SAILORS FOND OF COUNTRY
Invariably Upon Retiring They seek u
Farm to End Their Days.

From the Washington Star: Naval
officers always settle In the country
when they can" remarked a prOmi-
nent officer to a Star reporter. Dur
ing their active careers-tha Is. dur
ing the time they are ut sea-they are
necessarily cramped for room, and
while some of them on the large. mod
ern ships have elegant and sumptuous
quarters there Is necessarily n limit
to II. This thing grows ON n man to
such an extent that the first thing he
does when he Is retired, and In nun
dreds of cases long before retirement,
he hunts up n farm. Three of the ad-
mirals on the retired list, headed by
Admiral Ammen, are the owners OF
farms in the immediate vicinity OF
Washington, and a number OF other
officers are similarly provided for,
though their farms are not extensive.
They seem to want stretching room,
and It will be noticed that when they
do they secure big places. Their
minds run into stock and chicken rails
ing. The officers of the marine corps
have been noted for years MS the
owners of the speediest horses owned
or driven about Washington, and they
have been always prominent in con-
nection with our racing associations
| or organizations. Naval officers have
been similarly prominent. 1t is diff
| ferent with army. officers. Their am
bition Seems to be for nice houses In
the cities. The naval officers ideas
all run toward the country. I don't

of the suburban places around Wash

gress. He became during the next IL
years the most prominent figure In
congress. Crowds iocked to the house
whenever 1t was announced he would
speak. and a lasting impression was
made upon them by the tall. gaunt
man who, with dark eyes flashing and
sallow face lighted up by his wonder
full e%loquence, emphasized with MS
long, bony forefnger some of the most
cutting barbs OF irony and sarcasm
which ever fell from mortal lips. Some
times, but not often. he made use OF
the wonderful power OF pathos he pos
sessed and swayed his audience which
soever way he would. In 1913 he re-
tired from congress and returned to
his estate on the Staunton river, the
celebrated Roanoke, which Is never
separated from the mention OF his
name. Here he dwelt alone, save for
his slaves, in a house built OF logs. 1t
would be difficult, indeed. to discover
a more lonely spot, where day after
day not a sound was heard but the

a twig to be cut on the place, and the
dense underground and unpruned trees
seemed to form a fitting retreat for the
wild nature of this descendant OF Po-
~cahontas. Humble as his dwelling
place was In appearance, 1t contained
some fine paintings and engravings,
and a magnificent library OF more than
a thousand volumes. most OF which he
had imported from England. Many OF
these books were rare editions, beau
tifully bound, and In numbers Of them
were marginal notes, ~evidencing pro-
found thought and research. or a
conservative nature. Randolph clung
to the traditions Of his ancestors, and
travelled In a coach and four long after
others had abandoned that clumsy
mode OF locomotion. In his dress, too,
he adhered to the fashions OF the past 10
such a degree that his queer figure was
often the subject of much notoriety.
This annoyed him, but had no effect IN
producing an alteration of costume. lie

thought OF her beauty, her soft blue
eyes, and fair, w%ind-tossed hair, of the
grace of her movements, the strength
and skill Of her play, the sweet, half
shy voice, the gentle manner with now
and then Just a touch of roguish fun
to relieve Its softness. Then he re-
called how she had looked up at him.
and how softly she had spoken his
name, "Mr. Harris" just as that farm
er-fellow came along to distract her
attention and bring the bright color
into her cheeks, and. by Jove! he had
come away and never told her that his
name was not Harris at all, but Ayl-
mer--Richard Aylmer, commonly
known as "Dick," not only in his regi-
ment, but in every place where he was
known at all. Now how, his thoughts
ran. could the little have got
hold OF an idea that his name was
Harris? Dick Harris! Well. to be
sure, 1t didn't sound bad. but then 1t
did not suit him. Dick Aylmer he was
and Dick Aylmer he would be to the
end Of the chapter except-except, an,

remote one. and he could let 1t take
care of itself until the time came for
him to fairly look 1t in the face. when
probably matters would conveniently
and comfortably arrange themselves.
And then he fell to thinking about
her again, and what a pretty name
hers was-Dorothy Strobe! Such a
pretty name. only Dorothy Aylmer
would look even prettier-Mrs. Richard
Aylmer the prettiest Of them all. ex-
cept, perhaps, to hear his men friends
calling her Mrs. Dick"
And then he pulled himself up with
a laugh to think how fast his thoughts
had been running on-why, he had &C
tual.y married himself already. after
an hour and a half's acquaintance and
before even he had begun his wooing!

HERMIT IN A BIG CITY.
Why An Old Lady Has shut Herself On
from tina World.

Various, indeed, are the ways In
which eccentric people indulge their
little peculiarities, but a decidedly
original manner has been adopted by
an old lady living here, says a Paris
letter to the London Telegraph. On
one of the grand %boulevards stands a
house with closed shutters and fasten-
cd door. Scarcely a sign of life is there
about the place and the house has re-
manned in a similar state over q quar-
ter OF a century.
The owner Is an old lady, who, on
Sept. 4. 1870, the day on which the re-
public was proclaimed, resolutely deter
mined that no one affected by republic
an ideas should ever cross the threshold
OF her dwelling. To avoid any such
contingency she simply declined
to allow any one inside and has refused
all offers to hire either apartments or
the shop below. The only time she
breaks through her hard and fast rule
is when workmen are permitted to en-
ter in order to carry out repairs.
Painters, carpenters, locksmiths and
masons once a year in turn invade her
privacy and make good any damage.
To relatives whose political tendencies
are the same as her own she Is partic.
ularly gracious, but at the death OF
each one an apartment in the building
Is sealed up and now all are closed
barring the very small one 1t the back
OF the house, which the anti-republic-
an hermit reserves for her own use and
that OF her three servants. This
strange behavior on the part OF an old
lady has repeatedly excited comment
and numerous have been the attempts
! OF people to gain an entrance by some
ruse OF other. All their efforts are
foiled by IN aged servant, who guards
tho front door with dragon-lik vigil
ance, and the would-be intruder soon
| finds the portals slammed in his a
and himself none the wiser for his
| curiosity.

Randolph took a brilliant part in the
famous Virginia convention OF 1929,
where the greatness of his intellect
and %eloquence was conspicuous even in
an assembly composed OF such NEE as
Monroe, Madison n John Marshall.
A few months before his death the
country was thrown into great excite
ment by Andrew Jackson's proclama-
ton to enforce the tariff law. Ran

quired to attend at Pahoehoe.
Mr.. Townsend explained that this
action would mean walk OF about
three miles for the children, but the
road was very good and over sand for
the greater part of the way. Il was the
sense of the meeting that exceptions
be made in special cases.
In returning to the Kona squa bile
Mr. Townsend reported that Mr.. Mills
the school agent, had appointed three
assistant teachers without the author
ity of the board. They claimed their
salary for three weeks time.
Mr.. Bowen said he was in favor OF
paying all of the people who had been
employed as teachers, whether through
the action of the board or the mistakes
of Mr.. Mills.
A petition from the teachers of Kaa-
kopua School, asking for inside blinds
for the school building, on account OF
the binding light, was granted.
