Lord Herschell had a fondness for going
around and looking at things on his own
hook When he first came to Washington
he was driven over the city numbers Of
times and shown the points of interest,
but he liked walking better, and he took
numerous long prowls about the city quite
unaccompanied, says the Post of that
city. On one of these occasions he was
accosted in front of the Smithsonian In
stitution by a guide. The guides manner
of mixing his negatives probably appealed
to the Englishmans fancy for he con-
sented to be shown through the Smithson-
ian Institution and the National Museum
by the man. A member of the Smithsonian
Institutions scientific corps, who was no
great distance from the titled English
man and the guide as they went around
among the exhibits in the two buildings
says that it was delicious to observe Lord
Hersch hells solemn reception of the guide :
misinformation. The guide knew abso-
lutely nothing about the exhibits but the
fashion with which he descanted upon
them, says the scientist, who overheard
him. was gloriousy pompous and ridicu-
lous. Lord Herschell listened to the man
as if he were sitting under some ca-
nous lecturer only occasionally regard
ing the guide with a sly twinkle in his
eye when the wealth of misinformation
and tommyrot was flowing particularly
free. After an hour or so thus spent the
Englishman dismissed the guide and hand
ed him a sovereign from among a num-
Der that he fished out of his trousers pock-
ct. The guide looked a. the coin SUSPECT
ously, sized Up both sides of it and then
handed it back to Lord Herscheu
That's Dago money, amt it, sir?" he
asked the member of the Joint High Com
mission
"Why, no. replied Lord Herscheu.
That's an English sovereign-the equiva-
lent of about IS in American money"
THAT so?" said the guide. well, it
don't look exactly right to me. sir, and
I'd rather have the American stuff if
you've il handy"
Lord Herschen then pulled out his wal
let took a new 81 bill therefrom, handed
it to the guide and went his way with a
smile.

THE BATTLESHIP GEORGIA

The President has complmented this
state by ordering that one of the recently
authorized battleships shall be named
Georgia. This honor comes unsolicited.
hence it will be the more appreciated by
the people of the state. The Georgia Is
TO be one of the finest and most powerful
war vessels afloat. She will be above
1900 tons displacement, and carry bat
terry of the most improved guns; in short.
she will be one of the greatest war ves-
sells afloat.
1t is reasonable to assume, of course.
since Atlanta already has a fine and
powerful cruiser named for her. that to
Savannah will come the honor and priv
ilege of providing the fair sponsor who
will otficiate at the naming of the splen-
did Georgia as she glides from the wavs
at the shpyard.

The netired Burglar.

They tell me-" said the retired burglar,
according TO the New York Sun, that
nowadays people put babies in cribs 10
sleep; that they don't rock EN- in cradles
any more, and that may be so. I sup
pose il is; but they used cradles years
ago, when l was younger. l shall never
forget seeing a mother rocking one once,
when I was on one of my professional
visits.
You know, thought l heard somebody
sort of Grooming as l went up the stairs.
and l halted and listened and thought L
could make 1t out; and when l got UP on
the floor above, at the head of the stairs,
l could make il out plainly enough-a
mother singing 70 her child, and 1 could
locate, too, the room that the sound came
from.
THE hall was dark; there was only the
faintest sort of a turned-down light COM
ing from the room where the singing was,
and l thought I could pass the door with
out being seen, because 1 could see her
easy enough right through the wall. bend
ing over the cradle, and it never occurred
to me that she might look up, because I
didn't think she'd hear me, or that she
could see in that light if she did.
But as l was going past the door abso-
lutely uoiseless, but looking in as passed.
l saw her bending over the cradle, as I
had expected. and rocking it with one
hand, but her head now slightly raised,
and, as l could dimly see by the outline
Of her figure in that light, looking across
the cradle toward the door, where I was
passing. And as she looked, stiH rock
ing the cradle with the other, she neld
up her right hand with the palm toward
the door, and the singing was stopped and
she was saying very softly, to whoever
was passing:
'sh-, meaning, don't wake the
babyr
Then I could see when I had tiptoed
past, right through the wall, just as easy
as 1 could before. that right hand drop
ping to the cradle again, or drawing up
the coverlid on the child, perhaps, and
could really hear her grooming again, just
as / had before. Now that l had passed
she paid no more attention to me than if
1 had never existed. Her heart was in
the cradle; and all she asked of anybody
was that they wouldn't wake the baby
Now, what could a man do under such
circumstances? Nothing, 1 reckon, except
what 1 did do. After I had stayed there
in the hall, Athe other side of the door,
a minute I started back; this time she
didn't look up. I have no doubt, if she
saw me or heard me at ALL instinct told
her l was going"

A curious bicycle bill has been intro
duced into the New York Legislature. It
provides, among other things. that when
bicycle rider has been arrested for q
violation of municipal ordinances. the
party arrested may give the arresting Off
Ger his wheel or s. in money as security
for his appearance in court 10 answer the
charge According to the proposed law.
the heaviest penalty which can be i'm
posed for the violation of any bicycle ordj-
nance is 50, hence it would be optional
with the arrested rider whether he would
appear in court TO protest, or to consider
his fine paid when he had given s. to the
policeman as security for his appearance
in court. This being the case, the officer
making the arrest would practically col
lect the fine. 1t can be SEEN therefore
that should the bin be passed. an active
but dishonest policeman might easily
swell his income per day by several times

The Democratic state committee has read
MIN out of the party, many of his former
friends refuse to sit in the same church
with him, and pressure is being brought

King says he voted for Addicks in order to
