A REAL HERO.
BE Wore the First of the Season on F
Street.

OCTGeL.
He was hero. 1t is true that as he
strolled jauntily down F street In his new
spring suit there was nothing about the
young man that suggested to the casual
observer the characteristics usually as
cribed to brave men, He was of slight build
and could exhibit no scars of battle; indeed
there was but slight evidence of hirsute
adornment on his face to relieve the stamn
Oh youth He Gid not have the square Jaw,
nor the firm, steady glance of the eye In
ms right hand he carried a sprig of a cane
Nevertheless, there was something about
the young man that attracted attention
Elderly matrons and young maids gazed at
MN IN wonder and turned to look after
him as he passed by Young men and old
left off the contemplation of business and
various attractions the street to glance
at the youth in his triumphal stroll News
boys made audible reference to the young
man, crossing policemen manifested a live
ly interest in him. and cab drivers and
coachmen dismissed the look of stolid in
difference from their faces and gazed in
amazed silence. The young man was evil
IDENTIFY conscious of the attention he was
attracting, for his cheeks were of the hue of
sunburn, yet he kept courageously on his
way, turning neither to the right nor to the
left and enduring patiently the stares of
the curious public.
Thoughtful men declared him bero
There were other names pronounced by un-
thinking, enviouS souls. Upon the wayy
sun-kssed locks that adorned his head
above the youthful brow rested a diadem-
a crown OF straw of the newest pattern,
the first one of the season to be seen on
the streets of Washington, This slender
youth with the courage of a conqueror in
vading hostile country pushed boldly
forth against the prejudices of the season
standard.

"Ninety-nine out of a hundred persons
who enter the Capitol from the west are
persons who are paying their first visit to
the building; depend upon it. After they
are here a while they will make the pill

was perfectly passive, and seemed pleased
that he had found the easiest way of get

And wrote poem on the Spring

''How blithe and balmy Is the air!''
She scrubbed as she sat.
