Ends stnr erIdIron career.

John Hubbard, captain and half
back of the Amherst university foot
ball team has played his last game of
intercollegiatc football and closed
career second in glory to none in
the east. Less than II years old
when he played his first intercol-
legiate game, Hubbard has become
known as one of the greatest backs
the game has ever had, and the best
plaver in the history of the game at
Amherst. In game after game he
has played through the opposing line
as if il were paper, and his playing
has always been chief feature.
Last year when Amherst found her
self without a punter of tirstclass
ability. the coaches as a last resort
turned to Hubbard, and to their sur
prise found they had in him the best
puuter i'm the east Hubbard has
never missed a game since he entered

out for him because of injuries, and
the only instance when time was
taken out for him was two years ago
when one Of his shoes became un

penaUzed. Hubbard was captain o

Writes in Diplomatic language.

Though Elihu Root, secretary OF
state, is a great lawyer and a sue
cessful diplomat, the verbiage Of the
diplomatic papers that bear his name
is not his, AS a lawyer of large
practice he acquired the habit of
directness and incisiveness, which is
lily suited TO the ways and customs
of diplomacy. Realizing this folly, 1t
was not long after Mr.. Root as
sumed the duties of secretary Of state
that he discovered that the safest
course for him to pursue would be
to have one of his assistants clothe in
the formal and stilted language OF
diplomacy every communication of
importance he had to make to a
foreign power. Accordingly he has

HIah Salaries in Vaudeville.

High salaries for vaudeville per.
formers do not prevail alone in the
United States, although here the
average is thought to be higher than
anywhere else. Mrs. Langtry is
credited with receiving $4,000 per
week from American managers and
Lillian Russell is quoted at S2,5OO
But there are performers abroad
whose names are unknown on this
side OF tho water who receive far
greater than a presidential salary.
Harry Lander, the Scotch comedian,
declined all American offers on the
ground that he can earn $1,000 per
week at home and he is booked ahead
until 1912. There are a dozen other
English vaudeville artists who play
almost continuously in London and
are so well repaid for their efforts
that nolh.ns con tempt them to leave
home.

NEED OF NEW BUILDINGS.
Many Government Departments I'M
properly Housed.

Senator Hepburn has introduced a
bill for the purchase Of a considerable
tract of land i'm the city of Washing
ton. 10 be used for public purposes
The plan is old and similar bills have
been submitted from time to time
From two important points Of view
such a proposal should command IA
vorable consideration.
The country is rich enough to make
its national capital a gem among the
cities Of the world. and the people OF
the country should take pride in maxi
ing Il such. That is the aesthetic side
of the question. The other side is
prosaic and strictly economical. The
need of new buildings becomes more
evident from year to year. The de
partment of state is now crowded in
with the navy department and the war
department, to the great inconveni'
ence of all three. The department OF
Justice and the department OF l1"ot
and commerce now carry on their
work in rented buildings widely scat
tered, inconvenient and unsuitable
Some day each of these must have its
own proper building II is estimated
that the sums now paid for rentals
amount to more than liberal Interest
on the cost of suitable structures
The Hepburn bin provides for tho
purchase of land with a view to the
ultimate erection of these buildings.
It is estimated that S10000,0OO Will
secure for the government, through
purchase and condemnation, about
5000 acres Of land adjoining the mail
that extends westward from the cap
ital to and beyond the monument II
would include all the area lying be
tween the mall and Pennsylvania ave
uue. It is altogether the proper place
for our department buildings. The
value of the land increases rapidly.
A few years from now will probably
find it worth S15,OO00OO This is tho
prosaic side of the question, strictly
a matter Of national economy.
We have the dollars and we need
the buildings. We should have ths
pride to make our national capital a
city beautiful, and we should have the
wisdom to house or departments in a
way that Will enable them to carry on
their work with every possible ad'
vantage of location, space and sur
roundings.-New York Sun.

ington, an interesting fact has devel-
oped in connection with the brick ma.
sonry work. The first brick was laid
at the site on the afternoon of July 5,
1905, and on July 3, 1906, there had
been laid in the walls 10000 brick.
This is believed to be the greatest
number of brick laid on any building
in one year in the United States, and
probably in the world. One of the
causes conducting to this record break

winter of 1905-06. In those winter

A New York physician who has for

~ to a prominent manager and asked
for some theater tickets. His re-
quest was refused, the manager ask
ing what the doctor had ever done
that he should be entitled to receive
theater tickets gratis.
The physician Immediately replied.
His letter contained a brief recital Of
his services to theatrical people. In
conclusion he said:

above, / should not have thought of
asking YOU for tickets had it not been

WHY THE HOUSE WAS OPEN.
Country Visitor in Washington Took
Precautions Against Robbers.


A resident of Capitol Hill tells
story of how he returned home one
night during the past summer and
was astonished to find his front door
vile open. He had a country cousin
visiting him at the time, the members
of his family being away from the
city. Knowing he would be out late
on a professional call, the Capitol Hill
man told his country cousin not to re-
main up until he returned, but to go
to bed.
1T was two o'clock in the morning
when I returned" said the Capitol Hill
man, "and when | saw the front door
open, the gas burning brightly and no
sign of anybody about, | was some
what surprised. Even the back door
and windows were open, and the only
sign of life about the home was the
cat.
81 was about to summon a police
man to make an investigation" he
continued, when 1t occurred to me
that my country cousin might be
asleep on the sofa There found him
enjoying as good a sleep as he had
ever enjoyed in his life. It was a
shame to wake him, but | shook him
several times before he finally turned
over, rubbed his eyes and asked If it
was time to get up.
81 asked rather Indignantly what
the open house meant, and he said:

bers came IN the house | would have
as many ways of getting out as they
would of getting in"
