SUBURB OF THEIR OWN.
Washington Newspaper Men 10 Lay
 Out Novel Rural Retreat.

Washington is about to have q sub urb like unto which there is nothing in the records of things suburban, says the Washington Post Probably the most remarkable thing about this sub urb Is that It is not going to be put on the market. This is not it's only unique feature, for 1t iS to have no streets, and man with a bank ac count of H0r2 than three figures will not be welcomed within its limits.
 It Is to be a truly rural" suburb, controlled by diminutive suburban trust and If the plans of its builders materialze the civic millennium will have been discovered and folks living out Chevy Chase way will have mod el settlement where great social prob lens will have been solved, where there will be neither capital nor labor, where politics will be an entity and the lion and the lamb will lie down together.
 The trust that is about to give being to this mysterious suburb is composed of Washington newspaper men who, with modesty that is paradoXlcal, re quest that their names be not publish ed. About six months ago when Wash inSton ges.rally was warming it's feet at gfate fires and steam radiators, these men-siX in numbef-bought part of Clean Drink ing manor. just b the eastward of Chevy Chase lake and adjoining the estate of Old Nick Jones.
 The tract, tWenty=three acres in all ia covered with q natural growth of tim ber-in fact, it Is vertable forest. The six newspaper men have divided the property. and each one Is preparing to construct thereon q low, rambling bungalow Of logs, with rough shingIe roofs, broad porehes, dormer windows and all that sort of thing.
 Instead Of streets the boys have pre- vided for typical country roads wipdng through the trees, thus retaining to marked degree the rustic effect The material for the bungalows will be cut from the roadways and from the clear tngs for the building sites. The entire tract is to be fenced In, little pathways will be laid out under the pines and the poplars and the elms, the wilderness of honeysucIe will be left undsturbed md the members of the suburban trust gill settle down far from the lnadding crowd

REUNION OF MULE SklNNERs
Old Plainsmen to Gather at Tonga-

What will be the first and perhaps the last reunion of the early day mule skinncrs" and "bull whaCkers" is to be held at TonganoXie. Leavenworth county, Kan. during the Old Settlers reunion Aug. B, 9 and 10, and all of these old teaMsters who aided in set ting the west. fought the Indians and trayeled thousands of miles across the prairies before the Union Pacific rail way was built have been extended an Invitation to attend, says Leayea- worth 0<anD special dispatch to the NJ Louis Republic.
 In the earir ffties Westport, Mo; Leavenworth and Atclison. Kan. and Weston and St Joseph, Mo. were ont fitting points for transportation co... panicS Prairie schoonors by the AIA- dreds have gone out of these towns in a days time, some drawn by from twelve to SiNzeon oxen, others by from six to ten auIlos.

The "bull Hlae eker' was so dubbed be cause of hi, 'ang whip but Inc was not SO fortunate as tho mule skinner" !H being able 70 ride behind his team, having to walk along about tue center of his line of animals where lie could reach each one with his whip. There Are old "9Iaekcrs" who claim to have walked the distance around the world following oX teams across the deserts to Colorado Texas and California.
 After the t,nion Pacific drove the prairie schooners out of business the majority Of these old time western mon settled in the river counties in Kansas. Missouri anl Nebraska. took up home steads and began farming. In leaven- worth and Atellison counties. in Kan sas, there are said to be no less than fifty aged farmers who came west ia the ffties and obtained work driving mule and OK teams over the Kansas praries in the service of tbe govern ment or for private companies.
 In all of the river cities in those days these companies maintained big cor rals, some with as high as 200 animals, and in the carly history of Leaven- worth during the border ru1tian days il Is told that there were enough prairie schooners there to form a circle com pletely surrounding the town when ii was attacked, As late as the early sev snties OK teams drew loads of lumber and merchandise into l.eavenworth, but 1t is doubtful if there is now in eastern Kansas such an outfit.

NOVEL USE FOR SKUNK.
Maine Farmer Has Trained One to
 Shoo Away Trnmps.


 Shoo Away Tramps.
 A new method of getting rid of tramps has been discovered by Joseph Quantran, a farmer and trapper living in the edge of the Molunkus woods, ip Maine. His place is on the direct line used by tramps. and he Is so delighted with the way his plan works that he Is advising others to do likewise, says a special dispatch from Macwahoc, Me. to the New York World. It is not like ly. though, that many folks will adopt his plan of campaign.
 Quantrain had tried all kinds of dogs and had even used a set gun loaded with salt, but the tramps continued to sneak into his barnyard, steal his chick ems and even invade his cellar. When he was in the fields or woods they would threaten his wife and make themselves thoroughly obnoxious. So one day when he met fellow trapper leading a tame skunk by a chain he got an idea. He set a box trap, caug youuA polccat and brought il nn s'e that it would treat him with du" re Spcct, pul iutke US presence hlioN II l'i all strangers.
 He kept it in an old barn at some distance from the house, so that II would not salute his friends, and at night let It loose in the front yar1. The experiment. worked to perfect ion, for the very first night a tramp raNc in contact with the little a@imal and beat a retreat, bowling as he ran. Thereafter he had no trouble with noe turnal visitors. Let one set foot with In tn. yard and he instantly regretted 1t Now and then a mistake was made, but in the long run the skunk kept pret- ty close to his assignment. Now. Quan- train says, the tramps have passed the word along that his place is no poach- Ing ground for one of the fraternity and they give him a wide berth.

DOCTORS UP IN A BALLOON

First Ascension In Interest of Physi- oioaical Research. 4 balloon trip which Is expected to have wide results In the aeronartic world was recently made at Philadel phia by Dr. Samuel Jottinser and Dr. T. Chalmers Fultou both we'll known physicians of that city and graduates of the Jefferson Medical college, says a Philadelphia special dispa tch to the New York World.
 Meteorological experiments have hcep made from balloons for several years but this trip was. so far as is known the first balloon ascension ever made for the purpose of physiological re search.
 The aeronauts landed in field four miles southwest of Media Pa. twenty miles from their starting point, shortly after o'clock in the evening after be ing up nearly five hours. The landin2 was without mishap CT incident, the balloon settling easily to the ground. They reached an altitude of more than three miles and say that the views above the clouds surpass description.
 They pronounce their experiments very successful and say that they have collected data which Is destined to have wide influence on the aeronautical world. Experiments tried alternately on each other at high attitudes prove the theory that the rapid changes ill al titude that attend ballooning are bene fcial to nervous diseases of the eye and to respiratory diseases They also made observations as to the effects on blood circulation.
 The balloon was lent by members ot the Aero club of New York. It has q capacity of 55.00O cubic feet. Puro coal gas which is much more buoyant than the commercial illumlnant of coal and water gvs mixed, was used.
 Professor Charles King. Philadcl phia's grand old man" of aeronautics superintended the preparations. It took three hours to fill the bag.
