BEAUTY OF CAPITAL CITY.
Texans View Of Duty Of American
People

DR.. H. M. Davidson of Hubbard City,
Tex, who has been in Washington several
days, stopping at the st. James Hotel, in
speaking of the Capital city, said:
This is a beautiful city. 1 wish all of
our people could see Washington. Build
ings like the Congressional Library are
sufficient to inclte a spirit of national pride.
I am sure the taxpayers of the great state
of Texas are more than anxious that there
shall be many such superb buildings here.
Il hardly think 1t is fair to the southern
people to think even intimate that they
are not willing to be taxed for the benefit of
Washington, that they fail to recognize
the beauty of the Capital city. Our fathers
in ante-bellum times were rich, had fine
homes ana appreciated the most excellent in
everything. Then, why should not we, the
people of the richest nation in the world,
have the finest buildings and streets in the
world?"
DR.. Davidson is an extensive breeder of
fine stock in central Texas

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The little patch of wild oats alongside of
Shepherds landing. within the limits of the
District of Columbia, was the cause of trou-
BILE to several hunters from AleNa ndria dur
Ing the past week. The patch of grain is
not in shooting territory, under the District
laws, but this season it has been full of
reedbirds and blackbrds and the hunters
have gone after them. Arrests have been
made by the harbor police patrol and in
each instance the hunters, who were Alex
andria men, stated that they We're not
aware that they were shooting within the
District limits, but thought they We're in
Maryland waters. Shepherds is only about
a mile above the Maryland line, which runs
diagonally from Jones point below Alexan-
dria to FoXs ferry on the Maryland side of
the river, and all hunters found shooting on
the eastern side of the river above this line
are liable to get into trouble. Shooting on
the marshes on the Virginia side is allow
able under the law.
The heavy rains about the headwaters of
the Potomac the past three or four days
caused considerable current in the river
and brought down muddy water and, 1t is
stated, put end to the bass fishing in the
upper river for the present. The steamboa t
men think the muddy current will run itself
out by tonight, but it will be several days
be fore the water settles and the river in the
vicinity of this city becomes clear.

BOOMING ITS CHOICE.
Columbia Heights Association Backs
Site for University.

The Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton has issued a little pamphlet setting
forth the reasons why the members Of that
association think the George Washington
University should select the twenty-three
and one-half acres composing the Sherman
and Barber estates as a site for the insti-
tuition.
Among the reasons given are: Good
sanitation, mean elevation of 159 feet
above mean low tide, assurance both by
deed restriction and by act Of Congress
that intoxicants will not be sold in that
territory, good transportation facilities,
prominent situation. where the buildings
may be seen from afar, and plenty of room
for campus and field sports.
A diagram of the tract is included In the

Money and Kisses.

A man living for the time being in
Columbus and who is in the habit Of
giving his wife a generous roll Of bills
the first day of every month for her pin
money complained the other day that
she owed him $3.50 for acting as her
caddie while on the golf links during u
visit to the sunny south. She demurred,
but asked if he would be willing to
take the pay in kisses. Although a
Benedict Of long standing, he still
adores his wife, and he agreed to this
method of payment.
While they were at breakfast on the
first day Of the following month he
drew out his pocketbook and began
counting out various bills Of large de-
nomination, while she, with hand out
stretched, waited eagerly for the roll,
remarking that he. last months allow
nee was all spent.
"Vait a moment" he said. 81 be-
lieve I'll give you kisses instead" And
the money was stuffed back in his
pocket, much to her dismay.
1t is only fair to say, however, that
later she received both money and
kisses.-Columbus Dispatch.
