THE PRINCE AND THE GENIE.

We'll, Who are you?" demanded the
prince, when he had recovered some
what from his establishment.

in tones that rumbled long after he
had spoken.
II am minded to be your friend. Do
you want the Princess Corisande for

So saying, the genie vanished as
mysteriously as he had appeared, leav-

had spoken.

happening the prince saw approaching

lnaiuidual Hoo Houses.

The folly of keeping a large nem-
Der of hogs in small Enclosure Is
shown by the unusual fatality this
season. The old notion that hogs
could take most any sort of treatment
has been responsible for heavy losses
this season. Hogs are subject TO
colds and lung troubles. Whenever
we permit them to crowd into tigh'
sheds in large numbers, we are inVit-
ing such calamity. The sensible way

sows, is to build small houses ana
scatter them about the fields. WIN
narrowing sows, each one should be
nrovided with an individual house, but
with the other hogs six or eight can
hunk in one of these houses very
nicely. Build half-dozen or more

Plan to Fit Up Upper
Stories for Office
Purposes.

At the time Of the construction of the
building at the northwest corner of
Seventh and G streets northwest, which
belongs to the era when the Mansard
roof was favored by architects as a fit-
ting climax TO a handsome structure, II
was hardly believed that eventually it
would become the home Of a banking
house.
Otherwise a very different form Of con-
struction might have been adopted. For
a number of years 1t has been known
as Majors Drug Store corner, and has
been a pivotal point Tor the entire neigh
borhood contiguous.
In Il short time the building will be
converted into a modern banking house
FOR the use OF that young and lusty cor
poration. the Merchants and Mechanics
Savings Bank. and will continue as a
pivotal point for the business men Of
the locality.
The prosperity Of this institution.
which began business three years ago
at 7G7 @ street, required enlarged quar-
tiers, and the corner was purchased. As
soon as possession could be secured
operations were begun TO remodel il,
according to plans furnished by ArchI-
tect b. Stanley Simmons, and IN a short
time 1t is hoped to open the bank in a
new home. which in every respect will
be modern In equipment besides being
most attractive in interior furnishings.
The bank will occupy the ground floor.
while the upper stories will be fitted up
for office purposes.
Seventh street Will have then become
the center for banking houses, five of
them being located on II north of Penn
sylvania avenue
The cost Of the alterations is placed
at $4,000, which. added 20 the price paid
for the building, will represent an in
vestment near to $4,000. and VIII add
one more to the handsome banking
houses that have during the past few
years 50 forcibly shown the extraOrdl-
nary prosperity Of the community.

Program
Arranged for
WaShingtonianS

JAMESTOWN. Va, June 1S.-Austria
and Brazil are making a stupendous
naval spectacle. From the exposition
grounds can be seen the magnificent
array of war monsters forming a line
more than four miles in extent. All OF
these vessels will remain at anchor over
District Day, thus affording those who
come to the exposition for that occasion
an opportunity of seeing the greatest
naval pageant ever Witnessed at a
worlds fair.
The program, as already announced,
has been officially recognized by the
officials of the exposition. In addition
to this. arrangements have been made
through H. A. Lunsford, of the depart
ment of publicity, for a flying trip for
the official party through the most at
tractive shows on the war path after
the exercises in the auditorium in the
afternoon.
Sidney Lloyd Wrightson, honorary di-
rector of music at the exposition, came
down from Washington today and COM
pleted arrangements for the music that
IS scheduled in connection with the pro-
gram for the days exercises. He an
nounced this afternoon that Phinney's
Band. the official musical organization,
had been instructed TO give a most
pleasing program interspersed among
the addresses in the auditorium in the
afternoon. In addition to this there will
be at least one organ number on the
$4,000 pipe organ in the auditorium by
the official organist Of the exposition,
William Wall Whidditt
For those who remain until evening a
special concert has also been arranged
that includes many artists of note. The
public is beginning to appreciate the ex-
tent and attractiveness of the James,
town Exposition. Yesterday there were
over 10000 paid admissions. and today
II is estimated there were 10000.

RAISE WAGES,
STOP THEFTS.
ADVISES TREAT

Il think that one of the ways by
which thefts from the United States
Treasury might be prevented is the rails
ing Of the salaries Of those who must
handle the money, so that they need
feel no actual want or need it,"
This was the remedy suggested by
Charles H. Treat. Treasurer of the
United States. in his address before the
University Club last night, for the
thefts. notably the recent defalcation
in Chicago, which from time 70 time
are made from the United States treas
ure vaults.
.'All men," he said, ARE only human
and when we think Of the tremendous
amount of money passing daily through
the hands of Government employees It Is
really remarkable that more attempts
at robbery are not made than really
occur
I think that the man who holds a
position which entails the care Of large
sums Of money, should be so provided
Tor that he need not fear the butcher.
the baker or the landlord.
"A small salary with its accumulated
cares and worries leads necessarily to
a certain moral uncertainty, especially
when such large sums NJ money are
continually laying around in plain view.
This moral uncertainty may lead 10 the
committing Of an immoral act"
In speaking Of the recent robbery
from the Treasury in Chicago, Mr.. Treat
said that there was a strong element in
favor Of the Government in the unusual
iy large size OF the bills. He explained
that 1t would be most difficult for any
person 70 pass a $1,000 bill without
having 70 give some explanation for Il.
He also remarked upon the folly Of
leaving such large amount of money
