SENTIMENT OF THE POTOMAC.

America, where nobody seems to
have time for anything but hustling
after the almighty dollar, is the last
place where one would expect to find
sentiment. Yet a little. ceremony
which has just been performed on
the Potomac river, and which was
inaugurated about seven years ago,
has that pretty touch of sentiment
for which our French cousins are so
renowned. It consisted of sending
out to sea a boat laden with flow
ers-red roses, yellow daisies, red,
pink and white carnations, and
banks of fern; a tribute to the VIC
Tins claimed by the ocean during
the preceding year. The boat was
started on its course in the presence
of great crowds of spectators, who
stood bareheaded as they sang, For
Those in Peril on the Sea-" and as
the little craft with its fragrant car
go was borne by the tide toward
Chesapeake bay the warships and
merchant vessels in the river dipped
their flags in respectful salute

DOUBTFUL DEVOTION.

A certain small boy who lives in
historic town along the Hudson
views the Decoration day doings
there with mingled emotions. When
the professions of school children go
to the cemetery with their wreaths
and garlands he has been known
to weep with chagrin because his
family boasts no grave of "their
own to trim. Last year he re-
served his tears till bedtime, when
he shifted back the threatened flood
to kiss his mother goodnight.
''Never mind, mama," he sobbed on
her shoulder, 'I'll wait as patiently
as l can. I'd ruver put flowers on
yours and daddy's graves, anyway,
than on any one else's !"-Delinea-
tor.

Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay has

stocking, but now comes the infor-
nation that she brought over clothes
more valuable than any that have
come from Europe this year. Every
one will love to know that Mrs.
Mackay is a well-dressed woman,
and as such, has much more right to
be interested in suffrage and other
advanced ideas than if she were a
trump.

Coaches for the Rock Island

An additional safeguard in rail-
way travel has been provided in
the all steel passenger car. At
ter many years of planning and
building cars are now being made
that will reduce to a minimum
the chance of passenger coaches
being telescoped or destroyed by
fire.
The first delivery on an order
for all steel passenger coaches
placed by Rock Island lines has
just been received and many of
the through trains have been
equipped.
The cars have a seati ng capac-
ity of eighty, the seats are hand
somely upholstered in green
plush, having high backs, and
the arm rests are of Mexican

trimmings. Double windows are
provided, and just above, a pane
of prismatic glass. Lavatory
facilities are ample, fittings being
of white porcelain and the walls
enameled in white.
Cars are vestibuled and bril-
liantly lighted by means of thirty
three sixteen candle power in
candescent lamps so arranged as
to throw an even light oyer all.
Garland Ventilators insure a
complete change of air every few
minutes.
No expense has been spared
make the cars as comfor table as
possible.
AS rapidly as the cars are re
ceived by Rock Island lines from
the manufacturers they will be
placed in service.

SITTING ON A MEMBERS HAT.
Humorous incident That Relieves
Tension Of Party Feeling In the
British Parliament.

: The house is always hugely de-
lighted when member sits on his
hat, and the incident, though by no
means infrequent, never seems to
pail, says the London Globe.
As a matter of fact the member
who provides some such relief as this
at time when party feeling runs
high does a considerable though I'M
whiting service. 1t is a matter of
common observation that the ten
sion between parties is always SEN
sibly relaxed when one of these lit
tie incidents has occurred.
The most famous hat incident
took place when the late Mr.. Glad
stone was premier for the third time
and had to intervene on a point Of
order after a division had been
called. The rules require that IN
such circumstances the member ad-
dressing the chair must do so with
his hat on, and Mr. Gladstone could
not find his hat.
In despair he grabbed that of a
colleague, which was at least four
sizes too small for him, and the
spectacle of the minute headgear
rocking about on Mr.. Gladstone's
massive head was one that those who
saw it will never forget.

farming down his way is taking re-

while late that which is up has
every chance to come on we'll.
