TAFT JOINS IN TRIBUTES
Guest of Evening Reads the
Lesson Learned of His Many
Political Battles.

Five hundred friends and supporters OF
ex-Congressman Herbert Parsons gathered
TO honor him at dinner at Reisenweper .
last night and told him in various ways
that they would not accept his statement
that he was through with public life.
Ezra P. Prentice presided. He opened
the oratory with the remark that TOR all
the time he had known him Mr.. Parsons
had always followed closely the words OF
ST. Paul. Re sure Of your calling and your
election" until the last election.
President Taft sent letter OF regret at
his inability to he present.
II am thoroughly familiar with TN" ser
vices Herbert Parsons has rendered to his
party in the city organization and In con-
gress," wrote the President He Is en-
thusiastic.' untiring. consistent and un-
afraid"
Senator Root ex-senator Depew, District
Attorney Whitman and Otto T. Bannard
were the others who sent regrets. MT.
Whitman's letter. saying that his heah
was so full of vice and crime that he was
unwilling to come to the dinner and tell IL
TO Others" making an especial nit with the
crowd
Henry L. Stimson. after bowing acknow'-
edgements to rousing reception, declared
that 1t didn't look like the "cold gray dawn
OF the morning after" TO him.
"In fact. there seems TO be q good deal
OF life left in the old elephant yet, SAID
Mr. Stlmson. and he added that the Re
publican party needed men OF the Parsons
type now more than ever before.
Lloyd c. Griscom followed Mr.. Stlmson'
and before paying his respects to Mr.. PAR
sons the county chairman referred TO MT
Stimson I'm these words: "Stimson is the
man who would he Governor OF this state
Il the people OF this state had their way to-
day"
Mr.. Griscom gave Mr.. Parsons the credit
for raising the New York County Repuoh-
can organization TO the standard where IL
was mot mere cog in the state machlhe'
directed from outside this county"
Henry W. Taft, John Henry Hammond
and several district leaders eulogized the
guest Of honor and their stories stirred MI
Parsons himself to a reminiscent vein when
he was called upon TO respond.
He reviewed many OF the earlier poliucai
battles he fought in this county and de-
clared that every one of them pointed out
10 him more and more plainly as he went
along that IF you've got the right on your
side and you're organized and you stick 10
Il. you'll win"
The dinner was given 70 Mr.. Parsons oy
his constituents OF the 18Th Congress Dis
trict. but the list OF those present embraced
most Of the prominent Republican leaders

Christ the Light and Life.

It is said that the sweetest side Of
any fruit is the side which grows
toward the sun. There is no doubt
that the sun has a great deal to do
with the beauty and flavor Of the
fruits which are the delight of man.
In this casual observation. as in so
many facts from nature. rests a beau.
tiful spiritual lesson for us all. What
the sun il to the natural world, that,
and much more, Is Christ to the world
of spiritual things. AS the sun innu-
ences the fruits Of the earth, giving
hem beauty and lusciousness, so
Christ sheds an influence over the
lives of many and gives them beauty
Of character and purity of heart.
And as the sweetest side of a fruit is
the side toward the sun, so the best
side Of mar is the side toward Christ

was. sleep vas simply impossible. He
heard heavy feet tramping up and
down the hall; once a drunken man
endeavored vainly to open his door;
not far away there was a %scuffle, and
the sound Of a body falling down stairs.
In some distant apartment a fellow
was struggling to draw of his tight
boots, skipping about on one foot
amid much profanity. That the boot
conquered was evident when the man
crawled into the creaking bed. an.
%nouncing defiantly, "If the landlord
wants them boots off, let him come
an pull 'em Off" Across the hall
was a rattle of chips. and the voices
of several men, occasionally raised in
anger. Now and then they would
stamp on the floor as an order for
liquid refreshments from below. From
somewhere beyond, the %long-drawn
melancholy howl Of a distressed dog
greeted the rising moon.
Out from all this pandemonium
Keith began to unconsciously detect
the sound of voices talking in the
room to his left. In the lull of OBJ
structing sound a few words reached
him through the slight open space be.
