With respect to remedial legislation

would recommend that in all future legfs-

be a primary object to discourage the
practice of game preserving as incom-
patible with the successful pursuit OF
agriculture, hurtful to the morality OF
kindly feeling which should exist be-
tween the different ranks of society, and
generally disadvantageous to the inter-
eSts of the country.
That was more than fifty years ago.

made since, but nothing has ben done to
discourage the practice of game pre-

Wires Were Crossed.

TWO young society beaux of George
town during the past season ac-
ouired a most enviable reputation for
brilliancy and wit. Their impromptu
reloinders flashed forth with such
spontaneity that they were looked upon
by all their social coterie as young men
destined to shine as stars of the first
magnitude in the galaxy Of literary
wits.
why don't you two write for the
magazines?" was the constant query OF
their friends.
But they haven't that reputation any
more-and all on account of an innocent
remark of little seven-year-old sister
Mabel. And this is how ii happened.
A party of score or young people
were sitting on the veranda OF Bob $
house one evening during the recent
rainy spell, entertained to the limit by
the flashes that darted extempore from
the brains of the two young genuises.
thunder storm was blowing up, and
the big black clouds Of the vanguard
were sweeping eastward across the sky.
During a pause in the conversation
Harry cast a glance into the heavens.

going" he asked languidly
Going to thunder! Instantly replieo
Bob, and then the party roared.
"Oh, brother Bob, you and Mr.. Harry
got that wrong" put in little Mabel
after the laughter had subsidized. Il
heard you all say this afternoon that
going and Mr.. Harry was to say they
were going to thunder
And then the party roared again-but
for a different reason.

the various steps just outlined are
worked out. This division now occu-
pies practically the entire top floor Of
the Treasury building. having been
compelled to move there from smaller
quarters downstairs. The work has
increased in recent years to such an
extent that the force has been enlarged
from $50 to almost 400 employees.
While the principal steps in the evo-
luton of the government workshop
have been outlined. there are many
details which must be carried out that
require a vast amount of work. One
of the principal of these is the style
of architecture to be used in the vari-
Gus buildings. OF all those erected the
largest number are post offices, or
buildings In which are combined the
post Office, custom house and court
house. In all the buildings erected by
the government a certain style OF
architecture Is maintained. This is the
classic STYLE and although the build
ings in the various sections OF the
United States differ from one another
widely. the classic style of architecture
is used as the basic idea In all or
them.
The locality in which the building is
erected has much to do with the style.
In the southwest the Spanish type pre-

it is the colonial type. This same idea

the former comes under the control or the
quartermaster general, while the latter
come under the control of the yards and
docks bureau. Indian schools are erected
by the Indian bureau. The necessary re-
pair and other work done at the Capitol
comes under the charge OF Supt WOODS.
and the erection of other departmental
buildings is put in charge of the depart
ment having direct control Of the build
ing.
Besides the GOO buildings now erected
