the shiny Prince Albert coat discoursed
on the defects of society in general and
of this governments shortcomings in
particular, says the Washington Star.
"How are we using our magnificent
birthright of freedom?" the orator
queried, imprcssively. what have we

PLIGHT OF TWO SOCIETY MEN.
Dress in n Baggage Car But are on Time
at Dance.

sTesS IN u baggage at are on me
at Dance.
Two young society men who left town
on an afternoon express train to attend
dance at Lenox had a most amusing
experience not long ago, says the New
York Mail and Express. The train lost
considerable time and Il careful estimate
made of the time required to dress and
reach the dance on their arrival showed
these young men that they would be
very late indeed.
A way out of the difficulty was found
by one of the young men, who made the
suggestion that they dress in the bag
gage car and then they could proceed
to the dance Immediately upon the ar
rival Of the train. They went to the car,
found their dresssuit cases and pro-
ceeded to change their attire. Clothes
Of all kinds were scattered about the
car, when the door opened suddenly and
the conductor came in. He took in the
situation at glance and laughed at the
plight of the young men.
Although one of them landed at the
station with dress clothes, no tie and
yellow shoes, he quickly remedied these
defects and drove at once to the house
where the entertainment was being
given.
These two young men had their dance
and were not very late, owing to their
acrobatic performances of dressinr in
a baggage car on train going over %
very rough road at 40 miles an hour and
50 minutes late at that.

THE DISMAL SWAMP.

Inc Dismal Swamp is by no means
SO dismal as it has been painted, and

geographers possesses features which
ought to make it an attractive water

take their origin within it and flow
onward to the sea. The swamp is en-.
tlrely of green timber; there IS no de
caylng wood, the two principal woods
that grow there being the juniper and
cypress,:which never rot. They fall
on the ground like other trees, but IN
stead OF decomposing, they turn into
peat, and in that form remain IN
changeable and indissoluble. There
is nothing in the swamp to create
mlasma: no rising of the tides and de
composition of rank vegetables; no
marshes exposed to the burning rays

and the air is laden with balmy odors.
The water is tinged with the juniper
to faint wine hue, and is though
to possess valuable sanitary qualities.
1t is often used by vessels going on a
foreign cruise, on account of its
healthful properties. and also because
1t keeps clear for years. Those
who hive near are not slow to declare
that 1t is the healthiest place on the
continent,and perhaps are not without
reason for the faith which in is them.

ONE NEW-YEAR'S,

There was one New Years reception

The British in 1914 having burned the
white house, President Madison moved
over to the Octagon house, which was
owned by Col. John Tayloe. He spent
over five months there. All who at

in past years to have talked to several
gentlemen who were present They de-

being enormously wealthy and liberal

With a little practice you can easily
tell the time by looking into cats

know what o'clock it is they will run
to the nearest cat, open her eyes and at
once tell what time it is. This they
do by observing the size Of the aper-
ture of the pupil of the eye, which they
have discovered is of varying size at
different hours of the day, being af-
tected by the position of the sun and
