Yesterday afternoon thirty.eight foot
pole was raised on the roof fthe WASH

Halyards have been rugged and every.
thing Is in readiness for the display Of the

expected to arrive to-day. AZ soon as
they are received the Weather Bureau Of
the War Department OF Washington will
be tiled and orders received daily over
the Baltimore & Ohio wires for the proper

all may familiarize themselves with the

She wanted to learn to swim, and, OF
course, he was perfectly willing, in TACT,
delighted with the opportunity 70 teach
her. She proved an apt pupil, and in a
few days could swim with ease. One day,
while they were both standing in the
water together, waist deep, he asked her
to become his wife. As II by inspi-
ration vigorous Eyes came from
her lips. Then there wss Q garden

met at the same place and bathed To-

both seemed to be not only willing but
anxiors, an elopement was proposed.
She knew that her father would object to
their marriage, and consequently readily
acceded TO the proposition OF her lover.

but 1t happened that on that very day the
young LADY, father proposed a drive down
the beach, and no excuse she could offer
would suffice to prevent the unsuspectlng
father from insisting that his daughter be
included In the party. The drive was
taken, and on the way to the beach they
passed the ardent swim, who looked con-
siderably crestfalien when he saw. what to
him seemed like cruel treachery on the
part Of the lady. It is needless to say
that the dive wes not enjoyed by the
maiden, who had little to say during the
entire length. TIE next morning they
