MRS. BLAINE still inhabits the big
house which her late husband built
near Dupont Circle, Washington
She takes no part in the social life OF
the city. The attendants at the Oak
Hill Cemetery, in Georgetown, say
that the Blaine lot is frequently Wis.
tied by strangers. A handsome stone
cross marks the grave of Mrs. Col
Coppinger, Mr.. Blaine's daughter
but there is only plain stone at the
head of Mr.. Blaine's grave, with the
letters 81. G. B." engraved upon 1t
A hickory tree is the most conspicu
Gus object on the lot. Mr.. Blaine il
said to have thought a good deal OF
that tree, and to have expressed 6
wish that it might mark his resting
place.

oppressed class who ever were compelled
to battle for emancipation unaided. No

not receive compensation equal to that

The Secret of His Success.

A lady once crossed a street where a
little boy was busily sweeping the cross
ing. She noticed with pleasure the care
with which he did his work and smiled
as she said to him, Yours is the clean
est crossing pass. He lifted his cap
with gallant air and quickly said, 81
am doing my best. -
All day the words rang in her ears,
and for many days afterward, and when
friend, a rich, influential man, inquired
for boy to do errands and general work
for him, she told him of the little fellow
at the crossing. GA boy who would do
his best at a street crossing is worth a
trial with me-" said the man, and he
found the boy, engaged him for month,
and at the end of that time was so
pleased with him that he sent him to
school and fitted him for high position,
which he filled with honor. Doing my
best at the street crossing made sue
cessful man of me, he was wont to say
in after years. -HOme.

Her temper's always sunny; her hair is ever
neat
She doesn't care for candy-she says it is too
sweet
She loves to study lessons-her sums al

And she gladly goes to bed at eight every sin

Her aprons never tumbled; her hands are az

With buttons missing from her shoe she never
has been seen.
She remembers to say, s'Thank you," and

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
THE BIRDS, OIL CANS.


How the Feathered Tribe Protect Them
selves In Rainy Weather.
Ted's eyes opened wide with surprise
"Ohl"
Two birds were sitting on the hedge
in the yard, enjoying the rain hugely
if one could judge from their merry
''Che-el che-el che-chel''
''They don't mind the rain, y laughed
grandpa, ''for their little oil cans have
done them good service today
whoever heard of a bird having an
oil can? Birds don't have lamps, do
they?" And Ted moved away from the
window with an air of positive unbelief.
''They don't have any lamps, for they
use their oil for something else, laugh
ed grandpa, more heartily than before.
Didn't you ever see the hens use their
oil cans?"
''No!'' replied Ted shortly
''Well," continued grandpa, ''every
bird has little oil can-some call it an
oil gland, but it means just the same
thing. This tiny oil can or gland is
placed at the base Of the tail It is of
great value to birds, for they don't al
ways have home to shelter them, and
it would be very disagreeable to them to
be drenched to the skin every time it
rains. To prevent this they have their
little oil cans. They dip their little bills
into their tiny cans and cover them with
oil, and then they rub the oil over their
feathers, and it thus makes their feath-
ers waterproof-in fact, Ted, they all
have a gossamer for rainy weather.
edo they all have an oil camp in

''Now, Ted, get the umbrella, and we
will go down to the barn, and who
knows but that we shall find the hens
using their oil cans, SO they can go out
for wormr'
Sure enoughI When Ted reached the
barn Old Speckle and Bright Eyes were
just putting on their gossamers
"See, grandpal" And Ted laughed
outright at the novel sight.
Grandpa, you must know lots of
funny things! never knew that before
bout the birds oil cansl' And Ted
took hold of grandpa's hand lovingly as
he spoke.
" IT'S rather queer, I'll admit, -
laughed grandpa.-Young Idea.

THE FASHION PLATE.

Bretelle shaped trimmings of passe-
menterie are seen on some of the new
costumes
A new idea is dress with the skirt
and sleeves of figured material and the
waist entirely plain.
Vests to be worn with tailor gowns
are made of bengaline and various kinds
of silk, both fancy and plain. They are
closely fitted and buttoned down the
front with horn buttons.
Glover red, bergere, which is a deli
cate pink like the tint of a seashell,
creamy yellow, mauve, gray blue, rose
pink and yellow green in ,riou3 shades
are among the most fashionable colors.
A new sleeve has the top perfectly
plain, fitting the shoulders smoothly.
About four inches below the shoulder
seam is a ruching of frayed out silk
plated very full Below this are two
puffs of the material.
The popularity of the stock collar is
such that it is worn even with dresses
with low corsage. A low cut waist was
worn at a reception the other evening.

Miss Helen Morris Lewis and Miss E.
U. Yates called out high congratulations
from the local press when they 1ectured
for equal suffrage recently in the court
house at Asheville, n. G. There was a
large audience, and the mayor was
among the speakers. The Asheville Reg
lister says; ''Miss Lewis, representing
the ideal southern woman, being a ma
tive of South Carolina, and Miss Yates,
a fine model of New England woman
hood, are one in the great cause they so
ably and worthily represent. These two
devoted women should be called to speak
in every town and city in the state Those
who heard their logical addresses GER

objections to equal rights for women. -

A SALARY ORDINANCE.
Some Kind of a Measure Will Pass
Tonight
At THE MEETING OF THE COUNCIL

The City Attorney and City Treasurer
Liable to suffer by Changes Made.
At the council meeting tonight the
salary ordinance will be patched up and
probably passed in an amended form.
The sentiment among the councilmen is
that the salary of the city attorney and
treasurer should be made to come within
the limit provided in the statutes and
that they should have no additional al
lowances.
at the last meeting the city attor-
ney is allowed fifty dollars per month
besides his salary to pay depu-
ties and office expenses. If this extra
amount is cut off it will leave the city
attorney $1,000 per year and he will

"Ca1' Mitchell is Bad BOY, but in This

"Cap Mitchell, a young North To-
peka colored boy with a record, was
in the police court today and was &C
quilted. "Cal'' is the boy who once fired
two shots at Policeman Capron. for which
he served term in the county Jail He
has been the hero of several other
exploits that have made him stand high
in the estimation of his gang, and
mark him as young man
of promise" in the criminal world.
"CaW was wanted, or at least the
officers supposed he was wanted, on the
charge of turbing the peace When
the pupils of North side school were
lined out in front and the teachers were
doing the best they could to make a
creditable showing at drill, some of the
gang" have been in habit of standing
outside the fence and giving false orders,
annoying the teachers and making an
uproar among the scholars. When Officer
Lucas went after Mitchell he protested
that he was the wrong one, and even
went so far as to offer violent resistance
In court today he was able to prove that
it was his brother who is wanted and he
secured a discharge with a reprimand.
