The late l. Q. c. Lamar. former United
States Senator from Mississippi, and at
the time of his death an associate justice
Of the United States Supreme Court, was
very absent-minded and distracted
man.
One day he entered one Of the old horse
cars that ran in Washington years ago,
walked up to the box at the end where
passengers were supposed to deposit
their fares. put his hand in his pocket,
took out a coin. and dropped 1t In.

TRAFFIC RULES NECESSARY.
Drivers of Wagons and Chauneurs
Should Study Regulations.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Nothing in the newspapers for a long
time has pleased me SO much as the in
formation in The Herald that there are
to be traffic rules" in this city. The
ill-considered turns Of drivers might
have been more strongly characterized.
for I. as a bicyclist, have often saved
life or limb only by a lightning dismount.
because Of the almost universal habit Of
drivers in turning into a street to their
left before crossing to bring them near to
its right-hand curb. A bicycle coming
toward them on the proper side is caught
in a dangerous.
And should not the driver OF a motor
car. going in the same direction as a
street car. take for granted when the
car stops at corner that passengers
perhaps small children-are to alight, and
that his duty is emphatically not. as
is now generally the case. to whiz by
within three feet of the car?

AN ALL ROUND GOOD TOWN.

Joseph M. O'Brien, representing the
Atlas Oil company of Detroit is in the
city today on business. Mr.. O'Brien
is general manager of the western
district and covers twelve states in
the interests of his company. He
says that he has found business good
this season, and that Durango is the
best town in the state, in business
way, just now.
Mr.. O'Brien added that he should
like to live in Durango on account of
the climate and water. He likes its
setting, located in the midst of the
hills with roads running out of the
town in all directions, and fine agri-
cultural and mountain scenery, almost
at our doorsteps. The loss of the at
fractions that the city has to offer,
Mr.. O'Brien thinks is more than made
up to US in the abundant opportuni-
ties for recreation which the section
around Durango affords, to those who
appreciate sane and simple living.

MAYOR HAUSSLING AGAIN
HEAD OF CITY HOME BOARD.
Reorganization Meeting Held.
Superintendent Submits Report.

Mayor Haussling was reelected pres
ident at the organization meeting of
the board of trustees of the City Home,
held in the City Hall last night. Carl
Heller, the superintendent of the home,
submitted his report for the year and

he called the right man in the right
place. The election of Mayor Haussling
took place after the old board a adj
journed sine die. The Mayor, thanked
the board for it's support md said
that he appreciated the honor of being
elected again.

ance of the previous ear n the mis-
c~ellaneous receipts, a total of $S1, 1854. 81
was IN hand when business was be-
gun last year. or this $63,61S.45 were
expended during the year, leaving a
balance Of SIS, 245.S2. but of this about
s17,0 0 will have to be paid out for
contracts which have been given Out
during last year
In his annual report Mr.. Heller calls
attention to the fact that 20 per cent.
of the boys who were received at the
home during the last year were under
IA years Of age. OF the los boys re-
ceived, 20 were illiterate, and the school
training of all of them, with a very few
exceptions, was very badly neglected.
Several of the boys the report reads,
although born in America and of
American parents, are completely illit-
crate, which / consider a most deplor-
able condition."
Mr.. Heller explained that for this
reason the schoor work is the principal
occupation at the home and that the
new school which is now being erected
would improve conditions very much.
There are now 1862 boys in the home.
