v.n.is,. ., Washington.


Nearly every tourist who visits
Washington wants TO take away n
souvenir. Souvenir stores In the ma
II, lkicnpifrt arc rs plenty ms saloons.
but your true souvenir hunter wants
something that he has cullcd himself.
BY preference he will hammer. hcw
or slice II OF from some monument or
landmark. That Is why 1t costs Uncle
Sam 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 n good ham,
mcr. IL taken from you and checked.
and Mt the Congressional Library and
Corcornn Art Gallery you are watched
very closely. lest you might get an or.
portunity to use your heels. These
two places are particularly enticing to
the vnndnl. with all their statuary and
carved marble.
Unfortunately the Washington Mon
ument has not been so well guarded,
consequently It is badly Scared by
the depredntions of the souvenir
iicnds. Inside It Is very dim In spots,
the light being supplied by an occa-
slonal incandcscent lamp. along the
stairway. 1t is In this atmosphere that
squares and the blacks of huge
checker board stand the memorial
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 immortalizcd at the ma
tionnl capital. There are more than
$50 of these. and many of them are in
distrcssful condition of mutilntion.
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
thing with them to remember 1t by.
Just exactly what value. real or senti-
mental. the left ear lobe of the God.
dcss of Prosperity, for instance, can
have for any person is hard for sane
nan to understand. Somebody got it,
however.
At Mount Vernon there is a small
army of .spottcrs' on the lookout for
the worker of souvenir iniquity. A
quarter admission is charged and the
money goes TO dcfray the expense Of
guarding the place. In Washington's
DID home there is one thing that strikes
the notice by its contrast to the pre-
vailing simplicity. 1t is the carved
mantclpiecc of Carnra marble in the
dining room. One who is not n van.
dnl cannot gaze upon it without an
atllcmatizing the whole race of relic
seekers. Even with watchers in every
room some individual managed TO get
in his work." and knock Off the head
Of Il galloping deer in the center Of
the group. The animal remained head
less for months. Then one day back
tame the head in Il little box post
marked Paris. The culprit had real
lzcd the evil of his ways, the villainy
Of his vandalism. Said the accom-
panying note. at did not occur to me
in my own country, where everything
is so perfectly preserved, the outrage
that it is to mutilate historic places
for rclice. Here nothing is preserved:
everything is Clipped and 'marred and
broken by travellers like myself. l re-
turn herewith. etc. Signed-not at all.
The head was stuck on, the glue
stained the marble. and the milk white
deer has yellow streak around his
necl.'

is estimated, not less than 5000 more
trckked in from Utah and Idaho. max
ing about 1900 Mormon people In this
section at the present time. More fami-

river. not less tlian G,5OO Mormons.
These people are Industrious. hard
working and progressive and where
they settle churches. schools and fine
buildings rise quickly from the desert
and the lands are made to produce to
their fullest capacity. Not only are
the people building homes for them
selves and rcclaiming thousands Of
acres of land in this section. but they
are engaging in almost every kind OF
work that will bring in n dollar. Dur
ing the spring the Mormons have built
twenty-threc miles Of road on the Ia
