The washington Monument.

One hundred and seventy-five men at
work make the vicinity Of Washington
monument very busy scene, says a
letter from the national capital. The
Baltimore and Potomac railroad has
finished the switch from long bridge via
Fourteenth street to the base of the
shaft, and cargoes OF unhewn blocks Of
marble and granite arrive every day.
At present marble is comiag from
Maryland. Seventy-five men are. at
work dressing up the blocks as they
arrive. Superintendent Mclaughlin in
tends to increase the force as soon q
possible to 100, which is the full capacity
ofthe cutting sheds. Two entire courses
have been laid. and, with good fortune,
by this time next year 100 feet will be
added to the height of the shaft. The
outer wall of marble is laid in lime of Tiel
while the inner wall of granite is held
by hydraulic Portland cement. About
forty-five memorial stones are already
in place on the inner wall, and number
of others, VIII ch now rest in the museum
shed, will be set in as the architect and
monumental secretary think advisable.
At present masons are not at work up
on the top, but the first of next week
work will be begun again and continued
until the eighteenth of December, when
it is expected the weather will interfere.
A full corps of stonecutters will be en-
ployed all winter, SO that by spring
enough stone will be ready to supply the
masons until frosts compels them to
stop.

The Glnafe PIE Stand.


The Senate pie stand, says the Wash
ington correspondent OF the Hartford
Times, was kept by crippled lady
named Mary Burch. She has been
there for many years, and has probably
made money. During the time Mary
has kept it she has had as customers
many of the leading men of the nation.
Senator McCrary, ofKentucky, the most
humorous speaker that has been in the
Senate since the days of Nye, was a
regular customer of MsSil,Iestand; so
also was Zach Chandler. David Davis
could be seen there every day the Senate
was. in session, drinking his glass of
milk and eating his piece of pie, for
which Mary charged eight cents.
Chandler was a greet pie-eater; Senator
Vest, of Missouri, was also a frequent
but not regular consumer of Mary's
famous pies. l remember one day of
hearing Senator McCrary invite Senator
Ransom, of North Carolina, up to
Mary's stand. Said McCrary, whose
strongest point was his economy and
saving-he saved, it is said, $685.
900 of the $4,000 he received as
salary for the eight years he was
in the Senate" Ransom, you have
luuched me several times, now come
and take lunch with me-" Ransom
accompanied him, expecting, of course,
to be led down to the restaurant, but
McCrary walked direct to Mary's pie
stand. MARY" said he, "give US two
glasses of milk and five cents worth of
ginger cakes. Turning to Ransom, he
asked, innocently: Ransom, do you
like ginger cakesP" Ransom said he
did, but he drank the milk only, while
McCrary consumed the five cakes. An
other day he met Conkling walking
along the hall. Stopping him, he said:
Conkling, have something" "Conk-
ling said: Certainly" McCrary went
over to the stand, and, handing Mary
two pennies, said: "Give US two of
those long sticks of candy" Taking
the largest, he handed Conkling the
other, and the pair walked off. One
day Mary was asked if Senator Davis
ate in proportion to his size. She an
swered: "No, he don't eat much, but
he is good pay, which is more than some
of them" Senator Davis, besides his
million-dollar farm, has at least another
million dollars lying around. Mary
made cake which was known as the
two-cent cake. 1t was made of better
material than the ordinary penny cake
Chandler was noticed munching on
them one day by a friend, who asked if
he could stand such food. "Stand it"
be replied; "no, don't stand it. My
liver is too active, and eat these to stop

A Good Daed Rewarded.

Many curious stories are told OF the
influence exercised by the Afghan chiefs
over their followers, among the most
striking of which is the following: A
young English suhaltern, attached to
tho Cabul expedition of 1912, rescued
an Afghan pilgrim from some British
soldiers who were handling him
roughly. The pilgrim warmly thanked
his deliverer, saying with emphasis that
"an Afghan never forgets good turn
or a bad one" Some months later, dur
ing the fatal battle of the Kurd Cabul
pass, our hero saw one Of the enemy
point to him repeatedly, and concluded
himself singled out for destruction.
But, to his amazement, he remained un-
hurt amid the hottest fire, while his
men were dropping around him like
caves, those who had molested the pill
grim being the first to fall. At length
several OF the enemy disarmed and
dragged him down by main forced
checking those who wished to kill hi
by declaring him to be under the pro-
lection of their chief. The chief in
question proved to be identical with the
rescued pilgrim-a disguise assumed to
aid lis designs against the English
and the officer, having been Hospitality
entertained, was dismissed without ran

Miehael,s MalIef.

Long, long ago in the olden day,
On slope OF the Tuscan hills there lay
A village with quRrries al around
And blocks of marble that piled the ground;
And scattered among them, everywhere,
With wedge and hammer, Iule and square,
With the dust of the marble powdered white
Sat masons who chiseled from morn till night
The earliest sound that the baby heard
Was neither the whistle nor song OF bird,
| Nor bleating oi lambs, nor rush of breeze
Through the tops of the tall old chestnut
trees,
Nor the laughing of girls, nor the whoop and
shout
OF the school at the convent just let out,
Nor the tinkle of water plashing sweet
From the dolphin's mouth in the village street.
| Bot foremost and first, that sharp and clear
Arrested the little Michael's ear
When he walked from sleep, was the mallet's
knock
On the chisel that Clipped the rough hewn
block;
From the dawn of the day till the twilight
came,
The click OF the tools was still the same;
And, constant as fell the fountains drip,
Was the tap, tap, tap and the chip, chip,
chip!
And when he could crawl beyond the door
OF the cottage, in search of plaything more,
Or farther could venture, prying lad,
What toys do you think were the first he had 2
Why, splinters of marble white and pure,
And mallet to break them with, be sure
And chisel to shape them, should he choose,
just such as he saw the masons use.
So Michsel, the baby, had his way,
And hammered and Clipped, and would not
play
With the simple and senseless sort of toys
That pleased the rest OF the village boys.
They laughed at the little churches he
Would daily build at his nurses knee;
They secuted the pictures that he drew
On the smooth, white slabs with GOAL or two;
They taunted and teased him when he tried
To mold from the rubbish cast aside
Rude figures, and screamed "scultori !" when
His bits OF marble he shaped like men.
But who oi them dreamed his mallet's sound
Would ever be heard the earth around
Or his mimic churches in time become
The mightest temple OF Christendom
Or the pictures he painted fill the dome
O the Sistine-g grandest OF sights in RomeH
Or the village. baby that chiseled so
Be the marvellous Michael Angelo

How Maud s. TrOtted Mile In

The following account is given of the
trotting horse Maud SIS performance at
Chicago, where she beat the best time
on record: 1t was nearly six o'clock and
growing dark when Maud S. was
brought on the track. The sky was
cloudy and strong south wind was
blowing. At the first send off Maud
soon left her feet, and her driver, Bair,
turned her back for fresh start. She
then trotted to tn starting point square
and level, and as her driver nodded for
the word quickly heightened out her
stride, and got to the quarter in thirty
four seconds. II was then believed i'm
possible for her to do better than 2:l6 or

ond quarter at 1903 gait, the fastest
quarter on record. there was hreathless
interest and expectancy. TWAS feared,
however, that the strong head wind,
when she turned, would slacken her
speed materially, and render it impos-
sible to win. She kept straight forward,
however, without break or skip. and
marked the thre3-quarter OF mile pole
in :36. Bair urged her gently with
voice and whip. She responded gamely,
and the multitude was breathless as she

down the homestrctch in 2:lO4. The
