ABSENT MINDED.
A Question the College Professor Could
Not Decide Himself.

A Question the College Professor Could
Not Decide Himself.
There is highly esteemed professor
in one of the big colleges who is even
more absentminded than most genius
es. His son is a student in the same
college. At the beginning of a lecture
to his class one morning a look of
perplexfty overspread the professors
face, and his hearers noted that his
thoughts seemed to be wandering from
the subject he was discussing. At
length he paused for a moment and
quietly requested that his son be sum.
moned without delay. The young stu
dent, startled by such an unusual mes
sage from his father, fastened to him,
expecting to find him dead or dying.
The professor had not finished his lee
ture by the time his son arrived and
was explaining things in his usual
clear and convincing manner. At last
the son succeeded in attracting his IA
theirs attention, and this extraordi-
nary dialogue took place:
John, / am surprised" growled the
distinguished educator. "What do you
mean by interrupting me in this way?"
why, father, don't you remember?
You sent for me to come at once"
ooh, yes, to be sure. Now | recol-
lect. 1t was my fear of annoying your
mother You know how it distresses
her, dear soul, if | fail to appear at
my meals. I got thinking about this
when 1 started lecturing this morning,
and I sent for you to set my doubts at
rest. John, please tell me have 1 had
my breakfast yet this morning ?"-New

COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.
Even Lovers Lane Has It's Pitfalls
and Danger Spots.

While it is we'll known about the Dis
trict building that the course Of true love
does not run smoothly, w. N. Barnard.
superintendent OF the Maryland division
of the Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash
ington railroad. has taken special pains
to notify District officials that there are
unsafe places in Lovers lane.
The District officials, to whom the mat
ter was referred. have admitted that
something ought to be done to protect
those who travel the lane. but say the
District is concerned those who stroll
down the lane must take the risks of their
journey.
Lovers lane is not a public road, they
say. and so cannot be repaired with
public funds.
Mr. Barnard in his letter says:
Eve beg to call your attention to the
condition of floor OF small highway bridge
located on the westerly side Of our tracks
over a stream on the public road known
as Lovers lane, opposite a point ]. 40 feet
north of mile post No. 133 on our Ma
gruder branch. Will you kindly take the
necessary action to have this bridge put
In proper condition
After an extended examination District
officials decided that Lovers lane is not
a public highway. So Supt. Barnard will
be informed that the District cannot
expend any funds upon the repair or
maintenance OF the bridge.
That Lovers lane is semi-puSiic
thoroughfare, however. Is conceded by w.
j. Douglas, engineer Of bridges. and he
has recommended that 1t should be either
barricaded at once DOR placed in a safe
condition.

a libel against $50 pals of sugar, said TO

5O5 18th street, alleging that by color
and appearance the sugar purported to
be maple or Vermont sugar, while in
fact 1t is not only fifty being of that car
acter.
The libel recites that it is unlawful TO
sell such goods unbranded, as is alleged
to be the intent in this case. and that the
deception in regard to the sugar is prac-
ticed by such neglect to brand.
A warrant for the confiscation of the
sugar, returnable February ID. was sign
ed by Justice Anderson. who also author
lied the taking of a sample from the
pals for analy sis.
Mr.. Sheetz said yesterday to a Star re-
porter that the government investigation

ed at his suggestion, as he bought the
$50 pals at "quick sale" and wanted
to find out whether or not he was secur-
ing real Vermont sugar.

FIRST LOAD OF TIES.

Alexandria to New York.
The three-masted schooner Susie David
son, which discharged a cargo of paving
stone from Boston at Georgetown has
been taken to Alexandria and berthed at
the marine railway pier to load a cargo
of chestnut railway ties for New York.
The schooner will load about 10000 ties
which are being brought to Alexandria
from interior points in Virginia by the
carload and are unloaded on the pier
alongside the vessel, ready to be put over
the rail- The Davidson is the first sail
ing vessel to take a cargo of ties from
Alexandria since the fall Of 1907.
Ties in large quantities will be shipped
from Alexandria and points on the Poto-
mac during the coming spring and sum-
mer. 1t is probable that the cargo now
being loaded on the Davidson will be the
last sent away from Alexandria until aft
er all danger of freeze is over.
Fears are felt that the Davidson will be
caught by ice before she completes her
cargo and can get away.
