Nearly every tourist who visits
Washington wants to take away
souvenir. Souvenir stores in the ma
tional capital are as plenty ms saloons,
but your true souvenir hunter wants
something that he has culled himself.
BY preference he will hammer, hew
or slice it Off from some monument or
landmark. That is why it costs Uncle
Sam a fortune to guard his treasures
of history. wonder and beauty. What
ever public building you enter, your
cane, umbrella, or whatever you may
have that would make good ham
mer, Is taken from you and checked.

consequently it is badly SCARED by

vandalism fiourishes. Like white

slabs presented by the states in the
Union at the time OF the monuments
erection. and by the societies and or
ganizations of the nation wishing their
names to be immortalized at the ma
tional capital. There are more than
$50 of these, and many of them are in
distressful condition of mutilation.
Missing heads, arms, legs and drapery
from statuary bear eloquent witness
to the appreciation of visitors who
were so favorably impressed with the
monument that they couldn't tear
themselves away without taking some

thusiasm, started out after a country
order.
Happening to arrive at the village on

that the man himself was at the cello
bration mile out of town. At once he
set out for the spot, and reached the
ground just in time to see his shopkeep-
erclimb into balloon procured for spe-
cial ascensions.
The man of trade was equal to the oc-
casion. He stepped forward, paid his
fare and climbed into the car. Away
