WHY IT IS THE WHITE HOUSE.
How che Hame % the Presidents
mannion "a NaahinRton
Originated.

The question Is often asked why the
presidents mansion az Washington is
called the white house. II has been 80
called for years and years, and now no
one thinks of using any other name. al
though executive mansion is the Off
sial term. The term white house is a
reminder of the second war vith Eng
land. August "a. 1914 the British
army captured Washington and
burned the public buildings. the presi-
dents mansion being among those 70
suffer. II was damaged TO some ex-
tent. and 20 hide the FIRE stains was
painted white. and white it has been
painted every year or two since. The
home OF Washington's mother was
called white house. and this may have
suggested the name. but the fact that
the MANSION was assidnously painted
white after the war ~ 1912 doubtless
brought the term into popular use.

SEARCH FOR MCARTY.-T. M Bower was in Flagstaff Tuesday from Long valley, and says the search for John McCarty still continues, an- nounces the Sun. The following Phoe- nix people are camped at the place from which McCarty disappeared and are as- sisting J. K. Day in the search: T. M
 Bower Cook brothers, J. w. Coverdale, Julius Gowett and Frank Simms. No further trace of McCarty has been found. and the searchers have about de- spaired of finding the missing man.
 A HOT TOWlN.--Though Flags:nff is located in what is supposed to be cool, summer climate her citizens are never theless fond of a little ice in their cock tails The Sun says an ice factory would be a paying investment there, as all the ice now used usually comes from Gallup and Albuquerque. Re- gently this supply has been cut off and all the ice Flagstaff got had to be ob- tained at the ice cave. made famous by the feature stories of the Sunday magazines. The way into the cave is steep and narrow, and the ice can only be obtained In small pieces, although the quantity is seemingly inexhaustible. It is a difficult matter to get the ice out of the cave, and somewhat expensive, the cost being from to cents per pound.
 GOT A FEW BIRDS-Jm Gray stay ed away from Sunday school day before yesterday and so did his father and Robert Friedel They did not have their lesson, anyway, so they thought they would go hunting. They had a hundred shells between them, and when they reached the hunting grounds they divided ammunition and separated the Judge taking ten shells, as he said ten birds was all he wanted. He circled off to the right and soon disposed of his ammunition. having seven birds to his credit Meanwhile he heard a terrific firing off to the left and thought the other boys must be fighting a duel to the death. It sounded like the publish ed account of the little engagement at eGttysburg So he turned his face in the direction of the other hunters and when he reached the place he found the air full of white wings and the boys blazing away in every direction. He got behind a tree for safety and watch ed the birds fall first on one side and then on the other. It was all ever in a few minutes. for the shooters ran out of ammunition before the sport was fairly started. Then they began pick ing up the birds. They had fallen so fast the sportsmen could not keep track of where they went. but they picked up fifty, making fifty seven in all. and as they had meat enough, anyway, they did not look for the rest of them. Their guns are still smoking, but if they are sufficiently cooled off by next Sunday the hunters will go out again, each with a thousand rounds of ammunition.

Verdict Meant Death.

Aldrich, Mo-. May 27th.-Four of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore
of this place, who has been suffering
with severe case of nervousness and
kidney disease. Each of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to use them. and instantly no
ticed a change for the better. Her i'm
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance of
dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely.
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end of talk in
this neighborhood, and all are loud in
their praises of this new remedy
Dodd's Kidney Pills-which is curing
so many hitherto incurable cases. in
this state and elsewhere.

Hymn
(Sung at the completion of the Con-
cord Monument, April 10, 1885,
By the rude bridge that arched the
flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmer stood,
And fired the shot heard round the
world
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which sea-
ward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft
stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are
gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, or leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

tics of the number of foreign born en-
listed men in the United States navy
in the Spanish-American war and at
the beginning of the current fiscal

saiutins Mount Vernon.

A naval officer describes in the
Youths Companion how the United
States dispatch boat Dolphin saluted
Mount Vernon:
The navigator, looking up from his
observation of the chart, turned to-
ward the captain, who was gazing fix
eddy through his binoculars, trying to
make out, or to make use of the nauti-
cal term, to .'pick up buoy which
the ship was nearing.
Mount Vernon is just ahead, sir"
he said.
very well, call all hands to quar-
ters,' was the reply.
Sound to quarters sir" This to
the officer of the deck from the naviga-
tor.
AYE, aye, sir. Bugler, sound to
quarters" rung out the voice of the
young officer who then had the deck.
He was but lately graduated from the
Naval Academy, and the hardships Of
sea life had not yet roughened the
youthful freshness of his voice.
A moments pause, and the assembly
call rung out over the silent current
of the river and echoed back from the
heights above it's banks. The white
pillars of Washington's beautiful home
flashed out through the deep green of
the trees high up above the ship, as the
officers and men, hurrying from all
parts of the vessel, ranged themselves
at their quarters.
Form on the port side, facing out
board," came the sharp order from the
bridge, and later. Sound attention."
The bugle again broke the stiffness.
The Dolphin was now abreast of the
historic home of the first chief magis-
trate of the country; all hands we're
lined up along the port side of the
ship, standing at attention and facing
the shore. AS the order, Salute"
came sharply cut and abrupt from the
bridge, the right hand of every officer
and man was raised to his cap, and
remained there while the ships bell
rung out twenty-one slow, solemn
strokes, one for each gun of national
salute. The venerable mansion, with
the white pillars of its porch like gil
gantic sentinels on guard, looked down
from the heights through framework
of majestic trees to the river below.
AS an old gray-bearded patriarch re-
ceives the homage of youth, SO this dig
niffed monument to the first head of
the government seemed to receive the
passing salute of the representative of
the government of today. With the
last stroke of the bell came the order,
Sound the retreat" The bugle an
swered and as the last note came back
from the shore, Mount Vernon disap-
peared behind the green of the trees.
Every vessel of war of the United
States passing the home of Washing

How few of those that talk OF the
marriage knot" realize that the knot
was ever anything more than a mere
figure of speech. Among the Babylo-
mans tying the knot was part of the
marriage ceremony. There the priest
took a thread of the garment of the
bride and another from that of the
bridegroom and tied them into a knot,
which he gave to the bride, thus SYM
bolizing the binding nature of the un-
ion between herself and her husband
