More of His Intimate Writings
to dad" From WASH
ington.
WASHINGTON, d. c.,

Jan. 7, 1911.
The associated pawnbrokers of
the District of Columbia have
pooled their interests and raised a
sum of $4,000 which is to be paid
to former Senator John M. thurs
ton If he succeeds in killing the
loan shark bill now pending in
congress.
One of the most important Of
ficials in the general postoffice de-
partment is Postmaster General
Frank Hitchcock's press agent. He
has an office adjoining that of the
postmaster general, has clerks, as
sistants and typewriters, and does
a land office business at govern
ment expense. Even the first,
second and third assistant post
master generals dare not give out
anything to the press, except
through Frank Hitchcock's censor.
Ask any architect what is the
most beautiful, as we'll as the most
characteristic structure in the
United States, and he will answer
the dome of the national capitol.
The architects of the capitol, when
this dome was constructed, were
Walter and Clark, and they have
gone down to fame as the design
ers of this dome. AS a matter of
fact, they were not. The real
creator of this dome was a young
German craftsman by the name
of Schoenborn, who worked under
n nd 1o ,.lr
on G street and died only a short
time ago. Schoenborn came from
Germany with modest disposition
and an excellent technical educa-
ton. He was kept secreted in the
crypt somewhere and was content
to hold his job and let the glory go
to others. The dome is what the
architects call a false dome,'
and is one of the first structures
made of structural cast iron.
l.. w. Page, director of the
United States office of public
roads, says: Our annual loss on
account of incorrect and inade-
quate methods in the construction,
maintenance and administration of
Jul puDiiC IOduS L SSliudLe 10 ne
SAC 100000. The burden which
bad roads annually impose on us
through excessive cost of trans.
portation is not less than $780,
100000"
There is one point on which
standpat and progressive republic
ans in both the senate and the
house seem to be unanimous. 1t is
this: That William Howard Taft
will be renominated for the presi-
dency and will be beaten by DEM
ocrat. Sincerely, RATH.

The loose Kettle lid that is always
falling from its place every time the
contents are poured is Il cause of much
annoyance which can be done away
with by the use of n simple wire re-
tainer, as shown In the sketch. The
retainer is made of a piece of heavy
wire seventeen inches long bent as
shown In Fig. /. The wire is fitted on
the inside of the lid, as shown in Fig. 2.
The spring of the wire will keep 1t in

passes under the top OF the kettle and
prevents the lid from falling off.--Pop-
