AROUND THE CITY

A white embroidered woman from SPOT
less Town was waylaid by a microbe of a
boy He wanted her to buy shoestrngs
A student Of fashion could have seen by
her dress that she wasn't the sort of
woman to tolerate cotton shoe laces, but
perhaps the microbe possessed the instinct
that makes a street Arab know his friends
Anyhow, he asked her to buy shoestrings,
and while she looked him over he rammed
his knuckles in his eyes.
He was very small, even for microbe
and the dirt that grimed him from bare
head to bare toes was of character that
Mr.. Venus would have classified as '.vari-
ous."
The woman from Spotless Town, knowing
the supreme satisfaction Of cleanliness
said:
You poor. dirty little boy, why don't you
wash your face? If l give you nickel will
you promise me to buy a cake of soap?'
The microbe, who had taken his knuckles
out Of his eyes and extended his hand in ex-
pectation OF a trade, drew it back.
Nome won't buy no soap
She must have recognized the honesty Of
a microbe who could so easily have de-
ceived her, for she put her hand on his
head.
of course, child. the soap money would
have been. extra. Here. this is for the
~

cause I'm goin' to buy me little kid
sister an orange. She's too sick to eat what
We got an she wants an orange an can't
get nome
The white embroidered woman didn't walt
for details or to verify statements. She Just
went back in the shop and took the microbe
with her. She loaded him down with
dozen oranges and lot of frosted pound
cake. and when they were on the street
again and she had given him a half dollar
In parting, the little fellow said:
'Thanky. lady. I'm goin' to buy some
soap-deed am"
It was sensational promise, but the
woman went OF with the smiling conviction
that the microbe would keep his word.
The patients at the smallpox hospital had
an Ice cream treat the other day, and while
they Toasted the suspects at the detention
camp waited for freezer that never came
The superintendent of the camp had
promised his guests Ice cream for dessert
and when It failed to arrive he got busy
with the telephone and demanded the cause
OF delay. Answer came from ice cream

livered. the driver had left II at the gate :.
And so the driver had, only 1t happened
to be the hospital gate
A young woman strolling in the hospital
grounds saw the freezer and Immediately
came to conclusion. She knew John had
sent her thatscream. and she wanted every
body to help her eat 1t.
And everybody did
1t was convincing tribute to her frances
generosity, even If he didn't deserve it that
time. buN-thats why the folks at the de-
tention camp had to go without cream
Aboard the car to Forest Glen:
Two members OF the federated clubs were
discussing the Maryland law In regard 10
children.
Behind them sat couple of colored wo-
| men who here the stamp of the fields.
"Jes lis,n at dem ladies' goin on bout We

voice took on the richness of very short
pie crust.
The Maryland law was forgotten.
The motorman of an Anacostia car had
turned the crank that started the wheels
when a wisp of little old woman shuffied
out the cobbles ahead, just in time to be
too late.
She must have been extraordinarily anx-
ious to catch the car, for she looked i'm
ploringIy at the motorman, and lifting her
arms put her hands together like little
child at prayer.
The motorman reversed the crank, the
wheels stopped, and the little old woman
got aboard.
Her prayer was answered.
'It hurts to lose an old friend, even II
the friend Is only a tree"
The man who said 1t was one of dozen
or more who had stopped to watch the
chopping down of the White House elm
that had been hopelessly broken the day
before by the storm.
The man who listened simply nodded as
he picked a leaf from the branch that lay
sprawled across the tagging and laid 1t in
his pocketbook.
Yes, 1t hurts.

Pumped With Furious Zeal.

Spectators pumped with furious zeal
frenchwomen had never enjoyed the right
to vote In their lives before and exercised
1t with enthusiasm. For their first time OF
voting they voted well, for the large hat
party has been hopelessly beaten at tho
polls. 1t is true that many ladies who
cstentatiously dropped a mo hat paper
into the ballot box were wearing monu-
ments. but they pleaded that they were
the slaves of fashion, and would welcome a
change IN the tyranny of modes. The men
naturally voted almost solid against the
large nat. but some paradoxmoagers sup
ported the status quo, including a cynical
critic, who said that the larger the hat
lii frolt OF him the more commodiousiy he
could see the play. 1t was not the male
vote only which carried the day. for hardly
q man went alone TO the theater on ballot
night, as all the ladies insisted on being
taken 10 the play In order to enjoy the
sensation of the franchise. Some husbands
OF large hatters were publicly threatened
by their wives, but most of them stood
firm, resisted intimidation. but pumped
with the majority. The total number OF
votes polled was III. 742, as follows: For
no hats, 5S.3l3; for small hats, 81, 767: for
large hats, 1,65G.

Joint Statehood Bill Beaten

Washington. March 9.-Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin almost carried
CONSERVATION into the ranks of the
joint statehood forces this AFTERNOON
when, in the senate, he delivered an
impassioned appeal against their pro-
tests into statehood with New Mexico.
He objects TO the courts of New
Mexico. which were conducted
through Interpreters.
Advocates of the measure had dis
credited their own, report. he nverred,
in the previous congress swnen they
set forth why Arizona vas united for
statehood which her people then de
manded. The speech, il is believed
by many, sounded the death knel at
this congress of the measure provi1
ing for two new states cut of the four
territories.
Leaders on the republican 81 lie OF
the chamber express the belief tonight
that the senate will strike from the bill
Arizona and New Mexico and leave il
to the house to decide whether stlye-
hood is to be denied Oklahoma and
Indian Territory.
