phere OF thefar East to the Executive
Mansion. Rare prints In the best
manner OF japanese and Chinese art,
some done on ricepsper and some on

But those OF greatest value and
consequence are In the consignment
which Is now held at the Georgetown
customhouss. The Collector, II. 8.

guard the gifts until Miss Roosevelt
makes the formal entry OF the goods
and applies for proper assessment OF
their value. Then, upon payment Of

souvenirs Of her Oriental journey.
Unless Miss Roosevelt is very gen.
erous she will not have to buy ma.
terisl for summer gowns or ball
dresses for Eve years to come. The
Dowager Empress Of China gave her
twelve bolts OF embroidered crepe in

She has dozens Of weblike lace and
embroidered silk stockings, and para,
soils Of sllcolors with ieweled handles.

OF her bedroom and boudoir are be-

The screens are masterpieces OF ORR
entail art and will be put in the state
parlors. 1t is also stated that, owing |
to their value and unlqueness, the
President may present them to the
White House to become part OF the
historic possessions OF the mansion.
Some OF the draperies are equally |
costly and may share the same fate. |
The Presidents daughter will wear
some glorious strings Of jade beads
this winter, gifts OF the Miksdo, and
her stock OF iewelry will be increased
by pearl ring from the Sultan Of
Sulu, bracelets and pendants from |
the Empress Of China and many Gu

that he was 20, and leaves a family
OF five children.
"Well come to think OF him, he
must have been 70. He did not come
TO the school where knew him until
he was nearly grown. His father
vas a hemp raiser and owned a thou
sand acres and twenty negroes. He
wanted his boys in the hemp field,
just as he did his slaves.
"This boy was finally turned out
to school. He came to town In an
outfit that made him the wonder OF
the school.
"He wore blue jeans homespun

and fastened with brass buttons. He
also wore high hat-a stovepipe as
It was then called. Such hats we're

by gentlemen on Sundays.

with that hat, but soon gave it up.
The country pumpkin was q hitter
and he licked the whole school into

"He put us sll to shame by the
rapid advancement he made In bis

along in the first lessons. He became
the orator Of the class In elocution.

But just about this time that

HE became the richest farmer in

to be q source OF revenue long ago,
but he tickled the soil Of his thous.

he continued to accumulate wealth.

THAT CITY HALL QUESTION
At Present We Have No Hall for
Public Gatherings .. Should
Build This Spring

Build This Spring
Some time ago the question was
brought Up about building a city
hall, but, however, as yet the much
needed building has not been built.
As Worth,ngton has no opera
house or a large hall of any kind lat
all, why would it not be a wise
policy for the mem bers of the city
council to get their heads together
and by the early spring have this
question settled forever, and haveEit
started ythat time. A city this size
it seems ought to afford to errect a
building Of q size so as to be able to
seat at least six or seven hundred
people, but as it is there is no place
TO hold public gatherings at any
time. 4
Now let US take this matter up at
once and have this hall started early
in the spring, and not look only to
the present population Of the city
but to the future prosperity and
up building of Warrington and it's
surrounding country. 81
