"You're not aa big as I though you' he, Mister Taft," observed a man nt the left. "That's not my fault. I eat often and I eat lots," answered tho dis tinguished vlBltor. Tho crowd laughed. "Goln to make up a speech?" asked another of Sklnny's friends. "Sny, do you know," answered tho big man Blinking his head sadly, "my friend, thu brnkeman, hero, must not llko this town.

Nino out of ten times ho must como through tho crowd and never will they havo left quite enough room for him to pass. Ono meeting I recnll, tho placo wai packed like flgo In a basket, with a little bit of a narrow aisle between humanity laden chairs leading from tho side door to the rostrum. Tho secretary stopped, looked at the path and at the peoplo nearest to him, "Some of you have got to como out before I como In. I am two man wide and It don't help matters If I try to go stdownys. Also, I warn yea not to get Btopped on." "Suppo30 we carry you up," sug gested tho nearest man, a big brawny Irishman. "Thank you, but I want you to, Btay and hear my speech, nnd that will bo hard enough even for a husky fellow llko you." ' If ho Is lato, which is very sel dom, for ho belloves in being on' time, it ' Is Impossible to persuivdo. him to enter and Interrupt tho speak er then, on tho platform. Ho al ways defers to tho rights of tho mnn who iias tho floor. When ho reaches tho platform ho scorns dis inclined to march to tho placo of honor always reBorved for him, glancing about to sco If ho cannot find some ono else moro worthy to fill It. That Is one great fault his friends find with him, whllo ho Is lmprcgnnblo In his determinations and nlwnys suro of his opinions nnd poloclos, ho belloves 'there nro so many other, greater, wlsor and bet tor men around him that ho ls will ing to put hlniBelf nt constant dls ndvnntngc. I'nst oxptfrlenco hns taught him to be careful of his chairs. Ho always aottlos Into thorn guardedly. Many a fine old ploco of furniture has gono on for yonrs supporting human frnmos nnd onrnlng rospoct nnd nf foctlon from Its owners, Its wonk noHSOB novor suspoctod until Secre tary Tnft hns come along nnd depos ited his three hundred pounds on It.

Gov. Smith, who happened to sit noxt to Mr. Tnft on this, particular occasion, listened thoughtfully to tho Span iard's plcluro of Iho glory thnt must hang around It In years to como. "I'll tnkb It " said the govornor. "It's nil right about tho souvenir vnlue. Tnft snt In It, Is tho mnln thing, so I know It's a damnod good chair." A brond smllo nnd a friendly nod, with, porhnps, a wavo of tho hand Is tho secretary's rosponso to tho un failing opplauso nUoiidant on his np ponrnnco nnd then he sottles to tho serious buslnoss of tho mooting, Its toning with absorption to ovory word of tho sponkers who precedo hljn nnd thoroughly unconscious of tho nttontlon diverted to hlmsolf.

To speak to them In English would bo foolish, to speak Spanish would still leave some ono out of tho clrclo of understanding, and so ho received them informally and obsorvlng that ono of tho chiefs had a watch and chain put to the front with somo small show, Taft looked at It, asked about it, Bhowed his own and tho entiro delegation was as Interest ed nnd delighted ns a lot of boys.
