All to Be Seen in Washington

A few of the things that a stranger
visiting in Washington sees and at which
he nlarvels:
Men giving seats to women in the street
cars-ard. more marvellous still, women
thanking them for the courtesy.
That there is so little desecratipn of
public buildings and so little vandalism.
next to nothing being mutilated or car
red away as souvenirs by the tourists.
Everything that is not watched by the
vigilant officers is either locked up or
nailed DOWN.
The hundreds of miles of asphalt streets
as clean as a parlor floor, and the hun
dreds upon hundreds of acres of parks
with velvety grass and wonderful foliage.
The infinite variety of trees that line
the streets and adorn the parks.
The mean, poverty stricken and de-
jected appearance OF Pennsylvania ave-
nue between the treasury building and
the capitol-the finest avenue in the
United States in geographical location
1t should be lined with public buildings
and parks instead of shanties, gin mills
and poor stores
The disfiguring and inartistic tank
dome, with its cheap and gittering tin
Sc. covering, that obtrudeS through the
roof of the otherwise magnificent con-
gressional library building
The enduring grandeur of the Wash
ington monument.
The neglect of congress to provide
suitable residence for the president anG
his family, where they might be free
from the annoyances of official business
The great number of ladies attired in
thin summer dresses who appear in the
street cars at night without hats and
take long rides in the country unattend-
ed on the suburban railroads to enjoy
the cool breezes.

inches tall and weighing 275 pounds,

Dream Discoveries

The Rev. Mr. WOODROW, the historion of
the Covenanters is ar enthusiastic Cal
whist; it was he, Think who told poor
woman with large family that"it would
be an uncouth mercy if all her children
were saved" This was logical, from his
point of view-they that be saved are
few; here is family of dozen, and their
mother actually expects TO meet them
AL in the New Jerusalem. Such mercy
would be 'uncouth." Then Woodrow be-
lbaves in every kind of portent, and mir
acle, and warning, and bogie, down to
Cottop Mathers las. sermon, marvel
ously pursuing him and rejoining him as
he rides.

A Picturesque Summer Home

Kennebunkport, Me.-Standing well
back from the river road, to which slNpes
the greenest of green lawns, is Moor
ings," the delightful residence of the Rev.
Edward L. Clark, pastor of the Central
church, Boston. DR.. Clark and his fam
lily are touring Europe this summer, and
the Hon. George F. Seward, formerly
minister to China, is occupying it for tn :
season. The house, built of stone, in
design fairly suggestive of feudal castles
across the sea, with its turrets and its
latticed windows with charming little
balconies, is now nearly covered with ivy
which screens the broad, comfortable
porches, and, climbing nearly to the top
Of the turrets, clings lovingly to the dull
gray rock. The rocks used in it's con-
struction were nearly all gathered along
the shore, where they had lain perhaps
for centuries, washed by the unceasinS
waves. Its furnishings harmonize most
delightfully."- with the architecture of the
house, and are supplemented by valu-
able collection of curios; picked UP
abroad, many with bits of romance or
tradition connected with them that give
additional charm. Everywhere, in ella b
crate mantels, high-backed settles and
decorated panels, are seen evidences OF
the owners taste for woodcarving It
is really most delightful summer home,
and in its picturesque setting of velvety
green is the admiration Of every passer
by. Mrs. Seward, who by the way is ii
wonderfully fine pianist, will doubtless
entertain a good deal during the season

ers could come there for an hour. the
doors and windows bolted and guarded
by a deputy, Comstock could be taken
over there. l went along. Henry Ray
mond, a crack billiard player in the neigh
borhood was sent for, and he and Com
stock began a game The murderer wore
light steel menacles at his ankles, and he
could not possibly have escaped from the
billiard room.
For about an hour and a half the con-
demnd man played billiards. Talk about
cOoiness! Why, you'd not believe any
man could be so interested in any peas
ure or occupation, with death at the end
of a rope only ten or eleven hours away
Comstock entered into the game heart and
soul from the moment he and his partner
chalked cues. and began banking for
places. The only moments when he SEEM
ed to lose interest in the playing was oc-
casonaly when the clanking manacles at
his angles impeded his steps, and he could
not take the position he wished to make
an expert shot. l believe he and his part
ner played five games before the sheriff
called a hat. COmstock never seemed
TO have thought in the games of the fact
that it was his last night of life. Be
tween the games he jOked Raymond about
the times, a year before, when they used
to play pool for the cigars on Alameda
street, in Los Angeles. l saw that he
noticed how we We're all too nervous to
laugh at the funny stories he told. Ray
mond, naturally, could not play a skill
ful game, knowing that his partner would
be mere cay before another noon. Once
Comstock exclaimed:
My heaven, Hank, how clumsy you
are tonight. ! guess you amt playing
billiards much nowadays. You shouldn' 1
let them talents go to waste like that
AT about 8 O'Clock the sheriff said
the playing must cease, and that he would
probably be blamed for allowing his pris-
oner much liberty. Comstock shook
several of us from outside the Jail by the
hand, and remarked that he was glad we
had all met there as we did.
Walter and 1 have some hitching-up
business tomorrow mornin," said Com
stock to me, as the handouts were snap
ped over his wrists by deputy. I rather
guess you'll be around to see how we do
it
The last I saw of Comstock was the
next day at 10 o'clock There were thou
sands of people there to see the hanging
Comstock looked somewhat pale when he
was led UP the long gallows steps, but it
was due only to the presence of the sea
of faces staring at him, not to his ap-
preaching death. He threw away his
cigar stub. shook hands with the priest
and the sheriff, and said in a clear voice:
" Wait, I'm ready

every boy who reaches the golden" age
and feels the fur on his manly check or

Bile like the one on 'poppers" face. A
man spends a good deal Of his life shaw

the operation as a luxury. He who has
never shaved cannot imagine the salts

about twenty minutes, and most boards re-
quire attention every other day. This
means sixty hours annually of luxury and
satisfaction.
Luxury and satisfaction only accom-
pany a razor in perfect condition. and
not one man in sixty knows how to hone

an enemy of a razor! To do so will cost
you your piety. if not your religion. Ana
