Busy Streets Talking as 1l lie were merely a friend who had dropped in for a short chat and not the president of the United States Mr Taft recently re vealed much of his personal side to the newspaper men of the capital at tin informal reception given him at the National Press club in Washington Prepared for a stroll along Pennsyl vania avenite and several of the other busy thoroughfares of the city which he took after he left the club the president declared he found much pleasure In walking and looking in the shop windows lie said he enjoyed seeing some person give him a Jong look and then look away while the nest person would give a second look then poke his companion in the ribs and In the dignity paid by Americans to high office call out Ilello Taft Speaking of the White House and its duties the president said there was a sense of isolation in life there that nobody just drops in on one in a neighborly way but all the callers come by engagement As to getting tired out with work the president said that the preparation of messages for congress was the in discussing the qualifications for of fice of men recommended or rather the claims they could make as to why they should be appointed was not real work KERMIT THE BETTER SHOT Host Who Entertained Colonel Roose velt In Africa Says So W N McMillan who entertained former President Theodore Roosevelt on his ranch near Nairobi East Africa last June passed through Kansas City Mo recently on his way to New York He had been visiting on the Pacific coast While at my ranch Colonel Roose velt did not read an American news paper or magazine said Mr McMil lan lie continually refused to dis cuss national or international politics although many residents of the neigh borhood questioned him on these sub jects I am here for pleasure was his answer to one and all When I return to the United States I will say what I think about the situation Colonel Roosevelt is a fair shot not an extraordinary marksman con tinued Mr McMillan Kermit is a better shot than his father as Colo nel Roosevelt admits to every one ex cept Kermit He is afraid it would make the young man think too much of himself to tell him so It does not however take any wonderful marks manship to hit an elephant or a rhinoc eros A FISH WITH LEGS Carnegie Explorers Discovery May Be the Piscatory Missing Link A tin box marked Handle With Care arrived at the Carnegie insti tute in Pittsburg the other day con taining a specimen of scaleless aquatic life called popularly a fish with legs found by Dr John Haseman at Ma noas Brazil The specimen received said Dr Holland director of the institute is a scaleless animal which is blind lias a dorsal cartilaginous cord instead of a true skeleton has teeth in a small head mouth on the under side and a protruding jaw and a dorsal skin flap resembling a fin apparently the link between the salamander and a fish The discovery is most important to zoologists Dr Haseman found the specimen at the junction of the Rio Negro and the Amazon recently while on an explor ing trip for the Carnegie institute EAT LOTS OF PUDDING President Tafts Advice to Boy So prano Who Desires to Be Tall Albert Hole the English boy so prano called at the White House the other day to see President Taft al though he owes allegiance to King Ed ward Albert is only about three feet high and one thing which he greatly desires is to be tall He told the president that and got this advice Well Albert you want to eat lots of pudding That will make you tall Albert said he would Monument to E H Harriman A monument to the

lics Unanimously Favored by Our Southern Neighbors Angragate of Their Estimated Loans During Next Twenty Years S65000C030 That a Pan American bank with branches at the capitals of the South and Central American republics and headquarters In New York eny is the safest and most direct way for Amer ican capital to participate in bond dotation is the consensus of official opinion in Washington The supporters of the project in- hardest he was called on to do that u - upunac fi i c i i J f note All declare there is no limit tiiivt Ul 1UUI UUUIO il Uil UL OfCUt to the gilt edged opportunities which the southern continent offers to Amer ican capital and only diplomatic lim its prevent them from stating in so many words that their respective coun tries would rather borrow from the United States than abroad The Hondurau loan of approximate ly -1000000 through John P Morgan last August is the first of the so called Pan American loans to receive official approval from the state department While behind this approval there is the spirit of the new diplomacy which forces finances to the fore Secretary Knox is following his fixed policy of eliminating Europe from Central and South American affairs a policy that is not distasteful to the American re publics if admissions made by well posted officials are a criterion Will Borrow 650000000 A canvass recently made shows that the extent of these financial operations is of large proportions The amount involved is estimated at J30000000 The sums that make it up will be bor rowed progressively during a period of twenty years Semiofficial figures obtained show that the loans will be divided as fol lows Argentina 200000000 Bolivia 33000000 Chile 173000000 Ecuador 50000000 Hon duras 30000000 Panama o0000000 Peru 00000000 Venezuela 20000000 with the remaining 0000000 taken up by the smaller republics in this category Colom bia 3000000 Costa Rica 10000000 Do minican Republic S000000 Guatemala 10030000 Salvador 12000000 and Uru guay 5000000 Panama will probably require more than 30000000 especially when the canal is in full operation owing to in creases in land values and the neces sity of improving the adjacent terri tory on both sides under the republics jurisdiction Officials including the diplomatic representatives of the above named countries do not deny that these loans cannot very well be carried out with out the aid of a Pan American bank whose rate of exchange can equal that of London and Paris It is said also that it will not be one of the obliga tions of the lender if the lender be an American bank to pay in gold as the new bank would have arrangements to honor any other currency at full mar ket value Needed For Panama Canals Success That the United States cannot very well hope to make a commercial suc cess of the Panama canal without such a central international banking institu tion is another admission made by of ficials It is cited that Great Britain has the advantage of branch banks at Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt in order to have every banking facility with which to carry out its enormous traffic through the Suez canal Com pilative statistics based upon the ton nage that goes through the Suez and which will find it more convenient to use the Panama canal and other data furnished by the department of com merce labor and navigation of the Eu ropean governments show that the Panama canal will not have to wait as long as the Suez canal did to reach its highest development It will mean only two years at most to rearrange travel schedules shifting the routes from the Mediterranean to the Panama canal Tolls and other charges besides drafts and general exchange of com mercial paper made necessary at two ports of the importance that Colon and Panama will reach as soon as the canal is in operation make it neces sary diplomats say for a bank of un limited possibilities to be in operation at either of these cities And such a bank could very well be the Pan-American bank operated by the wealthiest banking intcts of the United States as for instance the Moriran svndicate whose branches in the European money centers give them every advan tage in Europe without dislodging their gold reserves at headquarters Owinr to the delicate relations be tween the southern republics and the likelihood that trouble may always arise to sway to a certain extent the credit or financial standing of any of them it is said that the bank would have to be an institution bonded by the American government which would thus be responsible for its ob ligations It would also guarantee the banking syndicate the protection of the United States which isthenueleus of the so called partnership between the state department and financiers in terested in the Pan American bant jiroject A SAVAGE WITCH His Lifo Was Saved by tho Chief of the Quiah Tribe The author or Heroes of Modern Crusades the Rev Edward Cillint M A at one lime inusur of Harrow school says in his book Ilia he had years ago l he privilege of meting the king of the Juiah country Teltl Agu inasong at Harrow The Qtiluli king had been educated at St Augustines college Canterbury and was able to lecture to the Harrovians in good Eng lish In his lecture he told a quaint story which brings one nearer to the weird lives of the Qulahs a small ag ricultural and trading tribe of inof fensive characters on the west coast of Africa In my country said the king we have no prisons therefore if a cul prit is brought to me 1 must chop off something an ear or two a hand or a foot and he goes home a sadder and a wiser man Just before 1 left for England a chief came to my hut bringing a prisoner What has he done friend I asked He is a dangerous witch O king He can turn himself Into an alligator Pooh Nonsense I dont believe that old fashioned stuff Oh but we saw him do it down by the big river Indeed Well chief tell me all about it You saw him yourself I did We were hunting by the banks of the river with our rifles when all at once we saw a big alliga tor lying on a rock in the river The witch man was lying asleep In a ham mock some fifty yards away Oh the dangerous creature he is Well king do not laugh with your eyes like that for I am speaking the truth I put up my rifle to shoot the alligator but to our great fear as soon as I fired this fellow rolled out of his hammock and fell on the ground and rubbed his back and swore he was hurt Now O king if this witch had not been inside the alligator how could he have been hurt when I fired Gentlemen concluded the king I see you are laughing with your eyes but it is very difficult to rule over a people untaught and given over to superstition What did I do Why if I had left him free they would have killed him as soon as I had gone on my ship so I saved his life by chopping off his left ear MODERN CHESS The Game Vastly Different From That of the Ninth Century Chess is but a game a pastime a relaxation but it has at times ab sorbed the faculties of the intellectual in every clime Perhaps the greatest eulogy on the game was the remark of Sir Walter Raleigh I do not wish to live longer than I can play chess It is certain that those who do not lay the game are quite unable to form any conception of the high intel lectual delights experienced by the chess enthusiast The origin of chess has been sought in vain The fact is the game has so changed developed and improved down the course of centuries that in its present form it would not be rec ognized by its inventor if there ever was one The oldest chess problem on record is thought to be that contained in an ancient Persian manuscript at tributed to Caliph Kalifen Mutasin Billah who reigned in Bagdad A D SV to S42 But the reader would have to learn the old rules before it was intelligible For example the queen could make a move of only one square at a time and that on a diagonal but a queen promoted from a pawn was allowed to make a move of two squares diagonally The bishop had no power over any square except the third from which it stood on its own diagonal line but it was allowed to vault over any piece that happened to be between In short it was a totally different game Chess in the precise form in which we know it and play it today is a comparatively modern game London Strand Magazine Amending a Proverb There are a lot of silly proverbs knocking about Take for instance If pigs had wings they would fly Now this is absurd if you like Do you know what sized wings a pig weighing eighty pounds would require in order to fly They would measure about thirty yards from tip to tip A nice state of things to keep pigs in an aviary with wings of that size The proverb would run much better If pigs could fly Pork would be high Loudon Scraps The Right Way Little Willie liked ice cream but he objected to turning the freezer One day his ni rher was agreeably sur prised to tird him working at the crank as if hi life depended on it How did you get Willie to turn the ice cream freezer she said to het husband I offered him 2 cents to d it and he wouldnt You didnt go about it the right way my lear replied her husband I bet him a eent he couldnt turn ii
