IN I'll GOOD OLD DAYS.
When the White House Lot Was Con-
verified Into a Skating Pond for
the Use of Everybody.

"Oh, for the good old days." sighed
An old lady at the breakfast table Of
a Washington boarding house recently.
The sudden cold spell had set her to
thinking, says the Washington Star.
II remember when the fire engines
used to be taken down to the basin, a
line of hose run from them up to the
white lot, and after the banks had been
built water pumped on the grass until
it reached a foot or more in depth.
One nights cold breath was enough to
freeze the ice to a thickness strong
enough to hold all the skaters who
wanted to participate. 1t was a merry
sight to see the hundreds gliding over
the smooth surface. In those days it
was very unusual to get any sort Of
skating On the river, and what little
there was made the sport extremely
dangerous.
IF my memory doesn't fail me, tick
cts were sold for ten cents by the fire.
men who had dragged the engine to the
river side and built up the dams, and
quite a pretty sum was realized.
Those were the days when every
body seemed to enjoy themselves in a
society that was not exclusive, and
there were no lines drawn at the white
lot skating pond"

A HUNTING EPISODE.

. Disadvantage a. IL Here
Seen.

Two hunters who were shooting in
New Jersey were not equally matched
as regards skill in shooting.
One of them bagged many birds,
while the other did not get a feather,
says Judge.
"What, no." said the first, "but you
are punk. Why don't you practice with
a pop-gun? You could not hit a barrel
if you poked the end of your fowling-
piece in the bung-hole."
The other said nothing, but he gazed
sadly on his empty bag and e~nviously
at the birds his companion had slaugh-
tered.
AS they were about to start for
home they met an affable stranger.
who asked: what luck?"
II have killed % birds" said the good
shot, "while this lobster here has not
killed one. Isn't he a chump to carry
such a heavy gun all day?"
SWELL, lam not sure" said the affable
stranger. II am a game warden and
this is the closed season. Those birds
will cost you ten dollars apiece"
Moral-A bird in the game bag is
sometimes worth a whole bunch in the

FEW PAID WOMEN DRIVERS.
One Occupation, Al Least, of Which
Man Remains in Undisputed
Supremacy.

One occupation that women do not
appear to take to is that of driving.
1t is not unusual to see women driving
pleasure vehicles, runabouts, p%haetons
and that sort Of thing, in the parks and
uptown avenues, but it is very unusual
to see a woman driving any sort of q
business vehicle in the lower part of
the city, says the New York Sun.
A man whose business for a dozen
years has taken him here and there
about the city says that in all that
time he has never see a woman driv.
ing a truck, and only two women driv.
ing wagons. And in one Of these two
cases the wagon vas apparently from
a garden truck farm somewhere just
off Manhattan Island, leaving just one
regular business wagon belonging here
that had a woman driver.
Women have found their way into
many occupations that formerly were
monopolized by men; but they certain.
ly have not interfered very much with
mans monopoly Of the work of driving.
