Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft clasped hands for a moment lai night at the Union League reception to Charles E. Hughe:. "How do vou do?" said Mr. Taft "How do you do?" Mr. Roosevelt rejoined. Each bowed and Mr. Roosevelt passed on, to shake hands with other guests, leaving Mr. Taftt o greet those who followed. A few moments later Mr. Roosevelt took his place in the receiving line. He stood between Mr, Hughes and Chauncey M. Depew. Just the other side of Mr. Depew stood Mr. laft Thus, standing in the same receiv ing line, they shook hands with the hundreds of club members and their guests who filed past during the eve' nine.

Lounsberry, professor of English at Yale university, and a close friend of both. On that occasion they merely shook hands, exchanging no words.

I think the alternative ot the policy of the present administration is peace with honor. - "We are not courting a struggle, but I do say with all seriousness that we have been living in a period of national humiliation." "Good I" shouted Mr. Roosevelt "Our cititens have been murdered, their property destroyed and our com merce interrupted," Mr. Hughes add ed. 'The alternative of a weak and vacillating policy it not war, it is a firm insistence upon known rights in a world where all nations desire our friendship and we desire the friend ship pf all and where only the moat inexcusable blundering could drag us into strife." . , , KINGA&SAE-BEN,; XXII ENTEES THE CITYJF CIBOLA (CMorae fl-em Faa On.) sion that one could almost bear the intriguing woman curse her hands and the "damned spot that would not wash away."
