Rogers Of New York.

club links. not alone for his skill as

rest and tell story, and one story sug-

much as they do the game. and Mr.. Taft
himself enjoys them as much as anybody.
For those who follow and who must
observe the unwritten rule Of the links.

stories are-welEthey would be more

Canadians as well as Americana, are
frank to say the former President is
"a good Sort and incidentally almost
every one calls him president Taft"
