Washington. , Feb. 3. President
elect Wilson. President Taft, Theodore
Koosevelt, W. J. Bryan. Rip "Van
Winkle and other notables were por
trayed to the Gridiron club and its
Kues ts at the annual winter dinner.
Men of international fame sat at the
board and saw themselves frolicking
about to their own amusement.
The- dinner took the form of a
(graceful tribute to President Taft and
another to President-elect Wilson.
The session began with an inaugura
tion of the club's president, Rudolph
Kauffman. His inaugural procession
which marched into the hall to the
blare of a band, consisted of:
Uetachment of the New Jersey, Na
tional Guard.
. Club of Princeton professors.
Southern colonels, hurrahing: for
the "Solid South."
The "Wanta Eta Pie Frat" of col
lege boys.
Tammany's phalanx.
The "In Bad Club." including Geo.
W. Harvey, Henry Watterson, August
Belmont and Thomas F. Ryan.
Squad of suffragettes shrieking,
"Votes for Women."
Jloun' Dog Club "Broke."
When the din had partly subsided,
it was announced in behalf of Presi
dent Kauffman that he did not think
much of the parade, us some things
were missing.
"Where," he asked,- "was the
Champ Clark Houn' Dog Club?"
"Went broke at Baltimore," was
the explanation.

the answer. .....
Hardly had the guests turned to
their terrapin when entrance was de
manded and achieved by the Sigma Pi
PI Sigma fraternity of the Yale law
school, which insisted on initiating
two new members. The dinner was
suspended for the ceremonyv The
neophytes were "Mr. William of Cin
cinnati" and "Mr. Theodore of Oyster
Bay," to be known in the order as
"Brother Bill" and "Brother Teddy."
The grand panjandrum explained
that S. P. P. S." meant "Standpat
Progressive Society." The symbol of
the ballot box'with a coffin and schol
ar's cap below it meant:
"The ballot box is the one peaceful
bludgeon in the hands of the people.
He who is stricken by it may either
crawl into his political coffin and die
at once or prolong life a little by go
ing to teach at a university."
A nondescript, double-ended animal
with a moose head at one end and an

time-honored goat, that both candi

When it broke down under their com
bined weight, Theodore declared that
although he "couldn't run the darn
thing, by Godfrey, I smashed it," while
William "backed himself against the
world for a good loser."
In the struggle the wigs and false
mustaches became displaced, revealing
the features of the two new candi
dates for admission to the club. John
E. Monk, of the St. Paul Dispatch, and
John P. Gavit, of the New Tork Eve

Next, President-elect Wilson was dis
covered conducting his first cabinet
council on the lines of a faculty meet
ing, and calling on a member for his
"thesis." It soon appeared that all
the cabinet officers from the secretary
of state to the attorney general bore
the features of W. J. Bryan.
"Where is my cabinet?" queried the
president. j
"He will soon be here," replied his
secretary.
"He? You mean they. For that er
