Land

Buy it.
Buy every foot of it that looks good to you.

less injured, and there is no way to
stop II unless the whole surface of the
interior be guarded with wire or iron
bars. There are nearly 100 landings on
the stairs inside of the structure, and
1t would take no less than twenty-fi five
men to care for the entire length, from
top to bottom, a care which would en-
tail an expense which can hardly be
entertained.
1t is not difficult thing to make a
rough calculation and discover that at
the present rate of destruction it will
be simply a matter of time when the
great Washington monument will be a
pile of ruins.
Capitol DefacementH
Going to the capitol building, the
pride of all real Americans, we find the
vandal has been there before us. AS
we enter the great east doors we find
the vandal has been at work upon the
the panels beyond all repair. These
doors, for which congress paid $4,000
and upon which the brains of the country
was engaged for years to produce, are
now mass of mutilation; every part
Of the bronze which is not a part Of
the solid casting has been broken off
These panels were designed to perpet-
uate in history the deeds Of the revolu-
ton, and not belong alone to the present
generation. They are the property of all
the people who are now here and those
who are to come.
The ends of the pistol, the points of
the bayonets and, IN several instances
the buttons of the coats have been
clipped off. 1t must not be imagined
that this was an easy job in some cases
tt was necessary to use hammer and cold
chisel, and in others even a crowbar was
required TO break the casting In one
or two instances the vandal, not being
able to remove any particle. has mutt
lated the eyes Of the figures.
Throughout the National Museum are
hundreds Of instances where the vandal has
destroyed property of untold value. but of
late years most Of the exhibits have been
encased, and acts of vandalism are more
rare than formerly.
Efforts to Safeguard.
In the library OF congress the practice
OF vandalism is reduced to a minimum, so
acute is the watchfulness of the attendants
who are off in a hurry at the least sound
OF the hammer or even a scraptng sound
All one has TO do to attract attention is
to tap on the wall with the head of your
lead pencil, and It will be but a moment
before the visitor is in the hands of the
authorities. Here the act Of the vandal is
confined to the mutilation of books by
those who tear leaf or two out rather
than copy it, and even this variety Of
fool business" is a dangerous procedure
which is followed by swift punishment.
All over Washington are hundreds OF in
stances where the innumerable statues and
monuments have suffered. and there is
no abatement of the destruction. Every
time the city is visited by a delegation
vandals leave their marke and just so much
less beauty. The authorities are at their
wits end to devise some plan or system
which win put an end to the practice

In the excavating for the store
buildings at the corner OF Lincoln
avenue and Twenty-fifth street, a
story OF the early days of Ogden and
a witch who lived in a cabin on that
spot Is brought TO mind by unearthed
pieces OF charrcd and decayed lum-

Der OF the old timers OF Ogden gatl-

skeleton of the witch would be un-
covered, but later this idea was dis
PEELED by the statement from an old
resident that the body was removed
TO the cemetery number of years
after burial on the vacant lot where
the cabin once stood.
The building Of store buildings on
this lot recalls to the mind OF early
residents Of Ogden the fact that for
more than quarter OF a century tails
corner has not had a building on II.
This has been later attributed TO the
foct that the property is owned by
non.residents and they have never
taken time to investigate the oppo-.
tunitleS that have been offered In OS-
den real estate and buildings
About thirty-flvc years ago. in A
cabin on this corner lot, lived an old
woman by the name of Claxton, and
who, by appearance and in actions,
gained the name of Witch ClaXton."
II is stated that she took perfect de-
light in living to keep others In fear
all the time. At night women and
children would be frightened while
passing the spot by the sudden and
dramatic appearance of the witch.
Not only were women and children
backward about passing the spot. but
men would pass with hurried step.
One cold and bleak morning In No
vember, men passing the corner were
attracted TO the cabin by agonizing
cries and shrieks While no one
cared about yenturing into the cabin
aparty of them broke open the door
There on the floor. lying In front of

The following day the cabin Of the
witch with all its crude furniture was
fired and burned TO the ground. II
is said that for years following the
death Of the witch and the destruc-
tIon Of her cabin the residents of
that part of the town always referred
TO the corner as being haunted. and
many were the nights that the young
people In going to their homes from
