eral other colleagues in that body.
One of the most ludicrous incidents of
n a trip has just come to light.
When the congressional party
cached San Juan, Porto Rico, it met
among other natives of the island a
deep student of American politics.
When he was introduced to Mr.. Mann
he grasped him cordially by the hand,
and said:
What! Is this Jim Mann of Chi
cago? l am very glad, indeed, to meet
you. and ] wish to say that have
read with interest everything O have
said In the house of representatives
during the last two years"
AS his speech was made in a some
what loud tone Of voice. it reached
the ears of several others in the party.
and Mr.. Sherman was seen advancing
toward the native with o~utstretched
hands.
MY name is Jim Sherman of Utica,
N. Y.." he said, "and l want to meet
you myself. II you have read every
thing Jim Mann has said In the house
OF representatives in the last two
years | am willing to bet a panama
hat that you have been the busiest
man u this whose islanEd."

Toll at Capital Even if Taft Is Away

White House in this time of the pres
ident's absence. Mr.. Taft's private
secretary, Frederick w. Carpenter, is
not taking a vacation. He is hard at
work, and with his chief at a distance
he has to decide certain problems
which would not come before him for
solution were the president at his
desk. The entire clerical force at the
White House is busy, and the only
places where the hum of industry is
unheard are in the cabinet room and
in the presidents private Office.
There are those who do not regard
the absence of the members of the Of
fetal family as a wholly urmixed evil.
The first assistant secretaries of the
different departments act as chiefs in
the absence of their superiors in Of
flee. and it is something even to q
man to whom vanity Is a thing apart
to be able to write himself down in
truth as acting secretary of the treas.
ury, or of wal or of the navy.
This year in the capital it certainly
is a case of when the cats away the
mice will work. There is more &C.
tivity manifest among the clerks Of
the different departments than ever
before.

From the sentiment generally ex-
pressed by members of the club in
New York, am profoundly encour-
aged and hopeful. Each man appeared
to be impressed with the energy and
sincerity of Baltimore and to appreci-
ate that we are thoroughly in earnest
in u demand for the meet. OF
course, hone was prepared actually to
commit himself in favor of any partic-
ular city, especially members of the
executive committee, and l can read
lily understand their reluctance to
take a positive position at this point,
but all gave us the utmost encourage
ment, and eevn intimated that they
would work for Baltimore and Wash
ington."
Similar reports we're made by 9th
ers of the party, and the feeling pre-
vailed that a vast amount of good had
been accomplished by the visit to
Gotham.
Still further evidence of the rapid
growth of interest in Baltimore in avi-
alton has also been demonstrated in
the arrangement of long-distance bal
loon trips from Baltimore, n Mr..
Hillery Beachey is preparing flights
tor enthusiasts in this section. Mr..
Beachey's first trip of the kind, made
several days ago, was an unqualified
success, and balloon flights are ex-
pected to become almost as popular
as trolley rides or automobile jaunts.
1t is understood that a resolution
will be introduced in the council ask
ing for an appropriation to help swell
the fund to advertise Baltimore, and
while the city has no power to so ap-
propriate money. if the council pass
favorably Upon the measure an en-
aiding act will be introduced in the
legislature giving the city the power.

More Trees to Beauty the Capital

center of the sidewalk in front of the
White House, and rows of elms, ash
and sycamores line the opposite side
OF Pennsylvania e n between Fiji
teenth and Seventeenth streets. Red
oaks were selected to complete the
planting Of the boulevard usually
chosen as the court of honor" be-
cause they we're believed to be best
adapted for the purpose on account of
size. foliage and beauty. Many years
ago fine trees occupied the avenue
front on both the state, wal and navy
building and the treasury building,
but were removed as distractions to
the vista.
There was so much popular ohjec-
ton to the removal of the trees in
front OF the state. war and navy build
ing that the authorities were obliged
to resort to strategy in the matter.
BY the employment of a large force of
laborers the trees were all removed
one dark night between midnight and
daybreak. Those trees formed a con-
tinuation of the row of sycamores still
standing In front of the White House.

North Carolina Farmer Tells OF Bat
tie Between k~ingsnake and Rat
tier-Former Is Victor.

Wadesboro, N. C.-While in Wades-
boro a few days ago J. Frank Ran
dali of Ansonville township gave a
graphic description of a fight he saw
a day before between a kingsnake
and a big RATHER. The rattlesnake was
considerably larger than the king
snake, and to look at them one would
not think it possible for the smaller
reptile to swallow the larger one. but
this. Mr.. Randall states. is just what
occurred.
The fight, which took place in the
road near Mr.. Randall's home. was
witnessed by all the members OF his
family as we'll as himself. After the
battle had been in progress some time
the kingsnake managed to tie himself
around the body of the rattler about
ten inches from the latter's head.
The r~attler, after this feat had been
accomplished, made several attempts
to strike his antagonist, but without
success. The kingsnake slowly
worked it's way up the body of the rat
tier until suddenly 1T opened wide Its
mouth and swallowed the head OF the
RATHER. Just as the swallowing feat
was accomplished the %kingsnake
squeezed its prey until, Mr.. Randall
said, its bones could be heard to
crack for some distance. The king
snake then united itself from the rat

tatives at the Curtiss luncheon, that
DR.. Zahm, secretary of the Aero club,
and a member of the special commit
tee on securing the meet for Washing

folk in the matter. J.. A. Hall, the sec
rotary of the Norfolk board of trade,

matter was placed before them the
Norfolk business men were prepared

Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News

In seeing the meet come to Washing
ton, owing to the prospect of a water
flight to Norfolk. There is a great
deal of money in that section, and the

by the forest service on The Timber
Supply of the United States"
Our present forest area of $50

sonable care, there is sufficient young
growth to produce in the course of

crop OF timber, and 100. 900, 900 acres
