BIRTH OF LOVE

For years lived beside thee,
And saw thee day by day;
You often used to chide me;
We quarrcled at our play.
And when, no more as children,
We'd roam and smile and talk.
Good comrades we were ever,
In hunt or dance or walk.
Your micn I saw was gentle;
Your Judgment swift and sure;
Your words were strong, yet humble;
Your thoughts | knew were pure.
And so | called you "brothcr."
Our confidence SO free; -
! ne'er had known another
Who meant so much to me.
/ thought with eyes still steadfasr,
To journey to the end,
Thro' life's bright paths and golden,
Thus holding thee as "fricnd.
But now the scales are fallen,
And JOY all joys above
0, ray direct from heaven,
l know, at last. l love!

Kentucky, years ago, the name Of
dark and bloody ground" The po-
ltcal troubles of the State have been
going on for more than 100 years.
One Of the first duels fought over
politics wa between Cassius NJ. Clay
and Charles Wicklffe. They were both
candidates for Congress. and in their
campaigns they had abused each other
so that Wickliffe called Clay out. They
went to secluded grove near Lexing-
ton, arriving there just as the sun was
rising. Their seconds loaded their pis-
tolls and measured the distance. twenty
PAGES. The principals took their places
and Mt the word fired. Neither was hit.
Again the weapons were loaded and
again the principals fired with the same
result. Clay, who was an excellent pis-
tol shot, declared that the seconds had
played them false and had not loaded
the pistols with ball. so lie refused to
fight further The seconds afterward
admitted that Clay was right, but they
defended their action by saying that
they did not want to see two such
promising young men kill each other,
as they would have been almost certain
to do had the pistols been properly
loaded, for Wickliffe. like Clay, was a
dead shot with n pistol.
About a year after this trouble the
editor Of Lexington newspaper. John
Bennett. began accusing the Wickliffes
on account Of their politics. After sew
eral months the editor fell i'll and a
friand wrote his editOria1S for him Ono

English Tars Are Thrifty.

The men of the English navy are not
by any means the spendthrifts that
they are represented to be by some
writer's; at least not all Of them. There
Is an increasing number who put by
money In the naval savings bank. Ac-
cording to the last return there Is ST.

Jackets in ships books or at the dock
Yards. The number OF depositors Ia
$4,000, 1t will be seen that each man,
on the average, has over $50 to his
credit.

A railroad is projected through the sec
ton east Of the bridge. Passing along, the
Benning region Is reached, which is served
by the Columbia railroad extension, now a
part OF one of the great systems of our city

another branch of the same system, and

One Of the indications of the increase in
building in this District is the pressure
that is now being experienced in the Office
OF the District surveyor on account of ap-
plicattons crowdtng in from people who
want surveys of land in order to determine
the exact lines before building.
Speaking Of the work Of his office Mr..
H. B. LOCKER. the surveyor, said recently:
I'm many cases orders for surveys can be
executed with much greater satisfaction
to all concerned if such orders be left at
my office at the earliest date after the work
Is determined on. This will give me an
opportunity to arrange for 1t several days
ahead of the time when it is really needed
and permit the grouping together Of several
