POSSUM meat 1.3 considered about
as appetizing n dish us could
be set before anybody, even a
king, by some connoisseurs in
Buch matters. 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

Charles S. Bolder, given on the lutter's

mile from Augusta, and a few days
later he faced a spread of "possum

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. ;

According to Mark Twain,' who, In
spite of his lack of humor, Is believed
to be a trustworthy authority on geog
raphy, the three streets in the world
most famous are the Applan way, j
Broadway r.nd the board walk at At
lantic City. 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!"
