Quaint Old Wine Glass.

Congressman Frank C. Weber is
the proud possessor Of cut glass
wine glass from which on more than
one occasion, SO tradition says, Gen.
George Washington refreshed himself
in the days when he used to stop on
his way from Mount Vernon to the
North at the home of the late Michael
Warner. on the old Washington road.
The wine glass is an old fashioned
one of comfortable size and weight,
and is very much unlike anything in
use nowadays. Well authenticated
tradition has it that Gen. Washington
was frequently a guest at the home of
Michael Warner, who was a well
known man in this section of the
country and was acquainted with
many prominent men of those days
1t is known that Gen. Washington
stopped on more than one occasion
at the Warner house, as he did at the
old Carroll mansion, now IN Carroll
Park, and partook of meals. The
wine glasses were always used at
these meals and were retained as me

Gnd,a Work GneA On.

In the most disastrous periods OF the
church there have always been some IA
seven thousand, perhaps, who have not
bowed the knee to Baal. Ministers may
have become corrupt; churches may have
been infected with unholy leaven; the
rich and the learned may have been unan'
imous in their rejection of everything ex
cept the mere superhcialitlees OF Religion,
and yet it will be found that G9n, VINO
values the blood of His beloved Son too
highly to let it remain imperative, has
raised His altar in individual hearts. H.
the dwellings of the poor, in solitary
places, in the recesses OF valleys and noun
tains, he has written His name upon re-
generated minds; and the incense OF their
alteration, remote from public notice, has
gone silently up to heavenly. c. Upham'

The Pyramid Limp.

The pyramid limp is disease that
usually attacks the tourist the second
or third day after his arrival in
Cairo.
To many visitors the pyramids are
all there Is to see in Egypt. and once
arrived there they proceed to make
the ascent
1t is not an easy climb, as these
steps are so high that no one can
reach the top without help from be
fore and behind, and the result is
strained and famed muscles.
Residents and habitues recognize
the pyramid limp in an instant, and
the sufferer is greeted with jeers
whenever he makes reference to his
sufferings.

to fashion plates. and could hardly be
called spick and span in the civilian
clothes he wears at his work, says the
New York Tribune. A stranger would
be far more likely to take Admiral
Walker for a countryman than a re-
tired navy officer His long whiskers
are of the type so popular in rural
dramas, and his rolling walk might
well be taken for the movement ac-
quired by following plough.
A brusque young man in search of
the Canal Commission encountered Ad-
miral Walker in corridor of the Cor
coran building, and asked pertly:
Can you tell me where l will find
Walker?'
Yes Admiral Walker replied. Just

The dapper young fellow followed
Admiral Walker into his office. The
admiral took a seat behind his desk,
and invited the young man to sit

From the Chicago Tribune.
We were gathered at the table. and
the cook had served the soup,
When my sister said the voter was a
weak, unknowing dupe.
Then my father looked astonished and
he hammered with his hand,
While asserting that the voter was
the bulwark of the land.
But my brother Interrupted, and sar-
castically laughed
While he read dozen chapters of
THE Inner Truth on Graft"
Then my mother raised her eyebrows
and invited us to hear
Mrs. Buzzys splendid words on 'Is the
Ballot Womans Sphere?"
And she read them to the finish, sup
plementing them with notes
She had taken on d lecture on THE
Dickering in Votes"
Then my sister answered mother: Its
a noble message. Yes,
But do you remember, mother Mrs.
Buzzy's purple dress?"
Mother never even noticed what my
sister said to her;
She was reading from "Elections-As
They Are and as They Were"
Then she turned to socialistic argu-
ments and made it clear
That the pickering for Office was in
deed a thing to fear;
And she said the hand of woman from
the tree should pluck the fruit
OF the governmental harvest-and my
sister said. How cute!"
Mother went from that TO Darwin and
to Spencer and TO Kant,
Showing that the straightest voter had
a little bit Of slant
But there came sudden ending OF her
oratory deep.
For we CHANGED 10 look at father-he
