wrought up and frightened by the appall ng
tales OF the dread disease as told by his
schoolmates. So when he got his free yacci-
nation ticket he hurried home, so that no tim .
might be lost in having some Of the virus
scratched into his arm.
For some reason or other ii was de cided
that the operation should be performed by the
family physician, and the boy was sent to him
for that purpose. After he had presented the
scariication to the admiring gaze of numer-
Gus young friends, he returned home aud

Ing red spot on each of his chubby arms, So
liciting paternal sympathy therefor. He did
not receive much. But he got vigorous lee
tUre about obeying his parents instead. and
now he Is the most badly scared young man
in Washington. He had gone straight to the
family doctor as he had been told to do, and

physician, where he barred his other arm and
had the dose repeated. He says he was vac

A tall woman. dressed lin modest black
gown, with the fingers of her gloves clipped
off at the ends, and little black bag in her
hands. stepped up to the counter of the Ebbitt
House the other day and asked for a room.
The clerk eyed her closely as he pushed the
register slowly toward her and asked if her
baggage had yet arrived. She replied that she
had not brought any baggage that trip. The
clerk then gave the stereotype smile, usual
in such circumstances and informed her she
would have to pay in advance. At this the
woman's eyes flashed and she said severly:
young man. I an Mrs. Hetty Green, and
1 am not accustomed to paying in advance"
she did not either.

invest some of her numerous millions in
Washington real estate, and that X was in
connection with this that she was in the city.

her son the richest man in the world at her

Mr.. Castlemon, who took the part of Robin
Hood at the National last night, is a Ken
tuckian of the purest blood, and is connected
by birth with some of the most noted families
of that blue grass State. He has only been on
the stage q few years, having been in the
newspaper business in Louisville up to that

The other night Castlemon told the follow

profession long and had joined company
which fell into hard lines. They were max
ing tour of the West playing one night
stands from Frisco to Seattle. While they
were in the latter place one OF the members Of
the troupe made himself quite hero in this
way. He was quite peaceable man, but one
night while taking drink in a barroom his
ire was excited. Three OF Seattle's tough cit
liens entered the barroom. and while drink
ing one of them had pushed up against the
actor in such way as to shove him toward
the end of the bar.
He retreated and was followed by the tough.
The same thing occurred time and time
again until he found himself in a corner. He
turned to the drunken lout and asked him if
he wanted the whole bar.
"Yes, you --," replied the other.
The actor then grasped chair and knocked
him down. The other two toughs jumped in
and the bartender came over the bar. In
three minutes the bartender and the actor
had thrown the whole tough tout ensemble
into the street.
This action made quite hero of the actor

tlemon burned to emulate him.
