Death of Mrs. Chas. Loucks.

Mrs. Charles Loucks, after an illness Of
less than a week, died of acute gastritis at
her home, No. 1850 Huntington place, yes
terday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock
For several days life had been despaired of,
and Mrs. Frederick Hatch of Eau Claire,
Wis, daughter, and Mr. E. o. Loucks of
Lawton Okla, son, had been summoned.
The former arrived yesterday and saw her
mother before she passed away, but the
son was unable to arrive here before today.
Mrs. Loucks realized that her departure
was near. bbut she strongly hoped that she
would be able to greet her loved ones who
we're fastening to her bedside. This hope,
indeed, gave her an added strength and en-
couraged her friends to believe that it
might be realized. But with the coming
of Sunday she seemed to feel that her hope
was in vain and with Christian fortitude
she accepted the disappointment.
Mrs. Loucks was member of Calvary
Baptist Church and was widely known for
her hearty cooperation In church work. A
native graciousness and thoughtful consid-
erateness had drawn to her host of firm
friends Her former home was Rochester,
N. Y, but she had lived in Washington for
many years. Besides those mentioned she
leaves two unmarried daughters, Misses
Mabel and Jessie. The funeral will be held
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.

The dramatic club of the Washington
School for Boys entertained the patrons of
the school Saturday with the presentation
of the comedy, Dearest Mamma" All of
the parts representative Of both sexes were
taken by the boys of the school, and the
costuming was striking and well conceived.
Some of the boys playing the parts of girls
were so prettily dressed and so we'll made
up that their own parents did not recognize
them.
The audience was very appreciative and
enthusiastic and filled every corner of the
little theater which has been fitted up at
Dunster Hall. An informal dance was
given after the play.
Those in the cast were: H. R. Van Law,
r. d. Northrop, c. M. Ffouike, jr., "
w. Woodward, A. c. Downing, jr, and R.

Only Death win Bring Rest to His
Bones.

On one of the routine papers which passed
through the Offices at the District building
today was found the following Endorsement:
''Dr c. b. Robinson, the District veterfn-
arian, reports to the Commissioners that
horses numbered 1914. 173 and go of the
District fire department are unfit for fur
ther fire service, and recommends that they
be turned over to the property clerk for dis
posal.''
This Endorsement is suggestive of the fate
of the fire horses There is no recommended
ton that they be retired to the pasture or
kept in a warm stall with plenty of fresh
hay and oats for the remainder of their
days, as a reward for faithful services ex-
tending over period OF many years. Only
the cold statement that they have passed
the stage of their usefulness and should be
disposed of by the property clerk, and they
are designated by numbers like SO many
ambulances or patrol wagons.
No efforts are made to retire the faithful
equines on a pension with higher rank, but
instead, they will be denoted, for after
they are discarded by the fire department
they will be turned over to another, the
street cleaning department, perhaps, and
will be required to draw carloads of refuse
broken down and the period of their disso-
luton sets in.
In the coming days, perhaps, while hitch
ed to some garbage wagon waiting upon
the streets. these once spirited animals will
hear the sound of the fire gong. and, as the
engines dash past, drawn by fresh, young
steeds, they will prick up their ears with
the recollection of the time when they, too,
were young and spirited and rushed
through the streets of the city drawing the
putting engine of some valiant fire company
il, its mission of protection to life and prop
erty.
The fate of the worn-out fire horse is
sealed There is no hope in store for him,
and only death will bring him rest.

people believe that heaven is a place to go
after death regardless of preparation That
Its beauty and harmony are to be enjoyed

EVOLUTION OF THE HORSE.
Lecture by Prof. Osborn Of. New York
Museum Of Natural History.

At the regular Saturday afternoon lee
ture, held under the auspices of the Ma
tional Biological Society. at the National
Museum. Prof. Henry F. Osborn of the
American Museum of Natural History OF
New York spoke on THE Evolution of the
Horse"
To the late William c. whitney, said
the lecturer, the world was indebted for
many discoveries of great value in con-
nection with the origin of the horse Re
searches, he said, had been made that en-
abled science to trace the origin of the
animal to the five-toed quadruped OF the
eocene period, about a foot high. He re-
ferred to the expeditions sent out by Mr.,
Whitney in 1901 and 1902 the object oi
which was to trace the genealogy of the
domestic horse of the present day, and
said that not only had the trips been made
possible through the generosity of that
famous lover of horses. but he had also
provided for laboratories for the preserva-
ton OF such specimens as the parties might
locate and consider valuable.
The lecture was illustrated by stereop-
tcon views of the different animals that
had had part in the evolution of the
horse, one particularly interesting speci-
men being the fossil remains of the three
toed horse that had been found in New
their researches. Only in the dry, arid re-
g1oIs OF the earth or in the zones of per-
petuaI snow and ice are fossil remains
found, and Texas, New Mexico and Ari-
iona are particularly rich in them. Mr.
Whitney said the speaker, did not live
to see the three-toed specimen, which was
amog the last that were found by the ex-
pedltion. For a great period of time the
horse or his progenitor was extinct on the
American continent, but his ancestors had
lived here in the earliest ages of animal life
on the planet This missing link was the
special study of the scientific expeditions
ana, although they were unrewarded for
their work, they are yet hopeful of com
p!eting the chain that will tell the story
or the horse from the earliest appearance
OF that animal on the earth to the present
time.
