 The girl raised her head and laughed historically. Yes; now he will come home.' she said wildly. "and nobody will have anything to do with him. He won't be able to get work again. and we shall have to move away"
 Phil twisted his hat nervously, bul his voice was clear and firm when he spoke. He will always be the same to me, Mandy, and Tiff he'll work on the old farm with me, he'll never lack employment.

Tariff revision, the biggest piece of
work in the routine of government is
having its foundations laid this sum-
mer and the builders are going about
their work in a most careful manner.
A number of meetings will be held
in this city during July for the purpose
of obtaining expressions of opinion
from business and commercial men as
to what branches of the tariff need
first attention.
To make the plan more certain, rep
resentatives are sending out notices to
p, their constituents so that, if special
representation is necessary, they can
have their experts in Washington
when the meetings are held.

Washington, June 30.-While all
eyes and all thoughts are turned to-
ward conventions and the presidential
campaign, there is one man in Wash.
ington who is busy with other mat
tiers of importance. He is Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the capitol
building and grounds. He is the bus.
lest man in Washington during the
summer
Mr.. Woods has, on conservative es.
innate thirteen jobs, and he holds four
offices. When he is about to begin
his days work, he figures out the
time he must allot to each of many
duties.
Lets see," he Eliminates, where
will we start this morning?"
Then he counts over his ten fingers
assigning some bit of work to each
one and starts over again.
Mr.. Wood is in charge of the com
pletion of the House office building
and the Senate office building, and
he belongs to all the commissions OF
the last session of Congress appointed
to look after the construction of mon
uments and memorials.
One of his commission duties EN-
braces drawing up plans for the Lin
coin memorial. He must also look
after plans for the new buildings OF
justice, State, commerce and labor
and finishing the pediment of the west
wing of the capitol
| An underground railway is to be in
stalled to operate between the capitol
and the lawmakers new offices. Woods
must look after this. He has the de
Gliding vote in what sort of a con
trivance shall be installed so that
members of the House, seated in their
offices, can take a receiver off the
hook and hear what is going on in
the House.
The grass on the capitol grounds
must be kept well trimmed. Woods
employees must look after this, and
somebody must look after the EN-
ployes. All improvements in the cap
itol building also come under this busy
mans jurisdiction.
| Woods has plenty of energy. After
drinking a cup of coffee-he never eats
any breakfast-he jumps into his auto
mobile, makes dash for the capitol
building, and stops at one of his of
fees. Here he listens to all com
plants and all requests, and then
rushes to his den in the White House
From there he goes to his office in the
Senate office building, then to the
House office building, and finally to
the main office in the capitol building

The rest of the day is put in trying
to work and keep appointments at the
same time, as well as to attend meet
ings to discuss different branches of
work being done under the supervision
of his eagle eye. His automobile is a
great time saver, for it enables him to
rush to all parts of the city If he
drove a horse instead, he would kill
the animal in short time
Woods is not satisfied with the
amount of work he has to do. AS a
relief, he rugged up wireless tele-
graph apparatus on top of the hill and
he generally spends little time there
every day. He sends iocose messages
to battleships far out at sea and
catches messages intended for other
instruments than the one he is work
ing. After firing of this, the under
