This consisted of Garretson W. Gibson, former president; J.J. Dossen, vice-president at the time, and Charles B. Dunbar. The commission was received by President Roosevelt and by Secretary Taft just before the latter was nominated for the presidency. On May 8, 1909, a return commission consisting of Roland P.

"He did not wear his trousers rolled up over his boots in the company of ladies, as you're doing now, nor did he make his first appearance in this house with such a hat as you wore this morning, or I should not have admitted him." There were a few moments of embarrassing silence. "Do you intend to give that package to Mr. Falkner yourself, Colonel?" asked Mrs. Scott.
Mamma and I had planned to make some calls and I only discovered last night that I was out of cards. You have the plate here in the office, I believe." "Yes," said Dick, "the plate is here. I guess we can have them ready for you by that time." "And Mr. Falkner," said the girl, "I want to tell you how glad I was when you took the stand you did Sunday night."
