President 1aft's joke.

President Taft likes joke and
loves to be liked. When he drops
work for play he is as boyish about it
as when in college. Neither does the
president appear to be oversensitive
about his weight, which is rather more
than that of most men.
He had gone to the Chevy Chase
club outside Washington, for an after
noon game Of golf recently, and came
swinging out of the clubhouse in golf
togs, which, If anything, add to his
STATURE. Passing the tennis courts he
saw Washington friend who is heavy
enough to have been taken for the
president at a distance before now.
The president stopped and smiled
broadly at the efforts of the stout one
to reduce.
Hello, Walker" he said, as the
game slackened, FAR be it from me to
suggest that you need that exercise,
old man."

How Grover Cleveland Quietly Made
sure Of tho Action Of the Conven-
ton Of 1892, Despite New
Works Support Of Hill.

Shortly after the New York Demo.
cratic state convention of 1892 had
named David B. Hill as the candidate
OF the Democracy of New York for
president, and had instructed the dele
gates to vote as unit for Governor
Hills nomination at the impending ma
tlonal convention of the party, Will
liam R. Grace, at that time a close
friend OF Grover Cleveland, called upon
the latter at the Victoria hotel in New
YORK city. The former mayor of New
York was much disturbed over the
action of the New York convention.
In common with many other politi-
clans, he felt that it would be impos-
sible to nominate Cleveland with the
delegation from his own state op-
posed to the nomination.
Mr.. Grace was with the ex-president
possibly 20 minutes. AS we were
walking across Madison square imme-
d1ately after the interview, he said: II
don't understand Cleveland at all. He
doesn't appear to be cast down in the
slightest by the action Of the New
YORK state convention. I said to him
that l believed it was the precedent
that a candidate for presidential nom.
lntaion must have the support of the
delegation from his own state. or else
he could not be nominated.
Mr. Grace he said in reply. 7 can
be nominated for president without
the vote Of the New York state delega-
ton, and shall be nominated without
that vote l don't understand it. l
don't believe he can be nominated with
the state delegation against him."
1t became widely known that the ex-
president paid little heed to the &C.
ton Of the New York state convention,
and there was wide circulation of the
remark he had made to Mr.. Grace to
the effect that he could be nominated
without the vote of the New York del
egation. But Mr. Cleveland was not
talking at random, and it Is now DOS
sible to tell for the first time what his
reasons were for feeling confident that
he would be nominated even though

secret canvass, Mr.. Cleveland looked
with sort of desultory interest upon
the pre-convention efforts of William
c. Whitney at Chicago to Offset the
support by the New York delegation of
David B. Hill for the presidential NOM
nation. He (Cleveland) had dele.
gates sufficient to nominate himself in
the hollow of his hand, so to speak.
It did not disturb aim that Mr.. Whit
ney was gaining lot of prestige
through the popular impression that he
was lining up the convention for Cleve-
land as against Hill.
A day or two before the convention
was organized Mr.. Parker was asked
if he would give poll of the votes that
Mr.. Cleveland would receive in the
convention. He took list of the dele.
gates, and as the names were read of,
he indicated those who would vote for
Cleveland He knew who they we're,
and Mr.. Cleveland knew, by reason of
the inner and secret campaign which
they had instituted and SO skillfully
conducted. The total number of dele.
gates that Mr.. Parker said would vote
for Cleveland was us. Mr.. Cleveland
actually received upon the first bal.
lot 716k votes.
The entire expense of this little his.
tory-making campaign was $135, of
which Mr.. Cleveland contributed 1925

Microbes and Cats.

A Chicago man is organizing to kill
off the cats. He is a doctor. and he
gives as reason for his murderous
intent that the cats whiskers are the
roosting place Of numerous unsightly
and terrifying microbes, ready to
pounce upon their victim at the first
chance. In order to expedite the mas
sacre Of the felines the doctor has in
vented sort of gibbet trap, which is
said to terminate the cat in the most
painless manner. The doctor is now
being assailed on every side, espe-
cially by the women, who have taken
the cat tribe to heart.
We do not expect this mans mi
crobe scare will result in the death of
single cat. People are getting tired
Ut microbe scares. There are too
many of them. If they run from all
the microbes that are discovered they
will keep on the run. A person should
know how to live-how to keep clean,
pure, temperate, brave, hopeful, and
then snap his fingers at the microbes
especially those on the cats whis-
kers.

casts his ballot by mail, or, under an
other law, he may declare his eligible

is not entirely so, for the New Zea-
landers have had a somewhat similar
provision for some years and it EVIL
IDENTIFY has worked so satisfactorily
as to commend it to their neighbors.
The Australian feature of balloting
transmitted to us was the secrecy and
official character of the ballot rather
than its arrangement.
