Mr.. Thompson's Suggestion.

Another letter, which has received the
approval of the encampment officials, was
received from Maj. Gilbert Thompson of
the United States geological survey, who
wrote:
II beg leave to make the suggestion that
you take such measures as may be neces-
sary so that. as far as local arrangement g
may go, at least, complete file collection
be made of all printed matter, badges and
medals. and presented to the Washington
City Public Library for permanent record
and preservat tion.
1T would be of additional interest and
value II railroad folders and other simiIa :
publications be included. If the secretsrv
would lay aside one of each as received for
this purpose such collection could be made
without much trouble or time.''

Things that Need Improving.

We are dreadfully slow in some

ward. The average speed Of railroad
trains Is but little higher than it was
half a century ago; we are using the
same style Of locomotives, cars, rails,
and ties. The piano Of today makes
no better music than the cabinets"
Cottages" ''piccolOs," and other
brands of early years of the nineteenth
century. They are cheaper; that is
about all. The same general style Of
instrument prevails. A double piano,
with two keyboards reversed. giving
remarkable effects, was played on at
the Convent Garden Theater in 1878
and then forgotten. The ancients slept

dred other maladies were unknown.

When the House is in session the goose"
Is planted on top of a marble pedestal at
the right OF the Speakers desk. As
soon as the House adjourns or is "resolv-
ed into committee Of the whole" the
Mace comes down from the pedestal.
The most terrifying office Of the goose,
however, is that OF preserving order. AZ
ter the Speaker has exhausted his good
right arm in rapping with his ivory gavel
for silence. after he has yelled his larynx
raw. calling for ''order.' he orders the
sergeant-at-arms to bring forth the awe
inspiring emblem OF authority. The SER

self, grabs the goose by the throat and
bears down upon the offending member.
By the time he reaches the Obstreperous
Congressman's seat, that rp-roaring
statesman. who but a moment before was
filing the atmosphere with birthstone,
slides into his chair and becomes meeker
than a lamb.
Exactly what would happen to the
member who defied the goose is not def
nitely known. 1t is the general belief
that he would be blasted by Jones light
wings. Jerry Simpson. the sockless of
Kansas, who was the last to invoke the
Mace, came nearer destruction than any
other member in history.
Take that buzzard away" he cried as
the sergeant-at-arms advanced with the
goose" before him.
But Jerry wilted before the sergeant
reached him.
'By the authority vested in me by the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, you are now under arrest.' Is
what the sergeant-at-arms would say If
the offending member continued in his
defiance. Then, it is said, the disturber
could be summarily fired from the
House.
