GLEN ECHo IN IMMATURE.
4 Four-year-oId Tots Clever Imitation
ofthe Classic Retreat.

Are the proprietors and friends OF Glen
Echo trembling for the laurels Of their beau
tiful enterprise? Or arc they still in blissful
Ignorance that here in Washington, under
spreading trees and surrounded by emerald
lawn and sparkling water, another Glen
Echo has arisen2 But Glen Echo, the orig
inal will not be ruined by the imitator,
Washington's Glen Echo having been de-
signed by tot of four years old.
Residents Of Sixteenth street have for
days been watching the growth, under the
hands of its baby builder, of the tiny en-
campment in front of Boilers drug store
A section of parking, 12xl4 inches, under a
slender tree, has been inclosed with chips
purloined from a neighboring woodward,
and a stout line of sixty spool cotton sup
porting Chinese lanterns about an inch
long, takes the place of the more brilliant
rays Of Chautauqua. Within the miniature
walls numerous tiny cedar branches supply
the eye with verdure, and tables and chairs
fit for the jewellers of Lilliput rest in the
shadow of these improyised trees. Several
snowy tents glsten in the morning sun, and
an adjacent gutter filled to the brim with
Old Potomac's muddy water gives the nee
essary facilities for bathing and boating at
this tiny resort.
When a passer, interested in the work of
the ingenious baby, asked the little work
man how his circus was getting on, with all
the scorn that thirty inches of stature could
assume he replied:
"This here amt no circus hits Glen
Hecho, where my pa looked me tother
day"
When the lowering clouds threaten a
down-pour Master Beller has recourse to a
simple expedient, which it is unfortunate
that the often-soaked inhabitants of the real
Chau;auqua cannot initiate. He simply
confscates an umbrella, which he spreads
above the threatened camp, and from a
sheltering door watches the deluge de-
scend on the umbrella and spatter and ed
dy by without harm to his little toy
