Setting the Capital in Order.

In December, 1900, the centennial
anniversary of the removal of the seat
of government to the District of Co.
lumbia was observed. With one ac-
cord, senators, representatives, govern
ors and others of high and low degree
expressed the belief that the time to
set the city in order, artistically, was
at hand. Among other organizations
celebrating the anniversary was the
Institute of American Architects,
which in it's discussion of past achieve
ments did not lose sight of the fact
that the future held possibilities.
Working on its suggestions, Senator
Mcmillan, chairman. of the committee
on the District of Columbia, secured
the passage of a resolution authorizing
him to appoint commission to pre-
pare plan for the improvement of the
park system. The commission, com
posed of Danial H. Burnham, Frederick
Law Olmsted, Jr., Charles McKim
and Augustus st. Gaudens, prepared a
plan which, conforming so far as pos
sible with that of L'Enfant, extended it
to meet present conditions, and pro-
vided measures to neutralize the mis-
placing of the Washington monument
and other buildings.
The appointment of this park COM
mission marked the third epoch in the
development of Washington as beau
tiful city. 1t did more than that, for
though the plans submitted by the
commission have not been realized
and, indeed, it was not expected that
they would immediately-the attention
of the entire country was aroused and
the movement for the betterment Of
other cities given impetus.

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
yigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times day. Science has found out
differently.
1t lis now common thing for fam
lily physician to order less meat, as in
the following letter from N. Y. man.
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. / tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, ETC.,
but got no relief until / tried Grape.
Nuts food.

benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth Of medicine I had taken

MY wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family, largely due to
Grape Nuts.
I'VE have been SO much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be I'm.

A Dramatic Suicide.

A novel, but greWsome, method of
suicide is that of Lieut. stanwekicz,
Galicia. He saturated the furniture of
his room with naphtha, which he also
poured over the floor, and he placed on
the carpet number of ball cartridges.
Then he fired the room in several
places, SO that in a few minutes it was
converted into veritable furnace, and
finally hurled himself into the midst of
the flames. The smoke and a series of
violent explosions alarmed the neigh
bors, who FASTENED to help in extin-
gushing the fire, but when it was pos
sible to enter the house only the ashes
of the lieutenant were to be found

NEW BELLE or WHITE HOUSE.
Helen Heron Taft Win Be Popular ir

Helen Heron Taft has followed in
her fathers footsteps in choosing her
most intimate friends in Washington
from the army set What Gen. Bel
and Gen. Clarence Edwards are tc
the new president, young ladies like
Miss Ayrshire and Miss Webster are
to his only daughter.
At the same time she has formed
many close friendships at school, and
these ties are bringing Miss Taft an
ever-increasing numbe of invitations
to devote her vacations to house par
ties, and will result il the presence
of many youthful residents of many
different cities when the time comes
for Miss Taft to make her debut in the
White House-something for which
Mrs. Taft has as yet planned but ten
tatively.
The newly chosen first lady of the
land expects her only daughter to
become White House debutante. OF
course, but she has also expressed the
hope that this social inaugural can be
deferred for year or two, principals
because the new president, who il
vastly proud of his brilliant and stu
dious daughter, will be disappointed ii
she does not fulfill the promise made
at her entry, when, as mentioned, she
Won the prize for highest honors in the
entrance examinations.
The new White House belle is, like
her mother, member of the Episco
pal church. She was reared in the
atmosphere of that denomination, al

She was confirmed by the late Bish.

Misses Julia and Alice Won Meyer,
daughters of the present postmaster

THE CAVE DUEL
BY ALvAH MILTON KERR

We were stringing the fourth wire
of the telegraph line through the
Siskiyou range when it happened. AS
day by day we climbed toward the sky,
now hidden in canyons or working high
on the open sides of cliffs, yet ever
rising toward the towering spine of
the range, we beheId many impressive
sights, near and distant.
Dandy was one of twin brothers
whom took on the construction force
at Redding, a town at the northern
end of the Sacramento. valley. The
Peek twins, while naturally very alike
in exterior, were, II temperamental
way, very dissimilar. Dandy, as we
called him, was of catlike agility and
was soon promoted to climber, that
it, to tying the wire to the insulators
on the poles. He seemed always
laughing and whistling and chatting
the others with jokes, while the
Saint an ironical title that ere long
fastened itself to the other brother,
was meek-faced and of quiet demeanor.
He suffered in talking, and somehow
we got the impression that he was
penetrated by streak of timidity that
approached cowardice. But events
proved that we did not know the
Saint" The brothers were touching
ly loyal to each other.
The Saint was ''puller," that is to
say, he was one of two helpers who
worked out ahead, but behind the reel,
hooking onto the wire and pulling up
the slack while the tie was being
made to the insulator. On the morn
ing OF our adventure with the mountain
lion he was left, having touch of
fever, down at camp in the canyon be-
low where we were working. In the
Saints absence, I got into his pulling
straps and set the work going.
We were "stringing" in a narrow
slit slashed through dense cloud Of
bull-pines on a mountainside early one
