SEES H.. and in its native Egypt had
been preserved 5000 years. During
the score Of years In New York 1t has
suffered more disintegration than dur
Ing the 5000 years previous. and al
present the world deplores the fact
that 1t Is rapidly crumbling to atoms
There Is not a building In the grea,
metropolis that offers sufficient accom-
modati0ns to the gift of the Khedive OF
Egypt to America. A glass case built
over 1t would not preserve It. but late

Milan. Each issue was supposed to

Milan always ordered duplicates from

One of the leading lawyers Of the

Hahn was as good IN amateur actor as

was the leading man in u company
headed by Mayor james Richardson,
now Of Connecticut. and Mat" StrOup.
now Of Aberdeen. n. ID.
1t was twenty years ago that this
locally famous aggregation gave an
English drama. Mr.. Hahn played the
part of an idle vagabond-the ne'er-do-
we'll son Of n squire, who had through
evil associates been accused OF crime.
The last act was a court scene In which
the prisoner was convicted and sentenc-
ed to penal scrvitude for life. Mayor
Richardson was the judge and Mr..
StrOup was counsel for the defense.
The house was crowded. and as was
usual. the nearby country had sent in
a fair delegation Of farmers ana their
families. The lawyer made stirring
plea for mercy. which vlsibly excite d
the audience.
"A good lad, your honor" he pleaded,
"and honest. too; good to his parents

with admirable presence Of mind, and
while the farmers friends restored
peace sentence was pronounced and the
curtain fell.

A CHARMING PICTURE


In Mondays issue of the Pittsburg
Dispatch appears a charming picture
of three Marietta children. Last sum
mer a representative of the Pittsburg
Dispatch was travelling through this
section taking photographs of inter-
esting places, people and property. In
the course of his rambles he visited
Marietta, and crossing over to the
West Side, came upon three children
who were playing in the sand. Struck
by their picturesque appearance, he
took their photograph, meanwhile
making the promise that the picture
would appear in the Dispatch some
time during the summer. The child
rem saved up their pennies and for ov-
er month bought every Dispatch and
eagerly looked over the paper for their
picture. Finally in disappointment
they gave up their search. By chance
Mondays issue of the Dispatch hap
pened to fall into their hands, and
what a surprise was in store for them
when they discovered the long expect
ed and much priced picture. The
children were naturally much elated
over seeing their picture in the paper,
and feel just little better than their
other small friends who were not thus
honored.
The three children are Mary and
Harry Buchert, son and daughter of F.
G. Buchert, and little Leslie Robb.
Probably no beauty ever rejoced
more in flattering newspaper cut of
herself than do these three little Ma
rietta hopefuls in their pictures.

SECRETARY HEATH
Talks on the Subject Of Permanent RGpub'

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 14.-Perry
Heath, Secretary of the Repub-
lhcan Committee, just before
leaving for the west on a
two weeks hunting trip, discussed the
question of permanent headquarters
for the National Committee Imme-
diately after Mr.. Heath's return to
Washington he will open temporary
headquarters of the National Com
mittee in that city. He said it has
not been decided as yet to make Wash
ington headquarters permanent. In
an interview he said: "There is a
feeling that we ought to have in con-
stant operation in Washington a bur-
eau of current history that shall keep
a clear record of the attitude of the
party in Congress and of the acts of
the administration. If we had done
that last year we should not have had
to consume so much time this fall in
explaining the benefit, for example, of
such a measure as the new currency
law. We could have kept the people,
through the medium Of the press, in
formed as to the merits of the dieifrent
new measures"
