Therefore it was as high a compliment as could be paid President Elect William II. Tuft by his Georgia neighbors when they got up a "possum dinner" in his honor at JVDQ& TAFT AND THIS ATLANTA AUDI TOR! CM. the Auditorium In Atlanta. Not that the menu was to be confined to pos sums. But Unit sweet and juicy un lmal was decided upon us the central attraction of the feast, burring, of course, the honored guest himself. Since Judge Tuft took up bis winter residence In Georgia he has been feast ed a good deal, if he desires to keep down his flesh by his conscientious ex ercise on the golf links, he certainly Is subjected to a good many temptations to Increase it and thereby offset the effects of his golf playing by the many Invitations extended to bliu to sit doviu to appetizing meals. It w:t8 only n short time ago thnt be did full justice to the barbecue of Charles S. Bolder, given on the lutter's cx'tu&ire cotton plantation about ten mile from Augusta, and a few days later he faced a spread of "possum BBmarNQ bomb thb possum eoastino ON TUB SPIT. , and tatcrs," besides a menu of heavy dimensions, as the guent of the Augus-1 ta Bar association. Mr. Taft at the barbecue distinguish ed himself by eating, but at the ban quet he was noticeably sparing of the food. lie remarked with some feeling that sleep w&s renlly what nature craved. UIs confession that he would like to takers nap did not prevent his making a speech, however, on tho ' lawyer's life and the life of the judge. He expressed his regret on leaving It. j Catching possums Is a sport of which in which they are expert, and In nntlci- pation of the Taft possum dinner there were busy times among the colored people of the section. Judge Frank Park of Worth county, Ga.. contrlb - nted thirty possums to the dinner and ' als.i sent three cooks to assist In the proper preparation of the meal. j Skinning and dressing the possum is a process that requires cleverness for its proper execution. The colored folks often roast the Httlo beast over a spit out of doors, which is believed to give the meat a specially appetizing flavor. ; The plan nnr in rogue in the United States of , exchanging university pro fessors with those of foreign school Is turning out to be a rrent success. The movement was started last April, when Chancellor MacCrackcn of tho University of New York gave a -series of free lectures at the University of Copenhagen. The genial chancellor peaks no Danish and the blor.d and Intelligent student body of the Danish school speaks no English, but thnt didn't seem to stand In the way of tho general hilarity of the occasion.

Jacobus Damm is not at one with blm in this opinion. "Where is the Applan way?" he de manded when I quoted the author of 'Innocents Abroad." For reasons neither here nor there I did not culighten blm. Nor was It nec essary, for he proceeded without pause to sing the praises of his favorite thor oughfare. "The board walk!" he sniffed con temptuously. "Even Coney Island's Surf avenue has the board walk stung to a whisper. I wonder If Mark Twain knows that In 1092 one of my fore fathers was offered lots as far north as Fulton street for $20 apiece and wouldn't buy, the old nincompoop! In those days the name of the street was not Broadway; it was called Main road. Then it was known as Hoog Weg, or Highway, and afterward as Ileeren street, which meant street of the masters. The board walk, indeed!" Logical. 1 Husband I suppose you realize that was pure luxury. Why. then, did yon buy It? You must have known that we couldn't afford It Wife Of course I did.
