A MATTER OF DocTRINE.-The Rev
Athaliah Judson, a character we'll
known about the various camp meeting
grounds of the Afro-Baptist league
of western Pennsylvania, was trying to
make plain to a hard-headed, sad
visaged brother the error Of his ways
in attending other campmeetings : in

"oH, MYl Oh, MYl Oh, Mel"
But I'll tell you what I'll do. You can
tell me what you want to say and I'll
write the letter for you"
mo. indeed" cried the lion. II must
write it myself"
"Not with my quills.' answered the
porcupine. "You might break one OF
them, and I would never get it back
again"
"You won't let me have quill! You
refuse me, the king Of beasts! Then l
will teach you lesson. I will eat you
alivew
And with that the lion opened his
great big mouth and brought his jaws
down with full force upon the little
porcupine. The next moment he was
bowling with pain. while blood flowed
from a hundred gashes in his mouth
made by the sharp points Of the quills.
"Oh, my! Oh, my! Oh, me-" he
screamed in pain. what have you
done"
81 haven't done anything" answered
the porcupine. 81 haven't moved from
this spot"
"Oh, my! Look at the blood!' cried
the lion.
1T will make good ink for your let
ter" said the porcupine.
"You are unkind to me-" said the lion.
"And you tried to be unkind to me-"
said the porcupine.
And then the lion turned on his heel
and went home q much wiser animal
than ever before. Chicago Tribune.

WHY HE ONLY ATE THE YoLKs.-An
American woman travelling in England
stopped one day at little country
house. Chatting with the visitor, the
woman of the house told of her diff
ficulty in getting along and Of an eX-
perience she had had with a boarder.
THE first morning this man stopped
here" she said. "he began to eat boil
ed eggs very greedily. Egg after egg
he ate-three, four. five. six-and it
was only the yolk of them that he
swallowed: the white he didn't bother
with ut ALL
when he dug his spoon into the
seventh egg my temper got the better
of me, and I said in a severe tone:
Don't you ever eat the white Of
the eggs. sir?'
''Surely not, my woman he an
swered. The yolk is the bird: the
white is the feathers. Would you have
me make bolster of myself?'"

AMERICAN PATRIOTIsM.-Patrioti
is the touchStone in the crowds which
gathered in front of the bulletin boards
on the days when Reliance and Sham
rock battled for the Americas cup off
Sandy Hook, as is shown by the re-
marks of members of the gatherings.
The native Americans can be distin-
guished by their characteristic accent.
On the day of the last race, when the
bulletins announced that Reliance was
two miles ahead, one man was heard
to say:
"Shure. she's noice boat and Sir
Tom is a foine gintleman, but thin
Johnny Bulls can't built boats wild us
Yankees"
Another full-f1edged patriot chimed
in with:

seas no longer already. We Yankees
vas de poy vot can puild does ships,

Little Folks
%@e Lion 'sLove Letter

Soon after the lion fell in love he
thought 1t would be just right for him
to write letter to his sweetheart, and
he started out to find pen and ink with
which to do 1t. Almost the first person
that he came across was the porcupine,
who was just bristling with quills-the
finest sort Of quilts for letter writing.
Hello, Porkyr' cried the lion. II
want to borrow one Of your good quills
to write letter."
II can't spare one of my quills just
at present" replied the porcupine.

Retail Furniture Dealers Association
Calls Attention to Louisiana Ave.

The Retail Furniture Dealers Associa-
ton Of the District Of Columbia has
written TO the Commissioners calling at
tentlon to the manner in which the
pavement Of Louisiana Avenue, between
Sixth and Seventh Streets northwest, is
used for displaying and selling furni-
ture. carpets. etc
I'VE believe this is against the law.
and surely it might be termed a
nuisance says the letter. 1T Is a de-
facement of the streets of Washington,
and makes competition unfair to the
dealers. especially those in the vicinity
who attempt TO show their goods or
floor space necessarily crowded because
they will not litter the sidewalk
Commissioner West has replied to the

CITIZENS
FAVOR NEW STATION
Take Action at Monthly Meeting That
Conflicts With Views of Other As
sociations on Union Depot.

The Brightwood Park Citizens Asso-
citation. at its regular meeting last
evening. went on record as being heart
lily in favor of the Union Station project
in direct contrast to the stand taken by
the East End Suburban Citizens and
Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-
Citations.
Ever since Josiah Willard brought suit
in the District Supreme Court to restrain
the Commissioners and the Treasurer of
the United States from paying to the
railroads any of the money appropriated
for the construction of the IS. OO0. 900 ter
minal. the two eastern associations
have been trying to enlist in their cause
associations in other portions of the
city.
The meeting was held In Brightwood
Park town hall. with President Nick.
Clayton in the chair. J. A Moore of the
Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-
citation, spoke at length detailing the
reasons why the Union Station act
should be opposed. He said the act as
it stands is unconstitutional. and ar
gued that the station was not TO be
such a thing of beauty as the citizens
of Washington anticipated.
His remarks did not move the men,
DerS OF the BrlgntWOOd Farh ASSOCld-
ton to any great degree of enthusiasm,
and when a vote was taken Mr..
Moores view was unanimously opposed.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Commissioners to include In their
estimates TO Congress provision for q
four-room school building for that sec
ton. owing to the present inadequate
facilities.
The association also took the initia-
tive in another line of opposition In
adopting resolutions commencing the
street car service now in operation TO
and from Brightwood Park. Other as
sociations have condemned the street
car service in their various vicinities.
The committee on postoffice improve
ments announced it had conferred with
Postmaster Merritt relative to better
mail facilities In Brightwood Park. and
had obtained a promise OF cooperation
from the associations in Petworth and
Terra Gotta.
The next meeting Of the association
will be held in November.

INCREASE OF PAY URGED
FOR INSPECTOR OF FLOUR

The Commissioners have received a
letter from Albert Schulteis. OF the
Bakers Association, asking that an
item be included in estimates TO Con-
gress for a sum to increase the pay
of the official flour inspector of the
District.
owing TO the unsatisfactory law" "
says Mr. Schulteis, lin regard to the
inspection of -four, the official flour in
spector receives very little compensa-
ton for his services. We do not deem
1t necessary to have all -four inspected.
yet II is very essential to have some
one whom we can call upon for an off,
cial certificate when -four is received

transit, as is almosS Of daily occur
