PUOBABI.Y u<i two boys lu the
con u try ?iv enjoying their va
cation this summer more than
President Tift's sons, who are
With him at Beverly. Mass. One of '
them. Robert Taft, is rapiilly getting
the reputation of being a crack golfer
at the Essex and Myopia links, and re
cently he negotiated tlie course at Es- |
sex In 98. The best his father does is
above a hundred, and Archie Butt, son
of the president's aid, who (Jrives some
with his clubs, has rarely equaled I
young Taft's performance.
Kobert's games are generally played
with young men about his age, but
quite frequently he tills out a foursome j
with his father. He has played against
his father several times in two ball J
matches, and the president has had to
let himself out considerably to make
the score public when the nineteenth
hole was reached.
Master Charley, the infant of the
Taft family, is- also a golfer, and If
any one doubts that he is having a I
good time this summer they have but
to glance at the accompanying illustra- j

tlon. It has been truly said of him that
be would be a "phenorn" If he could
only hit the ball. He addresses the
Tvhlte pellet beautifully, swings grace
fully and tears up the sod. When he
does swat the ball it goes some, and
hazards are as attractive to him as
putting greens.
Charley Is not exactly a golf enthu
siast, but he knows the game as well
as a caddy, which is the height of
knowledge, and he enjoys a day with
his father on the greens as much as
does any of the president's other cro
nies.
A young man who is having a to
tally different bind of time this sum
mer from the Taft boys is YV. Averell
Harriman, son of the railroad magnate.
Although given a chance to spend the
summer abroad, he decided to learn
the railroad business from the ground
up and is making his start in the di
rection of a railway magnate's com
manding position by carrying the
chain in a surveying gang on the Ore
gon Short Line in Idaho.
George Dixon, son of Dr. George A.
Dixon of New York, one of Harri
man's family physicians, is a school

Chnm of Averell Harriman. and he de
cided to Join the "chaiu gang." Both
boys were put In positions at $05 a
month.
No doubt Hermit Hoosevelt. who Is
Rfter big game with his father in
lAfrica. is having the most strenuous
vacation of them all. The son of the
?x-presideut has been doing quite a llt
Me hunting on liis own hook and was
recently lost a while night in the
wilds. Kerinlt was out in search of
big game when he was surprised by !

Toung Roosevelt ri'rte very slowly
for hours, taking the direction from his
pocket compass, and with the dawn
located the station. Ue was then
twenty miles south of the camp and
rode in Just as an expedition was get
ting ready to go in search of him.
VIRGINIA'S STATUES.
Figuraa of Washington and Lee Added
to Statuary Hall.
To the great collection In Statuary
liall. Washington, there have Just been
added two handsome new bronze fig
ures. one of George Washington and
the other of Robert E. Lee. These are
the contributions of the state of Vir
ginia to the nation's hall of fame.
The new statue of the Father of His
Country is a replica of the original
Iloudon statue, which stands In the
rotunda of the state capltol at Rich
mond, said to be the most human stat
ue of the great man ever made. It will
replace the rather shabby cast of Wash
ington which long has bad a place of

honor in Statuary hall and which, by
the way, was not Virginia's gift, al
though for many years thought to be.
The Lee statue was designed and
modeled by the Virginia sculptor Ed
ward V. Valentine of Richmond, the
same artist who made the recumbent
statue of Lee which rests over his
tomb in Lexington. It was cast in
bronze at the foundry of the Gorham
Manufacturing company In Providence,
R. I., and is a splendid life size like
ness of Lee as he was in life, having
been made by the sculptor to conform
exactly to measurements and photo
graphs which were taken by him per
sonally during and after the war.
The very uniform, sword and boots
worn by General Lee during the war
were copied in their minutest details,
and the statue is not only a notable
work of art, but undoubtedly the very
best portrait of Lee as he was that
ever has been made.
A NEW GAME.
It Is Called the Aerogame and Is
Very Popular Abroad.
A new game that was recently intro
duced in France and England and will
soon be seen iu this couutry is called
the "aerogame," and it promises to

prove a popular one. It is played by
two or more people, using a soft rub
ber ball and flat bats, at the end of
which are small vacuum cups.
The first player serves the ball to his
opponent off the bat, and the latter

where it will stick like a plaster if
striking the cup squarely in the cen

for yards and makes the gauie a live

1 Figures j
in the I
I Steel Strike |
A STRIKE that will l?e number
ed among the most violent
ever occurring iu Peunsylva
uia is tbat at the Pressed
Steel Car works, McKeea Itocks, \v hitti
began ou July 12. wben about 500 of
the Hungarian workmen struck be
cause they asserted tl ey were uot get
ting their fair share of pay uuder ihe
"pooling system" which had been In
troduced by the management.
Almost ever since the trouble began
there has been severe lighting, and a
number of men have been killed and
Injured. The situation recently assum
ed a national interest from the fact
that the federal government Instituted
an Investigation to determine whether
peonage has existed iu connection with
the industries at McKees ltocks. This
aspect of the matter is a reminder of
the conditions existing in Pennsylva
nia at the beginning of the lirst Koose
velt administration, when the inter
vention of the president in a great coal ;
strike and the appointment of an arbl
tration commission resulted in setting |
Important precedents iu such matters.
Prominent figures in the affair are I
the Pennsylvania state constabulary,
and the troopers have had their work
cut out for them iu the present trou
ble. Although organized since March
1, 1906, the work of this body of men
is not generally knowu. Its powers
were granted to it by the state legisla
ture, and it is entirely independent of
the police forces of the cities. The
organization is a permanent force of
mounted men?four troops of two of
ficers. five sergeants aud fifty men each.
Eight out of ten of them have seen '
military service In foreign lands, and
most of them were noncommissioned
officers before they left the army.
I
1'knnsvi.vanta constabulary on ouakd.
They resemble the Canadian mounted
I police and the Texas rangers more
than anything else, although the organ
ization itself was built largely on the
lines of the Irish constabulary, a force
that has made Great Britain famous.
Every trooper can ride and shoot and
give a good account of himself In a
rough and tumble fight besides. Hut
these talents, while they count in a
pi: >i. do not establish a morale 111 the
foi e. The secret of that Is the realiza
tion of one man strength, the power of
quiet confidence and a belief In the
effect of the uniform. Captain John C.
Croome, state superintendent, recruit
ed. organized and equipped the con
stabulary.
The four troops arc distributed over
the state so as to cover as best they
can the hundred odd coal and lrou
mines. It is not to be wondered that
this duty Is attracting the best non- j
commissioned otllcers from the regu
lar army. The work Is more exciting,
the men have a chance for more initia
tive and are paid quite handsomely. A *
private of constabulary receives $720 a
year, his horse, uniform and n house to c
live In. The regular gets less than $170 i
a year and his food, clothes and care. (
I'.ut the mess account at a constabu
lary barracks is not usually an extrav
agance. It ruus about $10 a month per
man, and as he advances In promotion
his pay increases accordingly. A ser- *
geant receives $1,000 a year, a Ueuten- f
ant $1,200 and captain $1,500. t
No married men are accepted in the ;
state constabulary. Terms of enlist- 6
ment are for two years unless soonef
discharged for cause, and with the ,
long waiting list at headquarters the
troopers have to lead rather exemplary
lives to hold their positions. When '
Captain Oroorae began the examlna- S
tlons of men to enlist a force of 232 he t
had over a thousand applications. s
The constabulary Is uniformed In
dark gray whipcord, with black put
tees and dark gray helmets. The
blouse is very much like the blouse of
the field service uniform of the regular
I army, and for fatigue duty the troop
ers wear a dark gray cap, also slia|>ed t
like those of the army. The combina- j
1 tlon has a neat, soldierly elTect and Is
not without Its dignity. For winter '
there Is a roomy greatcoat of the same (
color that will cover both the wearer's '
legs as well as the pommel and cantle c
of his saddle. For storms In summer t
the rubber cavalry cape Is provided, a
The horses are supplied by the state {
ns well ns the uniforms. Most of the
mounts come from the west.
Other states are watching this pl?n
of Pennsylvania In maintaining a force
of mounted police with much Interest,
i In some quarters It has come in for a
I good deal of criticism, while In other* f
[ much praise has beeu given it. 1
