WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence to the Herald
from the Nations Capital.

The Taggart scandal in Ohio sug-
gests that the heads of the army need
to do a little investigating of the per-
sonal habits of some of the officers. A
shocking condition of affairs is dis
closed by the divorce suit of the Tag
CARTS.
Outside of Portsmouth and Phila-
delphia, there seems to be little going
W orth the chronicling during these
"dog days"
If the Russian and Japanese pleni-
potentiaries at Portsmouth, manage
to patch up treaty of peace, it ought
to be called the Treaty of Oyster Bay.
There is an irrepressible conflict
coming between those who regard Of
flee as public trust and those who re-
gard it as private snap.
Every day brings it's budget Of Ports
mouth guesses. Lacking news, the
pubic must have surmise, and it is
furnished to order.
Booker Washington is philosopher.
He told the negro business men in
session in New York that "the best
way to solve the race problem is for
ca n man to solve his own problems"
The true way out of difficulty for
either white mel or black men has
been and always will be to dig out"
And now John D. Rockefeller, the
richest man in this country is taking
the barefoot treatment. Going narc-
footed to get his "dew,' poor devil!
member Of Mr.. Whites staff says
that Russia has never paid an indemn-
ity. Well, there always has to be a
"tirst" time, you know.
Both Russian and Jap ENJOYS smoke
cigarettes, when as matter of fact,
they should be hitting the "pipe of
pea 3e."
30 long as Togo sails the seas, the
limitations of Russia's naval power is
not so clearly up to the ENJOYS as they
seem to think.
Ii Manchuria's rainy season is any
thing like Chicagos the failure of
Oyama to advance is easily under
stood.
If there is any lack of timber at
home, Minnesota and the Dakotas
could spare Norway any number of
"great" men for president, and hardly
miss them.
Japans terms seem to include too
much cash; but remember the run
Oyama gave the Russians for their
money.
If Mr.. Shonts does not go faster,
Peary will find the North Pole before
the digging begins at Panama.
1t must be admitted that Norway
would make fine addition to TIE
sworld's collection" eff republics.

Possibly Mayor Dunno of Chicago
does not care to give out the Dalrym-
pie report until he can think of the
answer?
To make the payment of the in
demnity money still less disagreeable.
it might be formally designated in
the treaty as Christmas present.
When Sec. Shaw resigns from the
cabinet, he and his presidential boom,
doubtless will do the brother act on
the Chautauqua circuit.
Both the divorce-suing Taggarts
seem to be quite solicitious for their
children. Perhaps they do not wish
to have them grow up to be like their
parents.
Taft isn't coming until Oct, 1. He
should be able to give the PHILIPPINES
enough advice by that time, to last a
hundred years.
Alice Roosevelt is going to Pekin.
Doubtless the smiling Mr.. WI will tell
her that he never heard of boycott
and doesn't believe there is such a
thing.
Possibly the ENJOYS have formed an
ENJOYS union and are working under
rules which limit work day to eight
hours.
President Roosevelt must have been
tempted to lock the ENJOYS in room
with himself and then after brand
ishing the big stick few times, tell
them to sign some kind of peace
treaty on the spot or take the conse-
quences.
China and Korea fully understand
that their fate, and not Russias is
really being decided by the peace con-
ference.
St. Louis paper asserted that Gov.
Folk had lost his following by his Sun
day closing order but the Gov. prompt
ly made it plain that he never uses
chasers.
Just TO help the good work along,
the weather bureau is making the
Portsmouth weather so bad that the
ENJOYS will be glad to make peace and
quit.
! This report that whisky drinking in
New York is declining will cause no
surprises. Most of the members of
the smart set are out Of town at this
season.
Gov. Folk has done another thing
calculated to prove that he is actually
a great man. He has made Carrie
Nation dislike him.
1t is said that Mr.. Rockefeller did
not begin to accumulate money until
after he was thirty-five years of age.
When we think of how little of itihe
has left for the rest Of us, we are glad
he did not commence earlier.
That New York stockbroker who has
gone to the poor house, will not be
lonesome. He will find many of his
former patrons there.
Yale university continues to direct
Mr.. Rockefeller's attention to the fact
that it is not afraid of"tainted money!

 There may be considerable delay in filing the appeal to the supreme cot' in the case of Ciriaco Capobianco, who stands sentenced to be hanged on February 27 for the murder of Angelo Solomita on July 2S last. Attorney O'Neill applied to Judge Robinson the other day for an extension of time in which to file the appeal and without going very deep into the cause of the request it was granted. Why Mir ONeill should ask for extension of time in this matter has caused some speculation among the bar. The time to file the appeal was extended ten days.

DOWN OLD
PINE KNOB
BY n. J. Phillips
Copyright. lcc5, by Vi. J. Phillips

March had come, but winter is tena-
cious in Massachusetts. There were
few signs OF breakup. The tops of
the hills were still covered, no tinkle
came from the frozen creeks.
Tom Mowbray, ascending to the top
of Old Pine Knob, after a coast of
nearly half a mile on his stout sleigh,
looked on fairy world. The ever
green's were loaded with snow and
bearded with hoar frost. the dark
green boughs standing out between
like wondrous carvings in frames of
purest white. The air was like honey
and diamonds. Everything glittered
blindingly beneath the sun, which
shone, brilliant and hard, from a
cloudless sky.
Painting, Mowbray paused a mo-
ment on the top of Old Pine before
dropping upon the sled for another
dash down the road, creamy ribbon
between smooth white hills. 1t was
a goodly stretch of country he sur
veyed. On the right of the road and
halfway to the foot of the hill stood
his own home. From the kitchen
chimney Il column of smoke I'M

The Traveller Wore top hat, and the

''Indeed!' calculated the traveller.
THAT is what my friends say"

The station master was rapidly los
ing his temper, and, assuming the
most severe attitude he could COM
mand, he roared:
But it's against the regulations and

The following anecdote is told of
General Gilman MarstOn. a once IA
nous New Hampshire lawyer:
General Marston was attending court
at Dover, when young attorney made
a motion that was denied by the court.
The young man demonstrated against
what he thought was the wrong ruling
of the judge. 50 vehemently did he re-
mOnstrate that he was fined SO for
contempt of court. An older attorney
took the-matter up, and he was fined Il
similar sum. Still another, who thought
he stood little better with the judge.
endeavored to straighten the matter
out, but he too, enriched the Golfers of
the state by paying ''ten spot for
contempt.
General MarstOn was then seen to
rise in his seat and advance to the
clerks desk Taking his long pocket
book from his pocket he took out two
ten dollar bills and laid them on the
desk
What is that for?' said the court.
81 want you to distinctly under
stand" said the general, that l have
just twice as much contempt for this
court as any man here, and l am pay
ing for it."-Boston Herald.

troubled by vagrant wind, rose straight
in the air. \ few rods beyond the
house the railroad track crossed the
road. At the bottom of the little val
ley the iron bridge over Winkoos
creek marked the end of his coast
Tom was twenty-four and stood a
full six feet, but he still loved, boy
like, to cruise at breaknecll speed over
courses that would have frightened
expert tobogganists. The road down
Old Pine was treacherous, icy from
the warm monday sun and the mid
night frosts. 1t was full of quick
dips and turns, which sent many a
youth careering over the snow crust
on head and shoulders while his sled
followed a path of its own in another
direction.
Mowbray's long coaster, of stout oak
frame, shod with springy steel run
ners, was paused for another birdlike
flight when a vehicle appeared on the
bridge, headed toward Old Pine. 1t
was an old fashioned cutter drawn
by ponderous farm horse. A splotch
of red was visible above the cutter,
whereUpon Toms heart beat inconti-
nently. Horse and cutter were the
property of John Higgins, Mowbray's
neighbor on the north; the carmine was
tam O. shanter, and the person be-
meath it was Mrs. Higgins pretty niece
from Boston, Miss Jessie Boone.

caught the prim and unaccustomed
manner in which the girl held the
reins, and he smiled "Drivings some
thing new for her, but she's safe as Il
church. Duke won't run away, al
though"-the smile became a grin
Il don't say $ he won't balk."
Kincassett, the nearest town. was
two miles back of Old Pine. Long
years of jogging along the road and
Dver the steep hill had made a nissan

sometimes he went for months without
n protest, mute Indignation visible,
however, in every line Of his sturdy
sid frame as he approached Old Pine.
| Duke had evidently been on his good
behavior or the Higginses would never
have trusted their guest to his tender
mercies.
The horse and his idiosyncrasies did
not long occupy Mowbray's mind. Miss
Boone was a much more agreeable
subject for thought, a subject which
had been ever present in MOwbray' S
brain since her arrival a week before.
"She's the incest girl l know" said
the young man to himself with entire
onviction. "These big gray eyes of
hers. l wonder" and flush for which
the nipping morning air was not al
together responsible overspread his
face, eff she's got fellow in Boston"
Duke, wise old equine, knew that nc

brisk trot his gait insensibly slackened
to a shuttle. When the slope of Ole
