TRIP TO CALIFORNIA

The prospective rush Of Fasteners TO
California this fall on account of the
very low rates in effect during Septem-
Der and October, seems to indicate the
growing desire of people to get away
from our raw winter climate, and pur-
chase homes in the land Of sunshine,
fruit and flowers. Such favorable re-
ports are being received from those
who have gone before, that a great rush
Is being made upon the Washington,
Sunset Route, 905 F street northwest,
for illustrated descriptive literature,
and to make reservations in the through
tourist sleeping cars.
A. J. POston, general agent. at that
address, viii furnish particulars TO
those interested.

Making a Home.

For the past two days, Mrs, Early has
been busily engaged In purchasing furn-
ishiugs for the little house which has
been rented for her within a stones
throw of the lonely abode Of her leper
husband. Because OF the uncertainty,
regarding the ultimate disposition Of
her husband Mrs. Early is furnishing IL
but sparingly, restricting her purchases
To things that are absolutely necessary.
She is a thrifty woman, and with but
a little over a hundred dollars advanced
her out of the receipts of The Times
fund, has succeeded in Transforming the
bare farm house, under che shadow OF
the United States jail, into a homelike
place.

The tie that binds one soldier TO an

John Early, the Ieper. and today two
Old soldiers, who fought through the
civil war took the first dollar out of
their pension checks and added il 10
the fund now being raised fer the sup

Charles l. Knapp visited The Times
office this morning, had his pension
check cashed and the first dollar bill
was turned over to the Early fund.
Another veteran. w. l.. Walters, did
the same thing, each demonstrating the
loyalty that exists between the men who
fought for their country. whether in
the war Of many years ago or the
more recent struggle. in which Early
contracted the dread disease. Each vet

that has really set the pace for what

known as the American plan of diplo-
macy.
: tness that purchase of the friars'
lands in the Philippines, for instance.
That might have been made the sub
ject of age long diplomatic negotia-
lions in another's hands. Mr.. Taft
just went to the Vatican on his way
home from the Philippines. told the
situation. made a business.llke ofrer

And all the time that he was at
work there he wasn't too busy to have
a bit of fun. You remember that time
that, convalesc!ns from serious i'll

belt. in reply to an inquiry as to his
health. that he had ridden horse ten
miles that day up the mountains. And
Secretary Of War Root cabled back.
Fine. How's the horse?"
Mr.. Taft didn't reply at once. But
Just before he left for the United
States. the question came up what
should be used as yignette on the
bonds to be issued by the Philippine
government. The Department OF
State cabIed him for advice. And he
cablcd back:
would suggest the head of secra-
tnry of War Root-if it wouldn't raise

That's on the records of the War De-

Taft might be quoted as giving an in

and to-day. He was then solicitor gem

Judge of thee trcuit court. The judge

The BUSY Ants

BY Madge l.. Daniels, Aged IL Years, Ord,
Ncb. Blue.
There was sorrow In the ant home.
Father ant went around looking like a
thunder cloud, mother ant brushed the
tears way from her faded eyes. and the
five little ants were very unhappy because
they did not know why their parents
acted so strangely.
IT'S not money matters" the biggest
brother ant said. for we children have
carried enough bread crumbs and grains
of sand to last us a whole year; we can
not be hungry in the cold weather for we
have accumulated so much food"
At last one morning father ant said,
my children your mother and myself
must have sympathy in our sorrow, and
we nave decided to tell you our trouble.
There is not a lazy one of us, we have
worked day and night the whole year
through. Look at those trifling bees fly
ing about in the clover, they are not
working, they are drones. They just sip
the sweet from the blossoms and are
idle all day long, and yet a great city
editor with a name that reminds you OF
perfume has dared to call his paper THE
Daily Bee and still arother Of this same
paper has called an entire age THE
Busy Bees" We have been downtroddeu
and abused. This is my trouble, children,
and l want you to think of some way to
make those editors change the name OF
their paper to THE Busy Ants"
