THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Telegraph Key In White House Has
Eventful Time.
By CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer
Washington, Jan. 22.—When Presi
dent Wilson in pajamas at 8 o’clock
j in .the morning sleepily signaled for
! the opening of the San Diego exposi
tion, he probably gave the moat pic
turesque touch yet felt by tbe famous
1 White House gold telegraph key.
But there have been many dis
tinguished i Angers upon the virgin
nugget. Edward W. Smithers, vet
eran chief telegrapher at the White
House, who was handed the kdy as a
gift by President Taft, will be proud
to tell you the history it has made
and still is miking.
* * *
“Toil know' how people are,' when
they start some big affair they like
to have the president press the but
te n.” says Smithers.
“Well, this is the button. The key
first was used on the afternoon of
Juhe 1, 1909, to open the Alaska-
A’ukop Pacific Exposition at Seattle.
It’s base is white Alaska marble, and
the metal parts are solid gold, except
the actual electrical connections.
Studded over it, you see, are a hand
ful of gold nuggets, the original ones
discovered by George W. Carmack in
the Klondike in 1896.
* * *
“It was a great ceremony, that first
time. President Taft made the con
nection on the 6,000-mile circuit which
nidde the gates fly open and put the
world’s fair on its way. It was in
, the East Boom, and a great crowd of
ambassadors and senators were there.
“The pajama incident in connection
with the San Diego exposition was
due to their desire to have things
open at midnight, New Year’s eve,
jushw the new year of 1915 came in.
That was 3 o’clock here. President)
Wilson agreed and had himself awak
ened. Ait walked down stairs in pa
„ jamas *and bath robe, yawned and
pressed the key, then said ‘Happy
New Year’ to the White House people
and went back to bed.

Father —Son, why is it you are not
doing «o well as you did at the begin
ning Os the term?
Son —It’s the teacher's fault. She
redioved the boy wllO sat next to
me.
1 took my little brother to the,bar
ber to hnve his hair cut, when' the
barber asked: “Do you want it cut
short, Johnny?” “Yes,” replied
Johnny, "but I don’t want it cut short
as a girl's."
Mother overheard little vLillian say
ing, “You adorable, cute little dear,”
and went in to see whom the little
girl was talking to. Not seeing any
one, she questioned Lillian. “Oh,"
replied the youngster “I was talking
to that adorable creature in the mir
ror.”
Little Jimmie took a walk with iiis
daddy one evening; it was half moon. ,
Jimn.ie looked up and stvd: “Oh,
look, daddy, the moon is broke.”
Onreturning from church little
Ethel inquired. “Mu. who is the Mr.
Grant that the minister was Droving
to?’’
“Oh. you must be mistaken, dear.
Where did you get that idea?"
“Well." replied Ethel, “I heard him
say, 'Grant, we beseech thee'.”
“I slapped that new boy next door
just now.” said Elizabeth.
' “Why did you do such a thing?”
asked her mother. "
“Oh,” she replied airily. “I thought
it was about time we were getting
better acquainted.”
t “Mama,” said little Elsie, “when
people are ashamed, do they get red
in the face?”
“I believe so, dear," was the reply.
. “Well," continued the little observ
er, “I wonder why Uncle Joe only
gets Ashamed in the nose.”
WSjam's father had bought some
grapes, and just as the family were
about to eat them, they saw some
visitors approaching the honse. They
put away the grapes until the visit
ors would have departed. One of the
ladies said, “I ain very sorry but we
will have to go now. us we have some
other calls to make." Little Wiljiam
said. “Oh, that’s all right, when' you j
go we can eat our grapes."

INSURE
When You Start to Build
The right time to take out insurance is when you start
building. Then if through any cause your building should
burn, even before completed, the Insurance will cover
your loss.

Certain Acquittal. I
Tiie village loafer had been >ar- 1
reigned on a charge of ehicken steal- {
ing and had informed his attorney t
that he intended to plead guilty.
“How do you figure your chanceH ,
are better by doing that?” he was ‘
asked. 1
“Wal,” drawled the client, "I’m
seoh a liar nobody’ll believe me.”
With the New Rieh.
Mrs. Money-coins, accompanied by <
her young son, had gone to the re- \
eeption the evening before. She had ,
worn her newly purchased and—so 1
hoped—quite dazzling jep'els.
She was anxious to know if they i
had created the expected sensation, (
"Did you see my sunburst last ]
night?” she inquired of her neigh- i
bor
“No, I didn't” was the caustic j
reply. “But I certainly though he
would if he ate another bite.”

"Mother," asked little Marjorie,
“why did that man take away the ]
piano?” ,
“Because, dear,” replini mother,
feeling there was no reason to tell '
her a falsehood, "because it wasn’t
paid for.”
"That afternoon Marjorie came
running in from the front yard cry
ing like her little heart would break. \
“Mother,” she screamed. "Th'—the i
doctor's coming. Isn’t th’—the baby '
paid for, either?”
Tit For Tat.
Porter—-Miss; your train is— \
Precise Passenger— My man, why
do you say "your train” when you
know it belongs to the railway com
pany?
Porter —Dunno, miss; why do you
say “my man,” when you know I
belond to my old woman?
No Chances.
Aviator—" Sure, I’ll take you all
up but ybu'll have to pay in ad
vance.”
“In advance. Why we’ve been Up '
before and always paid when we got
through flying.”
Aviator—“Bure, but this machine
isn't as safe as it used to be.”
The Usual Result.
“What are those terrible yells, of- 1
fleer?” demanded an excited pedes- i
trian, as unearthly screams issued !
: from an office window. 1
"I investigated and it’s all right,” j
assured the cop. “A painless dentist j
is trying to operate on himself." j

“What did you xlo that for?”
"Just to oblige a lady who was ■
driving another car. She wanted to '

Appreciated.

when you give him flic brandied
Cherries we sent to dieel- his con- 1
