptibly more than about a
mile or two from the summit of the
crater.-Pearson's Weekly.
