vt Washington's Tomb.


During the recent visit of Premier
Laurier and other Canadians to Wash
ington, the ladies of the Canadian par
ty were entertained by an excursion 10
Mount Vernon and were accompanied
by the wives of the Cabinet and several
others prominent in social circles there.
They were met by Mr. Dodge, the super
intendent of the place, who escorted
them through the old mansion and
grounds and finally conducted them
down the winding path to the bluff
that overlooked the Potomac and con-
cealed the vault that contains the dust
of the father of his country. AS the
party approached the sacred place Mr..
Dodge, who was leading, turned and
said, in an impressive tone:
Ladies, it is just a step to the tomb
Of Washington.
There was a pause and reverential
silence for an instant, which was bro
ken by the clear, sweet voice of Cabi-
net lady, who asked that ever present
conundrum: is my hat on straight?'

Talk about bad luck, Ed. Pope had
enough one day recently as he was
coming in from Moran to make saint

he had got about mile from Moran
he lost the little bolt that holds the

the chain, making repairs impossible.
