RELIC-P1LFER1NG MINISTER'S.
They Chip Pieces Off the Washington
Monument and Pay Well
for Them.

= Col. Bingham, superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, who has
charge of the Washington monument,
says one of the greatest troubles the
watchmen at the monument have to
contend with is the chipping of these
memorial stones by relic hunters. Zone
OF the strangest things in regard to
these relic hunters said Col. Bingham,
lis the fact that more than one-half of
the men arrested for chipping off relics
are clergymen. When the police arrest
these despoilers and start with them
to the station house, says the New
York Mail and Express, the man will
begin to ask what is the penalty and try
to beg off. He is told that the fine is a
heavy one. but that SIS security can
be put up for appearance in the police
court. Then the prisoner explains that
he is a minister Of the Gospel and meant
no harm, and, that he could not stand!
the disgrace Of appearing il a police
court. He ends up by giving up the,
collateral, after generally trying to cut
it down to ten dollars, saying he has
only that amount with him."

FIRST FLOWER MISSION
The Sweet Charity Was Instituted IL
Boston Thirty Years Ago by
Helen Tinlham.

To the inspiration of Miss Helen w.
Tinkham, of Boston, the missions for
the distribution of flowers among the
poor, the sick and the aged in our cit
les owe their origin. Thirty years ago
the first flower mission was formed.
with Miss Tinkham at it's head, and
she has ever since been identified with
the work, says Ladies' Home Journal.
In the spring of 1869 Miss Tinkham
spent few days in the country, re-
joicing in the flowers that burst into
fragrant bloom under the magical
breath Of April. Upon returning to
Boston she observed with what visit
full eyes the children playing about the
railroad station viewed the flowers she
brought with her, and how eagerly they
accepted those she offered them. This
incident led her to urge the church
going people to cooperate in collect
ing and distributing flowers. A meet
ing was held and the work soon start
ed. Boston is, therefore, the birthplace
of the flower missions, form of chart
ty which has extended to every section
of this country, and crossed the Allan
tic.

ELIZABETH THOMPSON.
Passing Of the Only Woman Ever
Granted Freedom of Floor
In Congress,

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, whose
death at eLittleton, N. H., was an
nounced recently, was born in Vermont
in 1921, being the daughter of poor
farmer. She began life as maid of
all work, but in 1843 she attracted the
attention of Thomas Thompson, Bos-
ton millionaire, to whom she was mar
ried in 1914. He was man of markedly
philanthropic character, and when his
estate came into her hands at his death
in 1869 she followed his example in
contributing freely to all worthy chart
tiesy says the Boston Transcript.
She spent large sums in the cause of
temperance and expended fortune in
helping heads of families who had met
with misfortune. She devoted SIC, 1000
to the investigation of yellow fever.
She spent nearly 100000 in providing
openings in business for men with fam
lilies. She founded the town of Long
Mont, at the foot of the Rocky noun
tains, giving 648 acres of land and $500
to each colonist in Saline county, Kan,
and contributed largely to the purchase
Of the Vassar college telescope.
Later she presented Francis B. Car
penter's painting of the "signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation by Lin
coln'' to congress, for which she was
granted the freedom of the floor, a
right which no other woman possessed.
She contributed large sums to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science and was made it's first
patron: She was a strong advocate of
the idea of an international republic.
She was attacked by a stroke of paraly-
sis several years ago and had been in
delicate health since that time.

BIRTH OF A FASHION PLATE
Modern Art q Libel on Women,s Tn ste
Which All True Men
( Must Resent

All! for the good old times when ar
lists, real artists, could be persuaded
to design costume. One of the prin-
clPa1 items Of expense to lady of old
Italy used to be the Retainer" she paid
to Da Vinci, a Bramante, or some
other artist of note, to furnish her with
design for her court and other dresses
OF ceremony, says Self-Culture.
To-day some one who can draw is
given an idea by costumer-thatis is, by
some one who has made or cut dresses
under some other costumer's tetelage.
Neither one has studied or cares aught
for art, proportion, harmony, or the
other superfuities; they are CO.'S
tuners; what have they to do with
such details? A wonderful Assem- blage
OF ideas is the result, CONNECTION in
silks, satins, chiffons and laces. These
ideas and materials are beautifully and
painfully drawn upon paper and draped
upon an alleged female figure at least
seven feet tall, with head slightly
turned, auburn hair, sylphlike waist,
stage smile and a background of
palms and ferns.
This drawing being reproduced upon
thousands and thousands of sheets, 10!
fashion plate is born, with the name
of the great designer in the left-hand
corner, the password, the hall mark!
Every woman, or rather, nearly every
woman, studies it, admires it, and, be
she lean or fat, tall or short, her next
dress must be like that. Pehchance her
dressmaker has not signed her soul
away entirely and protests feebly that
that special style is not adapted to her
patrons particular figure; but for her
effrontery she may lose customer.
That dress has to be made in that way
and in none other,

A WORLD OF TROUBLE,
What Gave the Economical Apart
ment House Manager q Case
Of the Blues,

The manager of the apartment house,
a well-fed, well-featured, well-dressed
man, was standing in the main door
way of his establishment, which, by the
way, is owned by an out-of-town cap
italist, who is not the most generous
provider in the world and insists upon
the fiat being conducted upon the
most economical lines. The manager
was not happy, however fair he may
have appeared to the eye, and he heaveI
a long-drawn sigh as q friend ap-
preached and greeted him, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
"What's wrong?" inquired the new
conner.
"Oh, we've all got our troubles" was
the vague and lugubrious reply.
"You oughtn't to have any,
"But I have, just the same"
''What, for instance?'
*Well, I'm worried, sick because I
haven't got an elevator boy
"There shouldn't be any difficulty in
removing that trouble, should say"
There is. I've tried 40 and can't get
one to suit
you must be very hard to please"
1T isn't that sighed the manager.
I'm all right, but it's this way. The
old man insists on having the elevator
boy wear uniform and he furnishes it.
Uniforms cost money, and when the
last boy retired he left brand-new
uniform, and the old man won't get
another. That's the rub. 1 can find
plenty OF boys of sufficient intelligence,
ample experience, industrious habits,
good moral character and fine address,
but I'll be darned if can get one that
the uniform will fit, and there you have
IT. Now what the dickens am to do?
Amt that enough trouble for any one
