Once there was Man named Alexander
who lived in a Town that vibrated with
Excitement for a full Week after a Dona-
ton Party of a School Exhibition. Most of
the Town seemed to be waiting for a
High Wind to come along and give it a
fare-ye-well Lift, but there were two
Brick Blocks with red Galvanized Iron
Cornices and a gingerbread Court House
that had put the rural Taxpayers into
the Hole for 200 Years to come.
When a Stranger happened along every
one who lived there told him 1t was a Nice
Little Town for fear that he wouldn't be
able to find ii out for himself.
Alexander owned Plant in this Town
and by Close Figuring he had succeeded
in getting enough of the hateful Rhino
TO enable him to build large pink-and-
yellow House with more than $1,000 worth
of jigsaw Scallops tackled all over it. The
Wife of Alexander was Elvra, and their
Daughter was Farina, the Name having
been found in a Cookbook.
When the Family sat on the Piazza of
their Palatial Home the Sun got into

Washington. May 3.-On the eastern out
skirts of Washington, where the city,
struggling over the commons and vacant
squares, halts at the edge of the marshes
of the Anacosta river, stands the old
Congressional Cemetery, with its eight
score cenotaphs, memorials of departed
statesmen. Years ago the tide of popula-
ton surged westward and northwan
overrunning the salubrious highlands of
those sections, and establishing its burial
grounds in the new regions. But this little
city of the dead was left alone in the de-
serted quarter, with the Jail, the aims
house and the workhouse for neighbors.
In it are 100 cenotaphs to dead con-
gressmen, stretching in monotonous rows
through the cemtery,' all of them. with
two exceptions, of a uniform shape and
size, and erected at government expense
to the memory of the governments dead

the actual burying place of the defunct
statesmen, but Others like those com

Adams, Thaddeus Stevens and others,

guished names. Since 1876, the practice of
erecting cenotaphs, begun in 1896, has been
abandoned.

1905. its projectors thought it would be a
