prominent place in tho social and ON
cial life of the national capital. It was
Built by Col. John Tayloe in the latter
part Of the eighteenth century, upon
the advice of no less a 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 2
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 a year. When he
built the Octagon house his income
had increased to $4,000 a year. His
establishment was known throughout
the country for it's 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.

commission, although he has been
very much opposed to what is known
as the McKim commission, that was
appointed on a resolution of the senate
and paid out Of the contingent fund of
that body. Uncle Joe'' always re-
garded that commission as having op-
Grated without proper legal authority,
and he has not disguised his opposi-
ton to carrying out it's plans and rec
concentrations.
Under the plan proposed by the SEN
ate the commission will not cost the
to put up an extra building or to pro-
vide any additional space because of
this plan. The only question to be de-
cided by 1t is whether new buildings
as they are from time to time erected
shall follow harmonious general
scheme or be built up in the old hap
hazard way. 1t is very easy to see
now where improvements could have
been made in the building up of Wash
ington as it is. The public buildings
have been erected without any order,
and their beauty has been hidden and
the general effects badly married by
planting them here, there and every
where.

pie sugar and make the toothsome ma
pie syrup a still better known article
Of food Oh the American table. Since
1850 the area of maple sugar farming
has greatly changed and shrunk. In
the early days of the country maple
sugar was commonly made even in
many parts of the south, because cane
sugar was virtually unobtainable.
Now there is no maple sugar produced
in the southern states.
In Indiana, Michigan and Illinois the
maple trees have been extensively cut
for lumber and the production Of ma
| pie sugar and strip has been reduced
to a minimum, while cheap limitations
Of this delicious article are flooding the
markets. The present largest pro-
ducers of sugar maple products are
Ohio, Vermont and New York. The
sugar and black maple yield the most
and the best sap. The maple is a
hardy and vigorous tree and readily
reproduces itself; so that the bureau
of forestry believes that with proper
attention extensive groves Of this val
liable tree can be preserved aud grown.
1t is figured out that farmer can cas-
| lily clear from three to five dollars an
acre from a sugar grove, and as it re-
quires no cultivation and the farmer
can do most of his own work the profit
is considerable
Secretary Wilson is aiding all he can
in furthering this sweet work and in
the bulletins he has issued from his
department there are minute instruc-
lions how to collect the maple sap
with the least damage to the trees and

Maj. Warner, as he served two terms
in the house from 'S5 to '89. He knows
the ropes and he did not let the grass
grow under his feet when his election
as senator practically made him the
republican referee in the distribution
Of federal patronage in Missouri. He
has been a frequent visitor to Wash
jngton during this spring and summer,
and in every sense is persona grata"
at the white house, where he is well
come caller.
1t has been suggested that when Maj.
Warner supplies the congressional de-
-ectory with his biography he might
limit it to one or two lines and state
an interesting history in these words:
lat six an ore picker on the dump at
the mouth of mine. At IS member
Of the United States senate
This distinguished statesman was
the youngest of six children and lost
his father when he was five years old,
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 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
ing school at 20 years of age, to ena-
bic him to pass through college, when
he enlisted in the army. He dis
missed his school the day he enlisted
and told the scholars go home; there
will be no more school until you get a
new teacher"
