"Guide" Branches Out.

J. H. Williams, an old and we'll
known city guide, whose headquarters
are around the White House, some
time ago came to the conclusion that
the word guide was too common and
vulgar, and now he wears a badge
bearing the inscription, ~"City Delinea-
tor, No. l." All the other guides are
green with envy, while Mr. Williams
is having his hands full of business.
Il have been asked time and again
whether delineator is good word as
applying to my business said De-
lineator Williams, land 4 have an
severed that it is better than any other
word that can be used. The diction
AIRY gives the word delineator as mean
ing to describe so as to present a pic
ture to the mind; to set forth in lively
manner That is what we try to do.
Besides, there are so many men who
wear badges bearing the word guide
that it has gotten to be common, and
don't like it,
White House and other guides of
Washington are not required to wear
official badges, and are really under no
restrictions as to their manner OF do
ing business.

CockreIl in Ill Health.

Francis Marion Cockrell, formerly
United States senator from Missouri
and now a member of the interstate
commerce commission, is in a some
what precarious condition, not having
recovered as rapidly from his partial
breakdown of month ago. He is
compelled to remain closely in his
washington residence and at the re-
cent election, for the first time in 80
years, was unable to cast his vote.
For more than 80 years he probably
has been the hardest worker in pub
Tic life. Several years ago his ply
sicians warned him to perform less
labor, but he disregarded this admo-
milton, and even now his family has
a hard time to keep him from over
working himself. He has not gone
to the Offices of the interstate COM
merce commission for month, but
insists upon doing a certain amount
of official work at his residence every
day, including Sunday.
