CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
THE OLD CAPITOL BUILD
 ING.
By A. w. MACY.

The structure in Washington City known as the "Old Capitol Building" has a memorable his tory. 1t was erected in 1900, and was originally designed as tavern, or boarding house. On account of poor management the tavern was closed after a few years. During the War of 1912 the British captured Wash ington and burned several of the public buildings, including the Capitol. The government then purchased this taVer3 building for the use of congress, and here both houses met for sew eraI years. Within it's walls two presidents were inaugu- rated, and in it John C. Cal. houn died. After the new Capt tol building was completed the "OId Capitol" was abandoned by congress, and after that 1t was used for various purposes, hotel, boarding school, etc. In 1861 the government again took charge of it, and used 1t during the Civil war as a prison for captured southern soldiers.

This is Old Home week in Ellsworth.
The good old city has decked herself out
bravely with bunting and flags and cleo
trio lights in honor of the homecoming
boys and girls; she makes lively blus-
ter with music and fakirs and parades and
dances and plays to amuse them, but
beneath all this show and bluster is a
deeper meaning-the Old Home love.
The Observance of Old Home week has
brought together within the compass Of
these few days many former residents Of
Ellsworth, some of them annual visitors,
but whose visits are 90 scattered through
the summer that they seldom meet each
other, while others are here who have not
seen the old home and old home friends
for many years. The real spirit OF Old
Home week is reflected in the warm hand
clasp, the tear, perhaps, as some old
friends meet, or the jolly laugh at old
"reminiscences.
1t is right, too, that gaiety should be
mingled with all this. 1t is the vacation
time. These "boys" and "girls" OF Els
worth are home for rest from worries of
work; they are here for good time at the
old home, with which they will always
associate the happiest periods Of their
lives. So Ellsworth has mixed gaiety
with her old home love for her boys and
girls, and invites her neighbors of the
surrounding towns to make merry with
her.
The early days Of the week saw the
more formal, more dignified, the more
sentimental observances of the week,
with the two religious services on Sunday
and the Old Home Week exercises on
Tuesday. Now, for the rest Of the week,

We see the tall spires, of Heaven remind

And, clearest of all, though with tears our

To mind once again comes the home Of
