kindly:

I was surprised to see big two-horse
wagon back up to the house. and when my
neighbor came out said:
why. how is it you are going to move?
thought you were perfectly delighted with
your present quarters
We'll" he replied, I'VE were but, you
see. We have lived in Washington so long
that We have acquired the moving habit"
THE moving habit huh? / never heard
of its being a habit before"
We'll, ii is. just as much as smoking or
drinking coffee, or tea. or anything else:
it's like an attack of chills and fever in
scme respects. Why, when we have been
fever TO move comes on, and in two
three months 1t reaches its height. We
become restless and dissatisfied, and moth
ing will cure the feeling but a change of
residence. Since We came to Washington
about twelve years ago, we have moved
at least sixteen times. We tried buying
place once. but we had acquired the habit
then. and when the season came around 1t
struck US as hard as ever, and we had to
give IL up. Just let what we had paid in
go and got out l really believe my wife
would have had a serious illness if we had
stayed in the place three months longer"
Like my neighbor. there are thousands
of families in Washington who get this
moving fever: some of them it only attacks
about once in twelve months; others seem
to have an attack of II much oftener.
The Van Class of Movers.
These habitual movers can easily be di-
vided into three classes, and subdivision
Of those classes might be strung out to
an infinitesimal length. First comes the
family who will only live in the northwest
section and who always employ a regular
moving van on these occasions. Their
furniture is good and the three or four
men who come with the van to handle it
are cautioned to be careful not to scratch
the sideboard, break the mirrors or the
rocking chairs, and some instruction is
given them about every piece in the house
Truly they have no happy lot, these van
men, Then, when they have arrived at
the rew house, every piece of furniture
must be placed just where It is expected to
stay. but IL usually has to be moved three
or four times. However, they usually get
the house tolerably well Strengthened out
in one day, and by the second day they
will have the lace curtains to the front
windows and begin to really live at home
once more. When the job Is done, how
ever. the whole family are cured of the
fever. and are supremely happy until the
time rolls around for another attack.
A second class is that which always
moves with a two-horse wagon; sometimes
one. sometimes two wagons, and the
amount of household plunder that can be

folding bed, ETC., and they usually wind
up by taking something much inferior
to what they first saw. But they have the
fever just as hard, if not harder, than any
of the others. So many things happen
that make it unpleasant or disagreeable.
The man in the fiat below smokes an old
pipe, or the woman on the fiat above has
pug dog or a cat, and is continually talking
baby talk to 1t. The man next door stays
out nights until 2 or in the morning, and
when he comes home makes so much noise
that every one for two or three doors on
either side is awakened. Thse are few of
the things which give furnished roomers
the moving fever, and they also have ap-
plication to the unfurnished.
For those who rent unfurnished rooms
the fever comes as a sort of command to
pick up thy bed and walk" and they can
no more resist the command than a cat
can curb its curiosity. Probably no class
have more trouble than do these same un-
furnished people. They must get rooms
large enough to hold all their furniture, or
else they must pay storage on 1t. Then
they must look out for the halls and stair
way and be sure they can get their house.
hold truck into the rooms after they have
rented them. Not long since l saw
dresser taken up through the third-story
window with block and tackle, the stairs
being so narrow and the turns so short
that 1t would not go the regular way.
Can't Stay Away From Washington.
Another curious thing about this moving
haDlt Is It's far-reachfng and undytng effect
upon those who have once acquired 1t. Just
let family live In Washington for three
or four years and become thoroughly in
oculated, and they'll never get over 1t.
When they return to the states, after hav-
Ing arduously served this great government
of ours in one of its many departments
they become restless, uneasy, and it might
be said, go of their feed. The head of the
family will chase representatives, senators
ard ward politicians. day after day and
week after week for months until he se-
cures another appointment in the public
service Then the family will pack up and
ccme back; their craving can be satisfied
and they will be happy once more have
never known a person or family who
had lived in Washington for any length of
time who wouldn't be willing to make al
most any sacrifice or take almost any ap-
pointment in order to get back again.
