the meantime. He was given an hon.
orable discharge and the army knows
him no more.
Myer created the biggest sensation
the army has had for long time. He
tried to get into West Point, but was
barred by age, and from the naval
academy because of his size. Then
he enlisted in the cavalry, but that
did not suit his liking and he trans
ferred into the signal corps, where
he was promoted to be a corporal.
AT Fort Myer the dude soldier was
the envy of his comrades and a par
ticular bore to his officers After a
hard days drill, or the attendance on
some other military duty, Corporal
Myer would go to his bachelor apart
ments, have his valet rub him down
and then don the habiliments of a
society man. That night, perhaps, his
commanding officers would find him
in the same ballroom with themselves.
The youngster rode and walked with
the fairest of Washington's bellies, and
had money to burn. He never did
anything to excite the anger Of his
superiors except to play the dual role

AT DIV that the season of parties,
IN dances or sewing circles has be-
gun its busy whirl, 1t is natural
that our minds turn to the little ac-
cessories that make our life interest
ing, to say the least Even If we
have outgrown the fancy bag age
and more's the pity If that be the
case-we can make this pretty thing
for others.
Three suggestions are before you,
designed in such a way that they
should appeal 20 the painters, embroi-
derers or pyrographers, and each one
promises success for easy work and
much effect at little cost.
II you decide to make a square bag
of four strips Of white or ecru velvet
attached to square bottom, the daisy
design Is the best. Cut your strips
and follow the suggestion here given.
Photographed velvet is extremely effec-
tive, giving rich brown tones, which
you can deepen at the centers OF the
flowers and the stems. Touch up. II
you wish, with yellow stencil dyes or
oil paint Embroidery is equally erec.

Progressive Puzzle Party.

The requirements for this party are
children to make four at a table, as
many tally cards and pencils as
guests, box of stars for markers or
a punch and a couple of prizes, more
If the hostess wishes.
Often enough puzzles may be bor-
rowed or they may be bought. For
very small children sliced animals
and sliced birds will be popular.
There should be as many puzzles as
children. Some times the puzzles are
given as prizes, then each guest takes
home one. All these ARRANGEMENTS
each individual hostess must decide
for herself. The tally cards may be
made at home from colored cardboard
cut In the shape of an Interrogation
mark. Number each one at the top
and place corresponding numbers on
the puzzles. For instance, the players
who have number 1, 2, 8, will take
puzzles marked l, 2, 3, 4, and 20 to
head table which will be marked num-
Der 1. Those who draw s, 6, Z, 8 will
take puzzles marked the same and 90
to table number Q. When a PLAYER
finishes at the head table a bell is

Treasury Building Is Overcrowded

building, plans for which were drawn
by William T. Elliott, a surveyor, who
came to Washington in 1913.
The 80 granite monoliths, each of
which cost $500 and weighs 80 tons,
now stand in an unbroken row. They
are said to be the finest example of
their kind of the stonecutter's art. It
required ten men, working 60 days. to
produce each of them, and solid train
OF 80 fiat cars brought them to Wash
ington from the quarries in Massachu-
setts.
To make more space inside the build
ing all the files of letters and docu-
ments will be stored in the old coal
vaults under the lawn on the Pennsyl-
vania avenue side, and new coal vaults
are being built on the side opposite the
White House.
The completed building. as it stands,
represents three stages of construction.
The nucleus, located by Jackson, was
finished in 1912. The south wing was
finished in 1864. The north wing, f1n-
ished in 1869, is on the side of the old
state department building
The long colonnade of brown stone,
erected in 1864, deteriorated in the
southern climate and was replaced by
the present granite monoliths little
more than year ago.

Big Job to Fill the Supreme Bench

Democrat, appointed from Illinois, has
died, and Justice Moody, a Republic
an, of Massachusetts, has resigned
because of ill-health, and President
Taft will have to fill these two va
cancies.
In addition to judicial fitness, poll
tics and geographical qualifications
must be considered. Moreover, the
president is brought face to face with
a task which will be of tremendous
Importance to the United States for
the next generation. With political
beliefs changing over night and great
er zeal in governmental supervision
being urged by the dominant party,
the court which President Taft must
reconstruct will pass on all the
changes in the organic laws of the
United States which may be made by
congress.
The problem will not be solved
for the public until after congress
meets, as it has been definitely an
nounced at the White House that no
judicial appointments would be sent
to the senate until the Monday fol-
lowing the reconvening of congress.

WHEN the small army of architects
w and artisans has finished the
work now in progress on the Uni
ted States treasury building, the beau
tiful old structure will show the first
material change since 1869 Architec-
turally it still will represent a pagan
temple, indicating, many folk say, the
American peoples worship of money.
But visitors to the nations capital who
have not seen the treasury in 40 years
will find some changes for efficiency
and economy.
The nucleus of the present building,
located where President Jackson, irri-
tated by the procrastination of con-
gress in choosing a site, put his hick-
ory stick down with thump and ex-
claimed, Put 'er there, on that spot, "

Quaint Ideas and Expressions

Referring to a verdict recently
given by coroner's jury that death

the British Medical Journal says:
This verdict may be added to those
cited in the report of the select COM
mittee on death certif1cation. where
DR.. Ogle is quoted as saying: One
verdict came before me little time
ago which was this: "a man died
from stone In the kidney, which stone
he swallowed when laying on gravel

was given as a verdict. I thought
some joke had been played. and I
wrote down about 1t, and found 1t was
an absolute fact. Another one Is

Some New, Old Games.

Here are some very old games, but
/ am sure they will be brand-new to
many of our young readers. The first
Is called Catching the Snakes Tail
and comes to us from japan, where
1t is a great favorite. The children
form in line, each with hands resting
upon the shoulders of the player in
front. The one who is to act as
catcher is left out. The first child
IN the line is called the head" and
the last one the tail" When time
to begin the catcher" is placed about
Is feet from the head" at signal
he tries to catch the tall or the last
child in the snake" without touching
any one else. The others may de-
fend the tall by moving about, keep
ing the line unbroken. for If the line
should be broken it is equal to the
tall being caught and that unlucky
person must become the catcher while
the last named goes to the head of
the line.
Now for the second game, called
Feather Play" 1t is very amusing,
although 1T sounds so simple. All the
players are seated on the floor, having
first countetd "out" to see who will be
cit" A hollow square is formed with
a sheet held close up to the chins of
the players on the floor. A feather is
produced. a little downy thing, and
blown back and forth by the players.
The trick is for the child who is "it''
to try to catch the feather on one of
the children or directly in front of a
child when that one becomes 'it"
The feather must not be touched by
the hands of the children on the floor
nor must they rise from the floor;
their hands must be kept under the
sheet, all manipulations of the feather
being done by blowing.

THE seven justices Of the Supreme
/ court of the United States, led by
the venerable Justice Harlan, called
on President Taft the other day to pay
their respects. This annual call of
courtesy reminded the president of
duty which is uppermost in his mind
and occupying it almost to the ex-
clusion of any other consideration, for
the president is called upon to re-
model the highest tribunal in the land.
The president has appointed two
justices already-Hughes in place of
Brewer, who died, and Lurton in place
of Peckham of New York, also dead.
These deaths removed a Republican
and a Democrat, and their successors
were of the same political faith.

the most complete set of Notifications
Uncle Sam possesses. Stretching
across the mouth of the harbor are a
series of islands. The largest of these
islands and the one which will be used
as base of supplies for the others is
Corregidor, from which the first hostile
gun was directed against Admiral Dew
ey's fleet in 1898. On Corregidor the
army is installing "a company post.
Warehouses of a capacity to contain
supplies for whole year for 10000
men have been built. This island is
considered impregnable from the sea
side.
But the most interesting of all the
islands is the El Fraile, at present a
tiny rock rising in pinnacle 1SO feet
above the bay. The shape of the island
will, as stated, be changed by means
of steel and concrete walls which will
extend below the water line, to resem-
Bile the hull of battleship. No sec
tion of the island ground will be ex-
posed to fire. 1t will be surrounded
and covered over by steel and concrete
walls, about fifty feet thick on the
sides and almost solid steel on the top.
On the surface of this deck" two tur-
rets will be placed, each turret con-
tanning two 14-inch guns. Besides the
four large guns, four siX-inch rapid
fire rifles will be placed in embrasures
at the seaward end, and like batteries
of small guns will be placed at other
points Of advantage. Quarters will be
provided for only sufficient number
