MISS DEAN AND "BILLIKEE."
By Faith in the God of Happiness,
She Enjoys Auto Rides.


Julia Dean has Joined the ranks Of the
motor car enthusiasts. Likewise she has
developed faith that is delightful 10
contemplate. It's not exactly the faith
the parson champions that needed deveI-
oping with her. for she was brought up
in the straight and narrow path, but one
that IS rather IN conflict with the old pre-
cept. Put not your faith in craven
images" for she confesses to having IN
falterIng faith IN her "BiIIiken." and to
having developed that faith IN the course
OF the past week until an earthquake
could not shake It. Miss Dean never be-
lieved IN the little image that has become
so important under the name Of 'Billi-
KEN" and. in fact, was until recently an
absolute scoffer. but It's all changed now.
for Miss Deans eyes have been opened
and she knows him FOR what he Is.
Ever since coming to Washington Miss
Dean has been attracted by the beautiful
drives in and around the city and such OF
her time as she was able to steal away
from the Columbia Theater she has spent
in exploring the most attractive spots IN
and around Washington. She had often
thought It would be nice to have an au-
tomobile for these jaunts. but never
dreamed OF getting one until about a
week ago when one OF her admirers sent
her a Buliken with its pinched up fea-
lures. horrid grin. and uncomfortable
pose. but with grin and begin TO win
confronting her on every side She did
not believe In such things. Of course. but
Just 70 try her luck she rubbed the back
Of the little statue. and said. I do wish
I had an automobile"
1t is perhaps absurd to connect the two
incidents, but the very next morning as
she sat down at the breakfast table at
her hotel a Congressman's wife. who had
developed quite q fancy for the Column
bias leading lady, informed her that she
was going out OF the city for a few
weeks, and as her car would be idle
otherwise, II Miss Dean cared 10 avail
herself Of IT, It was at her disposal at
any time. Miss Dean rubbed her eyes 70
see n she was dreaming, accepted with
thanks. and now If any one IS prepared to
set up a good stiff argument rejecting
upon the efficacy OF 'Biniken" as a
talisman, he Will ind more than his
match in Julia Dean

Miscellaneous.

A seventy-eight-nile gale which blew
over the Gulf Of Mexico last Sunday and
Monday. had kicked up a terrific onrush
OF water along the coast by Wednesday,
so that the city Of Galveston would have
certainly been destroyed but for the great
wall erected after the former disaster in
1900. As it was. the waves dashed against
the wall and did little damage, although
the lower streets we're flooded. An out
lying pier and bath houses were completely
destroyed. and at least sixteen persons
were known to have lost their lives

A PLEA.

At the seasons hats I shall not rail-,
Nor call them srotesque nor stnrge;
NY optimism shall still prevail.
Next season the styles may change.
I do not mind fifteen yards Of lace
Twelve feathers and one big wreath;
But Oh I dread 70 see the face
That perhaps may be hid beneathI
I've seen brave hats Of noble size,
That rested on shoulders square;
And hoped the wearer bad roguish eyes,
And curly golden hair.
And when I looked-vell never mind thatl
But this boon I would fain beseech:
Pray Fashion. ordain that the peach-basket hat
Shall only be worn hy peach

ROOSEVELT GETS THE LION
Three in One Day and One for Ker
NIT.

NIT.
Nairobi. British East Africa, May
3.-Four lions are trophies of EXPIRES
ident Rooseyelt's camp in the Alau
Hills and the two hundred or more
native followers are joining with the
American party in the celebration OF
the unusually good luck.
The lions were bagged Saturday and
Colonel Roosevelts mighty gun
brought three Of them to earth, each
on the first shot Thus one OF the
former Presidents fondest ambitions
has been realized, and he is proud. too
that the fourth OF the jungle kings
fell before the rife of his son Kermit.
who however, took three shots to kill
his quarry.
Both father and son are jubilant 1t
was their first lion hunt, and so mag
nificent a kill was far beyond their
expectations, but lions have been
plentiful in the hills for the past
month, and the English hunter, F. c.
Selous, has been out for several days,
laying plans for their extinction.
Mr. Selous accompanied the former
president, who also was attended by
the usual retinue of heaters. As 4
rule the beaters go into the jungle
with considerable trepidation but as
Colonel Rooseyelt's reputation as
hunter had reached here long before
he arrived in person. the heaters on
this occasion were exceptionally en-
thusiastic. They seemed even eager
to play part in the first hunt Of the
distinguished American.
The caravan started early Thursday
morning from the ranch of Sir Alfred
Pease on the Athi river, and proceed
ed slowly TO the Mau hills. This
range is open for wide areas, but in
places is covered with dense growths.
where game Is plentiful The first
night In camp was without especial
incident, no attempt being made to go
after lions, although their call was
heard now and then during the course
of the night. but at dawn the camp
was astir and the drive speedily or
ganized.
The native heaters set out in all
directions under the instruction of
the "headman," armed with all sorts

not but arouse any game within ear
shot Some of the beats proved
blank, but by nightfall no less than
ten kinds of game had been bagged.
Kermit during the greater part of the
day did more effective work with his
camera than he did with the gun, he
and the other members of the party
allowing Mr. Roosevelt the much-priz-
ed shots.
Details of the actual shooting were
not brought down to Nairobi from the
camp, but it was declared that in each
case single bullet from the expires
ident's rifle sufficed to bring down his
lion.
All of the lions were of normal size
and, after the natives had dragged
them together in the grass, they exc
cuted the usual dance around the tro-
plies.
The party plans to go south with
the hope of bagging one or more Cir
affes. The chances are Mr.. Roose-
velts good luck will continue for ma
tives and settlers from all sections
report game as very plentiful.

LAST DAY OF LICENSE
All Rutland Laid in Stock for the
Drouth

Drouth
Everything was quiet along the ri
alto. The closing night was a sue
cess. Refreshments we're served but
in only n few instances were the
bounds Of propriety overstepped and
Nk~t few jags there were on tne last
night of license. the police were able
TO send them off the street to their
homes. This undo ubtedly came as a
result of the fact that a great major
IT. cs the zen wcra drinking beer in
stead of lard STUFF. A jag obtained
on the former is a great deal easier
to handle The first class saloons
were full to overlooking until the last
minute of the license year, 10 o'clock
says the Rutland Herald of Saturday
In the afternoon the second class
saloons were the more popular. Many
were the funny instances witnessed
ON the streets, among those carrying
bundles, and only a few were seen
without them.
AT the railroad station there was
a stream of people all day bearing
packages and jugs of liquor. One
man came into the station yesterday
afternoon with a package containing
two quarts and a pint of whiskey UNI
der one arm and another quart under
the oiner arm He left the single
quart with his grip on settee while
he went out on the platform to speak
TO friend. The load which was in
side oyerbalanced to the outside por-
ton and he dropped the package
There was crash of glass and the
man did not stop TO see how the CON
tents of the package had Jared but
hustled into the station to look after
his other quart He found his grip
all right bur during his absence some
one had "pinched" the quart so he
either bought more or went home
empty handed. AS it happened the
pint bottle was the only one in the
package which broke and some by
ISLANDERS hustled the other two quarts
out of sight Another man checked
a dress suit case with a warning TO
handle 1t carefully as it contained l6
quarts of booze"
One man went into a second class
place esterday afternoon and ordered
Si2 worth OF booze and paid cash
down.
Shortly after he went into cigar
store on the same street and asked to
be hung up for a % cent pipe, but
he proprietor couldn't see it that
way
Nearly half of the town of Proctor
was in Rutland last evening and when
the 6.l5 O'Clock train arrived the route
between the station and the second
class stores on Center street was
filled with a mass Of men all bent on
providing for rainy day All of the
second class licensees had secured
extra help for yesterday and even
then they were not able to handle the
trade.
Only three men were in the lookup
last night All Of these were arrested
before 6 O'Clock. Two of them were
found in bed by Chief of Police r. c.
Elworth, who arrested them upon re-
quest OF the wife of one OF the men.

From October until April. 1910. a
campaign Of education on a national
scale will be conducted by the Lay
mems Missionary movement. The plan
has the Endorsement of the organized

pected that out from these fifty main
centers Populations of speakers will

TESTING THE EAcHER.
= Curious Old School Report Made Ia.
Boston n 1872.


In the town records Of the city Of
Boston there is a curious passage
which records how oolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner in which the visit OF inspec ton
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
Il he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d OF May,
1922, it is set forth that:
Coll Pen Townsend, Jeremiah AL
len Esqr. & John Edwards together
with the. Select. men. Vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
OF Boston on Thursday the 24th apll
1922. and Examined the Scholars un-
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Soy
phering & the masters ability of teach
ing & Instructing youth his rules s.
methods therefore And are of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr. anger in that Employ
Whereupon it. was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the Said South
school. .
1t is true that nothing is said Of the
methods OF spelling inculcated at the
..wrighting School" and it is also pos
sible that clerk rather than the COM
mittee was responsible for the errors
of the record, but there is certainly
something absurd in She passage as it
stands. Exchange
