Quentin Roosevelt. the youngest son of

w. NJ. Smith of Cheyenne, Wyo.. is in

about the big hawk In the postoffice tower.
says out in his country they have eagles
that can carry off full grown sheep or even
small children.
II well remember" said Mr.. Smith to a
Washington Post reporter, 'how an eagle
in the hill country Of Wyoming attempted
to carry off a child on a ranch adjoining
mine. My friend, with q number OF assist'
ants, was out In the field cutting hay. Al
noon his little daughter came across the
fields to take his dinner to him. When
the child was climbing over a fence about
la yards from where the party was at
work a big eagle swooped down and fast
ened it's talons In the child's clothing. The
men heard the girls screams and rushed
up 70 the fence, where they found the
little girl and the eagle rolling on the
ground.
"The eagles claws had become fastened
and II could neither release itself nor Fly
with the child. The party had consider
able difficulty in killing the bird without
injuring the youngster. Strange TO say.
the little girl was not hurt in any way
there vas not even a scratch on her after

w Washington Life
incidents n Episodss that mark
tbs Progress OF Events at the
nations Capital.

Many pleasing incidents Of a personal
character occurred behind the canvas on
which were thrown the principal pictures
OF the outgoing and incoming administra-
tons. Most impressive and least talked OF
was the farewell of the Washington CORES
pondents to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t was a heart
felt, sincere goodby to ar executive who
had an unfailing fount OF copy" for seven
years.; who MADE things hum in all direc-
lions and kept on the jump those OF the
boys who could hold the pace. TIL pass
ing from the executive stage OF a news
maker OF such astounding qualities caused
sincere regret, and the feeling expressed
with characteristic fervor.
A beautiful diamond necklace was pre-
scented to Mrs. Roosevelt a few hours be-
fore leaving the White House. as a part
ing gift from intimate friends.
Vice President Fairbanks was presented
with a silver service by the senators; a
loving cup by the democratic senators,
and a hearty leave-taking by the press
gang. the orator Of which expressed the
common feeling in a photographic sentence:
w are going 70 take leave of an Impair
tial, fearless and highminded gentleman"
Such incidents lend to public life a rec
ompense beyond price.

Owing to the rush of business or temper
airy forgetfulness, possibly both, Mr.. Roose-
welt abandoned simplified spelling in his
last message to congress. In that message
there were three opportunities to apply the
rules of spelling the president himself
adopted two or three years ago, and which
he tried so hard to inflict upon the coun-
try.
There was the word expressed spelled
out in full. Rooseveltic documents usually
carry it "exprest," Thorough" was not
doctored into the customary "thoro," and
the word Throughout" was spelled Just
that way, and not 'thruout."

Probably the windlest place in North

ton from the r street car line to the en-
trance to the senate wing of the capitol.
On a good b~lustery winters day it Is pos

The old-timers have learned that It does

1t to you. That's one of the established
facts in human experience.
