THE OMATTA SUNDAY BEE: .TTLY 21. 1007 Secretary Taft in His Summer Home l.'EBF.C, P. Q , July 1.

The hills elonasirtn the. Pt. Lawrence are both stv p and many. nd the Murray Hay golf links are laid ut among these hill. For the rest, the secretary of war, thounh a 8"0-poun1er, follow his r'y as aggressively as a Hoosevelt with a tennis racquet.

He conies up early to the club house, a lance man In a nl.ilii Kruy online suit, with T picked up the Washington Tost, and there, In black and white, I read the as tonishing Information that I had knock"'! a home run, hnd galloped madly around the tia.es, and had been presented as I crossed the plata with a guess what! a cor ktbll." The juilne paused a moment and wiped his forehead thoughtfully. "Henutlful lmnKlnatlon." he murmured. Then he thanked the white ball for a clean ilrlve of io yards and strode away from the men with the pencils and note books. A camera clicked viciously at his retreat ing fiKur. ' It was evidently up to the reporters to a-et even. When Harlan nnd Taft. a lit tle later, were walking side by side, one of the crowd of followers beaun casually: "JudRc, to what do you attribute your at urn y. healthy old age?" "Here's where wm get a testimonial for a patent medicine," whispered someine. Hut Just then Mr. Taft, with his well known chuckle, raid: "Judge, tell them It la due to pood old Kentucky limestones and to all the things the soil produces." "Vis." answered Harlan, pravely, "and It doesn't pass thrnunh a t'lnclnnatl recti fying stHblishment, either.'1 Later, how ever, as If In denial of all these Imputa tions, tho venerable Judge stopped at a spring, dipped up a big tin cupful of water and drank it off. saying: "Gentlemen, here la the best spring water In the world and you'd better try It oft nev." Wherewith tho talk drifted from water to war. The Inevitable question was axked, "What bout Japan?" At this Juncture Taft was . Ui striding up the little road nt his regular .gait tha gait which makes his little caddy cut across lots In order to keen tin with i him- and his Inexpressive back was toward ! vi tilt- questioner. Harlan started to answer, when one of the newspaper men Interrupted with: "We know what you think, Judge." "You do?" answered the Justice In sur prise. "Well, don't you dare to tell It." Thin veryono turned to Taft. The broad back of the secretary, how ever, continued on up the road, mute, stolid, significant. It was the most uncommunica tive of banks. Something official and re served suddenly appeared In the outing flannels. That was all. The question was dismissed, because of lack of Interest, and what the secretary of war thought about the Japanese question never came out. Tho end of the game was now In sight, with Judge Harlan slightly ahead. But he felt by no means sanguine of victory. "You never con tell," he announced, with mock solemnity, "abcut these martial, war like poraonages. They have a grim, dogged aggressiveness that wins things on the homo stretch." 1 here were four more holes to play. In less than half an hour the Justice's words were appreciated. Mr. Taft had won the game in the home stretch, and the two lawyers parted company with hearty hand shakes nnd a vow to meet again earlv and In r rr mm it i fed V-.t-li ,.A,..L-..l-"..'! y'ViVtiWi'i This Clearing Sale Affords ave' One-Third an Opportunity to to One-Half BBKBBS2DB&KDE VERY article in this great store is cut in price at least onethird some of the stock is reduced as much as onchalf.

He starts In laughing often before the secretary should leave and chatting at the very outset, and Keeps August on his trip around the world. It up all through his Jaunt from hole to Later that day, still buoyant and eager, hole. Oood humor Is the Taft keynote Mr Taft wpnt , , wllh Frenchman good humor and youth. The first lmpres slon which this massive Judge and diplomat gives one Is that of a big, hejirty, Jovial . boy. His voice rings out In a merry laugh or In a clear, strong boyish conversational tone. He leaps and Jumps with agility. The eyes look with a fresh, steady gale at life about him, nnd aro full of the healthy American spirit of play. The rec. ord of the man la a record of good luck, so political critics say, but after one glance at the man, the reason of It Is not far to seek. Broadmlndness, fearlessness, opti mism seem to sit easily and naturally upon the burly figure. He takes his golf as he takes his mission In the world, good hu moredly, yet with wisdom and aggressive ness. Recently Justice Harlan of the supreme court rlayed a morning with Secretary Taft upon the Canadian links. Harlan, three score and fifteen, bald, rusty and rugged as an F.ngllsh squire, clad In a fearful scarlet coat, golf cap and heavy shoes of the sort known as "hrogans" and the story of that one game Is the story of Taft at piny. "What do you think of the possible war with Japan?" and "How about your run ning for president?" were the questions many would hnve liked to ask the secre tary, as he and Justice Harlan played. In stead, the weighty things which came up for discussion and for severe criticism were such affairs as trout fishing, news paper reporters, base ball, human avoirdu pois, and the like. One the talk turned on Vice TresMent Fairbanks, and bis recent rescue of a drowning girl nt the Yellowstone National park. The newspaper men. eager to get an opinion out of the secretary, asked. "What do you think of Mr. Fairbanks' heroism?" It was fine." sMd Mr. Taft. Th"n be added, with a chuckle, "Hut I don't think he could have gone In over bis head, you know. The newspapers said the water was only thirty feet deep " There was a laugh all around at this novel view of the elon gated Indianlan. It was a case of Joke, hit the ball, a long tramp and chnt with Judge Harlan: then Joke again. Once, when Harlan ab sentmindedly. took another player's hall lying In a good position, the secretary, pointing out that Harlan's own ball was in a mud puddle, remarked: "The ludge. you see, knows how to take a good lie." In a few moments the Justice got hack at him. This time Harlan's ball lay right alongside the ninth hole and refused to drop In. The old supremo court bencher Jumped up and down on the turf near by and prayed aloud for an earthquake to come along. Then, of a sudden, he stopped, turned and roared to the secretary: "Taft, you Jump! That'll he better than any seismic disturbance." The retorts and the golf score were nip and tuck after that, and the old Ken tucklan in his red coat, and the middle aged Mars In outing flannels, kept the little crowd in cheerful mood for upwards of three hours. "Now. look here," Harlan announced on one occasion, "I think Taft and I had bet ter turn the tables on you fellows; It Is to be a case of the Interviewers Interviewed now." He shook his finger with a solemn. Judicial air, and said: "What is that pe culiarity cf the newspaper reporter's brain which makes him all Imagination and not a bit of fact? Eh? I want to tell you a story. In Washington once, a hunch of leral lights got together Taft was there and had oce of those amateur base ball as his companion, and whipped the streams In the locality for trout. He returned after a hard day's exercise with his ever-happy laugh. "Ah," he said, shaking his great frame playfully, "that Is the only way to live."

"Er the squadron under my com mand," pointing to the old Frenchman, "caught twelve fish." Then he went Into his house for dinner, waiving a goodbye from the front porch.

Then the cooking will be done by electricity and the laundry work will bo accomplished by the same agent.

The houses will be heated by electricity Instead of the bother some, dusty furnace and the home will ho cleaner, healthier and more comfortable. Wireless Telephony. A. E. Kennelly, professor of electrical en gineering at Harvard university, say. that wlreles. telephony has been making steady progres. of late, although Its achievement, are still far behind those of wireless teleg raphy. The range of practicable wlrless telephony Is as' yet only ten miles or so, whereas messages sre received at distances of hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles by wireless telegraphy. A salient rea son for the present short range of wireless telephony Is the feebleness of the electric currents used In telephonic conversation over wire. a. compared with those that are capable of being used in telegraphing, either with rr without wires. Telephonic conversation ha. never yet been success fully carried to a distance of luO mile of submarine cable under the ocean. The lim iting telephonic range over such esbles ha. been about sixty miles. Consequently wire At H omeor Cafe games Pase ball or high ball?" asked a re porter. "High hall." spoke up Taft, with a tmln kle In his eye, as he glanced at the Judge from Kentucky, "would have been too ordi nary a proceeding. This, evidently, Is some thing out of the usual run." Harlan paid no attention to the Interrup tion, but continued. "I was called upon to tory of laa and Ike San. In the July American Magazine Walt Whitman is reported as having once told the following story of Charles A. Dana: "Years ago, one day. I met Dana, Charles A.
