Jeweler and Optician BY BUYING HERE NOW I AFT AS AUNMAKER Practical Joke, Played by Presi dent on Newspaper Man. 'GET UP, THERE!" HE ROARED Absentminded Correspondent Sat Still as a Thousand Virginians Rose to Honor Chief Executive Sorry Jim Wasn't Among Journalists He Made Comfortable In His" Private Car. President Taft's humorous disposi tion is well known, but he came to the front as a practical joker on his recent trip to Petersburg, "Va., and Charlotte, N. C, At Petersburg he had luncheon on the veranda of a beauti ful southern mansion, and in front of him on tbe'lawn were 1,000 men of the F. F. V.'s. At the -table nearest the veranda were the newspaper men of the Taft party, most of whom bad been with him In the campaign, to Panama and, one of them, around the world. . " . A picture was to be taken, and Pres ident Taft, accompanied by two gov ernors, senators, several congressmen and a lot of colonels of staff in gold braid, ranged themselves on the steps. When the president stood all of the 1,000 men on the lawn rose to their feet except one newspaper man. He was tired, had seen a lot of things like that and was a little 'bored. Be sides, he was thinking about some thing else. The president, within ten feet of this first table, happened to see the newspaper man sitting In his chair and gazing disinterestedly about, and, pointing a commanding finger, he shouted: "Get up, there!" The newspaper man, recognizing the familiar voice raised to riot call vol ume, looked about alertly for the source of trouble. He saw nothing to caus.e alarm, but the next moment was jerked to 'his feet by a stout hand In serted in his collar: "Get tip!" commanded a voice in his ear. "He's got a right to order you to stand!" The newspaper man stood obedient ly, still held by the indignant Virginian who had yanked him from the chair. ' That night, leaving Petersburg , to go to Charlotte, the president discov ered that, while he had a private car and could sleep in comparative com fort all the way, any one trying to keep up with him would have to change cars twice in the night and lose any seasonable chance to rest. Captain Archibald Butt, his military aid, discovered this fact and gave It to the president Mr. Taft at once invited the newspaper men of. the traveling party intoMiis car..; "There's no use in you -folks, having a hard night," he said. "I don'Cknow how many extra berths we've 'got in this carriage, but Archie," as the pres ident calls his aid, "will do the best he can. By the way, Where's Jim?" Jim was the friend who had been ordered to get up. He had gone on to Charlotte by another- route. The president sincerely expressed the hope that he wasn't, "sore" and said good night. It was found that there were three vacant berths in the - president's car, so the six newspaper men drew lots, and three of them slept on mattresses on the floor of the drawing room." It was comfortable., and, more, important. they were on time for the next day's work. - In the morning the man ordered to get up, arriving on another train at the same station, walked into the pres ident's car. Mr. Taft reached out his hand and shouted: . . ""Why, hello, Jim! I haven't seen you for a long time." ' , - . : "You saw me all right 'yesterday, Mr. President," said the newspaper man. ; "Well," said the president, with mocfe severity," "will you stand up when you see me again?" "I haven't been able to sit still since," said the victim of the joke gloomily. '" The president spoke with earuestr ness of his two days at Tetersburg and. Charlotte. He felt, he said,, that the reception, not to him, but to the presi dent of the United States, was sincere. Washington Cor. New York World. TOMB UNDER HIS LAWN. Ocean Park, Cal, to Harbor Arizona Mining Man's Strange Whim. - Permission to build a tomb beneath the lawn of his luxurious home on St. "Mark's boulevard and Coeur d'Alene street as a future burial place for himself and wife was granted the other night by the city trustees of Ocean Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, Cal., to Ennis F.

Mr. Kellner, who Is president of the Globe Bank and Savings company at Globe, Ariz., says that he has secured the. consent of his neighbors to , the plan and that in his will he will pro vide for having his body placed In a casket made of Arizona copper.' v ' : The only outward sign that graves are beneath the lawn will be a head stone or monument made from Ari zona porphyry. ' Horned Toads For Hatpins. . Two thousand homed ; toads from Texas are going through the metaliz- Ing process at a metallic reproduction plant at Waukegan, 111., and being formed into hatpins.

Bi'lieving that it is better late than never. John P. Brady of Baltimore, contractor and builder, bus bad erect ed at his ' country - house. Hickory Grounds, near Uardenville. Md.. a monument to the memory of Adam, the first man. " After spending much thought upon designs for the-monument Mr. Brady came, to the conclusion that nothing could, be more fitting than a plain square shaft of concrete surmounted by a sundial. Without saying that women will not be admitted. Mr. Brady wishes the oc casion of the dedication to be distinct ly masculine. He has -no intention at any time to erect a memorial to Eve. The ' monument bears two opposite panels, which read: THIS, THE PIRST SHAFT IN AMERICA, IS DEDICATED TO ADAM. THE FIRST MAN. In the circular form surrounding the sundial is the Latin quotation: "Sic transit gloria mundi" (feo passes the glory of the world). ' "After all, there is no serious reason why there should not have been thou sands of memorials to Adam," said Mr. Brady the other day. "Some of us may.- blame him for the misfortunes which we get in this world, but few of us wish that we had not been brought here.'' It was kind of Adam to come first.' He paved the way and should re ceive"? the homage which we pay to pioneers In all fields. There seems to be glory enough to go around for ev ery ,ohe who ever did anything, and many; monuments and other tributes have honored men who never did any thing .; "If it Is so easy to get one's name graved in stone I thought it was high time'Adam tufa something to show for having been here. Adam had a pretty hard time of tf. He was something of a hero, after all. Just think of it, to be here on this big earth, not a soul until Eve came, and then" FAMOUS BRITISH STATESMAN. incidents In the Career of Joseph E. : Chamberlain, Great Unionist Leader. Joseph E.
