These Clothes Look New
as Long as they Last
A suit that will look smart and hold
shape until its worn out is worth 100
per cent more than one that looks shabby

wears off Isnt that so

The President The Trip
CAPTAIN HUTT
Yes this is
course and Ive
wnuv
rk yy tions chief
enters the Y hue
House shortly and
throws liis golf bag
in a cornet- sink
in an easy chair
ami calls for hii
most comfortable
slippers one can im
agine him giving1 a
deep sigh of content
and declaring
a great country of
had the time of my
life but if anybody mentions tour to
me within the next twenty live years
therell be trouble Home sweet home
for mine
For by that time President Taft it
must he remembered will have fiu
ished the longest trip ever undertaken
by a chief executive beating even
Roosevelts record for a journey of
this kind Starting from Boston on
Sept 14 after a speech in the Hub
he has gone through the west and
south making speeches attending
banquets taking in the sights play
ing golf and doing enough train riding
to make him ever afterward scowl
when he hears the whistle of a loco
motive The average man thinks he
has been going some when he journeys
from New York to San Francisco but
Mr Taft will have covered over 13000
miles when he finishes his tour It
has been an intensely interesting and
in many ways a thoroughly enjoyable
trip Just why he made it he told as
follows on the eve of his departure
Occasionally I hear a query why I
should start off on such a trip and
What particular good does it do to
anybody Well it will certainly give
me a very much more accurate im
pression as to the views of the peo
ple in the sections which I visit It
will bring closely to me the needs of
particular sections so far as national
legislation and executive action are
concerned and I believe it will make
me a wiser man and a better public
officer
After leaving Boston President Taft
spoke in Chicago on Sept 1C struck
into Minnesota the following day
where in Minneapolis he met the
members of the Japanese commercial
mission to the United States and after
other stops in other states rhe -1st
of the mouth found him crossing the
continental divide traveling all that
day with the panorama of the white
capped peaks of the Hockies in view
One of the great events of this trip to
Colorado was the opening of the Gun
nison tunnel by the president on Sept
23 On the following day he was in
Utah where he added a Mormon tem
ple to the long list of religious edifices
in which he has made addresses
A few days later the president was
in Montana where he had some novel
and exciting experiences Montanas
great mining camp Butte received
THE PRESIDENT SHAKING HANDS FROM
HIS PRIVATE CAR
him with open arms and dropped him
underground 1200 feet into the depths
of the richest copper hill in the world
It was the famous Leonard copper
mine shaft that the president descend
ed and he came to the light of day
half an hour later with this exclama
tion on his lips I would not have
missed it for the world
The cage which carried the presideir
and his party down into the mountain
consisted of three compartments one
above the other Each compartment
held about six persons The presiden
and his companions occupied the 1
compartment Other members of the
Taft party including newspaper cor
respondents were in the lower com
partments
At every stop on his journey through
the country Mr Taft received Uatteriny
demonstrations from the people and
in every town and city through which
he passed he has been royally wel
comed and cheered to the echo The
schools have been much interested in
the tour of the nations chief execu
tive and he has beeu delighted with
their novel plans to entertain him At
Portland Ore a gathering of 21000
school children on the picturesque ath
letic field of the Mulnomah club af
forded a spectacle that he will never
forget In a grand stand on the field
4000 boys and girls dressed in red
white and blue rose tier upon tier and
200 pretty girls dressed In white spell
ed Taft In living letters As the
president was addressing the children
a little girl witr a bouquet of roses si
big that they dragged on the ground
climbed the platform steps and hand
ing the tlowcrs to him said
The 21000 public school children
of Portland present these roses to you
They were grown out of doors and
Portland is the rose city We are
proud of our roses proud of our city
and proud of our president
After many novel entertainments in
other towns and cities the end of the
mouth found Mr Taft in Seattle
where he was much impressed with
the wonderful
exposition in the Alaska building lie
was invited into a cage where more
than a million dollars worth ol gtld
is exhibited and here he washed out
a pan of the yellow metal worth J51 UU
Mr Taft remarked that he would go
into mining if he could keep up that
rate He was delighted with the many
marvelous exhibits and said he wished
he could spend several weeks there
The president reached San Francisco
on Oct 5 and rode through the city
with people ten teet deep lining the
sidewalks A pathetic incident mark
ed his stay in Berkeley lie passed in

PRESIDENT TAFT ALIGHTING FItOM TRAIN
AT SALT LAKE CITY
review of the pupils ot an institution
for the deal dumb and blind The
tribute of hags waved with unseeing
eyes ot silent nods ot the dumb ami
cheers from the blind deeply impress
ed the president
With his speeebmaking over for a
time Mr Talt settled down to sight
seeing and Oct 7 found him bumping
along in a Yosemite valley stage tor
two days freedom from formality
lie was deeply impressed with tlie big
trees and other scenic wonders and
the beauties of the iosemite were ex
plained to him by Professor Muir the
noted naturalist
Arriving in the hospitable flower
laud ot southern California on Oct 11
Mr Taft received enthusiastic greet
ings everywhere Then came New
Mexico where after a day in Albu
querque where he witnessed an In
dian war dance he left on Oct 15 for
El Paso Tex to exchange greetings
with President Diaz The eiemonies
were attended with much military dis
play and the meeting was the most
formal of all the affairs that President
Taft had participated in on his jour
uey There was a striking contrast
between the two presidents and the
manner in which they approached the
meeting President Taft reluctantly
laid aside the sack coat in which he
had been getting dose to the people
of the southwest in platform speeches
and donned for the day a silk hat and
frock coat
After having received President Diaz
on American soil President Taft cross
ed the international border and return
ed the call at the custom house in the
quaint little city of Ciudad Juarez
After several other stops the nations
chief executive reached his brothers
ranch near Gregory Tex where he
spent several days and thoroughly en
joyed himself ITere he had an oppor
tunity to play golf to his hearts con
tent hunt and fish and many novel en
tertainments were arranged Then
came the trip to St Louis where a
steamer was taken down the Missis
sippi to attend the deep waterway
meeting in New Orleans
On this voyage down the river a trip
by water of nearly 1200 miles the
president was accompanied by the
speaker of the house Joseph J Can
non cabinet members senators and
representatives and thirty governors of
states The trip was arranged by the
Waterways association to call attention
of the government to the commercial
necessity and possibilities of deepening
the Mississippi In his speech in St
Louis just befoin
- as3
the voyage bega 1
the president found
a quick response
from his audienc
when he began
saying
We are on the
eve of a great jou
ney upon the Mis
sissippi river and
cursed be he v
calls it a junket
After his speed
in New Orleans
President Taft pr
a close the longest
swing around the circle ever made
by a president of the United States
He has been accompanied on his long
journey by Captain Archibald Butt
his military aid and Dr J J Rich

We know positive v dint comets at

on account of the material comprising

ner than the lightest tilmy haze of

eobv lor we know the comets are not
massive they are almost entirely with
out weight And this we know with
certainty because their arrival pro
duces no perturbations of motion
among the planets ol the solar system
while the inexorable laws of median
inil science tell us that a massive
comet must surely disturb the usual
orderly planetary orbits A comet
miuht indeed strike die earth though
such a collision is most improbable
But even il it should ever occur tin
visible ellects would probably be no
greater than those produced occasion
ally by meteorites or falling stars
The other possible danger troni the
comet the chance of suffocation troui
gase 111 the tail is also uegadved b
actual observation for it is almost cer
tain that our earth did once pass
through a comets tail and no one no
ticed it at the time Only the subse
qiietit calculations of astronomer
brought out the fact that the cometary
orbit and that of the earth really had
a common point of intersection and
that both bodies occupied that point at

Doubtful Praise
A fullback in a football team once
had the misfortune to put the ball
through his own god This regretta
ble error lost his side the game and
he suffered agonies of self reproach
on the long journey home

who had traveled many miles to see
him play A slip of a boy from school
would have shaped better than I did

London Cellar Restaurants
Before coffee stalls were instituted
the humblcM places of refreshment
were cellars where the hard up as
the slang phrase went could dive for
a dinner with a choice of such viands
as tripe cow heel sausages and shin
of beef soup Some of the cellar res
taurants existed as recently as the ear
ly savouries of the last century in
BiiHhii nw Temple Bar and the net
work ut courts and alleys swept away
for the site of the rojal courts of jus
tice It was in this neighborhood
and probably to a dining place of this
decription that Dr Johnson resorted
in his struggling days when he was
so poor that as he relates it was not
ever3r day that he could afford a half

Wells In India
The question ot wells in India is
complicated by the coexistence in each
community of two castes the purer
Hindoos and donds on the one hand
the weavers on the other No weaver
may draw from the well of the Lliu
doos lest it be deliled nor will the
Hindoo drink from the hands or the
well of a weaver Thus it becomes nec
essary either to dig two wells or to
depute a certain number of the Hindoo
element to give water to their less ex
ulted fellow villagers
