tesque by hastily devised means OF
lighting. After short experience of
this Inconvenience the authorities
yielded to Pataud's demands.
In June last he made another at

demands. BY this time. however. many

with man who. by a word could
plunge the entire city In darkness,
planned to place themselves beyond
his autocratic control. They provided
themselves with electric lighting
plants OF their own, and rested con.

concerned they we're safe. Nonunion
men were placed In charge of the
plants and the proprietors were In a
position to defy Pataud.
Pataud was born In small town
outside Paris In 1869. His parents
were poor and his early life was full OF
privations. He had little or no school.

WASHINGTON II. Hitch.
w cock, postmaster general, is the
sartorial masterpiece of this admins.
tration. No statistics have been COM
piled on the number of clothes Mr..
Hitchcock owns. Lost in admiring
contemplation of their refined yet
fetching splendor, few have been able
to recall themselves to the mere
mathematical aspects of the splendid
procession of variegated vestments.
Mr.. Hitchcock is one of those men
who wear their clothes well. He is
particular that they be newly pressed
and carefully busted. He will stop in
the midst of the most serious confer
ence to draw up the port compartment
of his trousers In avoidance OF a
menacing bag at the knee. adjusting
1t in the exact position to obviate the
bag at the knee, and yet to prevent
any unseemly wrinkling at the thigh.
Thus elevated. the Hitchcock trouser
invariably displays a modest segment
of hosiery never known to depart from
the rule that correctly tailored
mans hose must match his necktie.

Mr.. Hitchcock is plainly the original

persons that there must have been an

awful production of headgsar. There
must have been man on whom 1t
looked good. comfortable and home
like. That man has been discovered.
He is now postmaster general.
The F street tailors are said to

who makes the Hitchcock clothes
