HIS SINS FORGIVEN.
Boss Shspherd's Return to Wash
ington Pleases the People.
He naA the Capital Three Years and
AaAs . C1ty of It-Congress
Oustsa Hin In 1S74 and He
Went to Mexico.

"Boss" Shepherd is coming back to
Washington. He has made a great
fortune in the silver mines Of Mex
leo, and returns to his native city
to spend his remaining days In peace.
He il 81 years of age, and enjoys the
distinction Of being the best loved
and best hated man that the capital
city ever knew.
Alexander H. Shepherds name will
live in history as the originator OF
the new Washington. After all is
said and done, the work of the ex-
perts who have planned the future
Washington as a city of delight had
the basis Of "Boss" Shepherds work
t. 60 upon. That il how he derived
his sobriquet of "boss." For three
years he was the absolute ruler of
Washington, and in that time spent
$4O,0O0,000 in making it what 1t is to-
day.
Alexander II. Shepherd, says the
Philadelphia Press, is a native of
Washington. He was born in the
"fats" January 13, 1888. His parents
were in ordinary circumstances. His
ancestors for $50 years had lived in
this country; some Of them fought
In the revolutionary war. Shepherd
himself was for a time q soldier in
the late war. His father became
well-to-do before his death, which
enabled the boy to obtain q pretty
fair education. He entered Column
bian university. But the executor OF
the estate, it is said, stole the money
and young Alexander started to learn
d trade 20 help support the family.
Then he became shoe salesman, and
later learned to be n plumber and
gas filter. Within eight years Of en-
tering his apprenticeship he was
partner. Within the next ~ years
he had built more than 400 houses
In Washington.
His prominence in business led him
into politics. He was q member of

Timely suggestisns Ter Dsginnbss n
Beekeeping WAe Don't rAank
They Knew Il ALI.

The best queens I ever owned were
Italians, evenly colored, very bright
golden, and of good size. Beware Of
the waspish, tapering queen that
shows one or two golden bands ana
the rest of the body very dark. They
Ire not so prolific as solid golden
queens and were not SO good workers
in my apiary. Moreover, they were
ready to fight at every opportunity.
l prefer even color first, build next,
and the more golden the better.
Some beekeepers make q great ado
IL anything is mentioned about q
different sized hive or section from
the one they are using. Such ideas
would keep us all in the ruts to-
gether. A difference in the size of
hives is very necessary to suit the
great variations of climate. A shall
low frame that would allow large
top surplus and winter the bees well
in the sunny south, where they are
confined in the hives only few days
at time, would be very risky where
the bees are confined from go to 80
days. 1t would not allow the bees to
form in cluster deep enough for
safe wintering.
large sections are easily disposed
of among farmers, lumbermen and
those who labor in shops, but city
people who do light work like small
sections the best have often
thought section that could be re-
tailed for a dime would meet with
much favor in the cities. Odd size
sections insure fresh made ones,
which are less liable to break than
standard make, which are sometimes
several years old and very brittle.
Square sections do not look well. All
the odd sizes l ever used were lit
tie longer than wide.
Those who intend to purchase
site for an apiary should make
thorough investigation to learn what
wild flowers or cultivated crops will
produce honey for several years
within mile OF the apiary. The ex-
perience of 40 years in bee keeping
has caused me t. believe there IL but
very little honey gathered outside of
a radius OF one mile from an apiary
il there is fair amount of fora
within that distance. OF the several
hundred lines of bees that have fol-
lowed to termination not half
dozen went the distance Of a mile

the board of common council Of
Washington before he was 25. Two
years after, in 1862, he became presi-
dent of the body. He was member
of the levy court in 1867, and presi-
dent Of the Citizens Reform associa-
tion in 1870. Then congress turned
Washington and the District of CO.
lumbia into a territorial government.
He was appointed governor of the
district, and president of the board
of public works. He had always
borne the reputation of being pro.
gressive, liberal, yet determined man.
Washington at this time was
drowsy, half-northern, half-southern
city. 1t had been laid out on liberal
lines but had never cOnfOrmed to
them. 1t had no adequate building
laws. Its streets were mud holes
in winter and dust distributors in
summer. Shepherd determined to
alter this. He had the power and
he proceeded to use it. One morn
ing the people of the old town walk
ened to find hundreds of men at work
on the streets. 1t was the advance

Nothing halted his determination

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

Hens should be kept quiet and com
Portable.
Do not have the mash sloppy; it
should be crumbly.
If laying hens are confined they
should have meat or milk.
Allow as much exercise as possible
to all classes of poultry.
Unless fowl is very valuable it
does not pay to doctor it.
Sorghum and broom-corn seeds are
excellent as variety feed.
Give your house plenty of fresh air
every day, winter and summer.
Milk may be profitably fed in any
fOrm-sweet, sour or buttermilk.
The poultry house should be white
washed inside and out, roof and sides.
The time of Matching is of more
importance than the breed, il YOU
want winter eggs.
Young ducks should be sold as
early as possible, and to that end
should be pushed to get their growth.

EeedInR Meat 10 PoulfrY

When feeding meat to hens do not
use that portion which is fat. The
object in feeding meat to hens IL to
supply them with nitrogen and not
fat, as the grain contains all the fat
and starch required for them. II the
fat is fed 1T does not assist In any
manner to provide material for eggs,
but rather retards than assists lay
ing. The cheap portions Of beef. such
as the neck, are better for fowls than
the choicest fat and lean steaks.
Blood Is excellent for fowls, and can
be easily fed TO them by mixing It
with their soft food. The ordinary
ground meat contains both fat and

Perfect Ice Cream Pov

The lady, said Emerson. Is not
known by her dress, but by her So
-...,r renity. Never in
any circumstance
""o" "reea'"s' whatever to betray
iiritability or uneasiness or unre-
strained temper, that is the perfec-
ton of good breeding. There are
those with whom the canons of good
breeding are more potent than the
laws of Christian conduct. But hap
PLY, remarks the Boston Watchman,
both here are at one. Both condemn
displays of temper. Serenity is the
requirement of the social law, and
peace of mind is the sovereign grace
OF the Gospel. There are, to be sure.
times when both the social and divine
law warrant display of passion. The
man who does not kindle when he
sees a brute torturing child, or
striking woman, is unworthy of his
manhood. Only the occasion must
be commensurate with the display.
The great trouble with most of us Is
that by reason of false perspective
we magnify trifes out of all relation
to their Importance and keep our.
selves in state of constant irritable
ity or disturbance. We spend so much
emotion on broken crockery that we
exhaust ourselves for any exercise OF
righteous anger and keep ourselves
constantly unhappy. There are few
wrongs that anyone can do us so Sc
rious as breaking our peace of mind.
1t is the part of wisdom for us to
guard that.

About 90 years ago, recalls Roswell

two or three days later, when a tor

lawyer to the New York Sun. that
many parents make fatal mistake in
ignoring the rights Of certain Of their
children in their wills. omatter how
much the conduct Of child may dis
please the parent, that child should
not be cut out Of the will entirely and
left with the prOverbial shilling. Such
will, in most cases. creates terrible
family feud, and the result is generally
that the disinherited one becomes a

at Manila, Philippine Islands.
Mr.. Burkhead said w. +. Chapman,
who served In the American army

in that country for blowing and for
drawing heavy loads. Mr.. Burk-
