half from the clubs, the hotels, the res

make the place attractive enough to
bring his friends up on to the hill to

He established the Round Table club,

chief of the coast and geodetic survey,
the only scientific bureau of the gov

to join, although it means quite trip

there are others of like tastes. Every
day at noon they meet at the round

his wife whirl joyously by with an I'M

in terror, retreated down the limb and

such cruel treatment as she quivered
through the fern on futtering wing to-

thoroughly subdued, she yielded up the

of contention. A domestic battle had
been fought and he had won. The
scolding ceased. Both seemed salts

of sweet song as rarely strikes human

WANTS TO SEE HAIRPINs.

he sees less than ten hairpins on the side
walk. He never picks them ap-just
counts them-and if he finds ten he is
content. If not, then he says he's I'M
comfortable the rest of the day.
$50 expert has he become that he can
see a hairpin on the sidewalk half block
away. The mental attitude which makes
this sort of thing possible gets to be en-
tirely mechanical after time, and my
friend says he can think whole lot bet
ter if he keeps one part of his brain busy
hunting hairpins while the other is do
ing the work which is worth while. AS
he expresses it. the foolish part of the
brain is kept busy SO that it doesn't
bother the serious part. It's just like
giving baby some feathers and lit

CAT ADOPTS MOUSE FAMILY
Big Maltese Has Pity for Four Little
Rodent Orphans and Takes
Care Of Them.

Busy Body. big Maltese cat which
makes her home at the indianapolis
Union railway shops, in Indianapolis.
and is the pet Of every one, from the
president down to the humble employe
of the road, after establishing record
Of killing more than 10000 rats and
mice, has, with charming feline incon-
sistency, adopted four tiny mice, says
the Indianapolis Sun.
Three weeks ago Busy Body gave birth
to four kittens, and with them seemed in
an ecstasy of happiness. But the little
fellows required such large amount Of
nourishment that she began to look
emaciated and good rat or mouse diet
was suggested for her.
One afternoon workmen about the
shops discovered nest of six mice in
sawdust pile, and, thinking of the faith
full "tabby," caught them for her. They
were alive when thrown into her box,
and the men expected to see an imme-
date slaughter.
Imagine their surprise when Busy
Body merely looked up rather sleepily,
IOOh d lOOh dL lue nice, carefully llCheU
them over and then, as they nestled be-
meath her, went back to sleep. Since
then she has looked after them tenderly,
as much as she has her kittens, and the
kittens and mice take their nourish-
ment side by side.
One of the mice died and another lost
it's life through an experiment. The
men thought that if cat would act so
remarkably with a mouse dog
would surely do likewise. One of them
was carried to Fanny, dog which is
nursing litter of pups, for inspection.
The inspection was brief one, and be-
fore the men could prevent her Fanny
had swallowed the mouse whole.
Busy Body is six years old. She was
taken to the Union railway shops three
years ago after she had lost an eye,
which disfgured her countenance. The
shops were formerly overrun with rats
and mice. but she has gained remark
able record for killing them, and it is
asserted that no less than 10000 is the
number of her victims.

Washington and one of the most
efficient. When he was made as
sistant secretary he was the
youngest man who ever held the Office.
Close following him was William e.
Chandler, who was assistant secretary
under Andrew Johnson, and who was a
little under 30, but a few months the
senior of Armstrong at his appoint
ment. Chandler who is to-day the
youngest man of his years in public life,
called on Armstrong for the first time
few days ago, and the two compared
birthdays with friendly rivalry.
When Armstrong came to Washing
ton as the private secretary to Secretary
Shaw, three years ago, he was Chi
cago newspaper man who had probably
never given the treasury an hours seri-
GUS thought in his life. But it didn't
take him long to catch on to the game,
and before anybody real lied it he was
shaking up the dry bones and making
revolutions in the administration of the
department that made the old standbys
rub their eyes in amazement.
1t was Armstrong who ordered the
scrubbing of the treasury pillars and
fixed an intelligent system for number
inS the rooms in the building, besides
improving immensely the administra-
tive effectiveness of the treasury force.
When, on the secretary's recommends
ton, he was promoted to the position of
assistant secretary the old fellows
opened their eyes still wider; but he
has made good in the one place as
in the other, and is held in high
esteem.

SURGERY IN HIGH FAVOR.
People Now Readily Submit to oper-
atoms Who Once Shrank
from Them.

Not so many years ago surgical opera
tons were generally regarded by the
public as means of last resort, and were
submitted to only when the patient or
his family was advised that no other es-
cape was open for the sufferer. FIRE.
quently, says the Baltimore Herald, the
sick man was in eXtremis when he went
under the surgeon sknife, and it is as
serted by medical men that the large
mortality in given number of opera
lions was due to this fact. In this way
the popular fear of going through these
ordeals was increased; the surgeons gen.
orally being held responsible for the ia
tai outcome.
To-day there is less fear of the knife,
and statistics show that the mortality
is far less. This is attributed by the
profession to the advanced views now
held, and what may be termed the great
er popularity of surgery. OF course, a
most potent contribution to this condi-
ton of affairs is the more extensive
knowledge possessed by the modern sur
geon and his greater skill. But there
is another source from which help
comes; that is, that cases requiring the
services of surgeons are not delayed I'M
til the last minute, when the patients are
SO exhausted or they cannot stand the
shock they must necessarily sustain.
To-day it is appreciated by all stu
dents of ills to which flesh is heir that
if the knife is to be used the sooner it
is done the better; just as everybody
knows that if disease is to be checked,
the sooner medicine is administered the
better And to this view of the mat
ter the doctor and the surgeon have grad
ually educated the people. This &C
counts for the popularity of surgery and
for the material diminishing of the
death rate of persons passing under the
knife.

when not everybody was innoculated
with the virus; but he is no better now
than then. At the beginning OF every
summer, after the conclusion of the
spring term Of court, the justice grave
ly packs in his trunk lot of cases
which he determines to examine during
the vacation at his leisure, and he ships
the trunk with his other baggage up to
his place at Murray Bay. Every fall,
regularly, he expresses the trunk back
to Washington, with the straps still
unloosened and the catch still sprung.
He devotes himself assiduously and con-
tinuously to golf from the time he lands
at his summer home until the cold
weather calls him back to realization
of the seriousness of life.

the court Justice Mckenna is almost
equally enthusiastic, though not equal

to see the dignifed justices unbend as
they do with eagerness and dispatch
when once they have descended from the
bench and cast aside their robes Of

Suppose tho earth should turn over, dears,
Some night, when we're all asleep;
Why! Wouldn't the water all be spilled
From the ocean SO dark and deep?
And suppose the stars rolled about in the
sky,
AS your marbles roll on the floor;
Suppose we could see for millions of miles,
When We look out the window or door!

And never feel it, or know!
Oh, it makes me quite dizzy to think, dears,
If the world should a-spinning go
What is it you say, my wise little man?
That in kindergarten you learn
That the stars do roll about in the sky,
And the earth does actually turn?
And you, my dear little nut-brown maid,
With your satchel of books and slate.
You tell me the earth is flying away
AT most inconceivable rate;
That were always travelling, travelling on.
Some thousands of miles day.
Though we never feel it, and may not
know.
We're so busy with work and play.
We've many wonderful lessons to learn,
Grown children as we'll as small.
For you know there were hundreds Of
years, my pets,
When no one supposed at all
That the earth and stars ever moved an
inch,
Then they wouldn't believe twas true;
But don't you think, dears, that all the
time
There was Somebody, somewhere, who

loving cup. Over
a thousand men Joined in the trib-
ute, which was all the more
striking because, aside from his
newspaper activity, Mr.. Noyes has never
occupied public position and has con-
fined himself to the seclusion of the
editorial room of the Star.
If anybody can be called the first cit
izen of Washington, Crosby Noyes is the
one. He has become so identified with
the local life of the town that there is
nothing of local interest with which he
may not be said to have some associa-
ton either through his newspaper or
through his personal promotion. He
has been identified with every charity
and with every prominent work; yet in
a community where Office holding may
be called universal habit it has never
occurred to MIN to seek official position
or to mingle in politics. He has seen
the city grow from the mud hole of the
fifties to the splendid capital of to-day,
and he has been one of the prime fac
tors in advancing it's beauty and aiding
its development.
He came here from Maine poor boy,
walking most of the way, partly be-
cause he had no money and partly be-
cause he was in feeble health end need
ed exercise. Now he is one of the
wealthiest men in Washington as he Is
the best Known.
