because II is great big dab of truth and
the world needs all of that element it ca n
obtain;
"What a word to Americans that is, 1t
flashes radiant light upon every heroic
deed done by the fathers of the republic.
1t Eliminates the halls and walls, the
recesses and inches of the nations early
history. 1t is the name of one who, in the
day when an oppressed people groaned
beneath the yoke Of tyranny and cried
aloud for liberty, stood forth demgod,
paragon of every manly virtue, a pat
tern of patriotism, a leader of heroes,
to win for them the glorious privi-
lege of being independent. A man whose
ambition was gratified when his country
was free and her sovereignty was acknow-
lodged. A man whose mission shall have
been fulfilled when the last crownand the
last throne shall be on free exhibition to
the world as relics of time when men
knew not their own God given rights but
blindly bent before the pretended right Of
kings.
Washington is the name of the country's
capital; the fairest city this side the jas
per walls that encircle a city made not by
hands: the home and headquarters of
that spirit of love and equality and
power which make Columbia the fair
bride of a mighty nation and the admired
OF every land. The city where her pal
aces are and from whence she distributes
her jewels and from whence she extends
her protecting arms over all her people.
| Washington is the name of the grandest
Of the states, a member Of that quartette
the Unions youngest sisters. The state
which inherits in her population the best
qualities OF the population of all the other
states and whose resources in a thousand
ways are Unreasonable. Within her
boundaries lie inexhaustible measures of
coal, unreasonable deposits of iron ore,
rich mines of gold and silver, timber
enough to supply the werld for century
or more, vast areas of grazing lands, fer
THE rssffsys for the farmer, streams alive
with fish, forests teeming with game, the
greatest inland sea ON the hemisphere, a
climate kind and equable, commercial ia
cilities by sail equal to those of the most
favored countries on the earth in this par
ticular, aud great and growing facilities
by rail. Indeed Washington is IA mighty
and undeveloped empire, the last of the
new countries which are thoroughly in
viting and wonderfully hosptable, to be
settled by the people of the world. Here,
easy to obtain and easy to sustain, homes
are offered to the worthy and the land is
rapidly filling with earnest, industrious.
enterprising and intelligent people. This
and much more which is true and COM
mendable may be said of the grand State
OF Washington, and lac who doubts il sim
ply stands in his own light"

A WOMAN MACHINIsT
Learned the Trade and Works at 1t
Like a Man

IL ever woman occupies the presden-
tial chair In the United States, we hope
she will be composed of the same kind of
material as is Nellie Patterson. one of the
prettiest girls In the village of Mount
Carmel, Conn. Miss Nellie has just com
pleted a four years apprenticeship to the
machnist trade. Today she is working
at the lathe and wise in the factory of the
Mount Carmel Belt company and there
is not mechanic in the whole shop who
eau do better job or in less time than
the fair young workwoman.
Four years ago, when Miss Nellie began
to think of the means whereby she must
earn her daily bread, she looked over the
whole field OF woman's work. Among the
trades or occupations which pushing
women Of this country have made their
own was none which she especially liked.
She was a bright girl, with great deal OF
Yankee cleverness and considerable in
genuitv and inventiveness. The remark
was made by friend that as she was 50
fond of inventions she ought to become a
machinist. The seed thus idly sown took
/
prentice. For the past four years she has
worked faithfully, and few days ago her
time expired, and she Is now full
fedged machinist. She is able to block
up piece Of work on planer, or turn up
an arbor on lathe. She uses a drill or
handles file as well as any man in the
shop. Her speciality, however, is tool
making, and to this she proposes to de-
vote herself. She can also draw out plans,
figure out dimensions, and from wor king
drawings she can make anything. She Is
not afraid Of the grease and CRIME of the
shop, and her beauty is not in the least
marred by a long swipe of dirt across her
dimpled cheek, or spot of oil on her
pretty nose. Her hands are not as white
as those of some OF her sisters, but they
are by no means large, though they are
strong.
Girls of Miss Nellie's makeup are Sc few
that this exception is refreshing one, in
! deed.-Exchange.

MOI MOI MOI

Be your wife, my gallant beau2
I'd smile to murmur, no, no, no.
Do love you? Yes, indeed
That's main point In my creed,
But I'm too young to marry yet,
And much too utter fly, you bet.
My married sisters, Sue and Nell,
We're each sweet and dashing belle;
Their husba nds are the best OF men
Jolly Joe and royal Ben
But Sue and Nell don't ride about,
And go to concert, ball and rout,
And harvest fun and see the plays
AS in their blessed single days,
And as your humble servant does,
With beau and brother, friend and coz.
Somehow hubby thinks, his wife
Should shed her shell and change her life
And quite forego all maiden bliss,
Because she's simply dotted the Miss.
love you, Jim. my gallant beau,
But Wen not marry, no, no, no.
Just what said! See therej See there.
Now listen to my Jimmie swear.
And now he stalks across the floor
And rushes out and slams the door.
Ny married sisters, Nell and Sue,
Say that's just like their bubbles do
much dislike to lose my beau,
But well not marry, no, no, no.

Good Story From Annapolis.
From the New York Sun.
In the Naval Academy, at Annap
oils, is the son of a wealthy and hon
ored Japanese, who is taking acourse
in training preparatory to entering
the Mikado's navy. This cadet has
an enemy, another Jap, who isliving
in Washington. 1t is said that in d
three-cornered Irritation between
these youths and beautiful maiden
who resides in Toxic the naval cadet
came out victorious. Unable to con-
troll himself, the vanquished rival at
last took refuge in that meanest
of warfare, the telling of tales. He
wrote to his friends in Japan that
the cadet was bad man, described
his faults, and made the poor man
appear a heartless ogre. These tales
finally reached the ears OF the girl,
who said she didn't believe them.
Then she sat down and wrote her
cadet lover all she had heard. In due
time her tear-stained letter reached
, Annapolis: and since then-a month
, ago-the maligned Jap has eaten
beef by the pound, and given himself
up to swinging Indian clubs, spar
ring, and practicing the broadsword
exercises. A week since he found him
q self devoid of an ounce ofsuperhuous
flesh, and thirsting forgore. During
= all this time be had been careful to
continue friendly with his rival, and a
!. few nights ago invited his rival up TO
% his room. When they got there the
cadet locked the door, tied the key
to his belt, closed the windows, clear
ed the room of bric-a-brac, and piled
!, chairs. tables, ETC., on his bed. Then
4 he stripped, telling the other to do
10 the same and prepare to receive the
most awful thrashing on record since
l. David slew Goliah. Aminute later the
cadet seized his rival by the throat
4 and slammed him against the wall
= When the slanderer crawled to his feet
a he was promptly knocked through
n the glass doors OF a bookcase
Ten seconds later he was whirling
