BUILT BEFORE HISTORY BEGAN.
Wonderful Monument Still Standing on
Salisbury Plain.

The most noted British monument of
antiquity is the wonderful Stone
hange," a gigantic ruin lying on the Sa-
lisbury plain, near Amesbury, England.
For more than 1900 years the Stone
henge" has been the great prehistoric
enigma of Great Britain, archaeOiC gists,
biologists and antiquarians alike. By
some it has been conjectured that the
Stonehenge was used by the prehistoric
Britons as a temple for worship or
sacrifice, while others declare that the
fact has been pretty well established
that the Druids used it for an astro-
nomical observatory. Some inyestiga-
tors are of the opinion that the temple
was never used for either worship, sac
rifice or star-gazing purposes, but that
it was erected in memory of the hun
dreGs which are known to be buried in
a barrow" near by. Whatever it may
originally have been, its remains have
furnished the themes for many interest
ing discussions on the relics of bygone
ages and the people who have left
these monuments for us to reflect on
and ponder over.
Before the Stonehenge tOppled over
and became a chaotic mass of ruins it
appeared to be temple" consisting
of two circles and two ovals, the out
lines being described by gigantic OBJ
long blocks of stone standing on end.
The outer circle measured 300 feet in
circumference and consisted of thirty
huge upright stones, varying in height,
the average being sixteen feet Above
these, placed horizontally, like the
, lintels over each doorstep, were series
of stones twelve feet long and between
two and three feet square, the whole
| forming a complete circle on the top
of the great uprights At the present
time there are but seventeen of these
uprights remaining, and but six OF the
/ lintels are in place. The second or in
rer Enclosure is composed of forty rude
| ly cut stones much smaller and nearer
| together than those forming the outer
circle, and without the lintels. The
third row was composed of five pair OF
gigantic uprights, each surmounted
with their Iintels or cap stones. These
monster trilithans form the chief char
acteristics of the place, as may be sup
posed when it is known that actual
n easurement has proved th"t the one
now standing weighs not less than
seventy tons.
/ The inner oval of standing stones
originally consisted Of nineteen blocks,
arranged so as to surround a large fiat
rock, which some declare was the place
of sacrifice, but which others believe to
have originally served the purpose of
altar stone. The building, if such Il
may be called, is as great puzzle to
the investigators as are the pyramids
Of Egypt, and it is very doubtful II
all the scientific speculation that has
ever beer advanced has cleared up one
iota of the mystery surrounding it

ambition than the experienced poll
ticians. Loyal friends and advisers
are necessary to win success, but the
serviceable kind are terribly scarce.
But the man who has a clever daugh-
ter to rely upon is fairly we'll pro-
tected. Politics is such a delicate
game that intuition counts for a good
deal, and a woman's intuition is far
superior to a mans.
There is big, bluff, self-reliant Tom
Reed, for instance. Even his enemies
acknowledge his ability to take care of
himself under any conditions Yet he
makes a political confdante of his
pretty young daughter, Miss Kitty
Reed. She has not come OUT yet in
the social sense and the smart people
of Washington don't know her even by
sight. She has brown hair and gray
eyes, and isn't half as big as her
father, according TO the weighing ma
chine But she has power OF good
hard sense, which is all devoted to the
intricacies of politics. She knows all
the Washington statesmen by sight
and their political histories from 4 to
z, but not one out of thirty knows her.
She is one of the regulars in the house
gallery and is always on hand when
there is anything of particular moment
going on.
1t is we'll known that Mrs. Reed is
greatly opposed to the political promi
nence of her husband. She is the
Of
man and fancies the quiet of a private
home more than the turmoil of public
life. Mr.. Reed said not long ago: i
have never been able to get my wife to
more than tolerate my political career.
She in no wise approves of it. Kitty,
however, is quite a politician, and, l
believe, indorses me in my public
character"
The big speaker is very proud of the
interest Miss Kitty takes in his public
we'll being. She is confident that her
father will be the next standard bearer
of the G. o. P. and has confded TO him
how she will manage affairs in the
White House. She is strong in her
likes and dislikes, and one of her self
appointed tasks is to warn her father
against men who, she claims, in the
guise of friendship, are trying to work
his downfall. Mr.. Reed does not cast
them off completely when she tells him
to, but he Acknowledges that he always
punctuates their friendship with an
interrogation point. When the CAM
paign really gets UP 20 fever heat
Miss Kitty expects to do some tall
work She constantly lectures her
father about his bad habit of making
bitter remarks, and hopes to reform
him before warm weather comes
around. She intends to revise his
speeches and cut out the sentences
with a pungent flavor, and otherwise
sweeten the oratorical efforts of the
big Maine statesman.

There are number of dainty young
girls in this big land of ours, the
daughters of famous men, about whom
the outside world knows very little
Occasionally their names figure in the
society columns of the newspapers as
attending some social or state function
with their we'll known papas. Each
has her little circle of friends, but
outside of its boundaries she is not
known to exist, She is regarded
purely in the light of an ornament to
the paternal home and is supposed to
have no serious reason for living, ex-
cept, perhaps, to contract an adyan-
tageOus marriage.
Yet some of these girls render val
liable services to their distinguished
papas, and in the presidential cam
paign, just beginning, they will play
important if silent parts. No one bet
ter appreciates the pitfalls of foolish

A Kentucky Campaigner.
Senator Joe Blackburn, of kentucky,
has a daughter who he thinks is the
finest politician i'll that great state
where politicians grow on every BUSH
Miss Corinne Blackburn was his right
hand worker during his campaign for
reelection. During last summer,
while her father was speech making
throughout the state, she looked after
affairs at headquarters. She attended
to kilograms, letters and callers. She
answered the first two and received
the others with as much skill as an
old campaigner. She kept her father
posted about everything, and some
times put in sixteen hours work a day.
Colonel Fred d. Grants daughter,
Miss Julia Dent Grant, is her fathers
political adviser, and she knows as
much about political conditions in New
York as any one. Although she has
met few Of them, she is familiar with
the doings Of various district leaders,
information which may be of value
should her father ever run for Office.

THE CHAMBERMAID'S TIPS.

\ pleasing story is told by the crown
prince of Germany, who with his
brother, was recently with their tutor
at the hotel of the Chutes du Rhin.
When the tutor paid the bill he offered
a money present to the chambermaid,
who, however, refused the gift, point
ing to a notice that tips were forbid
den. The tutor explained the situation
to the eldest pupil, who thereupon
went out with his brother and bought
a very pretty brooch This he gave to
the maid, saying that, :" as it was not
the money, she could not refuse it."
AS the young princes were staying at
the hotel incognito the maid did not
know that the donor of the brooch will
probably be emperor of Germany some
day.

A workman in a mine who had
played cricket in mis- time once saved
his life by making a good catch. He
was standing at the bottom of a shaft
waiting for a bucketful of dynamite
sticks that were being lowered to him
The bucket was we'll on it's way down
when he saw it strike against some OBJ
stacle and turn partly over. Out fell
one of the sticks He watched it fall
ing in a zig-zag course-a messenger
of instant death. When it struck the
hard bottom there would be a tremen-
dous explosion and a dead miner. But
it did not strike the hard bottom. Like
a player on the field the workman put
up his hands and caught the stick
with that easy swing of the arms
that cricketers acquire.

Morton Well Stumbled.

Levi P. Morton, who is just now re-
garded as Reeds most formidable OPP
ponent, has a tower OF strength in hi
FIVE daughters. Two of them are still
IN the hands of a governess, but they
claim TO know as much about politics
as their sisters. The library at Ellers-
lie, the country home of the Mortons,
contains more than two thousand vol
umes on political subjects, and the
statesmen of all ages. None of the
girls claim to have read ali of these
ponderous books through, but they are
familiar with most of them.
Each of the daughters has a particu-
lar recipe for the winning of political
fame, but that of the youngest is the
most unique. BE a jingo, papa" she
says, and you are all right Rich
folks don't like jingoes because they
are afraid of war and of losing every
thing they've got. But poor folks like
jingoes. They haven't got much to
lose and they believe that they might
get some of the rich folks money in
the excitement of war. There are
more poor folks than there are rich, so
there must be more poor votes than
rich votes"
The political sophistry of the young
est Miss Morton may be crude, but it
has set her father to thinking. The
second youngest Miss Morton has a
plan which she claims is superior to
that of her little sister. Come out
strong for the workingman, papa"
she says, and you'll capture every
thing. Don't forget the old soldier
either. If you let every one know that
you are the workingman's friend and
the champion of the old soldier, no

one can defeat you. Other men have
come out for the workingman before,
and for the old soldier, too, but no one
has ever stood for both of them.

mt long ago if it were not for the

their father posted as to the trend of
opinion in regard to himself in the
various sections of the country. They
know where he is strong and where he
will have to overcome the greatest op-
position. These three girls are well
up in politics in general, and can en-
terrain their fathers political visitors
in way congenial to the latter.
