A CHIROPODIST TO BIRDS.

''Of all the peculiar ways OF
making living in Washington, y
said Representative Rupert, "there
is one man here who is unique.
He is an old German, and he says
that he is 'chiropodist to canary
birds The old fellow goes about
cutting the talons or claws of canary
birds. Birds in captivity are una
bic to keep their talons to the
proper length and they curl up,
causing the bird great pain. If
they are not properly cut the bird
is likely to die, and this old man
goes from house to house trimming
talons."

has not disappointed his friends
He has come forward and offered
his services as a speaker for the
democrats in the congressional
campaign in this district, and will
do all in his power to secure the
election of Garner. This honorable
and unselfish course on Mr.. DID
brell's part is 3 timely rebuke to
a few democrats over in Corpus

beaten in their opposition to Gar

the support Of the republican can

ALL over the state and also in
other states great interest is. felt in
the development of the lower Rio
Grande. at present The numer-
Gus land sales in this section of
late can mean nothing else but that
this long neglected valley is at last
on the eve of a great change, that
its rich soil will soon be transformed
from a wilderness into productive
irrigated fields of rice, cane and
cotton. Here is an abundance of
water, here is the richest of soils,
and now the long-needed capital
necessary to combine the two is
pouring in. The coming year will
see a number of new irrigation
enterprises in operation along the
river from Hidalgo to Brownsville.
The next step will doubtless be a
railroad. When we have the pro-
duce, the means of transporting it
Is sure to come.

WHAT manner of men are they
that strip the dead body of a noto-
rious murderer and even cut off his
hair to secure relics Of such Grim
inal? There is a peculiar sort Of
mania amongst some men which
causes them to preserve such
grewsOme objects as souvenirs.
Most people would shudder at the
sight Of them, and it would seem
that any person of q sound and

own or see or touch such things.

HUMAN SKELETON UNEARTH-
ED UNDER THE WHITE
HOUSE.

W dSlllIlStoII, AdS. o. W olhHlSlI
employed in tearing out the interior
of the White House last week I'M
earthed deep down under the base
ment portion of a human skele-
ton The discovery created con-
sternation among the negro labor
ters, who are of a .superstitious ma
; ture and they were only kept at work
with difficulty. Strenuous efforts
have been made to keep the discoy-
cry secret.
Pending a more careful investiga-
ton of the bones exhumed from
such an unlocked for but historical
resting place, the most rigid regula-
| tions have been adopted 10 prevent
persons not actually employed in
the mechanical work from entering
the building. Even clerks and
messengers belonging to the execu-
tive ,Jrce are excluded under the
lexisting order.
f.! The mysterious discovery was
made while the labOrers were engag-
ed in excayating vast pit or sub
cellar below the floor of the base
ment for the new heating apparat-
Ius. After going down about 10 feet
q massive stone vault was encOunt-
cred. 1t proved to be what were
apparently the foundation walls of
an old house that had evidently
stood on the same spot where the
White House was afterward erected.
1t will be remembered that the land
upon which the White House and
adjacent public buildings are built
is made land, developed to its pre-
sent condition by filing in and
grading.
OTHER INTERESTING DISCOVERIES.
In this same excavation was
found an immense oven imbeded
in the stone wall, and in close
proximity to the oven were found
the bones. 1t was the discovery of
the bones in conjunction with the
oven that terrorized the workmen
and caused them to believe that
they had unearthed an ancient
tomb.
During the tearing-out process
many other interesting discoveries |
have been made. For instance, in
the famous East Room evidence Of |
the fire of 1914, when the mansion
was DESTROYED by the British, was
disclosed. As the walls were cut |
out for the placing of the new iron
beam and supports, pieces of old
burnt timbers were found, having
been burnt off close up to the stone !
walls, and left undisturbed when
the portion which was burnt was
reconstructed.
According to experts, the outside |
walls of the White House are of /
perfect construction, and said to be |
more solid and substantial than
those of modern times. Fault is
found, however, with some of the
interior brick arches and construct
ton of olden times. Some of the
latter were found to be dangerously |
weak and in a state of decay.
In few places the old founda-
ton was opened, and found to be
in need of repair New retaining
walls have been erected to brace up
the weak places, so that there need
be no further apprehension of the
White HO11Ca
