she did not observe with that accuracy

she rushed up to a clerk who had taken
the stand in front of the corner and said
breathlessly:

please"
Then the supposed clerk turned and said.

DISTRICT SOLDIER BOYS
One Weeks News and Gossip
Around Local ArmOries

The offer of The Times, made last week,
has attracted much attention among the
members of the guard The boys promise
that there shall be plenty of suggestions
before the 1st of July. Lieut.. King,
inspector of rifle practice, of the Second
Battalion, and superintendent of the
armory, in speaking of the offer, made,
said:
1.-The guard has never received proper
support from the outside. Heretofore,
most of the prizes have been Offered by
officers of the guard themselves. We
have had no help from the outside, and
so the offer of The Times is so much the
more appreciated. AS rule but little
interest is taken in guard matters by
Washingtonians, nothing at all TO COM
pare with the interest always shown in
Pennsylvania or New York The appro-
priations given by Congress are small
and it keeps US hustling to keep things
going on it, The guardsmen deserve
great praise for the way in which they
have advanced in face of every discourage
ment. The effort of The Times to in
crease the interest in rifle practice is
appreciated by allthe members oftheguard.
have no other idea than that the trophy
VIII be great success"
Many inquiries have been made at The
Times office concerning the suggestion
wanted. The prize is offered for the best
suggestion. The Times desires that sug-
gestion TO contain terms under which the
trophy must be contested for. All sug-
gestions viii be examined by competent
committee and the best one chosen. The
Times will then adopt that suggestion.
The only limitation is that it must be a
team trophy. Now is the opportunity for
each member of the Guard TO show his
originality. Each suggestion must be ac-
companied by the name of the sender, I'M
der seal. 1t is the desire of The Times that
no names shall be known except that of the
winner

Portrait on His Check

A New York merchant has a portrait
of himself engraved on his checks, so
that when he pays bill his creditor has
the additional satisfaction of gazing upon
the counterfeit presentment Of the payer.
These checks go to different cities and
pass through various banks and clearing
houses in the parlance of the variety
actor, the bank clerks ''do not a thing
to them"
When the gentleman who thus adj
gertises himself has his deposit book set
lied at the end of the month and gets
back his Cancelled checks it is a question
whether he is pleased or vexed.
The portrait on each and every check
Is ornamented, and its facial expression
changed in manner that is, to say the
least, startling, and the more banks the
check has passed through the greater
the change The first clerk through
whose hands the paper passes will adorn
the picture with fierce moustache, the
next will add beard, the next a pair of
goggles and the next may change the
aquiline nose to a retrousse. All the
changes capable of being made are rung,
and by the time the check gets back the
self-advertiser doesn't know himself-or
rather doesn't know his picture

Enter Not Bohemia.

A dangerous land is that one of Bohe-
mia which seems to you so attractive
In reality it is a country of which you
should not become citizen. No matter
whether your friends call you prude or
not, do not permit the social side of your
life to degenerate into free and easy
condition where no respect is shown to
YOU as a woman. In Bohemia there may
be some laughter. but be sure there are
many tears. In that land you would
probably spend all your wages in one
worse still, a borrower for the rest of the
week. In that land woman buys one
fine frock, too fine for her position in
life, and during the working hours she
looks untidy and always suggestive, by
her shabby fnery, of gay rather than
a well-bred woman, which is what the
busy girl should aim to be. In Bohemia
it is claimed there is a jolly goodfelloW-
ship, and nothing else, between men and
women You don't want to be jolly
good fellow. You want to be woman
who is respected, not only because OF
her sex but because of herself, and the
free and easy life in which a man offers
q woman a cigarette, and she volun-
teers to get for him something that he
counts more cheerful than q cup of tea,
is one which my busy girl does not want
to live. If for no other reason this would
be one In Bohemia all women must be
young and beautiful, and you are not
going to be that forever. So make for
Yourself a social world that will be en-
ioyable, that will be pleasant, but where
YOU will be liked when youth and beauty
have gone. because of the good that is
in YOU mentally and spiritually. Ruth
Ashmore in Ladies' Home Journal.

Have the Fever.

The pictures of American girls pub
lished BY G. D. Gibson, the artist have
had q singular effect upon many young
women, who have become possessed with
the longing to appear like Mr.. Gibson's
ideal creations. One Chicago girl tried
the experiment, and although she did her
best to succeed she failed This is the
way she tells of her experience: What
I have been trying to do lately is to mod
ell myself on the lines of Gibson's girls,
and all have learned is that pride goeth
before destruction. You know how
those girls lool-knees in. toes out shout
ders back, arms limp chin up, eyes on
the armament, if out of doors, or the
chandelier, if in the house. Well, l tried
it. / got downstairs by counting the
steps, boarded a car and never took my
eyes off the ventilator in the roof: gave
the conductor dime, rather than look at

ly feet that scorned to note what they
were treading on. When | crossed Madi-
son street [ heard people yelling around

to Chicago style, hurrying and lodging

but they won't do for Chicago"

Miffv lord RoMen.

The late Lord Bowen, besides being q
great judge, was also a great wit, and
many interesting bon mots of his are be-
ing recalled just now. On the occasion
of the Queens jubilee the judges were
drawing up an address to the Queen.
Conscious as we are of our short
comings," ran the address; conscious as
we are of one another's shortcomings,
suggested Lord Bowen. Not long ago
he was asked to sit in the admiralty
court. Upon taking his seat he asked
indulgence on account of his ineXperi-
ence in admiralty business.
''And may there be no meanings of
the bar" he added, when [ put out to
sea-" Sometimes. his wit was very in
cisive. as, for instance, when he re-
marked: ..Truth will out-even IN an
affidavit" Not the least happy of his
recorded witticisms was the remark he
made when congratulated on his appoint
ment to be law lord. He would, he
said. find the work easy. his duty being
to give his opinion after so many others
had given theirs. ''1n fact, / only have
to agree, and might well have been raised
to the peerage as Lord Concurry. -

A GIANT DERRICK.
Said to be thl largest in the World, and
Used in a Vermont Quarry.

Said to be th< largest in the World, and
Used in Vermont Quarry.
The giant of all the derricks-the very
largest lifting crane in the worlds that
belonging to G. e. Tayntor q Co., and
used in their granite quarries at Barre,
Vt. The main upright of this monster
is 90 feet high and is held in place by
ten guy cables, each running to an
anchorage nearly 300 feet from the base
of the machine. The 'boom," or crane,
swings around a circle 145 feet in diam
eter, and, like the mast, OF upright, to
which it is fastened, is built of phoenix
columns The loads it lifts are hoisted
by means of steel wire cable IL inches
in n meter, and the boom itself is regu-
il, ,ytz " a nilar rope.
It is said chat upward of two miles
of steel wire of different sizes was used
in rigging this monster derrick, which,
exclusive of it's ropes and cables, weighs
$4,000 pounds. This great machine is
easily handled by the little hosting en-
CINE attachment, and so well are its parts
designed that q 3O0-pound pull at the
end of the boom will reyolye the whole
apparatus when the crane is standing
horizontal and loaded with sixty tons!
The derrick was originally intended to
carry loads of only forty tons, but the
writer is informed that the Messrs.
Tayntor have permitted it to be tested
with granite blocks weighing between
si1ty-fve and seventy tons.-St. Louis

woman Exce1s in Languages.

One of our university lights who is
deeply interested in the study of Ian
guages declares that what woman loses
in profundity she gains in quickness.
She excels in tact and eXtricates herself
from difficulty with astonishing adroit-
ness. In language she is more apt than
man. Girls learn to speak earlier than
boys and old women are more talkatiye
than old men. Among the uneducated
the wife can express herself more in
diligently than the husband. Expert
ence i'll coeducational institutions show
that women are more faithful and pune.
tilious than men, and at least equally
apt In colleges where a record of stand
ing is kept the women gain probably
a somewhat higher average. In the
years Immediately following graduation
the men make much greater intellectual
progress. Women reach their mental
maturity at an earlier age and Idevelop
relatively less after maturity In many
kinds of routine work, especially that
requiring patience, women are superior,
but they are less liable to endure pro-
tracted overwork. We have seen that
woman is less modified physically than
man and varies less from the average.
The same is true mentally. Women
are more alike than men and more nor
NAL as it were. The geniuses have been
men for the most part: so have the
cranks. Woman's thought pursues old
rather than new lines Her tendency
is toward reproduction. while mans is
toward production. Woman loves the
old, the tried and the customary. She
is conservative and acts as society's bal
ance wheel. Man represents variation
He reforms, explores, thinks out a new
way.

Hard on Pat.

Feeling the need of medicine the other
day, Pat applied to a doctor with whom
he was acquainted. Medicus asked the
symptoms, felt the pulse, examined the
tongue, and did whatever else profess
sional etiquette demanded. Then he
said:
Patrick, you're run down bit, that's
all. What you need is animal food''
And Pat departed quite contented.
About two t da5s aft cry the me, doctor or

LOOKING FOR A FORTUNE.
A Singular Looking Craft, to Operate
Among Gold Bearing Sands.

Singular Looking Craft, to operate
Among Gold Bearing Sands.
G. B. Tolman of Alameda has almus!,
finished a singular craft, with which liz
expects to take fortune out of the
Sacramento river sands. Tolman's craft
is a double-decker, and is constructed
from an unfinished stern-Wheel steamer.
The lower deck contains several living
rooms, q kitchen and an engine-room.
On the upper deck is installed an ANAL
gamated plant with three amalgamators.
An endless chain dredger is attached to
the forward end of the boat and when
the machine is in operation this dredger
will scoop up the gold-bearing sands from
the bottom of the river and send it up on
the upper deck to the amalgamators.
The machinery is all to be operated by a
gasoline engine, which IS so arranged
that it can be used either to drive the
machinery or to propel the boat. The
boat, including machinery and all, will
cost about $6000 The money was
supplied by the Gold Sand Placer Min
ing company, of which 'Tolman is presi-
dent, S. L. Hubbell vice-president, J. 81.
Damon secretary and G. III. Jackson
treasurer. All have great hopes of
clearing a fortune by the scheme. Toll
man is an old miner, and is confident
that he i get out thousands # dol
lars from the river sand in the Sacra-
mento. They will begin work next week
above Sacramento and expect to run day
and night Tolman has filed claims to
$4,000 feet along the Sacramento and
American rivers.-San Francisco Chroni-

reaoh Filial Reverend.

Foreigners often comment upon the enc
Doint in which Americans most generally
fail in the home training of their chill
dren. That is the matter of teaching
them filial duty. There is good reason
for this comment. They see little chill
dren so pampered and spoiled that they
live in a state of open and perpetual re-
bellion against their parents and Supe-
riOrs. and this almost without comment
on the part of the elders because they
are so accustomed to yield to the 'mpor-
tunities of their obstreperous offspring.
''Oh, Johnny will outgrow this condl-
ton" remarks his mother, 'he is such
good boy at heart, and then he is SO
delicate that l cannot bear to cross him
in anything he sets his mind on" Johnny
in word makes his father and mother
miserable oftener than he makes them
happy; he knows nothing of filial rever-
ence and very little of flial love, for
children seldom love and revere parents
who cannot command their obedience.
Perhaps Johnny has a sister who is
not such fayorite as Johnny is, and
somehow she is obliged to obey i'll just
the very matters in which Johnny suits
himself. Being a girl is possibly one
reason coupled with an easier-going tenn
permanent, why she obeys though she
does not want to. The result will be
