BRUSH YOUR STRAW HAT.
from the Marring Effects
of Rain

Eyes, l know" said the hat man
people never think of brushing theil
straw hats, the straw doesn't seem tC
be a hat made to be brushed, the dust
doesn't show on it SO much, and SC
they brush all their other hats and let
their straw hats 80.
But if they would brush their
straw hats as they do the others they
would keep fresh and good-looking
much longer; this is NOT so much on
account OF the brushing itself as be-
cause of the protection shat brushing
it, keeping it clean, gives it from the
effects of moisture.
What puts a straw hat out of bust
ness, in appearance, is rain. Let drops
of rain fall on a dusty hat and every
drop spreads and fixes the dust, or
which it falls and makes the hat
dingy. The same rain falling on a
clean hat would have far less effect or
its appearance.
Brush your straw hat, and the rib
bon, too, just as you would any other
and you will have the satisfaction OF
keeping it in fair condition, a hat fit tc
wear the season through"

1.-THE fad Of tracing ones ancestors

Mortimer e. Walker, Of Boston, relates
the Milwaukee Sentinel. Zone winter
| spent some time in a certain south
ern city which is noted for it's blue
blooded and exclusive inhabitants.
There was much jealousy in the high
est social circles, as there we're two
factions which desired the honor of
being the original grandees. Finally
the leader of M faction gathered to-
gether a few friends and started a
society known as the Daughters OF
Ferdinand de Soto.
This was supposed to be the ultra
fashionable. society of the city, and
one by one the aspiring matrons pro-
duced the indisputable proof that they
were eligible for membership. Finally
one of the younger set had the temeri-
ty to try and force an entrance into
the charmed circle. She was black
balled almost unanimously.
"She determined to lie revenged, and
to that end did little real Investigate
ing which was more thorough than
any ancestor hunt which was ever
made in that city. Tie result of her
Investigations she made public, and the
result was the utter rout of the daugh-
tiers. For the young woman proved be-
yond the question of a doubt that Fer
dinand de Soto had died a bachelor"

Theodore Roosevelt The FIRST
President Entertained at
The Executive
Mansion.

In the excitement of graduation day
at the Naval Academy yesterday aud
the many notable incidents connected
with the visit of the President to An
napolis. there was little mention made
of the fact that for probably the first
time in history a President of the
United States was entertained at the
Marylan Executive Mansion.
In his speech also before the gradu-
ates President Roosevelt paid very
warm compliment to Governor War
field for the interest which he had
manifested in the midshipmen, partic-
ularly by the late reception to the
graduates. When the President left
the Naval Academy for the station on
his return trip yesterday he made it a
point TO allow little time and directed
tile driver to take him to the Execu-
tive Mansion. He called there and
met the members of the Governor $
family and Secretary of State Oswald
Tilghman.
The President spent quarter of an
hour at the Mansion and every one
was charmed with his geniality and
naturalness. He drove directly from
the Mansion to the station of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Railroad, where he took the special
train in waiting for him for Philadel
phia, where he was to deliver an adj
dress last night.

Where Is Arrowood ?

The Bureau of Navigation has re-
ceived letter from the father of Mid
shipman Arrowood. who has been
absent without leave from the battle.
ship Kearsarge for several weeks. The
father, who lives in North Carolina,
expresses great regret that his son
should have taken this action. but
does not seem anxious as to his safety.
AS the Navy Department has no
precise knowledge that the young Off
Ger may not have met with foul play
or have been detained without so de-
string, he is not yet listed as desert
er. In all its aspects the case is rather
puzzling. Young Arrowood is grad
uate of last years class, and was as
signed to the Kearsarge. He has ten
dered his resignation to the Depart
ment, which refused to accept it, as
no sufficient grounds were given by
the young officer.
