He was President Taft's favorite story-teller. Once the president wanted to get away from his offi cial duties for a few days, and that social soul invited half a dozen senators to go with him. One was Taylor. He spun one yarn, "and after that," said one of the oilier senators who was on the trip, "none of us could get a word in with the president. He spent that entire trip listening to 'Bob,' and he kept him laughing the whole time. Laugh? 1 never knew a man to laugh so much in my life." His best known story has since been plagiarized and extended to geographical localities unknown lo "Bob," but here is the story as ii emerged in pristine beauty from Taylor's repertoire: -A' moun taineer who had never ridden on a railroad decided to take advan tage ol me - excursion rate to Memphis and saw for the first time a large city. What chielly inter ested hint was the bars. He had never seen a bar nor a highball; he had been used to drinking 'liquor' out of a gourd. After he had visi ted a number of these marvelous places his enthusiasm over came him, and he addressed the crowd thus: "I can lick any man in the United States." The crowd laughed good-naturedly. This infuriated the moun taineer. "I can lick any man in Shelby county !" he yelled. This time the crowd sobered and look ed at him with hostile eyes. "I can lick anybody in Memphis !" he shouted. A short thick-set man emerged from the crowd and put him out of action with a right-arm swing. When he came to the mounihaineer looked around feebly and said: "I reckon that in thai last proposition I kivered too much ground." New York Times.

I knew all the birds that came And nested in our orchard trees; For every flower 1 had a name My friends were woodchucks, toads and bees; I knew where thrived in yonder glen What plains would soothe a stone-bruised toe Oh, I was very learned then; But that was very long ago! I knew the spot upon the hill Where checkerberries could be found, I knew the rushes near the mill Where pickerel lay that weighed a pound1 1 knew the wood the very tree Where lived the poaching, saucy crow, And all the woods and crows knew me Bui that was very long ago. And pining for the joys of youth, I tread the old familiar spot Only to learn this solemn trtiih; i have forgotten, am forgot; Yet here's this youngster at my knee Knows all the things 1 used to know; To think I once was wise as he But that was very long ago. 1 know it's folly to complain Of whatsoever the Fates decree; Yet were not wishes all in vain, I tell you what my wish would be: I'd wish" to be a boy again, Back with the friends 1 used toknow; For I was, oh! so happy then But that was very long ago. -Eugene Field.

Many a man is kneeling tonight In dreams by a mother's knee, Drifting back through his days of care To the things that used to be. Many a man whom we think profane, And wicked and lost and vile, Is kneeling tonight as he used to kneel To worship a mother's smile. Many a man who is rough, uncouth, Hard with the crust of things, Is kneeling tonight in his lonesome room As kingly as all the kings; Kneeling tonight as he used to do In simple and boyish trust Down by the knees that have long been laid In the quiet sleep of dust. Men of the world ! We pass them by With a scoff at what they are The men of the world are those who kneel In dreams that have gone afar To the gentle knees as they used to do Ah, pity them there alone, With just the wraith of a quiet faith They are not ashamed 10 own! Many a man is kneeling tonight As he did at a mother's knee, As he goes to bed in a lonesome room So far from the used-to-be. Kneeling as simple as when a child And praying to God the same Tfle men of the world are not all bad, Nor guilty of all we blame. THE OTHER MAN. In a little sequestered country town, where tne court ot justice is over the general store and where the judge is an old, grizled farm er, thoroughly familiar with pitch ing hay and milking cows, but hav ing a very limited knowledge of the law, the prisoner had pleaded not guilty" to a charge of bur glary. The lawyer for the prose cution was endeavoring to snow the court that the accused man was of low character. 'What were you doing ihe night before the robbery?" he ques tioned severely. 'I was playing penochle with Jed Parker and another fellow," answered the prisoner, evasively. 'Ah, I thought so," shouted the lawyer, triumphantly. "Playing cards and with that loafer Jed Par ker! Gambling and in bad corn- It Is Unpardonable to Fool Your self. 1 1 is more important to reckon with one's weakness than with one's strength. It is well to know what you can do. li is belter to know what you cannot do, Lvery one of us has limited pow ers.' We are little fractions of ef ficiency. "I got drunk once," said Al Hawes, "and made a fool of my self. Since llieu I have never touched a drop. I am noi telling oilier people whai lo do.bui I know I can't drink." Another man I knew was fond of playinn poker. He discovered lhat he was too fond of it. It be gan to lure him, io make him un comfonable, and to interfere with his business. He recognised his weakness and quit. When a desire grows io the point when it begins lo lead you around by the nose it is a good tiling to starve it to death. An unmasiered weakness is an inward enemy, a traitor in your own house. Unless you meet it, conquer ii, and kill ii, sooner or later it will humiliate you. I do not say it is a bad thing to have a few amiable indulgences; but I say you must be continually on the watch; up to a certain point they may promote sociability and tend to humanize you; but past a certain point they drop you out of the fellowship of self-respecting people, they reduce you to the un der world of slaves and weak lings. Any person's first duty is to be strong. And the very first place decent people expect you to show force is in control of yourself. Prohibition, total abstinence from all things that the general opinion of moralists consider dangerous, is by no means a cure-all. A man may indulge in no one of the commoner forms of dissipation and still may never have learned the secret of self-mastery. A general wins the battle by know ing the weak points in his position and forces. A merchant succeeds in business by keeping always in mind his lim itations. A mind is improvable only when it is accurately aware of its igno rances. And in the same way there is no hope of forming a strong character unless one has a clear conscious ness of its elements of spiritual failure. It is not implied lhat we should dwell on our shortcomings, talk of them, or advertise them; simply that we should know ihetn. We should actually conceal them. Fool ing others may be pardonable oc- Blood Was Wrong All women, who suffer from the aches and, pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Cardul,.the reliable, scientific, tonic remedy, for women.

I tried several doctors, but they did me no good. 1 used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now I am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise Cardui enough."
