DAD AND HI8 MEMORY
Old Gentleman Really Had Very Lit-
tle to Brag About
It was a severe trial to Mr Harding
that his only son's memory was not
all that could be desired "Where in
the world he got such a forgetful
Streak from Is beyond me" said the
exasperated father to his wife on one
occasion
"What has he forgotten now?”
asked Mrs Harding with eyes down-
cast and a demure expression
"The figures of the last return from
the election on the bulletin-board”
and Mr Harding Inserted a finger In
his collar as if to loosen it and shook
his head vehemently “Looked at 'em
as he came past not half an hour ago
and now can’t tell me
"As I said to hiin: ‘If you’re so
itupld you can't keep a few simple fig-
ures in your head why don’t you write
em down on a piece of paper as I do
and have done all my life long before
I was your age?’ ’’Youth’s Com-

terribly that he could not sleep After

'FIDDLER BOB” TAYLOR
: Robert Love Taylor beti known throughout
Tennessee as “Fiddler Bob devoted his maiden
speech in the United States senate recently to an
attack upon the Republican party and the execu-
tive Some of his similes were very effective as
when he compared the federal power and the
states to the centripetal and centrifugal forces
that rule the universe and when he said this of
the railways:
“They are only one string of the harp of a
thousand strjs upon which our modern Orpheus
is playing the triumphal march of federalism” (
Senator 1 lylor got his nickname of Fiddler
Bob from the campaign he waged in 1889 for
election to the United States congress He had
nothing to aid him but bis wits and his fiddle
but betng a mountaineer himself he knew how to'
reach the hearts of the people of the hills He set out for the mountain re-
gions carrying his fiddle and wherever he stopped he brought it out and a
dance was organized right away The young folks danced to hiB music while
the older ones wfere won by his merry chatter He was elected His next am-
bition was to become United States senator and he made the run He re-
ceived a telegram that he had been elected by a majority of one but later he
received another that 'one of his supporters had changed his vote and elected
his opponent Taylor said nothing but he made the run for governor of the
state this time having his own brother for an opponent which gave to the
contest the sobriquet of "War of the Roses” The ancient fiddle was effective
and Bob was elected He was tyice re-elected His opportunity to achieve
his final ambition offered itself at last election and he ran for the senate once
more being triumphantly elected this time
OPPOSES REVOLVING DOORS
Louis Leplne prefect of police by issuing the
ordinance forbidding the use of revolving doorf
in restaurants hotels and other public buildings
capable of holding more than 100 persons on the
grouud that they are dangerous in case of fire
or panic has again demonstrated that he is the
wielder of the “big stick” in Paris
The order has aroused the indignation of those
who have installed these doors at great expense
but the prefect is used to grumblings and mut-
terings To use an American expression he al-
lows their complaints to go “in one ear and out
of the other”
1 That the edict will stand goes without saying
for the office of prefect is more Important than
that of a cabinet minister Fie is appointed by
the president and is answerable neither -to par-
liament nor to Paris
M Leplne Is supported by a small army In carrying out his edicts He
controls 50000 troops 12000 police and 8000 guards
M Lepine was born in Paris In 1846 became a lawyer and entered the "ad-
ministration” In 1S77 as sub-prefect and has risen through all the grades to
prefect to which he was appointed in 1893 So well has he met the require
ments of his strenuous office that every president since that time has re-
appointed him He was in charge of Paris during the Dreyfus troubles with
Its rioting and violent possibilities

cently elected to succeed Dr Pardo as president

Senor Leguia 'ba3 maintained that every effort
should be made to encourage the investment ol
American capital -in enterprises intended to de-
velop and expi-Mtlthe resources of his country

partly due to the fact' that the large part of his
early commercial training was acquired in the
Spanish-Amerlcan department of the New York
Life Insurance Company
He was with this corporation for years and
when he resigned his place in 1889 he had
’ worked his way up from a clerkship to the man-’
agement of all the Interests of the New York Life in Peru Since retiring
from the Insurance business Senor Leguia has been the managing director of the
British Sugar Estates Limited which has several million dollars invested
in sugar estates In different parts of Peru and he Is also the largest stockhold-
er In six other Important industrial and commercial enterprises

dent Candamo’s government of which the present president of Peru Dr Jose
