Union Hill, n. J., and asked for a
pair of shoes, the clerk noticed moth
ing unusual about his appearance.
1t will be apparent from what fol-
lows that Diehl is possessed of a
remarkably fine sense of humOr. Said
he to the obliging clerk:
Gimme a pair o. button shoes"
While the clerk was getting down
the goods Diehl unfastened his
wooden leg and prepared himself for
the merry jest that was to follow.
The clerk had some difficulty in get
ting the worn-out shoe off the hici,-
ory limb and Diehl observed it, re-
marking:
"Aw, bend yer back why don't
yer?"
'Kinder sticks, don't ito" said the
clerk, pleasantly. With this he bent
his back so successfully that he car
ried away shoe, foot, leg and all
and landed on his back into the bar
gain.

The genial Mr.. Diehl was purple in
the face, while a negro porter who
had stood by started on the run for
an ambulance. AS soon as Diehl
could spare time from the holding Of
his sides he remarked TO the crest
fallen clerk:
"That's all right, young feller, but
v want to be careful how you start
to pull off my leg"
Diehl got his shoes at a rate that
he himself admitted was real rea
sonable."

He is 67 years of age, and enjoys the

the new Washington. After all j.
said and done, the work of the ex-
perts who have planned the future
Washington as city of delight had
the basis of Boss" Shepherds worh
TO go upon. That is how he derived
his sobriquet of ''boas." For three
years he was the absolute ruler OF
Washington, and in that time spent
S40,O00,OO0 in making it what it is 10
day.
Alexander II. Shepherd, says the
Philadelphia Press, is a native OF
Washington. He was born in the
udIS january lOs lo0b. Ills parents
were in ordinary circumstances. His
ancestors for $50 years had lived 10
this country; some of them fought
in the revolutionary war. Shepherd
himself was for a time a soldier in
the late war His father became
well-to-do before his death, which
enabled the boy to obtain a 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
trade to help support the family.
Then he became a shoe salesman, and
later learned to be a plumber and
gas filter. Within eight years of en-
tering his apprenticeship he was a
partner. Within the next - years
he had built more than 400 houses
in Washington.
His prominence in business led him
into politics. He was a member Of

its accustomed haunts by crossing the
Missouri river on the ice.
1t appeared the other morning in
the dooryard of the house where Miss
Hoover resides and fiercely attacked
a large shepherd dog. The animals
engaged in a life and death struggle
and their snarling and swapping were
enough to affect the nerves of even a
man. Finally the dog succeeded il
getting somewhat the better of its al
tagonist.
At this juncture Miss Hoover, in
stead of fleeing to the attic or cellar
for safety, appeared on the scene. She
was armed with a hatchet and, ap-
preaching close to where the dog and
wolf were battling for life, she raised
the hatehet and dealt the wolf such
a blow that it was killed instantly.

the board of common council of
Washington before he was p. Two
years after. in 1862 he became presi-
dent of the body. lie was a 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 a pro-
gressive, liberal, yet determined man.
Washing sOn at this time was a
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 lad the power and
he proceeded to Vse it. One morn
ing the people o. the old town walk
ened to find HUNDREDS of men at work
on the streets. 1t WEs the advance
guard of BOSS" Shepherds legions.
Within the next Nree years, from
June l, 1871, to JlLN "a, 1874, BOSS"
Shepherd ruled ' sshington with a
rod of iron. Men Who began by
praising him ended by cursing him.
As Improvements grew taxes in

them. Newspapers in other cities
were the only avenues for the male

papers were bound hand and foot bv
the influence of the boss" or 81
fenced by a knowledge that he was
doing the right thing in improving
Washington, although it was unpOp-
ular at the time.
Nothing halted his determination.
The city became a hive of municipal
industry. All streets of any impor.
tanee underwent transformation
They were graded. severed and
paved, and il is now admitted that
the work was well sn1 admirably
done. Some idea of the improve
ments that Shepherd made in Wash
ington may be CLEAR I'd from tLesr
interesting figures. He plante,
more than 10000 tree, and paved 11s
miles of streets. besides layiIg 2O7
miles of sidewalks. His army OF
men dug and carted away $4,000
cubic yards of earth. He had con.
structed 317,196 feet Of pipe sewers
of u to IS inches in diameter; four
miles of sewers from 10 70 30 feet in
diameter and over five miles of sew
ers from TO feet in diameter. He
laid 30 miles of water pipe and near
ly so miles of gas pipe. In addition
to this he constructed 80 miles OF
roads in the suburbs of the city.
