Taft of Ohio
Administrations Handy Man Who
Is Talkvi of For the Presidency
His Vast Bulk His Tuct and His
Talent For Sitting on the Lid
-
ALK about Secretary William II
T Taft as a presidential candi
date has excited interest in the
personal characteristics of the
famous head of the war department
The secretary is the kind of man peo
ple like to read about whether they
agree with his variety of politics or
not lie Is noted first of all perhaps
for his bigness the weight the pon
derosity of both body and brain that
makes him a good man to sit on the
lid when there Is something under
neath that Is steaming hot and liable
at any minute to cause an explosion
He Is noted for his good nature his
ability to get a laugh out of any situa
tion no matter how serious it may
look to the average eye and his clever
ness in smoothing over things by his
diplomacy and tact when a less gifted
person would only cause riot and rebel
lion Indeed some say that if one let
ter in Ids name were changed and he
were called Secretary Tact instead of
Secretary Taft the alteration would be
an appropriate one Another of his
qualities is his readiness if not actual
eagerness to tackle a difficult situa
tion It was popular awhile ago when
any hard proposition presented itself
to say Take it down to Washington
and put it up to Teddy Secretary
Taft has in the past few years had so
many complicated tasks put up to him
for settlement that he has earned a
reputation almost rivaling Mr Roose
velts as u national and even inter
national arbitrator
The question has been raised In fact
whether Mr Taft ought not to be call
ed secretary of peace rather than sec
retary of war since his pacific errands
form so prominent a part of his du
ties When he was a student at Yale
and known as Bill he was a great
wrestler but no brawler and he often
disarmed opposition by his boyish way
of breaking out into laughter at a crit
ical moment and putting his arm
around the shoulders of some college
mate a half hug and half slap and it
is in the same way that in later years
he has won over fierce chieftains of
divers races and calmed antagonism in
many an American politicians breast
M
mi- - A
SECRETART TAFTS INFECTIOUS SMILE
He has been to Panama so many times
that most people have lost track of
the count On his return from his last
journey thither which included stops
on the way homeward at Torto Rico
and Cuba Washingtonians got scarce
ly a glimpse of his portly figure before
he was off again on a flying trip to
Ohio to make two or three speeches on
subjects not having much to do with
politics and to exchange a word or two
with the relatives and friends who are
grooming him for the presidency With
the advent of the commencement sea
son he will pack his grip and start for
Minnesota and Iowa to advise colle
gians who are about to take up the
serious business of life and a few
weeks later he will be off for the Phil
ippines again to help inaugurate an
sra of self government for the islands
In whose welfare he has such interest
When he was governor general of the
Philippines Judge Taft was so enthu
siastically devoted to his duties that he
refused to leave his post until certain
important tasks were completed even
though in so doing he lost the oppor
tunity of going on the supreme bench
where it has been said he would rath
er he than even in the presidential
chair Yet when he accepted the post
of chairman of the Philippine commis
sion he did so with great reluctance
It is related that when President Mc
Kinley summoned him to the Whi te
House and offered him the place he
said
I cant be of any use I didnt want
you to take the Philippines It was a
mistake
The troubled gray eyes of the presi
dent regarded the bluff giant intently
and then smiled as only the McKinley
eyes could smile
Nor did I want to take the Philip
pines he answered with great ear
nestness I had to There was noth
ing else to do We must build a new
nation out there I want you to help
us
And help he did

rise to influence in tfiis concern and in
the great stool making industry was
rapid and he succeeded Charles M
Schwab as president of the Carnegie
Steel company In 100o he stepped
into Schwabs shoes again as head of
the United States Steel corporation It
was in 1103 that Mr Corey sat in a
box in a Pittsburg theater and heard
Miss Gilman -sing in The Mocking
Bird That was the first time he saw
her and from that time on his atten

finally led to an estrangement between
him and his first wife who was Miss
Laura Cook She filed a petition for
divorce in June 190J and obtained a
decree at Iteno New in July of the

to have settled 2000000 on her and

Tho Dressmakers Diploma
Many New York women who patron
ize a new dressmaker for the first
time propound an embarrassing ques
tion
Have you a diploma they ask
I didnt know what answer to make
to trie first customer that put that
question to me said one dressmaker
I certainly did not have a diploma
I knew how to sew but I had no cer
tificate to that effect Finally I found
that many women have suffered so
grievously at the hands of incompe
tents that they were unwilling to trust
their work to a person who could not
show some guarantee of experience
and efficiency so although I knew
more about sewing than half the fash
ionable dressmakers In town I actual
ly worked in one such establishment
for four months so that I could point
to a printed diploma which says For
merly with Mine A of Fifth avenue
It pays any dressmaker to arm herself
with credentials of that kind She
ought to have her diploma framed and
hung on the wall like a doctors diplo
ma so as to give confidence to doubt
ing customers New York Sun

Maurice Barrymore the once famous
actor was once in London Avith a new
piece which lie was anxious to have
produced He had read it to a man
ager and it had been decided that he
was to play the leading role About a
week after it was supposed to have
been definitely settled Barrymore re
ceived a note from the manager ask
ing him to call Barrymore called and
the manager said I like the piece
old fellow but I dont see how I can
u -e you in tho cast Your beastly
Anierican dialect wont do at all you
know They wont have it
Well thats strange said Barry
more They told me on the other
side that they wouldnt have me on
a count of my beastly English dialect
What am I to do give recitations on
the transatlantic steamers
No Insult Intended
i A London exquisite had gone into a

Do you call that a veal cutlet he
lemauded of the waiter Why such
a cutlet as that is an insult to every

The waiter hung his head for a mo
onlit but recovered himself and said
n a tone of respectful apology
I really didnt intend to insult you
