ular troops station J there and a brief
reception at the officer' club. As th
president' party entered the military res
ervation the chief executive was met by

United States on th field of a big blue
tar, surrounded In turn by forty-six small
white star, waa borne by trooper at

Leaving Fort Snelllng the party crossed
the river Into the outskirts of the city of
St. Paul and after a brief stop at the town
and country club, motored direct Into the
city, where the president was entertained
at a luncheon served on the vast stage of
the t. Paul auditorium. When the lunch
eon had been concluded, the temporary
partitions separating the stag from th
main body of th auditorium were lifted
and th president faced an audience which
filled floor And galleries to thsir utmost
rapacity.
As th crowd had assembled during th
luncheon each person hud been presented
with a small American flag, and when the
president turned from hi seat at ttu
guests' table he looked Into a fluttering sea
of waving colors.
After brief speech, th president was
driven to the state capttol, wher It had
been Intended that public reception ahould
be held. This feature was called off on
account of Governor Johnson' Illness, and
th president appeared for a few mlnutej

JOIINSOIf IIAI WORD OF WELCOMK
Minnesota. Governor Dictate It on
His Sick Bed.
ROCHESTER, Minn., Sept. . Tn spite
of his Buffering, Governor Johnson today
did not forget the courtesies due the chief
executive of the nation, now In Minnesota.
The governor this morning dictated a tele
gram of welcome to President Taft, to be
delivered by Ell S. Warner, as follow:
"Hearty and sincere welcome to the state
of Minnesota. Greatly regret my Illness

President Taft replied to Governor John

"I am greatly distressed to hear of your
serious Illness. Imlua your smiling and
courteous personal greeting, which I have

heretofore, and I thank you from the bot
tom of my heart for your message of wel
come, sent when you are oil a bed of
pain.
"I fervently hope nd pray that your
wonderful strength and fortitude will make
your recovery speedy.
"My1 compliments and respect to Mr
Johnson, whose visit to Washington I re
member with much pleasure."
OFF IN HIS PRONUNCIATION
Troubles of n Mnn with Loads of
Money, but a Little Shy en
' Education.
"I am still having no end of trouble with
in- pronunciation," said the rugged man
"ho has accumulated a big fortune with
out having .much improved his education.
"That Is, I ain't having any trouble with
It myself, but I'm making a lot of trouble
for other people.
'As far as I'm concerned I don't mind
much how I pronounce my words as long
as I'm understood. But It does make an
awful difference to my children, especially
my oldest daughter. 'Why, father,' she
says, 'what do you suppose people will
think of us with you pronouncing words as
you doT
"You see, since th children were old
enough to know anything we've always
had plenty of money, and so they've had
all the what you call advantages, and they
know how to pronounce and all that, ami
they can hold their end up with the best ot
them. Now, you know, the children's
mother and I have been married for quite
some time, and I don't want to butt my
family affairs in onto your notice, but 1
don't mind saying to you that I think
mother la the greatest and nobleat and
finest woman that ever lived, and you
might not think It of a tough old chap like
me, but I like to call her pretty name.
''Her name I mlarht as well tell you, be
cause I've got to tell you, to understand
what I'm going to say, is Mary; but 1
like sometime to call her something else.
Sometimes I call her Lucy, I rather liked
Lucy; and Instead of calling her Mary I've
called her sometimes Lucy for weeks at a
time, with her smiling at me kind o' dubi
ous as If I was making a fool of myself,
but saylr.g nothing. And Agnes; I always
sort of lllard Agnes, and once I called her
Agnes for she weeks. And then another
name I always did like was Pauline, and
one for about four months I didn't call
her anything but Pauline, and I've called
her by a let of names like that, just as
they happened to strike my fancy,
"Foolish this may seem to you, Just as
It always did to her, but I never saw any
harm in It; I like to give her these pretty
name just a I Ilk to give her pretty
clothes. I like to have everything about
her pretty; I'd give my hat and all I've
got to make her happy. I don't know what
I'd done or wher I'd got without her, and
aha' alt th world to me, and I love to
give her all the pretty things I can; but 1
guess I can't give her any more pretty
name.
"Lsi week I ran across the name of
Beatrice. That's a pretty name, .don't
you think? Htatrice? And I started right
away calling the lady Beatrice, but thit
rime I ran up against my oldest daughter.
"Of course I pronounced Beatrice, Bee-a-frls;
what other way could there be'.'
I r.ever heard any other, but the first
lime 1 said It my oldest daughter hap
pened to be around and
" 'Bee-a-triw?' she said. 'Why father,
what do you mean by saying dreadful
things like tl.alT"
" 'Dreadful? I says. Why. what's the
mttter with Beatrice? lhn t Beatrice a
pretty nam?'
" 'Why, father,' ay my oldest daugh
ter, 'you mustn't say things like Hist; yoJ
mustn't say Bce-a-trts, It's Day-ah-lret-
chay !'
" 'Whatr I says, 'Bay-ah-chee-tra,y r
" 'No, no, no!" says daughter, 'not Bay-
ah-chee-try. It's Bay-ah-tree-chsy !'
'And I tried it again und got It Ray-h-
chse-tree, and llay-ah-tree-chee, and Buy-
ah-tro-key, and various other thing), and
finally I got t Bay-oh-tree-chay.
'Now, that's right,' says daughter, 'It's
Bay-ah-tree-chy. Kever y Bee-a-
Uiss."
'I said It again and got tt right again
this tlm, Bay-ah-Uee-chay; and a I said

fancy my going up to her and saying;

on and trying to say something sensible
or loving after that.
"Why, of course, it wouldn't do, and we
both knew that, and so, do you know,
I've rut out the fancy names all together?
Dropped 'em entirely, and I think she's
rather pleased with that. She always
liiughed at me for It. but I am Inclined to
think that deep down In her heart she
never really fancied my calling her by,
any name but her own.;

about pronunciation."
FIRST MEN UPM0UNT EREBUS
Antarctic Explorer Found n Crater on
.Top and a Nine Hundred
Foot Hole.
The Inaccessible antarctic volcano. Mount
Krebus, was first climbed by member of
the party of Lieutenant Shackleton, who
writes in McTlure's Magazine: "When we
had settled down In the hut, he began to
turn speculative eyes toward Mount Ere
bus. The ascent of the mountain had been
regarded a Very difficult, if not Im
possible; but there was no doubt that If
It could be climbed, the scientific results
would be most valuable, and we decided
that the' attempt should be made.
"I selected Prof. David, Mawson and
Mackay to try the ascent of the summit.
They were to be provisioned for ten days,
and a supporting party, consisting ot
Adams, Marshall end Brocklehurst, was to
assist the main party as far as possible.
Eventually the whole six reached the top
of the mountain. 'When they reached the
crater edge the first men to reach the
summit of Erebus they found themselves
standing on the Hp of a vast abyss filled
with a rising cloud of steam.
"After a continuous loud hissing sound,
lasting for some minutes, there would
come from below a big,' dull boom, and
Immediately great globular masses of steam
would rush upward to swell the volum
of the cloud which swayed over the crater.
The air was i filled, with the fumes of
burning sulphur. Presently a light breexe
fanned away the steam cloud, and at once
the ciater stood revealed in all its vast
extent and depth. It was between 800 and
900 feet deep, with a maximum width of
ha'.f a mile, and at the bottom could be
seen thre well-like openings, from which
th steam proceeded. On the wall of the
crater opposite to the party, beds of dark
pumice alternated with white patches of
snow, and In one place the existence of
scores of steam Jets suggested that the
snow was lying on hot rock.
"The party ascertained the height of the
mountain to be feet, and found that
the moraines left by some glgnntlo an
cestor of the Great Ice Harrier ascend the
western slopes of the mountain to a height
of fully 1.000 feet above sea level. As
the adjacent sea Is at least $00 fathoms
deep, the ice-sheet, when at Its maximum
development, must have had a thickness
of not less than I W0 feet."
AIRSHIPS OF CENTURIES AGO
Herord of Monks Who Were High
Flyer' Two Hundred
.Years A no. (
It Is interesting to not that according
to th account furnished by the Milan
correspondent of the London Dally Te'
graph. the first . alleged flight across the
channel waa also accomplished by an
Italian moqk. This was said to have
been done In Vol But In the British
museum Is to be seen a drawing and
description of an airship, the Invention
of a Hraxilian, and ulso a monk, named
Bartholomeo Liurenco de Ouesmao, wno
is raid to have exhibited the capabilities
of his contrivance before the king of
Portugal st Lisbon In 1708 The account
appears In the Kvening Post of December
20-22. 1709, which was published bt-wt-ekly
for some years. The descrlptlcn states
that It was "a 'flying ship' lately Invented,
In which on may travel 200 miles in twen
"l j -four hours carry orders to generals In
remote countries, as also letters recruits,
provisions, ammunition and money; supply
besetted places with all necessaries, and
transport merchandise throrgh the air."
It Is somewhat singular that the three
earliest recorded attempts to fly should
be made by monks. The Brazilian was,

mathematics at the University of Colm

to perfect his Invention.
A print describing his airship shows It
to have been of weird and complicated
construction, with strange mathematical
Instruments aboard, while the navigator
is shown seated in the center of a boat
shaped hull peering through a large tele
scope. The Portuguese flag flies from the
stern, which ha a rudder-shaped attach

and at the prow 1s a bird's head, while
an oval canopy, presumably the plane. Is

address to the king the Inventor says,
"The Portuguese have d.'overed un
known countries bordering upon the ex

to their greater glory to be authors of so
admirable a machine which so many na

OLD GRIMES. WHO'S DEAD
Tales Tbey Tell at Templeton, Mass.,
ot the Hero of a Popu
lar Sons.
Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more.
He used to wear a long. Kiay coat
All buttoned down before.
Old Grimes he had a good old hen,
A good old hen waa she.
She used to lay two egg a day.
And Sunday she laid three.
The squirrel's a very pretty bird,
And wears a bushy tall.
He used to steal Old Grimes' corn
And eat it on a rail.
Old Grimes he had a little dog,
A little ring was he.
He used to h'lst up one hind, log.
And hop along on three.
Old Grimes' wife made butter and cheese;
Old Grimes he drank the whey.
There came n east w-tud from the west
And blew Old Grimes away.
So the old song goes, with a legion more
of verses, and will be kept on going years
longer. Although Old Grimes has been
dead ttwse seventy-five years and more
his memory Is still with the old folks
at TemP'e,on- Mass., handed down by
their fathers, to whom he was a living
nalltv of Jovial oomradehlp and waggish
wit. They will point out hills, roads,
house sites, landmarks famous for some
doughty deed, some practical Joke, played
by Old Grimes.
"This very road, th old State road,"
they will tell you, "leads to Hubbardstnn,
where, three miles up a piece, Old Grimes
was born. "Twas along this road he led
the old dominie such a pace years ago.
"You see. he'd made a bet with some
of the boys at the tavern that he'd make
the domlnl ride behind him on the
pillion before breakfast Sunday morn
ing wearing his, Old Grimes', hat and
coat and drink half a mug o' toddy with
him at tho tavern. Pure enough, he
rapped up the dominie early one Sunday
morning and told him to come quick to
the bedside of hla dying mother. 'Her,'
says he, 'don't wait for your hat and
coat. Take mine, and climb right up
behind me." They rode along together
till they came to the tavern, where Old
Grimes stopped. 'Come,' he says, 'It's
been a pretty cold ride. Let's have a
mug o' toddy to warm us up a bit.' The
Comlnie (you know all folks drank toddy
In them days), well, the dominie climbed
down and drank his toddy and was for
hurrying right on. 'Sit a while,' says
Grimes. 'If ma ain't dead she's better
by this time, so there ain't no need to
hurry.' I guess he won the bet.
"Right there on that hill where you see
them piles of Btones stood old Ed Ben
nett's house. One time Ed was woke up
about the middle of the night by a loud
knocking at the door. He got up and
wert down to se who It was. and there
stood Old Grimes.

He didn't have his money with him, so
he told the man he'd pay him the next
day and gave him hi note to secure it.
The note read, 'I promise to pay Jed
Starkes 130 tomorrow. Grimes. The next
day Starkes waited for Grimes to come,
but no Grimes showed up. The day
after he rode to Grimes's house and asked
for his money.
" "Well say Grimes, looking wise, 'this
note says I'll pay you tomorrow. Come
around then and I'll give It to you.' You
Bee Old Grime hadn't put no date to the
note, and he kept that fellow running to
his house, tomorrow and tomorrow till
he'd' had enough fun out, of t, then . he
paid him off with the Interest aded to It.
, "Grimes had a horse that he'd brought
tip from a colt and had trained It so's it
would go when he said 'Whoa' and would
stop still when he Bald 'Gct-ap.' One
time when they was holding court up to
the meeting house Grimes came along
riding this horse, and, by golleral. If he
didn't ride him straight up the meeting
house steps into the room whero the
court waa setting, hollering 'Whoa' to It
at the top of his voice. Of courso, th
horse kept right on, and the folks around
couldn't blame Grimes none for a balky
horse, 'cause they seen he was trying to
make it stop. They didn't know how he'd
been trained.
"Some folks say Old Grimes wasn't
quite right. He was a mighty coward,
they say. His folks scared him so when
he was a child that when he growed up
he was afralj to go down cellar after
dark without he had a drink or two to
brace him up. Anyhow, his doings give
folks their fun years ago, and I guess it
ain't died out yet." New York Sun.
Learning; German. Abroud.
A tourist. Just returned from Europe,
met at a health 'resort In Germany a
young American student who was serving
there as a waiter. He had taken the place
to learn the language of the country, h
said, but told the American that the plan
had been a failure and that he might bet
ter have gone to Milwaukee or Cincinnati,
for he got no German at the hotel, because
the guest all spoke English and French.
