so the damage hardly showed.
They also owned a large glass aqua
rum. filed with pretty pebbles and
grasses, with minnows. tadpoles and
water insects. They had read Water
Babies" with great interest. and knew
as much as the author OF these deni-
zens OF the earth, air and sky. As
they grew older, all over the place they
found and named beautiful spots where
they played, worked and dreamed
away the bright summer days. Down
in the grove long rock ledge they
called Sofa Rock" made grand seat
where they could lie and imagine all
sorts OF wonderful things. Then
there was Fairy Knoll" full OF wild
flowers; and Sycamore Hail." under
whose waving branches they would tell
and listen to marvellous tales. But
Boulder Glen" was the best OF all, for
there the beautiful spring called 10"
ran clear and cool, and they never tired
OF listening to the story OF how In
revolutionary times "Morgan's men
met there, and the soldiers agreed to
meet on the spot again when they re-
turned. Years after only three Of the
company came to the meeting-piace.
1t was in this beautiful and historic
spot they had their picnics, gathering
watercresses from the shady banks and
eating delicious lunches out of Aunt

They paused beside the paling fence
for the family to say farewell to dear
kitty" and then proceeded to their
cemetery.
Indoors these little Virginians had
a lovely old cabinet with brass knobs
to the drawers and here were arranged
on soft cotton wonderful collection
of birds eggs. bright wings and but
terflies. Some of the eggs were from
the South-sea guile. alligator and
heron, which Viola insisted on pro-

One day the children's grandma

grounds OF Valley Forge, where Wash
ington and his men passed the bitter
winter of 1777-7S. A small portion of
of Pennsylvania. and the well pre-
served brick building in which Wash
ington had his headquarters is now
owned and cared for by a patriotic
body formed at the centennial of VAL
ley Forge. but the larger and equally

The intrenchments and other historic
landmarks are gradually vanishing. II
is desirable that the whole tract be
acquired by the national government
and be forever preserved as national
park. as in the case of the Chickamau-
ga and Gettysburg battlefelds.
1t is a curious fact that the move
ment to preserve historic grounds OF
this kind at the national expense has
come only since the civil war. The
idea seems to have started from the
great cemeteries where so many of the
soldiers Of the civil war lie buried
near where they fell. The extension
Of the reservation to include the whole
field OF conflict and TO preserve its his
toric landmarks under federal author
ity was a natural step from this begin
ming. At last il has dawned upon the
people that il may be we'll TO extend
the same process to the more import
ant revolutionary battlefelds. Private
associations and city or state govern
ments have done some good work in
this direction, but IL is only Of recent
years that the plan for national reser-
walton has had any serious considera-
ton.
There has been talk OF making such
a park of the historic grounds at Sara
toga, where Burgoyne surrendered to
Gates. The proposition to preserve the
Valley Forge tract is one that appeals
still more strongly to the imagination
OF the patriotic American, for the suf-
ferings OF that terrible winter tested
the nerve OF Washington and OF his
patriots even more severely than the
dangers of battle. IL is strange that
the idea OF reserving this spot was not
acted upon a century ago. when the
whole tract could have been bought
for a trife. Ii should be bought now
and guarded as sacredly as Mount Yer
non.

Rumor That She Would Be Taken
 or Run Strongly Denied

The usual canards about steamers being withdrawn from the Seattlo-Skagway run during the winter are again being circulated. Yesterday some miscroant sprung the oft-repeated stale proposition that the flyer Dolphin would be with drawn from the run tho first of next month. and would be laid up until the season of next year.
 Frank E. Burns. of the Alaska Steam ship Company. was asked by many II this was correct and he started out to trace the person. going from one to the other of those who had been heard to make the remark. No one was guilty and last night he strongly denied that there was any intention to pull the Dol phIn on the run. even for one trip. He pointed out how the Dolphin was the only flyer on the route last winter and said emphatically that she would be on the run this winter

 When the train stopped at the depot. Deputy Marshal Shook went up to the car window where Scott was hurling he must keep quiet.
 Scott evidently did not know who Shook was. or did not care whoop. and ad- dressed few steamboat terms to the officer.
 It didn't take Johnnie very long to act and the first thing Scott knew he was under the protecting wing of the United States official who conducted to the bus of the Grand hotel and bundled him on to the hotel de Shook.
