A Case of Necessity
Louisville Courier-Journal: Ex-President Taft
was congratulated at a New Haven luncheon, on the splendid work
he has done in the cause of peace.
“Let me tell you,” said Mr. Taft, smiling, “an
appropriate story.”
“Why is it,” a fat man was once asked, “that you
fat chaps are always so good-natured?”
“We have to be,” the fat man replied. “You see, we
can neither fight nor run.”
