was not all. She was evidently prac-
ticing the bodybuilding exercises recon-
merded by physical cuituriyts. The re-
suit was that her head was turning con-
stantly, ana all those around her seemed
to have the artificial fruits and flowers
thrust in their faces when least expecting

"This is tke limit" said a tail iEdivid-

brushed Off by n cluster Of cherries for
the eight time "If It happens again I'll

In less than minute the appetizing
looking cherries repeated the trick. The
mouth OF the tall man opened. Three cher
ries disappeared in the cavity, and when
the hat ho.S.l back again IL was minus
that part Of The trimming.
A man standing near by, VINO also had
been exceedingly annoyed. proceeded to

Just For Women

water seems instinctively to strike out
and keep himself ahoat.
At the age of two months White
started a system of massage on his
sons infantile physique, and the faith
er's efforts bid fair to bring forth ex-
traordinary results. Although Tommy.
Jr., cannot walk he can lift a twelve
pound dumb bell from the floor
Women bathers watch the little fell
low and shower him with all manner
of attention, and Superintendent
White is filled with a deadly fear that
some day there will be a story Of a
kidnapping case. The whole Of Dream
land is intensely proud of the swim
ming baby.

Reversing Tabooed

To be modish, one must not reverse in
the waltz or two-step. The new edict has
not come from the dancing masters of
Manhattan. but from Newport by way Of
London. The younger set has dropped re-
versins and these dancers are returning
to the old way of stretching out the
arms at right angles TO the body. Until
recently the fashion was for the woman
TO rest her hand on the mans shoulder
and in the public dancing pavilions near
New York the "ping-pong" pose had a
certain vogue. This called for the man to
place his hands under the girls arms and
the effect was unlovely.

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

The most important and extensive
railway improvements now In progress
on the western edge of this city Will, It
is authoritatively said, be as follows:
The roads will come in over a concrete
arched bridge OF so feet span across
Cameron Run and pass through a space
160 feet wide across West End and by the
foot of Shooters Hill on to St. Asaph.'
In the midst of this 160-foot space there
viii be six railway tracks, occupying
70 feet. At St. Asaph's, on the east
side of the road, an immense car yard
viii be established. extending from
Skaters Lane to Four Mile Run, and
bounded on the east by the Potomac
River. In this car yard will be laid
down tracks sufficient to accommodate
1000 cars and 200 locomotives, and from
1t, running north, the six tracks VIII
again proceed on the east side of the
present railway. and at Fort Runyon
run upon a trestle work, reach the new
bridge and pass on into Washington. The
river side of the car yards will doubt
less be converted into wharves, by
which the railway may receive and ship
freight TO water lines. This viii be the
greatest Improvement ever made near
Alexandria

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT
Mississippi Governor Thinks Abuse Of
South Will Cease Until Incident
Is Forgotten.

JACKSON. Miss. March 11.-On being
asked for an expression on the lyl ching
in Springfield, Ohio. Governor Earda-

finishing touch put on It by the mob
viii give our Northern friends some
thing 10 talk about other than abusing
the Southern people.
Blood Is thicker than water, and just
so long as negroes cruelty murder white
men and outrage white women there Is

trouble IN Ohio in the very heart OF q
city with rigid police regulations. shows
the intensity Of race prejudice even In
the North. 1t is a symptom OF social
troubles which causes me TO look with
anxiety 20 the future.
The negro is increasing in criminal
ity. Liberty is regarded by him az
license. The Fifteenth Amendment to
the Federal Constitution should be re-
pealed. 1t would be the best thing that
could be done for the negro.
