•HEN William H Taft was a
candidate for the Republican
w / nomination for president some
wKF"/ newspaper paragrapher said that
u< doubtless every delegate to the
convention who claimed Yale as
his alma mater would vote for
the nomination of Mr. Taft, no
matter what his instructions
were from the people who made
him a delegate
y-7 course this paragraph was
^ jocose, but Yale men seem to
* be particularly loyal to the pres
ldent of the United Stales, and
It is a curious thing to note that the loyalty of the
men of all colleges to graduates of their institu-
tions is marked in Washington. Every official of
high position seems to have the enthusiastic sup-
port of the graduates of the school which sent
him out into the world with a sheepskin under his
arm, and party politics seem to cut no figure at
all in the matter
Of course the Yale men are not all for Tart,
for Yale has turned out men of all parties, and
men to whom party means much more that)
mere personality. It may be, however, that Mr.
Taft, if he runs again, will get the vote at the
polls- conventions' vote not considered of every
man who was a member of his class at the New
Haven school. They say In Washington—and
some of the president's classmates live here—that
he was as popular with his classmates as any man
whom they claimed as their own, perhaps more
popular, but the Yale men don't care to make
comparisons that might seem Invidious
The Yale men who were
at school with the president
and who came to Washing
ton to visit, always make
straight for the White
House. This means some-
thing more than that Mr.
Taft is simply a holder of a
big public office.
If a person wants to [pain
how popularity at school or
unpopularity at school lasts
through life let him make a
study, if he can (ind the op
portun.-y, of the standing
today of some men in (he
rmy and navy. There are
in one or the other of the
twin services today men
who have splendid records
fts officers, and yet who
would give over several
pages from their efficiency
records if they could write
the word "popular
seem invidious.

which made them unpopular with their fellows
and the effect of which lasts to this day
wlHwl'te "°, names n"11 8'ving no specific case
„ jJ *"d clrcu'"stances If may be said that
n one of the greatest controversies which ever
vexed the service one man won out with the
country, but did not win out with his fellow offi-
cers, and he did not win out with them simply
because they thought that the thing he was
charged with doing was in keeping with one act
he committed as a boy, an act that lost him stand
ing with his lellow students.
Al. ^oint and Annapolis they have a hahit
of "cutting the boy who bears tales, or who
shows a streak of timidity that is called by a
harsher word, or who does some other thing that
boys in their boyish humor do not like When a
man graduates and gets into the service he is no
longer cut, but his society is not sought, and as
a result perhaps of a mere momentary weakness,
or a mere monentary thoughtlessness, a whole
career from the social point of view may be
blasted There are some cases in the army and
navy today, and a pretty fail* measure by which
to judge of a man's personality is the measure of
regard in which he is held in later life by the
men who went to school with him in the day of
the boy.
William \\. Russell not long ago was this gov-
ernment's envoy extraordinary and minister plen-
ipotentiary to Venezuela. He was in the South
American country at the time of the strained rela-
tions which existed for a while between I ncle
Sam and President Castro.
William \\ Russell is popular in the navy and
his popularity dates back to hi* school days. Ho
is a grave diplomat with a light in his eye that
neither gravity nor position can put out.. But he
was not always a grave one burdened with the
affairs of state. Once upon a time ho was "Pete"
Russell, midshipman at the United States naval
academy William was changed into "Pete" the
minute that he reported at Annapolis, but truth
compels the statement that neither the oflicial
archives nor the middies' archives disclose the rea-
son for turning William into "Pete." Suffice is
to know that the middies would have it that way.
aud that way it went.
Some time ago I had dinner with a graduate of
Annapolis who had known William W. Russell in
his "Pete" days at the academy. Midshipman
Russell did not graduate, but ho was long enough
at the academy to leave his mark upon the insti-
tution and to make his memory dwell lovingly c
In the* hearts of succeeding generations ot' mid
dies. Possibly some of the stories that the gradu-
ate told of Pete's school days may account in
some measure for the fact that he became a dip
lomat instead of becoming a salt
Midshipman Russell had a way with him. and
the middies and the authorities were not long In
finding it out Pete had difficulty in restraining
himself on occasions, as witness
One Sunday at Annapolis the chaplain preached
long and droning y The listening middies were
tired out with the heat of the day and the bur
den of the sermon, which lasted one hour and
ten minutes. The sermon over, th•• soloist in the
choir undeterred and undismayed by the length
ot the chaplain's discourse, started in to sing "Sun
c My Soul " Hp went through the first line un-
trippirgly and then struck into the second. "It Is
tint n:;.ht," he sang Then he repeated, It is not

night," and repeated it again after the manner of
soloists who don't know when the listeners have
had enough and having a good hold are loath to
let go.
The sermon and the song/got on Pete Russell's
neives. He sat in the middle seat of a pew in
the very middle of the corps of midshipmen with
officers at the front, at both flanks and at the
rear. Under the strain of the thing Pete stood
up. whistled melodiously, but very loudly the tune
accompanying the third and fourth lines of the
first stanza of "Sun of My Soul," and then belore
the bewildered and shocked officers could put in
an interference, he calmly commanded the solo-
ist "to get a move on him."
They grabbed Pete out from his middle pew
seat ami marched him down the aisle under
guard. When the corps was dismissed and was
marching back to the barracks Pete was going in
the opposite direction hended for the prison ship.
Santee, with his books and his blanket swung
over his shoulder.
As he passed the marsihlng middies and the
officers iti command he was heard loudly solilo-
quizing. with his head well down in counterfeit
abjectness:
"Poor Pete, poor Pete, breakers right under
poor Pete's bow."
Once upon a time Pete set to work during his
idle hours and constructed a skeleton more fear-
fully and wonderfully made than any man, Pete
knew the peculiarities of a certain inspecting
officer whose habit it was on entering a midship-
man's room to see If nil was well and orderly, to
pull the door back with a sudden jerk and to look
behind it for traces of sweepings, for it was a
'ommon habit with midshipmen to sweep things
behind the door in the hope that they would
pass unnoticed.
Pele finished his skeleton and by the exercise
of nothing less than devilish ingenuity he suc-
ceeded in *-o adjusting it that when the door was
given a sharp, quick jerk, the thing would drive
its fist straight Into the eye of the man who did
the jerking. It wasn't intentional on Pete's part,
for he simply forgot, but he went to recitation one
morning, the morning that the skeleton had been
put up, and left his roommate, who didn't know
that the skeleton behind the door was In exis-
tence, to suffer any consequence which might
come The inspecting officer came and gave the
door a jerk and was promptly poked in the eye by
the bony hand of Pete's skeleton
The officer instantly marched Pete's roommate,
al! Innocent that he was, to the Santee, where ti'1
was locked up In three hours the roommate
heard some shuffling steps outside bis
prison door Looking out he saw Pete
with his books and liis blankets com-
ing to share his durance.
"What's the matter, Pete?" he
asked.
"Nothing." snld' Pete, "only I forgot
to take that d d skeleton down "
When William W. Russell first went
to Venezuela in a subordinate diplo-
matic capacity, an American naval of
fleer who knew him well, who lik
him. and who had memories of the
diplomat's pranks at Annapolis, con
eluded that Pete should have a proper
reception, but it is needless to say
that he didn't take Pete into his confi-
dence.
When Russell, newly accredited to
the "court" of President Castro, drove
from his hotel to the presidential pal-
ace in an open carriage and wearing a
black frock and high hat of diplomac y
he was greeted in the middle of every
block and at every street corner with
vociferous cheerings from all the
street gamins that Caracas possessed.
The mighty cry that went up almost constantly
from hotel to palace was:
"Viva Pete Russell."
It is said that William W. Russell's memory was
cherished at the naval academy. His name is held
in remembrance, so strongly in remembrance that
no midshipman named Russell who has entered the
academy in the nearly 30 years which have elapsed
since our former Venezuelan minister severed his
school connection has escaped the name "Pete."

Missouri Mules for Africa
My the steamship Welsh Prince, which arrived in
Cape Town the first week of February, says the
Daily Consular and Trade Report, there came a
shipment of American mules which, by those com-
petent to know, are adjudged to be the finest mules
yet landed in South Africa.
They were purchased by a well-known local farm-
er, who loured the state of Missouri to get them on
behalf of Brice Bros, of Springs, w ho hold the con-
tract for the supply of mules to the Johannesburg
corporation. The shipment consists of 124 mules,
all of which are four to seven years of age and
stand 15 hands in height, this being the stipulation
made by the corporation, who further stipulated
that they must all be bred In the state of Missouri,
which is in such high repute as a mule breeding
country.
A representative of the South African News had
an opportunity of seeing the shipment, and lie j
atari s that they are a magnificent lot and have j
stood the trip from America well. Seven days were I
required for their railway transportation to the
American port, ::n days at sea. with three more d yj
to Johannesburg.
On one occasion a heavy sea was shipped mi l
portions of the mule boxes washed awnv. The ' in
lain or the vessel slowed the vessel down for th-
hours while the whole crew erected other boxes n i !
the whole voyage there was not a casualty and. I
considering the time the mules had been on the
Journey, they looked well and tit This is the sec-
ond shipment that Brlce Bros, have brought , c I
cording to a local dealer, the nmh s just Impor'ed

"If we eould breed mules like those In this conn
try,' said a South African authority, "our fortum s
would be made." The buyer stated that mules were
very dear In Missouri. .CIO ($194.66) each being

PRESIDENT DIAZ OF MEXICO.
President of Mexico, whose resigna
tion (leneral Madero, insurrecto leader,
demands as a condition precedent to
cessation of hostilities and the estab
iishment of peace.
urid his first act was to grant permis-
sion for the repair ot the Mexican
Northwestern railroad A gang of
men immediately set to work repair
ing the torn-up roadbed south of Jua
| rez.
| I he first conference of Provisional
. President Madero and his cabinet took
up a plan for procedure for peace ne-
gotiations, looking toward their re-
sumption, but no announcement was
forthcoming in regard to it
In fact the rebel chiefs are now dis-
inclined to spread any peace talk.
Ihey say it has a disconcerting effort
on revolutionist activity in other parts
of the republic, and military opera-
tions, they believe, should be contin-
ued as vigorously as ever until a def-
nite peace agreement is signed It is
doubtful if any armistice will ever be
agreed to again.

Superstitious Racing Man
I.Rst year Mr. Fairie did not enter his famous
three-year-old J.emberg lor the Newmarket fllen

It is an odd lact that no winner of the Hlennial
has ever li en successful in winning the Derby
and consequently a superstition has grown up that
the race is an unlucky one for Derby aspirants.
Whether Mr. Fairie was Influenced by this super-
stition or not it is Impossible to say. but at any
rate I.emberg was not entered.
Trainers, taking them all round, are a practlra!,
