QUESTION: of Extra Charges.

Mr.. R. A. Hales Of 1926 18th street north
east, who recently complained to the Dis
trict Commissioners of alleged extra
charges made by the express companies
for goods delivered outside of the city linn
it's, subsequently wrote the Commissioners
asking whether it was an order or a re-
quest of the Commissioners or an act of
courtesy on the part of the express COM
panies which caused them to begin the de-
livery of goods without extra charge in
Mt Pleasant several years ago. Mr.. Hales
also inquired how the present city limits
can be extended.
In reply the Commissioners have inform
ed Mr. Hales that if the express Companies
deliver goods in MT. Pleasant without ex-
ira charge 1t was of the companies own
yolition and not because of any reouirc
ment by the Commissioners. The civ
limits. explain the Commissioners, can be
extended only by IN act of Congress-

AN AMATEUR GARDENER.
His Experience with Street Sweep
ings n Fertilizer.

"Your yard needs fertilizing." said the
man next door, as his neighbor was hoeing
up patch of weeds and giving struggling
rose bush chance to spread.
"Fertilizing?" replied the man. in a high
pitched, querulous tone, as he stopped a
moment and wiped the perspiriation away.
What kind of fertilizer do you recon-
mend?"
why, the street sweepings are the best
l know of, and they are cheap, too. Tell
you what you do said the man across the
fence, getting confidential. "Give one of
the cart drivers quarter and he will stop
by the gate and give you load. 1t comes
in sacks, you know, and it is an easy mat
ter to transfer it and spread 1t where you
like
That's a bully idea,' rejoined the anna
teur florist I'm dig up the yard and turn
under couple of loads of the sweepings.
The next day the yard was dug up and
there came very near being a family quar-
rel. The amateur gardeners wife, when
she came home and saw her yard all dug
up, was mad and would not be comforted.
The sweepings came the same afternoon
and the amateur labored industriously TO
get them turned under. To square matters
with his wife he decided to leave for his
vacation a week earlier, and after sowing
a pound of English lawn seed took his de-
parture, extracting promise from his
neighbor to keep the yard watered while
he was away.
The above happened in July. Yesterday
the amateur gardener returned He hur-
rted to the back yard to view his velvety
lawn. What a transformation met his
eye! There was waving oats, towering
corn, rye, wheat, timothy-a regular farm
in miniature. He thought he was dreaming
and called his wife.
''HaI' Dit was one of those mean, irritable
ha s woman knows how to utter when she
finds she is right after alp Il told you
so. You couldn't expect anything else. II
you had consulted me- instead of that old
fool next door 1t would have been differ
ent. That's pretty mess. If you don't
get man to dig that yard up this very
day L shall go back to the country
The amateur gardener took his wife's adj
vice. There still few sprigs of wheat
to be seen and the garlick is still coming.
There is also a GOODNESS between the anna
teur gardener and his next door neighbor.

Has Sailed for Lcghorn.
The Navy Department was notified to-
day that Admiral Dewey had sailed from
Naples for Leghorn. The department has
no information as to the length of the ad-
mirals stay at the latter port nor has il
any reason to suppose that any change
has been made in his itinerary. Nothing
has beer heard from him on that subject
beyond the statement that he expects to
reach New York during the latter part of
September. All the arrangements being
made here and in New York are held up
subject to definite information as to the
date of his arrival there. In several of his
commune atoms to the reception commit

nitcly the date of his probable arrival at
New York when he reaches Gibraltar.

Unlicensed Dogs.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Through your valuable paper 1 would like
to make a few inquiries
Has the dog-catching outfit gone out of
business in this city?
Has the police department ceased to COM
pol dog owners to buy dog tags?
The reason l ask these questions is that
tonight while 1 occupied a seat in nv front
yard, l saw four homeless CANNES. of the
female gender, wandering up and down
the street Now, these waits of dogdom
are the means of spreading hydrophobia
during the hea ted period, and our beautiful
city should be kept free from pests of that
kind, and the branch of the District gov
eminent that looks after those things
should be brushed up. 1t is the same all
over the city. Take a tour in all parts and
you will find any number of untagged dogs
roaming around, a menace to all If the
law was enforced there would be ample
funds derived from the 81 tax on the some
thing over 5000 dogs to keep the CITY free
from the pests that now exist. The police
at one time took an active interest in see
ing that all owners had tags for the dogs
they kept, and by so doing kept the number
down, for when a person pays a tax on a
dog it is generally a better dog than the
one he can keep without expense. The law
should be enforced 1t would not entail
much extra work to the police to have
them see that all dogs on their beats
We're properly licensed and any who would
not obey the law should be compelled to
or part with their CANNES
l am dog owner myself, and always
have tag of the latest vintage. l consider
my dog property, and always have as good
a dog as possible. l do not allow my dog
to annoy any one. as feel as a taxpayer,
l am personally responsible for that dog S
good behavior. | think all taxpaying dog
owners think as / do. 1t is the unlicensed
cur and homeless canine that makes the
night hideous and the day dangerous in
large city | hope this item will come TO
the notice of the powers that be, and some
measures will be taken to suppress the
nuisance of an over-SupDly of dogs.

the Capitol with electric lights? For such
a purpose it is the most magnificent dome
in the world, and probably the farthest
seen. The lights could be made to follow
all it's beautiful lines
Nor need such an illumination go out
with that night. The arrangement might
be permanent, ready for another outburst
on occasion-and there will be long series
of national occasions-but its distinguish
ing memory would always be that the thing
was first done to celebrate Dewey's return.
