The poetry editor reached into one
of the drawers of his carved mahogany
desk and drew forth a small book of
pale pink checks. Seizing diamond
incrusted pen he hastily dashed off a
check for $4,000 and handed it over to
the intellectual looking man.

Then the intellectual looking man
fell out Of bed with such a resounding
bump that the landlady rushed up to
his garret room aud notified him that
he'd have to seek other quarters if he

II you have been unfortunate enough
to buy home situated remote from
the comforts of life and are ever for
tunate enough to sell, come to North
east Washington and we will put you
in close touch with the good things OF
this life.
Do you suffer from
Poor roads?
Poor sidewalks?
Poor police protection?
Poor fire protection?
Poor social surroundings?
Poor church advantages?
Poor municipal government?
II so, your symptoms indicate that
a change would be desirable. Relief
from all the above troubles may be
had in Northeast Washington.
Respectfully,
LoRING CHAPEL,
S22 IL st. n Z.
Note We have known Mr. Chapel for
a number of years aud it is no disparag-
ment to other men Of ability in North
east Washington, neither is it any re-
Election on them to say that he stands
out conspicuously as the one man
whose opinion is most frequently
sought and most highly valued.
He came to the Northeast section Of
Washington in 1872 with $1,000,
which he invested there and he has
resided in the same locality contin-
uously ever since,
His faith in the section and it's fu-
ture was strong in 1872, and it has
continued uniuterruptedly ever since,
being to-day stronger than eye-.
He has built more than one hundred
and twenty 6ye and possibly as many
as one hundred and fifty houses in
the Northeast section, and they have
Rll been we'll built, substantial struc-
lures that have found ready sale.
He is one of the largest if not the
largest holder of real property in his
section, and a man whose word no one
disputes.
He is a member Of the Board Of
Trade and an active member of the
Northeast Washington Citizens' Asso-
citation, besides being connected with
other organizations that make for
progress.
His success has not warped his
judgment, so that parties seeking his
advice can rely absolutely on what he
says. Suburban people who for any
cause desire to make Il change will
find in the reflections over Mr..
ChappeI's signature much food for
thought and VIC commend them to our
readers, T Editor Suburban Citizen. ]

Establishing Chain of Evidence.

AS stated recently the brothers Ut
ter of Amitz. N. Y, have got into
snarl because bees belonging to one
had ruined peaches belonging to the
other while searching for honey. The
beekeeper claimed that it could not be
proved that his bees were the Offend
ers, but his brother has ingeniously
overcome this difficulty. The bees
were first caught extracting juice from
the peaches and were caught in
wire gauze trap. Then he let them
through a trapdoor into a place sup
piled with dish of honey. When the
insects had eaten as much as they
wanted they began to look for an exit,
and in doing so crawled over liberal
sprinkling of flour, which stuck to
them. When thoroughly coated they
were released and all flew straight for
Brother Utters hives, thus establish
ing complete chain of evidence. TIE
beekeeper, however, declines to give
in and will fight the damage suit.

An interesting Anecdote About a Cap
tive Canadian.
A. D. Bartlett, son of the late su.
perlntendent of the London Zoo, hal
an interesting story of captive Ca
madam beaver A large willow tree
In the gardens had blown down. A
branch about twelve feet long and
thlrty inches in circumference was
firmly fixed in the ground in the beav-
er's Enclosure. Then the beaver was
watched to see what he would do. The
beaver soon visited the spot, and.
walking around the limb, commenced
TO bite Off the bark and gnaw the wood
about twelve inches from the ground.
Inc rap1dity of his progress was as
tonlshlng. He seemed to put hit
whole strength into his task, although
ne left off every few minutes to rest
ana look upward, as if to determine
which way the tree would fall. Now
ana then he went into his pond, which
was about three feet from the base OF
the tree. Then he would come out
again with renewed energy, and his
powerful teeth would set at work anew
upon the branch. About o'clock, to
the surprise of those who saw him, he
lett his work and came hastily toward
the iron fence. The cause of this sud-
den movement was soon apparent. He
mad heard in the distance the sound
OF the Wheelbarrow, which was brought
daily to his paddock, and from which
ne was anxiously expecting his sup
per. The keeper, not wishing to dis
appoint the beaver, although sorry to
see his task interrupted, gave him his
usual allowance of carrots and bread
The fellow ate it, and was seen swim
ming about the pool until about $3.50
Ihen ne returned to his work. In ten
minutes the tree fell to the ground

PAwNEE ROCK.
Historic Indian Battle Spot Disappear
ing Year After Year

Historic Indian Battle Spot Disappear.
ing Year After Year
Nine miles northeast of Larned
Kan, is low, disintegrating pile of
red sandstone, which is all that is
now left of the once imposing Pawnee
rock. This rock, which received it's
name from the tribe of Indians known
as the Pawnees, has an interesting his
tory-a history acquired during the
time when this part of the country
was a wild and dreary desert, inhabit-
ed only by the Indians and herds of
roaming buffalo. On this rock have
been Waged many bloody conflicts be-
tween the Indians and travellers of the
famous Santa Fe trail, and also be-
tween the different tribes of plains In
dians. Surrounded by vast prairies
with the trail running along it's base.
1t afforded good hiding place and
battle ground for the savages. In it's
primitive state Pawnee rock rose to
a considerable height, and from it's
summit beautiful panorama spread
before the lover of nature, and eve1
now, from it's reduced height, can be
seen for miles a widespread landscape.
Comparatively little remains to be
seen of that once imposing promon-
tory of the Kansas desert" for the
hand of man has done more in twenty
years to efface it from the earth than
the elements in centuries of time. The
material obtained by the destruction
of this landmark of the early days, is
used in the construction of dwellings,
bridges, etc., by the inhabitants in the
fertile valleys surrounding this spot.

Italian Electric Cartridges.

An electric cartridge has been in
vented by an Italian electrician which
is offered as substitute for dynamite
and smokeless powder in mining, rock
blasting and for heavy ordnance. Ac-
cording to United States Consul
Hughes, of Coburg, the composition
used in the cartridge is made up Of
carbonates of potash and chloride of
ammonia, the proportion varying ac-
cording to the use. The discharge is
effected by an electrical spark, which
produces electrolytic effects upon the
chemicals. The inventor claims that
the cartridges, until subjected to the
effect of electricity, are entirely in
offensive and perfectly safe; so that
there will be no necessity for isolating
the magazines where they are stored
