MRS. WILLIAM TAFT •OMETHING REGARDING WIFE OF • ECRETARY OF WAR.

Kaanly Interfiled In Art, Muiic. Literature and Education — Did Year*! Shopping In Farit

WuihlmtoD — "What kind of a woman la Mn Taft ?" la a question which U bc4ji« askii'ii in that lante area of the country where public opinion center* on the national Republican contention lo be held soon In Cbleaso There are many Jctlnltlona to be Klten In r- pl' mg to <ba quaallon. tyr hire Taft Is a many elded womad'lnThe cuTernmenta altitude toward every cuatiuuully. and Mr* Taft Is keenly Interested In all that meant the practical aid of both. "But I cannot tay that I think the time la ripe to aak for government aid. The work along both lines must take a more deBnlte character." said Mr*. Taft to

the writer.

"But 1 am heartily In favor of the government taking the tax off work* of art aa a preliminary step to aid the arts and crafts Industry. "I have always believed that women should vole. 1 favor bestowing on them every civic nght. but 1 should like to put In a prohibitory clause debarring them from running for public office. With women running for public office, 1 think the natural scheme would be disjointed and the end and aim of the home destroyed." Mr*. Taft devotee some part of every day to the study of languages. French

and Spanish being her favor!tee. Few mistresses of the ‘White House have known the continental tongues, something which has prerented a familiar knowledge of that fascinating part of society In Washington, the diplomatic corps. She Is well equipped In Jhls par tlcular. She reads musical review* from every part of the world where music is a power. In addition to magaxlnes devoted to public questions and tbs best currant literature. Foreign travel after reading and music* Is Mr*. Taft's delight. She talks most entertainingly of her recent sojourn In the orient, and never wearies of relating the Incidents and adventures of the Journey across the Pacific, through the Philippines, China and Japan, thence across the Siberian ralb road to SL Petersburg. "1 am very proud of the fact." she said, “that owing to stress of time. 1 atrotnpushed the impossible—that U, what most people will designate the impossible. I had but three hours to s|end In Paris, yet I shopped for a year, bought lingerie gowns, hats and other garments, not only for myself, but for my daughter and some friends who bad entrusted me with commie '■I telegraphed a firm with which I bad dealt and asked to have these things ready for Inspection. I Jumped In a cab on arriving In Paris, and went directly to the store. I tried on things, was fitted, measured and generally Inspected for the outer garments In less than an hour, and all the remaining time I could look at novelties and select the smaller things. "It Is not a soothing experience for one’s nerves, but still, shopping for a year can be accomplished In three hours when necessary." Mrs. Taft la attractive In appearance and very girlish. She Is tall and slender with deep gray eyes and soft brown hair, has a frank, pleasant manner In conversation, and talks straight

to the point.

There are three children In the Taft family. Robert, who Is 19, end In the sophomore year at Tale: Miss Helen, who will be 17 In the autumn, who Is about to -graduate from the Baldwin school at Bryn Mawr, and who has elected to spend four yean more at school, if her mother will consent, and Charles P. Taft, second, ten years old and named after bis uncle, the millionaire editor of Cincinnati. "Charlie Boy." as be Is fondly colled at borne, kept a faithful diary of Bs recent lour around the world, and It woold make pleasant reading If hie father would consent to IU publication. Mrs. Taft la the daughter of Judge Herron, law partner of President Hayes, of Cincinnati, and she passed part of her girlhood In Waahlngion aa the guest of Mrs. Hayes in the White

holes through the lower board again and Insert the bolts with the washers

on each end.

To one this tester, says the Prairie Farmer, take it to your teed corn crib and fill each bole with three to fire grains from each ear to be teeted Store the ears In the crib In such a manner that each ear may be found again, aa A—I. D—6, etc. When filled carry to the garden or other suitable place and prepare a large fiat smooth seed bed. Just about a week before planting time. Lay the loaded teeter at one corner of the bed: remove the end bolta. ellp the top board back to the original position and tap It gently. The seeds will thus be evenly dropped Just as you have them recorded In the crib. Cover the seeds with old cal’ pet or sacks and keep always damp.

MAKING ALFALFA HAY. Some Comments on the Most Successful Methods of Handling. The first cutting should be made when about one-tenth of the plants are In bloom. This usually come* In May or early June, and at a time when It la dHBcult to cure the hay. Start the mower in the morning of what promises to be a clear day. as soon as the dew la off. In the afternoon, if the weather has been favorable, rake the alfalfa and pot Into small cocks. These should not be left standing more than two or three days without moving, or the plants underneath will be par tially or completely smothered. If alfalfa Is exceedingly green when cocked, or rainy weather sets In, it will best, unless the cock Is opened every day or two. In favorable weather no more difficulty will be experienced In curing alfalfa than in curing heavy growths of clover, says the Farm and Home. The leaves are rich In nitrogen and fall off readily when dry. therefore the crop should be cured with the least handling pos-

sible.

Every alfalfa grower In districts where rain is frequent should provide hap cap*. These may be made of light cotton duck one-quarter to 1% yards square. Ham the edges to pro vent raveling and make eyelet* in the corners for strings. Cut heavy wire In 18-lnch lengths and make a loop on one end In which to tie the strings attached to the pegs. These wire pegs can be either run Into the ground or pushed into the sides of the cocks of hay or alfalfa. Alfalfa cured under hay caps Is of mnch better quality than when cured in cocks or In the windrow.

"Jointed" Wool. One of the defects In wool which the buyers very carefully look for is what Is known as “Jointed" wool which means that there are certain portions of the wool fiber which are weaker than others. This can be usually detected by breaking a sample of the wool In question. The presence of weak portions in th* wool fiber generally means that at some time or other the sheep experienced sickness or the growth was stop pel for the time being. To prevent this condition the sheep should be kept in a constantly growing condition and steknass prevented as mnch as poe-

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD

JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES Restful, de'ightful, interesting and instructive, there is no trip like that on the Great Lakes, those island seas which form. the border line between the United States and Canada. And June is one of the most charming months in the year in which to take the trip. For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Ancbo. Line have no superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial ocean greyhonds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule allows suffirint time at all stopping places to enable the traveler to tee something of the great lake cities and to view in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the scenery which frames them. The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake, thence through Lake Huron, th.- locking of the steamer through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end of Michigan are noval and interesting features. The voyage from Buffalo to Dulnth covers over eleven hundred miles in the five days' journey. Seaving Buffalo, the steamships Juniata and Tionesta, make stops at Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, to Soo. Marquette, Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth. The 1908 season opens on June i6, when the Steamer Tionesta will make her first sailing fromBuffalo. The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of ehe Pennsylvania Railroad, and the service measures np to the high standard set by the “Standard Railroad of America-” An illustrated folder, giving sailig dates of steamers, rates of fare, and other information is in couse preparation, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent, who is alpo jtrepared to book passengers who may desire to take this trip throngh the Great Lakes and back.
