An l,terectino RUNAWAY,

II read piece in your paper about
an automobile that run away with a
mans mother-in-law" correspondent
writes the Adams (Ga.) Enterprise,
"and I'm interested in that automo-
bile, and would like to know the name
and price of it, or if the owner would
part with it for an extra considera-
ton? The only objection to the story
lis that it doesn't go far enough; it
says the automobile ran away with
her but doesn't say what happened
whether the runaway was fatal, or the
automobile changed its mind and
turned round and came back to where
1t started from. Can you throw any
more light on the subject, and, by so
doing, oblige constant reader and old
subscriber"

RElNTERREp At SYCAMORE HILL.
Body Of White House Pet Is Esmoved
from Washington.

To change the resting place of some
famous man of bygone days is no un
usual occurrence, but 1t has re ,lai 1rd
for President Roosevelt to introduce q
novelty in the way of disinterment
and removal. Jack, the black-and tan
pet of Mrs Roosevelt, which was
buried in the White House grounds
three years ago, now lies under the
sod at Sycamore Hill, the presidents
summer home at Oyster Fay.
Three years ago the members of the
presidents family gathered about the
large tree that stands near the south
portico of the executive mansion and
witnessed the funeral held over the
remains of Jack.
The body of the dog was laid in q
special casket, and after it had been
lowered in the grave small lilac bush
was planted to mark the resting place
OF the White House pet. Three iron
pickets were placed about the grave
to keep visitors from walking over it.
Now all these have gone. and the little
casket, containing the remains OF
Jack and the small lilac busn are to
b. found at Sycamore Hill, alongside
of the grave of Skip, another Roose.
welt dog.
Jack was slightly larger than the
ordinary black and tan. and was a
most intelligent dog. Kermit and
Archie were Jacks instructors, and
under their tutelage he learned many
parlor tricks. Occasionally the presi.
dent himself would take a hand in the
education of the dog, whose perform.
ances were at times most amusing.
He could play dead dog" with the
dramatic effect of a Salvini and come
to life at the word police" as quickly
as any tramp ever impersonated on
the vaudeville stage.

:gridiron scheme of the regular rect
angular streets of Philadelphia, he
proposed a gridiron system broken by
diagonal avenues radiating from two
chief foci the main one, the capitol,
and the other the White House.
These diagonal avenues it must be
admitted, are mighty confusing to a
stranger When he is wandering along
and suddenly energies into a parkway
from which six or eight streets di
verge, it needs a level head and an
eye to topography to figure out how
to escape. But this disadvantage
passes away with familiarity and
thep the great benefit of the diagonal
plan is apparent Diagonal streets
give them the finest possible opportu-
mites for splendid vistas of architec-
ture and sculpture.
Washington is full of "circles,'
where the diagonal avenues cross the
rectangular streets. These are little
rarkWays, many of Them unfortunate.
ly, disfigured by poor statues. Per-
haps some day the town will have the
nerve to get rid of these pieces OF
sculpture and leave the circular spots
cof green in all their original beauty
The diagonal street plan was mere
5y one phase of L'Enfants compre'
hensive scheme of grouping the pub
lie buildings. At one end of Pennsyl
vania avenue he planned the White
House hanked by the treasury and the
state, war and navy department build
ings At the other end of the avenue
on a slight hill he assigned the site
tor the capitol, which to-day seems to
float in the air. veritable dream pal
ace, as seen through the mist from
the treasury steps.
South of the White House is the
Washington monument and the mile
and half from the monument to the
capitol is laid off in the Mall 1t is
expected eventually to clear off prac-
tically all the buildings south of Penn
sylvania avenue. thus extending the
Mall northWard to this diagonal line
On this vast parkway in the heart OF
the city the future government build
ings will be grouped. Magnificent op-
uortunities to obtain architectural eff
fects will be afforded by this plan.
BEFORE many years this example is
going to be followed by other cities.

TYPES ARE QUICKLY MERGED.
Component Parts of Washington
Crowd Not Easily Distinguished.

The cOsmoEOlitanism of a Washing
ton apartment house is not to be
measured with yardstick or worked
out according to table of logarithms
1t is something of such delicate tex.
ture that it requires much experience
in Sizing up humanity to detect its
presence. To a careless observer, a
crowd gathered in the lobby of one Of
them would be as deficient of types"
as series of Gibson girl pictures
If there were an American Dickens,
one who could evolve panorama Of
American characters as typical and
varied as Dickens literary children,
there could be no better place of OBJ.
servation and inquiry than where the
confluence of Americans is common.
The pronounced types rarely come to
the capital, and even when an Ameri.
can arrives with some striking ear
marks of provincialism they wear Oft
with astonishing rapidity. 1t might
be a difficult task to find some one in
Washington addicted to the use Of
"we-uns' and ''yonuns," but there are
parts of this great Uni ed States where
such expressions are not unusual. On
the whole, however, there is less dis
oinction in appearance, manners and
| language between res dent of the
United States living on the Pacific
/ coast and another resident living 5000
miles away than there is between Eng
lishmen living in adjoining shires.
Even the Texas cowboy is said to be
becoming a memory in Texas towns,
and the east side, New York, dialect,
as it is popularity written, was never
used in the Bowery, except On tho
stage. Nevertheless, there are shades
of distinction between the American

Water Ways and Peace.

The use of common water ways has
always proven a prolific cause of in
ternational wrangling. The joint
navigation of such waters, the joint
control of water power, the regulation
of fishing rights and the determine
ton of the use of water In navigable
streams having their rise in one jur-
isdiction and their outflow in another
have led to interminable dispute.
Later inventions, especially the use
of water power for :he development
of electrical energy, shave only served
to increase the possibilities OF dissen'
sion. There has been continuous
unsettled water ways debate between
the United States and Great Britain
from the time of the colonies. 1t 10
therefore OF most happy augury for
the future that treaty has been sue
cessfully negotiated by Secretary
Root and Ambassador Bryce providing
for amicable adjustment by a joint
high commission Of all future water
way and boundary difficulties.

Chief Justice, That's All.

There are very few PEOPLE who
know the present designation Of the
man who presides over the supreme
court" said Secretary of the Senate
Charles G. Bennett. Generally he is
referred to as the chief justice of the
United States supreme court. In fact
he is the chief justice. That's his Off
cial title Most Of our presidents in
nominating men for this Office have
fallen into the error of giving him the
long title. When George Washington
nominated Oliver Ellsworth of Con-
necticut for this post he described it
as chief justice of the supreme court
of the United States. Andrew Jack
son made the same error in nominal
ing Richard B. fancy. So did Abra-
ham Lincoln when he appointed
Salmon P. Chase. Grover Cleveland
was the first president to give the cor
rect designation. When he appoint
ed Melville w. Fuller he nominated
him to be chief justice and nothing
else. Future nominations will be
framed in this fashion"

Why does the being we call Z
gentleman" wear around his neck a
band of spotless whiteness and un.
bearable stiffness, at his wrists similar
instruments of torture, and before his
chest a rigidly starched linen plate
asks the Atlantic Monthly. No one
outside of madhouse would call
these articles Of apparel agreeable.
There is for the custom no reason at
all drawn from comfort, hygiene, or
usefulness. There is, however, the
ghost of dead reason. Once upon a
time a gentleman" was presumed to
do no work, and he dressed to show
this, by putting on these visible signs
that he never soiled his hands, sweat.
ed his neck, or bent his noble back.
It matters not that we no longer be.
lieve In this definition of gentleman;
we did believe 1t once; its ghost rules
on. No man is bold enough to appear
In society without this impossible
harness. Only some one who wishes
TO propose as a mild lunatic dares
rebel. Addison said that the man who
would clothe himself according to
common sense wvuld find himself In
lail within week.

Pretty Women,

''Every time | wait on an unusually
xood-looking, well-dressed woman"
said the girl behind the counter, some
one steps up the minute she leaves the
counter and asks who she is. l sup
pose in most cases the curiosity is en-
airely harmless. Maybe the inquirers
simply have passion for spotting rich
Or famous people. Judging by the ap-
pearance of my customer they suppose
her to be rich or famous or both, and
they appeal to me for information.
Naturally cant give them any. Very
often l really do not know who my
stylish customers are, and even If l do
know 1t isn't my place to set curious
busybodies ON their track"
