 Parents cannot be too careful how they answer the apparently trivial questions of their children It would almost seem as if child's dictionary were necessity of the age Here is an illustrations
 "Pa," said little chap to his father, "what does man mean when he says 'I'll fix you?'"
 "Means that he'll do him up," answer ed the father, briefly.
 But then, what does do him up mean?"
 "Bother. You ask too many questions, child. It means that he is going to kill him.'' The little fellow was silenced for the time, but, as events proved, he thought over the subject. Soon after he was taken i'll, and, the family doctor being absent, a strange physician was summon. Left alone with him for a few moments the little fellow began to ask questions.
 'Going to cure me, doctor? ?" he in- quired.
 "Yes, yes, my littlesman," said the doc tor, who was preparing a dose, 'Im go- ing to fix you"
 What was the doctors surprise to see small, white-robed figure dart from the bed and make bee line for the door, through which he disappeared. The as- tonished medical man followed hin, and found him sobbing in his mothers arms. To. her he was relating his fears that the doctor intended to "fix'' him in the sense that his father had defined the word to him a few weeks before

Relics of Lincoln.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The petition asking Congress to appropriate

ing the house where Lincoln died aud securing
Lincoln relics deserves, in my opinion. the
earnest support and hearty cooperation Of
every loyal citizen, not only of the District of
Columbia, but of our United States The only
thing surprising to me is that such step had
not been taken long ago. L am sure quite
this capital city Of ours.
Only today. in conversation with a friend of
mine concerning the petition, he mentioned
to me the fac. that he had in his possession the
SUIT OF clothes worn by our beloved President
on TINT fatal night when the waiting assassin
accomplished his dire purpose. Awaiting my
self of very cordial in vitation to test the au-
then ITCHY OF his statements by visible proofs
l waited upon my friend. Never shall forget
the mingled current of joy and sadness that
swept over me as beheld those treasured gar
ments Near them lay the letter written by
the then Winnie Ream, now Mrs. Hoxie. ac-
knowedging the receipt of the clothes Cor use

which she wrote: II give the suit to you for
your faithful service to our good and noble
President" The outer coat is particularly in
teresting as it yet bears the blood stains of our
martyred President. This coat is also OF in
terest for the peculiar style of workmanship
exhibited upon it. On the inner side of the
tails of this coat, which are heavily quilted are
worked eight shields. four on each side. be-
tween which is an eagle with outstretched
wings, holding in it's beak long streamer,
upon which is inscribed the words. Zone coun-
try. one destiny" On the inner side of the
collar is still plainly seen the name of the

My friend tells me that the gentleman who
bequeathed these relics to him was offered. some
years ago, $40 900 for the whole suit; but he re-
fused 10 part with them.
Surely such relics as these should have place
sc: apart, where all may have the privilege Of
seeing them. Such object lessons as these will
do much toward intoxicating the spirit of 10y
atty and patriotism among the boys and girls
OF today.
May Congress speedily recognize the true
value to the public of the petition brought for

Schneider's characteristics.


Schneider's characteristics.
There was but one witness examined in the
Schneider sanity hearing yesterday afternoon
after The STARS report closed. Frederick A.
Hurlebaus, who said he had known the prisoner
since childhood. They had been playmates for
q number Of years and next-door neighbors.
The witness said Schneider, as a boy, possessed
violent temper and an ambition TO be a
most pronounced dime novel hero. Schneider
was forever relating the most miraculous yarns,
In which he always appeared as the hero. He
wanted 20 be considered tough character and
desired to possess pistols and knives. OF late
years Schneider was full of seemingly improb-
able schemes and plans for making money, and
witness would avoid him to escape hearing him
talk of them. Witness did not believe that he
was altogether right"
To tine district attorney the witness said the
prisoners people we're bright aud had been
generally successful in business
District attorney-And had Schneider be-
haved himself he, too, would probably have
been successful, would he not,
The witness sir; imagine he would.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hurlebaus' testi-
mony the hearing was adjourned until Monday
morning at 10 o. clock.

by Mr.. Philip Snowden to have the association
adopt and print a number of rules of order,
but after one member had designated the rules
as "things," another as "a lot Of rigamarole,"
and another had declared that az the associa-
ton had since 1929 done pretty well without
such rules Mr.. Snowden's motion was defeated
on point of order. Tie decision of President
Norris was vigorously protested against. but
without avail, and after deciding that the men,
