below in such a way that any chance
thunderbolt may be carried by that

The task of scrubbing the statue is
merely incidental to that of painting

REASON FOR PETERS TEARS
Wire From Bale of Hay Caught in
Mouth of Hippopotamus Caused
Big Animal to Weep.

Peter cried steadily for nearly a
week, and the keepers at the Bronx
zoo in New York could not imagine
what was the matter with him. Peter
could not tell them, because he had
never learned to speak English, and
he was only hippopotamus, anyway.
He just stood in his big cage and let
the tears run down his cheeks. He
would not eat, and all he would do
was open his mouth so wide that you
might have showed a bale of hay into
1t. 1t was bale of hay that had
caused all the trouble. When, at last,
the keepers looked down into the back
of Peters great red mouth they saw
that an iron wire that had been used
for baling hay had been jabbed into
the flesh and was sticking theNa 1t
was no wonder that Peter cried and
could not eat. The keepers fixed the
hippo's jaws open. and then one OF the
men reached in and tied a cord to the
wire. 1t took three men to pull It out,
but they did it. and then Peter went
TO work on the dinners that he had
not been eating.

large ball which all the military, naval
and diplomatic corps will attend.
There will also be many attendants
from the colleges, for Miss Tafts
brother, Robert, attends Yale, and
Miss Taft herself is a student at Bryn
Mawr.
1t is said that Mrs. Taft intends
allowing Miss Helen to run practical
ly all the government functions next
year, in so far as that is possible,
owing to her own bad health and her
desire to rest.
Although the coming season prom
ises to be an exceptionally gay one,
it is said that Miss Taft, who is twen-
ty, enters the social world with some
regret Those who know ner best de-
clare it was her personal wish to re-
turn to school, as she would have
been graduated next June, and every
girl loves to graduate. But the bur-
dens of a hostess at the White House
have proved too heavy for her mother,
and consequently the younger woman
changed her plans.

UNMARRIED AT WASHINGTON
Very Sad Plight of the Girl Who Can.

There is a reverse to the picture;
that life in the capital will always pos.
sess an attraction which cannot be de-
fined, and that routine work is not so
wearing as the uncertain rush" OF
ordinary business, says the National
Magazine. Wealthy people from all
parts of the country establish homes
at Washington to enjoy the social sea-
son, and their daughters are all eager
to go, but the young men remain at
the old home attending to business,
and such young men are seldom found
at Washington. The government serv
ice constantly enlists women from all
over the country, who are usually
women of extraordinary ability and
highly educated Many of them are
related to residents of Washington
and readily find work in the govern
ment service without having to go
afield for it. Naturally the matrimo

years ago there were many fresh, pref

now there are more mature faces
steadily performing the same daily
tasks. Three out of every ten govern.

women, a percentage far exceeding
any government force anywhere else

MISHAP TO "JACK AND JILL"
Certain Familiar Mother Goose Rhyme

Good nonsense grows out of good

obstacle In his path, and fell, his head
striking the ground with great vio-

summoned, pronounced the lads In

An apparatus to teach swimming

California man. The principle lies in
the fact that it will teach the proper

a habit the pupil Will strike out in the
correct way as soon as he or she
hits the water. The novice lies on a
padded support, which extends to her

above her head, and attached to
these pulleys are cables. The cable
in her right hand is fastened to her

Porto Rico an Ideal Resort.

Porto Rico is the future rest-cure
resort and winter playground of North
America, according to a bulletin IS
sued BY the war department. Many
inquiries have been sent TO the gov

that the island weather is hot and dry,
punctured by torrential rains.
The insular bureau disputes this
idea, declaring that the normal tenn

A SURPRISE.

Young Benjamin was coming down
The stairs as youngsters do,
Pausing at every step to stamp
Upon each tiny shoe.
And peeping through the banisters
He laughed aloud in glee
And held his wooden elephant
That all below might see.
Alas! when nearly down. the toy
Fell from his needless hand
And crash upon the marble floor
With heavy thud did land.
A startled step did Baby make.
With terror in his eyes,
And he, too, landed with thump.
And that was the surprise.
