Names Don't Count.

Surnames count no longer on the
visiting cards of official Washington.
The jobs the whole thing. Any one
must have the real thing in jobs be.
fore he can break into the smart set.
Just where the idea sprang from no
one seems to know It's development
was mushroomlike. In a day, almost;
the fad was on. Uncle Joe Cannon
was one Of its first devotees. His
card would make his constituents rub
their eyes in amazement. 1t reads
simply: ''The Speaker"
Admiral Dewey does not have his
name on his card, either. It reads
simply, in large, flowing script: The
Admiral of the Navy" This means
that there is only one admiral and
only one navy.
It's a little hard on the senator's;
there are so many Of them the plan
will not work. Instead the senator
covers himself with real distinction
by leaving of his official station and
simply printing It 80: mr.. Foraker"

"Dmitri Anatovitch said he thought
that she had been taken to Odessa?"
Norman nodded and said, "You were
kind enough to offer to help me IL I
needed my assistance, but as you are
Russian you perhaps can do nothing
for me in this case"
ut is just possible can," said Aksa-
koff, slowly. will you come here the

has had any dealings with the revo-
lutionary party there is a chance I
may be able to get you some informa-

promise it; but come here, and shall
tell you if have heard of anything"
For two more days Norman kicked
his heels in the ante-room of the con-
sulate. There were no fresh develop
ments, he was assured. Then he went
to see Aksakoff.
"Mr. Forde," said Aksakoff, without
preliminaries, Il have a great surprise
of it at once. Miss Joyce has not
been arrested as revolutionist; she
is kept a prisoner by Dmitri Anato-
witch in his house."
Norman looked at him like a man
in dream

Joyce. and can find the means of de-
livering it to her." continued Aksakoff

Miss Joyce prisoner in his house!
Do you tell me that Anatovitch was
lying to me?"
Undoubtedly he lied to you. All
that has occurred 1 do not know, but
Miss Joyce is shut up in a room in his
house."
"The Internal scoundrel!" cried
Norman, suddenly white with rage
and fury.
will you write to Miss Joyce now?"
said Aksakoff: later l shall tell you
all ] have learned. There is a good
reason why l ask you to do this, for
can send the letter off Immediately"
And he put writing materials before
Norman
"Shall l tell her that her deliver
ance is at hand?" asked Norman, after
writing for some time
Yes: but we will talk about that
presently" said Aksakoff Finish the

This was the letter that the Russian
woman put into Christabers hands.

Still Being Built in Washington.

An illicit still, one the collector OF
internal revenue does not know any.
thing about, is being built within the
traditional stones throw of the b,l.
reau of engraving and printing in
Washington. That is the place where
all the stamps supposed to be put
upon alcoholic liquor packages are
engraved and printed. This distillery
is being built around very high tele'
phone pole. 1t will shortly be one OF
the most perfectly appointed distil'
leries in the country. DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief Of the bureau of chemis.
try of the department of agriculture,
is superintendent of the construction
of it, and when the fires are started
and the properly prepared mash be-
gins bubbling the pure food expert will
begin making high class stuff.
First, he is going to use watermelon
rinds, sweet corncobs, and other
things the like of which are thrown
into the garbage on the farms of the
country. He is going to convert the
sugar in these waste products into al.
cohol, which in turn will be denatured
so as to make it unfit for use as q
beverage. :,
His primary object is to show how
the farmer, by using garbage, can pro.
vide fuel for running the farm engine
one of the internal explosion kind.
Congress passed the denatured alcohol
bill two years ago, but as yet the farm.
ers are not taking much interest in
their privilege. DR.. Wiley intends to
show them few things.

Tot. Made Criminal by Law.


The enforcement of the new child
labor law is credited with RESPONSE.
bility for the Juvenile crime wave now
sweeping over Washington. The records
at the House Of Detention. where the
boy lawbreakers are sent pending
trial, show that juvenile crime in one
week increased more than 100 per
cent over the preceding week, or Is.
as against 36 for the preceding week,
and 30 for the week preceding that. 1t
is asserted that the increase in juve.
nile crime is due to the large number
of boys rendered idle by the operation
of the new law.
It is stated officially that about 500
boys have been denied permits to
work, to which must be added larger
number who have been deferred from
working by their dread of the red tape
connected with the enforcement of the
law and the trouble necessary to Sc.
cure permits.
House of Detention officials say it
may be that matters will adjust them.
