prominent place in the social and off,
cial life Of the national capital. 1t was
built by Col. John Tayloe in the latter
part OF the eighteenth century, upon
the advice of no less person than
George Washington
This old house is octagonal in shape
and was occupied by President Madi-
son after the British burned the white
house in 1914. The treaty of Client,
which closed our second war with
England, was signed by President
Madison in the circular room in this
house, which is now used by the sec
rotary Of the American Institute of
Architects as an Office. The lot is tri-
angular in form and fenced in by a
high brick wall.
Col. John Tayloe was an immensely
wealthy man for his period. At the
age of 20 it is said he had an income
OF nearly 100000 year. When he
built the Octagon house his income
had increased to $4,000 a year. His
establishment was known throughout
the country for its entertainments and
up to the time of his death in 1928 he
had entertained within the hospitable
doors at his mansion all the noted men
of that period, among whom might be
named Jefferson, Madison, Monroe John
Quincy Adams, Decatur, Porter, La
fayette, Steuben, Webster, Clay, Cal
houn, and long list of lesser lights.

BIG DEER LEAPS ON
A FLYING TRAIN
Pursued by Hound, It Boards Freight
Train Passing Through Cut,
in Effort to Escape.

Montpelier. VIA deer story comes
from Tetford, small village on the
Passumpsic division of the Boston z
Maine railroad.
A freight train, north bound. was
running easily down a slight grade aft
er leaving Tetford. when the engineer
heard above the noise of his locomo-
tive the sharp baying of a hound. He
slowed down a little as he was ap-
preaching wooded cut, and believed
a dog was driving COWS toward the
track.
AS the train neared the fringe of
the wood the engine driver caught q
glimpse of big doe heading straight
for the cut. Evidently she was be-
ing chased by the hound, and, know
ing that she would not stop at any
thing, and fearing that he could not
stop his train, he opened the throttle
and shot ahead. He was trying to
get by ahead of the doe, but the ami
NAL was too fleet of foot, and as the
train shot through the cut both en-
gineer and fireman were astonished to
see the doe leap on an open fiat car.
Keep her going until l can get
back to her." shouted the fireman, who
had already begun to scramble over
the tender. Keep up speed, and she
won't jump"
The engineer opened the throttle an
other notch, and the train was soon
humping along at the rate of 80 miles
an hour. In the meantime the con-
ductor and rear brakeman, whose at
tention had been attracted by the in
creased speed, climbed to the top of
the CHOOSE to ascertain the reason,
and saw the doe frantically running I'D
and down the car. She peered over
first one side and then the other, and
as it was plain that she was going to
jump, anyhow, the conductor signaled
the engineer to slow down.
The engineer put on the brakes, and
procuring rope, the trainmen start
ed to capture the deer alive. As soon
as the now thoroughly terrified ami
NAL saw her new danger she pressed
forward over three fiat cars and came
up short against -four car with such
force that she fell to the floor This
was the signal for the would-be cap
tors, and the three men were soon on
top Of her. They took care not to in
jure the doe, but she was not so con-

1t has been suggested that when Mai

rectory with his biography he might
limit it to one or two lines and state
an interesting history in these words:

This distinguished statesman was

and year later lost his mother He
was employed in the lead mines of
southern Wisconsin at the age of six
and earned his bread by picking up
bits of ore from the refuse piled about
the mouths of the shaft. From this
work he was promoted to drive an old
horse that worked the mine pump.
Through hardships of this sort he
worked his way in the mine, and at
ten years of age secured a place in a
grocery store, and for four years
worked and studied and saved enough
money to pay board and tuition for a
year at small college. He was teach

ADMITS MURDER.
Fred ziemann Of Neenah Pleads Guilty
to Killing His Wife.

Menominee, Mich, Feb. 12.-Freo
Ziemann pleaded guilty to the charge
OF wife murder and will be sentenced
at the close of the term. His homo
was in Neenah, and after several quar-
rels his wife left him and came to Nc
nominee with her children to live.
Ziemann came after her. The crime
was done in the house OF James Smith
brother-in-law OF the dead woman.
About o'clock, while the Smith fam,
lily were eating breakfast, Ziemann
raped at the door and inquired for
his wife. She went into the parlor
with him, but left all the doors open,
as she feared he might have revol-
yer.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Ziemann
appeared at the door covered with
blood, staggered into the room and
dropped to the floor. Then Ziemann
slashed his own throat.
