Thoroughfare in Front of Court House
 Uttered With Paper.

Uttered With Paper.
 There must be some very negligent people living i'll the vicinity of the court house, or else they are not aware that it is a violation of the law to throw papers into the street Tie court house lawn, standing on the cor ner of Leavenworth street and Ker- drick avenue, appears to be the meet- ing place for all the loose papers in the neightborhood. Generally the pa- pers come racing down KendiiclS ave- nue. However, they gather on the lawn and spin around and dance in the air and cut up all manner of ca- pers until horse is seen approaching when they rush toward it and start it on the run. But for the firemen who are always on the alert on the opposite corner many a serious runa- way would have started from the court house simply on account of the danc- ing, spinning, whirling papers that come up Kendrick avenue.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.--Washing-

Mrs. Roosevelt in issuing invitations

White House invariably uses a card
which bears the inscription "Mrs

Fhis is something which has abso-

simply their last name, no initial. no

perplexed beyond measure on account
OF this custom.

this custom. and on Que occasion she

1t Is known that this fad was dts-
cussed at the weekly meetings which
the Cabinet ladies' hold with Mrs.
Roosevelt. and the mistress OF the
White House expressed strong disap-
proyal OF the practice. For the last
three weeks it has been noted that all
of Mrs Roosevelt's cards bear her
husbands name. This Is an innovation
for Presidents wife. These ladies
have always asserted the prerogative
Of being Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. Harri-
