ty within the limits of the city.
The most impressive thing to the
visitor on entering the city is it's mag
nificent gateway. The union station
has been written about widely, but
the country at large probably doesn't
understand what a beautiful thing
Washington has in the great structure
of marble and granite lying to the
north Of the capitol.
1t doesn't make any difference how
big it is or how many million dollars
it cost. Statistics are of no special
consequence. All that the visitor
knows is that it Is quarter of mile
walk to go from one end of the build
ing and back again; that the splendid
rotunda is one of the finest things he
has ever seen and that the building
looks out through three colossal door,
ways.
The station stands in a great plaza
which Is not yet finished. Street cars
circle this plaza, but the landscape is
not disfigured with overhead trolley
wires. And this is one of the striking
things about the whole city. You
see street after street given over to
street cars. but with a clear vista.
Washington has one advantage in
the compactness of it's plan. It is
possible to keep the streets in very
much better condition when they are
not spread over whole prairie land.
scape. The Washington streets are
paved with miles and miles of asphalt
and they look as If they had been
busted off every morning with a feath-
er buster. The Washington street de.
partment has the advantage, of course,
of not having to contend with large
amount of trucking. The national cap.

scrupulous care of the streets makes
the average visitor from a commercial
city exceedingly envious.

A Master Of the Art of News
letter Writing

William f. Curtis, the famous
correspondent of The Chicago Record
Herald. probably has a more envi-
able position and is read by more men
and women daily than any other
newspaper writer in the United
States. He can 60 anywhere in the
world and write on any live topic
that he chooses;so long as he interests
his hundreds of thousands of readers.
He has travelled several times around
the world and written entertainingly
about almost every country under
the sun.
Every day in the year, without va
cation or intermission, Mr.. Curtis
has a two-column lettar in The Rec
ord Herald. The remarkable thing
about these letters is their power to
interest all glasses ofreaders. Wom-
en- read them with the same enjoy
ment as men. Whether the subject
be politics, travels, new kink in
the Monroe doctrine, an interview
with the newest money king or the
personal history of an Egyptian
the story is always told
with limpid simplicity and an I'M
failing sense of interest that keeps
one reading to the end. No other
correspondent now living can match
the record of Mr.. Curtis as popular
purveyor of timely and useful infor-
nation. Whether he writes from
his home in Washington or from the
wilds of Mexico, from the gay streets

trees can be made to bloom later in
the spring, and give greater assur-
ance of crop, through escaping late
freezes. He has learned that peach
buds lie dormant for six weeks in
the year, and all the rest of the time
they will grow If the weather is
warm enough. BY cultivating the
earth around the trees late into the
fall the trees will continue to grow
until cold weather actually sets in.
This makes them come out later in
the spring. Another way to protect
the buds from late freezes is to
spray the trees with whitewash. The
white of the lime forms on the buds,
and defects the heat of the sun away
from the buds, so that they will not
grow until late spring comes"

Strawing Endicott Streets.

Spokane, Wash, April 6.-Paving
town streets with wheat straw as a
means of binding the mud in the
spring and keeping the dust down
later in the season is being demon
strated at Endicott in Whitman
county, Wash, south of Spokane,
where two miles of streets were
treated this spring, foot of fresh
straw being laid from curb to curb
and packed into the wet ground fol-
lowing a slight rainfall. The expert
ment is considered to be success,
as the streets are neat and clean
and there Is no dust, through traffic
to and from the big wheat ranches
is heavy. Country roads in other
parts of Washington have been
"strawed" for years during the sum-
mer months to hold the dust, but
this is the first time it has been tried
in a town and it is not unlikely that
other communities will take up the
work until permanent pavements are
built.

"FAsHION"
Fashion," Small Boy Says, ut Is
One Of the Most Destructive
Customs Practiced."

A small boy of the writer's &C
quaintance has written word of
warning to the women of the coun-
try on the subject of Fashion, "
which he denounces as "a most des-
tructive custom" In an article, not
prepared for the press, however. and
which he will be rather surprised to
see in print, he says:
Fashions originate in Paris,
France. 1t is one of the most des-
tructive customs practiced in the
world. Women. only, indulge ex-
tensively in fashions.
Millinery, especially, costs the
people more than double the price
that should be paid. Even a common
straw hat, with a feather in it, costs
from three to four dollars. The
price of hats each year increases, and
it is now outrageous. Hats hcange
their forms each year. Sometimes
they are as large as bushel basket.
In order to distinguish this kind from
smaller ones they call them merry
widows. This year hats are stylish
in almost any size or shape.
Dresses also change their appear
ance. The latest fad this year is
tight fitting dresses, with numerous
buttons. Much injury is done to
women by tight fitting clothes.
May the time come when women
will realize the Importance of caring
for their body and health and es-
pecially for the poor mans pocket

A Long MOTORCYCLE Trip.

Spokane, Wash, April ct. E. Lin
den, a member of the Spokane Mo-
torcycle club, who fought under the
name OF "Riley" in the Boer war,
has completed arrangements for a
trip around the world on a motor
cycle in IL months, leaving Spokane
at IL o'clock noon on May 1, when a
party of his club mates will give
him a rousing send-off. He will ride
as far north as Dickinson, Mont,
thence to Pierre, S. D., south to Chi
cago, and east to New York, travel
ing along the borders of the Great
Lakes to avoid the mountainous
country. Returning to this CONT
nent he will land at Vancouver, B.
c., and ride to Spokane. This is
said to be the first time that anyone
has attempted to travel around the
world on a motorcycle, and it is be-
lieved that Linden will be success
full, as he will be backed from start
to finish by members of the club
who are ambitious for a record. The
round-the-world ride is not on a wag-
err nor are any of the usual freak
conditions attached to the test of en-
durance.

Pete M'Veigh is
in Grand Shape

SEATTLE, Dec. 6.--Pete McVeigh,
the little S. A. c. lightweight who will
make his professional debut against
Louie Long in Tacoma next Friday
night, is showing all kinds of speed
and endurance in his preliminary train
ing, and Lonnie Allen, Petes teacher.
and manager, is more than pleased
with the form the little fellow Is show

victory for McVeigh, and he will not

pete is faster than he ever was"
declared Austin last night. HE is
hitting harder than ever, too. Be
cause he failed to knock out Charley
Boscha in their four-round bouts. q
lot of folks think Pete has lost his
punch AS a matter Of fact, he was
not in the best of shape when he met
Boscha. He looked all right, but the
change from the hard outdoor work
and the steady drive in the mines, to
which he had always been accustomed.
to the indoor gymnasium work, took
his steam away. Now he is used to
the indoor work and since he has
been out on the road he has come

should be decided
One of the arguments was that II
one person bet that a certain horse
had won a race after the finishing line
had been passed, and the result Of the
.hace was a dead heat, he would lose,
as he had wagered that a certain house
had won
This seems far-fetched and based
strictly upon a technicality. If the
ID deduction is correst he would win his
wager, as all horses running dead
heat, according to the racing rules. are
winners. unless the race is run off be-
tween them.
Another argument was started
wherein a person bet that a certain
horse won, the bet being made i'm
mediately after the horse finished.
The number of the horse bet on as
the winner, and hoisted by the racing
Judges, and to all intents and purposes
the horse was the winner, but owing to
irregularty was disqualified Here
there was a decided difference of
opinion, some believing that the bet
should go with the purse and others
maintaining that the bet was won i'm
bediately after the number of the horse
bet on as the winner was hoisted on
the official board.
1t looks as if the last solution is
most just. In making a bet of this
kind persons are betting on their
Judgment Of a finish between two or
more horses and are betting on the
opinion of the placing judge after the
race is over They are pot taking into
consideration any Irregularities.
1t is very different proposition
when one person bets another that a
certain horse will beat another while
the horses are running. In that case
the wager would most assuredly go
with the purse or stake, as the wager
is made owing to the difference of OPP
inion between the bettors as to which
is the better horse before the race is
finished In such case disqualification
would not enter the argument, it being
a question of which horse gets the
larger part of the purse. the decision
of the racing stewards. being final.
Many arguments were brought about
after Livonia and Prince Imperial
ran their dead heat at Belmont Park
last fall and all were founded OF
and wording of wagers.
The majority were settled on the COM
mon sense basis. the bets being de-
clared ''off" There were few who had
,vagered that Prince rmperial had
won, declaring that as Prince Imperial
had only run a dead heat they were en-
titled to their winnings

Players Well Paid.
The way the proceeds of those

the old idea of match play. There is
a winners and a losers end of the
purse, which is DIVIDED among the play

percentage of the gross. 1t has been
said that the players get three times
as much as the promoters. This is
easily explained. The Almendares park
controlled by Eugenio Jiminez. is the
only one in Havana having regular
stands All league games are played at
the ANmendares lot. Jiminez takes care
of the tickets and details of the bust
ness When the gate receipts have
been counted for a game, 25 per cent
of the gross is given to Jiminez. Then
there is a slight charge, generally $10O,
to be paid out of the gross for license
