The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-04-12

t ASTERTTME-the happiest season
of the year-has dawned, and
though the feminine portion of
this beautiful world is engaged today in
displaying its newest creations IN mil
linery. juvenile society looks forward to
tomorrow with more joy, more keen
edged anticipation than ever the hap
piest debutante experienced in contem-
plating her presentation Through a
long established precedent the children
of Washington are TO be given the privi-
lege of the White House grounds, and
from o'clock in the morning until in
the afternoon the executive grounds viii
resound with childish laughter. music
by the United States Marine Band and
other evidences of the joyous season.
Just Like Christmas Time.
The fun INDUCED in by the children is
not surpassed by the mysteries of
Christmas time or even the beIligerent
atmosphere of the glorious Fourth OF
July. True, there are many ways of en-
ioyment, and Easter has its own pecu-
Harities and untold pleasures. Long be-
fore the season dawns the lit e ones are
reminded of it by the shop windows with
their assortment of eggs, rabbits,
chickens and deftlv-conceived toys char
acteristic of the season. The number of
eggs which will fall to their share for
Easter Monday is a weighty question and
one that keeps the little heads busy for
days before the eYentfuI time. All kinds
of patterns and colors used in decorating
the eggs are coveted, and battles royal
often result from differences of opinion
as to who has the most select assort-
ment.
Essentially Children's Day.
With the exception of Easter Monday,
the public has little opportunity 10 froIie
in the executive grounds. At other times
during the year great statesmen. dis
tinguished men from all parts of the
world. bellies and grande danes are
permitted, through courtesy of the
President and his wife, to promenade
wherever they please, but on this one
suspicious occasion, diplomacy plays no
part and the younger generation. in
discriminatory, is given carte blanche.
and, unnecessary to state, no oppor-
tunity is lost.
As early as 5 o'clock in the morning
they begin to congregate at The White
House gates Cars from all directions
Of the city are crowded with happy
exdltant throng Of children on their way
10 roll eggs in the grounds back Of the
Presidents home.

Unless the school child has food that
nourishes brain and nerves as well as

Brain wastes away daily just like the

the only way to do this is by the proper
food selected for just this purpose.

FUTURE OF CATTLE INDUSTRY.
Better Quality and Less Quantity Is
the Outlook.

low prices being paid in the mar
kets are forcing many stOckmen TO sac
ritice their breeding cattle and unfinished
steers. They are realizing SO little for
their cattle that it makes the shipment
of others necessary to raise money 10

running expenses. Cattlemen are them
selves the great market demoTalizers;
they must nave money. and there is no
way for them 10 get it except to sell.

PAY ROLLS PADDED.
State Auditor Receives $50 From a
Conscience-St Stricken Person.

ConSClenCc-StrtCken FcTSOn.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. Estate Auditor
Wells today received $50 through the
mails. from an unknown person, who says
he defrauded the state out of the amount
during the last session OF the legislature.
The name of Sidney Brakeman was
signed to the voucher for the money.
Brakeman was not at any time an en-
ploye of the legislature. The writer adj
mits that he secured the warrants for
the amount by forging the name of Blake
man.
According to the opinion of some of the
state officers, there is reason to believe
there was wholesale forgery going on
in the legislature last winter. 1t is
thought that the pay rolls in each house
were padded
The original journal of the house of
representatives shows that Blakemans
name was forged to the oath Of office,
which he is purported to have taken and
also that of Peaker Pringle.
