Derelicts at WASHINGTON.

No city on earth offers so few open
ings for men who must work for liv-
ing as does Washington, from the fact
that outside of government jobs there
are few places to fill, says Lillian M.
Cheshire. There is nothing in the
line OF manufactures and other open
ings found in other large cities. But
these unfortunates can live here a
long time on nothing a year, and this
from the fact that friends in the de-
partments help them along until they
realize that it is to be perpetual
thing every payday; room rent is
cheap, and three-cent lunch rooms are
spread all over Washington. Friends
from home occasionally visit the city
and touches" of substantial nature
are made, and many of them get re-
mittances from home which they learn
to plank down for actual expenses, re-
lying on chance acquaintance which
they meet in hotel Hobbies to furnish
all the necessary liquid refreshments.

Day of the Lobbyist Gone.

antique yarns about Representatives in

UNIQUE Cannon.

1t is curious fact that when the
island of Malta was in possession of
the Templars those doughty knights
defended their forts by means of can.
mon cut into the solid rock.
Each of these strange engines of
war was capable of containing an en-
tire barrel of gunpowder, and, it is
said, could throw 10000 pounds of pro-
jectiles. Inasmuch, however, as these
natural cannon could not be aimed, so
We're cut out of the rock guarding the
various channels of approach: and the
vessels of that time were therefore
unable to come within their own
range before being annihilated by the
big weapons of defense.
Although the fame of these can.
non was spread far and wide, they
were not duplicated elsewhere. and to
this day they remain the only rock
cannon of which there exists any rec

--one mile and two hundred yards.
writes J. Harry Shannon in the Illus
trated Sunday Magazine.
Consult a map of Washington city
and note large park of irregular
shape beginning at the west end Of
the capitol grounds and extending
westward more than a mile, joining
the south side of the White House
grounds. This is the Mall. The east
end of the tree-grown and flower
decked tract is occupied by the Ma
tional Botanic garden and to the west
are the headquarters of the United
States fish commission, the Army Med
fcal museum, the National museum
and the Smithsonian institution, the
department Of agriculture, the bureau
of engraving and printing and the
Washington monument. Obliquely,
and to the northwest, runs Pennsyl-
vania avenue from the Peace monu-
ment at one entrance to the capitol
grounds, to the treasury building Is
the great avenue are about 25 built-up
blocks, traversed by three avenues
Missouri, Louisiana and Ohio-and
streets, Third to Fifteenth and and
Z inclusive.
1t is an old plan to restore this
truncated triangle, or trapezoid, if you
will, to the public domain that the
Mall may be extended to Pennsylvania
avenue, and that federal buildings. as
the government needs them, or as con-
gress elects, shall be built along the
south side of this great way in set
ting of green gardens.
That the national government needs
buildings in Washington is fact The
building program authorized by con-
gress has never kept pace with the
need for buildings. Two of the ex-
ecutive departments-the department
of commerce and labor and the de-
partment of justice-are housed in
rented quarters and list of govern
ment bureaus, divisions and offices in
rented rooms would be tiresomely
long.
A common policy of congress has
been when the construction of new
public building was determined on, to
select as its site one of the public
parks. or part of public park. These
reservations" like the streets and
avenues in the District of Columbia,
are not owned by the city of Washing
ton, but by the United States. The
policy of setting up public structures
in the city parks brought protest from
the citizens of Washington, who see
that this policy, if persisted in, would
convert the park space in the city into
building sites. The people of Wash
ington on the whole consider beauty
one of the assets of the city, and want
the parks preserved as beauty spots
and recreation centers. They object
that the national government should
treat the parks of the capital as va
cant building lots.

WORTHY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mrs. Taft Can Be Relied on to Grace
Executive Mansion.

The wives of presidents-elect might
be supposed to be all in a flutter of ex.
citement before the pending duties
and social obligations at the White

altered her daily routine. She is a
busy woman. full of energy and occu.
pied in a hundred good works.
A very sensible woman and "uncou
usefulsaboot the hoose," as the Scots
would say Her writing desk is lit
tered with correspondence demanding
her attention. Her working rooms
show signs of being the habitat of a
woman much occupied with things
really worth while. The dainty decor
alive superfluities dear to woman's eye
and heart find no place of honor. The
instinct of collaboration seems also
to be somewhat lacking. Neatly
dressed with utter simplicity Mrs. Taft
Is woman whose tastes lie in other
decorations than frills and furbelews
Tall and of youthful figure, abun
dant energy and almost unfeminine
common sense, Mrs. Taft Is a woman
whose personality makes itself felt
among any group of people.
Her hair, slightly tinged with gray
is coiled up in the simplest manner
Her brow is unlined, her eyes frank
and clear. The nose is long and thin
the mouth thin-lipped and the chin
somewhat receding, nevertheless
shows determination and character.
