Taft Laughed

If wise men think that William Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, is seriously ill, they are mistaken. At Murray Bay, Quebec, Mr. Taft laughed, denied emphatically any such rumor:

"As a matter of fact, Mrs. Taft and I gave a luncheon party to ten guests yesterday, and I also went for a long walk. I go for a walk every day and I am going for one as soon as I finish dictating replies to my morning mail."
