ANECDOTES OFJAFT.
little Stories Showing the Kindly
Side of the Big Candidate.
Brooklyn Eagle.
'' Mr. Taft's habit of using plain
language to subordinates occasslon
ally got him Into hot water when
he was Governor of the Philippines.
One day he had occasion to take to
task the officials of a province in
which there had been considerable
trouble. Shaking 1iis finger at them
he said angrily:
.. "If you cannot keep better order
than you have been keeping, your
heads will go off!”
The horrified Filipinos shrank back
In alarm and felt nervously at their
throats. Mr. Taft coqld not re
strain himself at their hirror-strlck
en countenances, and burst into a
hearty laugh. Then he proceeded to
explain that the term he had em
ployed was only an Americanism,and
that their official and not their
physical heads were in danger.
The Republican nominee Is very
very human, and not entirely averse
to the wiles of flattery. A mother
once called 'upon him to urge the
granting of a commission for her
son, asking him to waive a slight
physical obstacle to the appointment
“His mental qualifications are so
high that I am inclined to do as you
ask,” replied Mr, Taft.
The mother, of course, was de
lighted. In her ecstacy she ex
claimed: "Oh, Mr. Secretary, you’re
not half as fat as they say you are.”
The Secretary smiled broadly.
“After, that,” he said, "your boy
shall certainly have the commission.’,'
Taft’s father, who was a Judge of
ILe Superior Court in Cinclnnati.used
to have a stock phrase about his boy,
William Howard. It was “Mediocri
ty won’t do for Willie.”
He would reiterate this whenever
opportunity presented. As there
were three other sonB, it would seem
that some little jealousy might have
been caused by the father’s expres
sion of preference, but as a matter
of fact this was not the case. All
the other boys were Inclined to a
gree with this view of “Willie,” and
one of them has spent thousands up
on thousands of dollars to bring a
bout his nomination.

IF YOU SAVE A BOY.
Some Educational Problems For
Parents to Consider.
In American secondary schools In
the year 1906 there were 925,000 pu
pile—742,000 at the public high
schools and only 183,000 at private
schools of all kinds, says a writer
in Llpplncott's. Many thousands of
these latter were in the preparatory
departments of the numerous small
colleges all -over the land, but large
ly in the south and west. The ma
jority were in the private schools in
the large cities. The Catholic
church Is more energetic than any
other denomination in the private
education of the children of its mem
bership.
' In superior education (colleges
and universities nominally for acad
emic study, but largely given over to
technical instruction) there were 61,
000 in State inBttutions and 93(000
at other than State institutions. In
professional schools (law, medicine,
theology, engineering and the like,
usually in connection with an acad
emic Institution) there were 11,000
students at State and 1,000 at other
than State .institutions. There were
also 60,000 pupils at normal schools
(all but 10,000 of them in State sup
ported institutions), and there were_
about 400,000 attending art, music,
business, industrial and trade
schools, including those at Indian
schools and those for the deaf, blind
J nfbnc iinfnpfunofoa
It appears from these official fig
ures that about 9 per cent of the pri
mai‘y scholars, under 20 per cent of
the secondary scholars and over 70
per cent tjf university and profession
al Btudents are educated at private
cost. Private education of children
In primary schools Is generally se
cured through preference, while su
perior education at private expense
is a necessity except In those States
where public universities are estab
lished, and at the latter only tuition
Is free, and other expenses about the
same as at endowed institutions. At
many non-State colleges and univer
sities scholarships pnd other student
aids are provided; so that for many
the expense is no greater than at the
State institutions.
Seconddary education is In a dif
ferent category from either of the
other branches. In most rural dis
tricts it must be at private cost, and
while in cities it Is usually optional
instruction at private cost is often
desirable if the expense can be af
forded. This sort of education
comes at the crucial time in a boy’s
jlfe—a time when pregnant idealism
is his chief mental characteristic,
and when he needs the most patient
tender and intelligent care. Yet for
some unknown reason this is the per
iod when boys are likely to receive
the least attention from their par
ents.

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS DEAr.

Famous Author, Familiarly Known
as. ‘‘UncJc_iJamus'’ Passes Away at
Hi?Home in Atlanta—Editor and
Proprietor of Uncle Remus’ Slag
re.
azlne.
Atlanta, Ga., July 3.—Joel Chand
ler Harris, familiarly known as "Un
cle Remus” and an author of note,
died at his home in a gftburb of this
city to-Dight. Mr. Harris, whose
health bad not been 'good for' some
time, had only been confined to his
bed for about ten days, suffering
from cerrhosis of the liver. Compli
cations set in and yesterday he grew
rapidly worse and continued to sink
until the end came at 8 o’clock to
night.
Joel Chandler Harris was born in
Eatonton, Ga., December 9th, 1848.
He was married in 1873 to .Miss Es
sie LaRose, of Canada, and in 1873
moved to Atlanta, joining the staff
of The Atlanta Constitution. It was
while he was connected with The
Constitution, that his tales, “Storie
by Uncle Remus” first attracted at
tention. In 1900 Mr. Harris retir
ed from active journalism and until
last year, when he became editor and
proprietor of Uncle Remus’ Maga
zine, spent most- of his time at his
suburban home. He is survived by
a widow, four sons and two daugh
ters. Mr. Harris will be buried in
Atlanta, but the funeral arrange
ments have not been completed.

The liural .nail tamer.
Atlanta Georgian.
One of the great factors in the ad
vancement of this country is the ru
ral mail carrier. He has placed the
isolated country home in daily touch
with the bigv world, and made less
lonely life on the farm.
He has many good and deserved i
things said of him and his work, bpt
none has expressed it more clearly
or brilliantly than Mrs. Ellen Dortch
Longstreet, of Gainesville, Ga., at
the recent convention of rural mail
carriers of the ninth congressional
district:
"The work of the rural carrier of
this country in bettering the farm
er’s condition is one of transcendent
Importance. By the result of his
service the'farmer bec«nes a wiser,
happier, and more patriotic citizen,
and the Government thereby gains
in strength,
"You carriers should be Inspired
to more efficient effort by the knowl
edge that your work brings you in
close touch with your Government,
and into it you may put your
strength' of citizenship and your
pride of country. The obligation is
Btrong upon you to keep the service
clean and above reproach. In taking
iip your great work as rural carriers,
when you subscribed your names to
the oath of allegiance to support
the Constitution of your country and
defend its principles, there was com
mitted to your-keeping the noblest
heritage ever vouchsafed to free
men. The honor of Old Glory be
came • yours to uphold—Old Glory,
token of human liberties wherever
it waves on land or sea—may God
keep it forever in the skies! You
carriers have much to be proud of.
Proud tbit you ,are Americans and
live in the happiest age of the world.
Proud that you are engaged in the
rural service in its present high state
of development. Proud that it has
been your privilege to serve under
the very greatest administration, in
many respects, that has marked the
progressive course of this nation.
Proud that you are in the service
while the old flag has" been placed
higher in the heavens, symbol of
peace and progress, by our bold, ag
gressive Yankee President, son of a
Georgia woman, growing to the full
Btature of unafraid manhood on the
broad plains of the West, and be
longing more truly to the whole coun
try than any President who has gone
before him. Proud that you are in
the service while the prince of
'square dealers' has placed the old
flag higher in the heavens, pledge
that the patriot’s dream of liberty
shall live, its White stripe breathing
k V „ nf mart ami oVPrV

ing the peace, prosperity and happi
ness of the greatest nation the sun
has risen on since God said, ‘lot
there be light’—our Republic, glor
ious triumphant, unconquerable-^
may God save It in strength and
Bplendor."
This is a splendid tribute to a
splendid body of men, and one that
will receive the hearty endorsement
of every man, woman and child who
is warmed and cheered by the daily
visits of the rural mail carrier.

BRAIN THE SOURCE OF YOUTH.
Maintain Its Activity and Preserves
. Suppleness of the Body.
Scribner’s Magazine.
Vital as is the physical side of con
serving youth, however, its true
fountain is in our brain. If we
maintain activity of its cells it quick
ens the circulation of the blood, the
vital organs, gives light to the eyes,
preserves the suppleness of the body,
removes to a distance illness, age,
death itself.
Remember the lesson of the bicy
cle. how the laboring man and the
busy housekeeper, ready to drop
from the day’s work, would, go for a
spin and return, after an hour's ex
ercise of those same weary leg mus
cles, rested. Body ache is often
nothing but brain rust.
"He looks much older' than he is,”
said Von Moltke of a feilow officer,
"be has used his body more than-bif
mind." Age was to the French wo
man of the salons na excuse or lu'l
ness. To the very last one mu-=t L
pointed, animated, a'ert. Be a m
an aged'.as come when ordinarily the
crust of custom begins to incase bn'
trde spirits is exactly the reason-foi
keeping; them elastic.
One of the most remarkable thlqgE
In the career of Dr. Richard Storre
was that by far the greatest portion
of that career was after he had pass*
Bd the age of fifty. The Duke of
Marlborough began his career as a
great commandea in 1702, when he
was fifty-two years old. Lord LyBd
hurst on the eve of his eighty-ninth
birthday made a brilliant speech' in
Parliament. Sophocles wrote .his
masterpiece at eighty. Goethe fin
ished “Faust” 'In his eighty-second
year, Alfleri began Greek at forty
seven, and at fifty-four mastered it.
Mrs. Plozzi preserved her fine facul
ties, imagination, and unexampled
vivacity to \the end. On her elght
eth birthday mhe gave a great ball,
concert and supper in the public
rooms at Bath to over 200 persons
and opened the ball herself. x
Old Lady Gray painted bea.uttfully
though she only began to be\gn art
ist when she was quite an old wom
m. She always vfent out sketching
with thirty-nine articles, which one
servant called over at the door, an
other murmuring "Here” for each
article, to make sure that nothing
should be left behind.
