SOMETHING NEW TO HIM.
Visitor to Washington Had Queer
Idea OF Monument.

A New Yorker just back from Wash
ington is wondering what kind of odd
specimens of humanity blow into the
capital of this free and enlightened
nation, says the New York Press. He
says he had taken Pennsylvania
avenue car going uptown from the
b. & o. station, and he sat next to a
mild.loolting old gentleman who seem.
ed to be absorbed In the contempla-
ton of great national question or
was wrestling with some secret sor.
row, the New Yorker did not know
which In any event, the old man
sat with bowed head, taking no no.
tice of his surroundings until the car
turned the corner at Fifteenth street,
when the shake-up incidental to q
curve brought him out of his reverie
and he looked up suddenly to sea-
the monument towering over the ad
jacent vicinity.
Pardon me-" he said cautiously tc
the New Yorker, may | ask what
thai lofty s,.ucture over yonder is?'
That's t..y monument" responded
the New Yorker, who spoke of 1t as
Neutrality-suspicious. do, and was surprised
to find man who didn't know what
THE monument was, even though he
might be a stranger within the gates.
What monument" inquired the
old gentleman, not satisfied with
enough for most people.
THE monument to Washington, of
course"
The old gentleman gazed at 1t alb
stractedly until the treasury building
hid 1t from view.
That's the first time l ever heard
of town erecting a monument to IT.

in particular, and once more relapsed
into his former conditions of inward
contemplation.

Rouah on the Pilgrim Fathers.

Representative John Sharp vii.
liams, the minority leader of the
house of representatives, tells a good
story which illustrates his views as to
the cause of friction that occasionally
occurs between the north and the
south. He was discussing the race
question with Representative Alexan-
der a short time ago. Mr.. Alexander
Is from Buffalo and was born in
Maine, so that he represents the Ideas
of the north quite as thoroughly as
Mr.. Williams does those of the south
"Ill tell you how 1t is, Alexander"
said the minority leader, who, by the
way, is one of the most popular men
on either side of the house. "In the
year 1920 a band of pilgrims landed
on a rock up there on the coast of
Massachusetts and the ideas they
brought here have been passed down
through their descendants from gen.
Grafton to generation until the pres.
ent time. The ideas of those pilgrims
tend to make trouble, and a lot of the
friction that has occurred between
the north and the south can be traced
directly to them. Nov II instead OF
the pilgrims landing on that rock the
rock had landed on the pilgrims every.
thing would have been lovely and we
would have been saved any amount of
trouble"

WORN AWAY BY HANDLING.
Effect OF Touch OF Thousands OF
Hands on a Cmlthsonlan Exhibit.

The touch Of thousands Of human
hands for more than score of years
every week day in the year has worn
away a portion of one of the exhibits
of wood at the Smithsonian institu-
ton at Washington The exhibit in
question is a carreta or OK wagon, and
stands in the east wing of the institu'
ton. The part of the axle that has
been worn away simply by the admir-.
ing touch of thousands of visitors pro.
trudes several feet and is easily
reached. The wonderful smoothness
of the wood which has slowly but
surely worn away is the result.
The old OK wagon Is made entirely
of cottonwood, and is without a sin.
gle piece of metal 1t was built by
Pueblo Indians and is the style used
in New Mexico and Arizona. The de-
sign is that introduced in this coun.
try by the Spaniards many years ago
II is clumsy affair, with two wheels
that are far from being round For
many generations, however, this sort
of cart has answered the purpose of
transportation for the Pueblo Indians
as well rs other tribes.
The axle that has been worn away
is directly under the sign giving an
account Of the origin and history of
the OK wagon. While reading, nearly
every slghtseer rests his hand upon
the wood, perhaps does a little knock
ing for good luck, and perchance picks
a splinter. Anyway, the axle end has
been worn away, and to-day Is as
smooth and as shiny as a billiard ball
