storm or shine to buy her the candy that she
loved. Never again should they seek to outdo
each other in drawing on the board the pig
that should suit her best-she was never tired
of pigs. -,
Il know what you boys have done," said
the man, in choking voice. I've heard how
you rescued my little girl, and how you've
taken care of her. l can't say what l feel;
but maybe if you would come down to st.
John, her mother might. l had been on a
voyage to the West Indies, and my wife and
the little girl went with me. We had rough
weather coming home. My wife had stayed
below so much that she felt as if she must
have a breath of fresh air, and she came on
deck with the little girl in her arms.
"There came one of those terrible waves that
a man who follows the sea is apt to see once
or twice in lifetime-the Lord knows where
they come from-and knocked her down, and
swept the child out of her arms overboard
"Well, we lowered boat, and and the
mate and two of the crew went out in it,
but it was dashed to pieces like an egg-shell; 4;
we only just escaped with our lives. l knew
it was no use. l never had the least hope from

a piece of woods that occupied one corner of
the lot, and played with his lasso.
But the boys had hardly got heated up in
their game when they heard moaning sort OF
roar that was enough to frighten the biggest
and boldest of them.
A bull, which had been the sole tenant OF
the old field, heard their shouts, and came
down by the patch of woods to investigate the
invaders.
The sight of one of the boys red shirts made
him furious, and he rushed for the ball
party, with his head down and his eyes gleam-
ing.
They scattered and ran; but the fence was
far away, and the bull was close behind them,
and it seemed to be a sure thing that some OF
them must suffer.
But Tom Roden had watched the charge of
the infuriated beast, and he was standing at

muttered Tom Roden, as he walked

scholars, who had shut him out OF
their sports.
Tom was not much mistaken in his guess
! He had just entered the school, and he had
come from far-off Texas, and his life had been
{passed on cattle farm, where he had had few
4 opportunities for study, and of those few ne
had availed himself but poorly. He was low

voted him heavy and stupid, and named him

|; The next day was the first Saturday of the
D term, and the boys had planned grand excur-
] sion into the woods.
Early in the morning they set out, loaded
with provisions, fishing tackle, and all appli,.
ances for big holiday, with the exception OF
guns, which were not allowed.
Tom Roden carried nothing but long and
strong rope, which he had been seen greasing
lid working over for two days, and in the
end Of which he had skillfully knotted slip
moose.
"What are you going to do with that, Tex
as?" asked Ben Travis.
"Just taking it along to play with" replied
\ Tom. "It sorter reminds me of home, and
don't want to forget my old tricks while am
learning new ones"
After wandering through the forest they
came to Swift Creek, narrow, deep and rap
! id stream. 1t was too wide for jumping
across, and the water was too cold for swim
ming.
AS they wanted to get on the other side,
and had brought an AK, it occurred to them
that they might cut down tree, so that it
would fall across the creek, and form a
bridge.
So they set at work, but poor job they
made of it, tiring themselves out with hacking
that was nothing like chopping. Then Tom
Roden interfered.
'Scuse me, fellers," said he, "but I reckon
you had better let me do that, as it's in my
line. If you will look up that tree you will
see that it would never fall across the branch.
Let's find another"
He found tree that suited him, and in a
few minutes he cut it down, lodging the top
on the other side of the creek and leaving a

boys knows how he wriggles and twists
through the opening exercise, rattles his paper
when the superintendent calls "Silence!" and
''What shall be done with him?'' asks the

tremor in her voice and tired, long g-drawn
sigh. Well, in the first place. have him sit

-Four Famous Statues

T@7HE most famous statues in history
are the Colossus of Rhodes, the
Sphinx and the vocal statue of
INNMNN1 Memnon at Thebes, and of these the
SS last is the most remarkable, in
consequence of its property of emit
ting sounds when its lips were touched by
the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed
to greet the coming day. 1t was originally
a portrait model of King Amenophis III, and
was one OF pair of statues between sixty and
seventy feet high, carved out of single blocks
of sandstone, and transported from the quar-
ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved
from the living rock in the place where it
now stands.
OF statues not so well known the most re-
markable is that of Buddha at Nara, near
Kioto, in Japan, which was erected A. D..
HOO. 1t is made of bronze and is ffty-three
feet six inches high and more than twenty
eight feet broad across the shoulders On its
head are 966 curls, and the image is sur
rounded by glory or halo seventyeght feet
in diamater, on which sixteen images, each
eight feet long, are cast. Two smaller images,
each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of
the larger one. The total weight of metal in
..fhe main figure is about $50 tons, of which
500 pounds consists of gold.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
FAMILY REUNION.
Human Interest Crops Out in Juve-
nile Court Case.

The influence of the Juvenile Court as an
agency for good was well illustrated yes
terday afternoon when Judge DeLacy sue
ceeded in reuniting a couple that had been
separated for many months. Back of the
proceedings yesterday story of in
compatibility of temper. The father had
determined that the fifteen-year-o daugh-
ter and ten-year-old son, who were In the
custody of the mother, should be brought
before Judge DeLacy to determine ques-
ton as to their incorrigibility.
This was the situation that confronted the
guardian of all the juveniles of the capital
city as he sat upon the bench of the court
yesterday afternoon. The school of re-
form doomed up before the children as
final solution of the problem presented in
warning of the parents-or, possibly, long
probation period under the surveillance of
the chief probation officer of the court.
Judge DeLacy determined, after going
into the case. that the proper course was
10 reconcile the parents and that the bet
terment of the children lay in a plan to
have the parents reEew the life that had
been interrupted
Judge DeLacy broaehed the subiect but
the husband and father said reunion. was
impossible. He was unalterably opposed
to anything of the sort being attempted.
The wife was Of the same opinion, although
she was not SO determined as was the hus-
band.
The judge reminded both that what God
had bound together no man should put
asunder. He told them of the great good
they could do to their children then before
the court. and placed before them their
duty as husband and wife. and as citizens
OF the community. They both seemed OBJ
durate. but later Judge DeLacy took the
couple into his private office where he
talked with them for more than an hour.
At the close of the conference the man and
his wife had adjusted their differences
Ga altering his boy in his arms th, father
loo lnI
thanked him fer the interest he had taken
In his family and said life would be brighter
FOR him than. 1t had been. Together the
parents and their children went 10 their
nome again to take up the duties and
pleasures of life in company Their names
were not given out.

CROWDS SAW CIRCUS
BAD WEATHER DIDN'T AFFECT
PAWNEE BILL SHOW.

It was bad weather for the Pawnee BIZ
show last night, but about 5000 people
turned out for the evening performances.
There was slight mist in the air, and
the ground was soft and uncertain enough
to give the rough riding in the ring all the
excitement of an automobile race, where
1t Is constantly a question Of the particle
pants beating the emergency ambulance to
the wire.
The show was given on the big circus
grounds at 18th and H streets northeast. 1t
was a bigger show than Pawnee Bill had
ever brought to the capital before. In adj
dition to the wild west attractions that
used to characterize the exhibition, there
were this year the skilled riders and other
performers of the orient. There was the
usual collection of cowboys and vaqueros
buck!ng ponies and American cavalrymen
but there were also troops Of Arabs, Fill
pinos, Cossacks, Japanese and some Aus
tralian bushmen with their boomerangs
The grand entry. with which the perform
ance opened was sight to be remembered,
for the horses of all nations were followed
by the long horned Philippine carabao,- by
elephants and camels. with a whole herd
of Mexican burros and string of dainty
Shetland ponies that were a delight to the
children.
The rifle and revolver shooting of Winona,
the champion woman markSfnan of the
show, YVES a revelation. She broke glass
balls and clay targets with apparent indif-
ference as to whether they were in the air
or on the ground or on top of a mans head.
Caught Speeding Horses.
The roping of the cowboys, which is al
ways onNof the attractive features of the
show, was well up to the standard. They
captured running horses, caught each 9TH
er and executed jerk throws with trailing
rope just as well by the swinging over
head throw. Both the Mexicans and Amer
the hemps making the big moose revolve
in the air, using it as a skipping rope and
jumping in and out of it's coils and alto
gether seeming to have about good con-
troll of the flying circle as though it had
been alive and especially trained to obey
them.
The attack on the settlers cabin with
the assistance of the Indians and there
pulse by the cowboys was exciting and
realistic. The rough riding of the cowboys
and the Cossacks was almost equally good
and it could be noticed that the two bands
had picked up tricks from each other, for
some of the cowboys emuated the dis
tinctive Cossack trick of standing on their
heads on running horse. Prince Luki
the leader of the Cossacks, discarded his
saddle and gave daring exhibition of bare
back riding doing some of his saber tricks
well as if he were in the saddle or on
the ground.
The show did not stay over for Monday
performance, leaving the city last night.

THE SENATE KITCHEN
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED BY MR.. WOODS.

The extensive improvements to the kitch-
en- Of the United States Senate which have
been planned by Mr.. Elliott Woods and for
which Congress made liberal appropriations
at the last session, have given rise to sto-
ries about the terrible condition In which
that source Of food Of senators has been
found Ttyaiing those in some OF the pack
ing houses Of the country. The fact Is. the
Senate kitchen has been about as clean as
such establishments anywhere, but with
the advance in late years in the equipment
Of the realms Of the cook, it was considered
highly~proper that the Senate should keep
up with the good things Of the world in
that respect.
At the last session of Congress the Senate
committee on rules appropriated $4,000
with which to improve the Senate kitchen
and restaurant The House committee on
rules also allowed the expenditure of tidy
sum with which to improve its kitchen, es-
pecially with view of charging it sufii-
GENTLY to meet the requirements Mr..
Woods will also exercise more authority In
the future in looking after the conduct of
the Senate and House restaurants and
kitchens. In order to effectually do away
with all danger of having rats in the
kitchens the old floors will be replaced by
concrete. Cold storage rooms will be pro-
vided and Ice plants will be installed This
will be the first Ice plant in the Capitol.
The improvements contemplate the intro
duction of a bakeshop for the preparation
of bread and pies.
Both the Senate and House kitchens will
be provided with the most modern furni-
ture. For instance, steel tables will be
used. In the making of these arrangements
everything possible is being done to secure
quick service Both senators and represent
atives like to get their orders for luncheon
filled as quickly as possible.
When the new Senate and House office
buildings have been completed there will
be restaurants in them for the accommoda-
ton of senators and representatives who
have more time than is necessary for q
quick lunch. They will be able to have
their friends as their guests, but the restau-
rants in the main building will always be
retained for quick service.
