ARMY OFFICER SAVED
SHAFT FROM FALLING

Ii there is man in the world who
might restore the placidity of Venice,
Wnlch mas been SO disturbed by the
falI OF the Campanile and the precari-
Gus condition of the other famous
types of architecture, he is the new
American major general who is short
~ to relieve Chaffee of the Philippine
command. For it was George w. Da-
Wis who saved the Washington monu-
ment from destruction, and by the
application of his ingenuity solved
fundamental problems in his UNIQUE,
of-hand manner that had bafffed the
highest engineering skill of modern
times.
After the great shaft to the father
OF his country had risen slowly to the
height of 1877 feet and rested there like
a rough factory chimney, an unfin-
1shed eyesore for twenty years, Con-
gress determined to complete it and
gave the job to the army Built on
the edge of the Potomac marsh, as I'M

KANSAS BOOM TOWNS
NOW FARMING LAND.

In almost every county in the state
there are one or more lost towns. In
the early days towns which were ex-
pected to become great cities were
projected, and in some instances be-
came thriving communities. Now they
are nothing but cornfields or prairie
land A county seat fight may have
wiped them out of existence. A rail-
road may have come through and To-
Gated new town a few miles away.
and the first town have been moved
bodily to the railroad.
In the western counties towns were
projected during the boom days which
were heavily bonded. Waterworks
plants were built and other public i'm
provements were made All that is
left OF some such towns now are water
pipes buried in the ground with the
MIGRANTS sticking up here and there
on the prairie.
A short distance from Fort Riley
stand the ruins of the first capitol
building OF Kansas. Around it in 1854
was built the city of Pawnee. Nothing
marks the site now except the old
ruins of the capitol building.

smart to learn, femme tell you.
Up to Routt county, Colorado,

hunters passin' hathaway last fall.
In the evenin's they set about the
camp singin' an tnere was some man

party was scairt out by snakes that
crept into camp to hear the music,
