at the end of the racing at Ascot
yesterday It seems that the cloakroom

they were not ready to hand. A wild

stole the gold cup four years ago had
been busy In the cloakroom and all
the women rushed to find for them

There has not been such an out
burst Of feminine excitement since
the last suffragist. raid on the house
Of commons. and the attendants grew
SO alarmed and were 80 afraid of the
cloakroom being stormed by the angry
owners Of the precious wraps that
they sent for the police. When the
constables came several ladies' fed

saved. The cause Of the commotion
IL said to have been the action OF
some women who left early and put

inlet and outlet pipes (4-inch sewer
tile with cemented joints) should be
on the same level and turned down, as
shown, inside, sosthat their discharge
will not disturb the mass of organ
isms at the surface of the tank con-
tents, and also so as to prevent the en-
trance of air to the tank or the return
Of sewage gas to the house. The tank
should be connected to the waste pipes
of the house by 4-inch sewer tile with
cemented joints. This inlet tile line
should have fall of not more nor less
that l inch per foot. The plumbing
of the house, of course, should be
modern in eyer respect, with the GUS
tomary traps and clean-outs. The out
let tile to dispose Of the waste water
of the tank should be ordinary drain
tile with about one-eighth inch spaces
left between the ends in laying them.
This drain tile should lead to ravine
or dry ditch where the waste water,
which is odorless and clean, can seep
away into the ground. A screen
should be placed over the exposed end
of the outlet to prevent the entrance
of small annals. Of course, if the
soil through which the outlet line is
run is sandy and porous, the waste
water will seep into the ground
through the joints of the tile within
one or two hundred feet, depending
upon the porosity Of the soil. In such
cases, the outlet into a ditch would
not be necessary.
Where an outlet ditch is not availa-
bic, the drain may lead into pre-
pared sand or gravel well at q dis
lance of two or three hundred feet
from the septic tank. The fall Of the
outlet tile should be about the same as
the inlet, one inch per foot, where
leading through very sandy soil. It
may be much less where the. soil is
beaver and seepage along the tile line
is not depended upon.
No strong antiseptics, such as
chloride of lime or carbolic acid,
should be allowed to enter the sewage
in other than very small quantities, as
they might destroy the organisms that
bring about decomposition. The scum
OF organisms on the surface Of the
sewage in the tank should not be dis
turbed. About once year 1.-The tank
should be examined and cleaned, If
necessary, but this seldom need be
done.
The materials required for building
the tank shown are: Gravel, q yards:
sand, ! yard; cement barrels; so
hire brick; sewer pipe and drain tile;
old lumber for forms. The cost Of ma
terial and labor ranges from $26 to $50.

.weIcome, Dnglishi~ they said
these words they had learned
from the traders
Touching at times on the coast, to
barter and chatter for peltries.
Then In their native tongue they be-
gan to parley with Standish.

man,
Begging for blankets and knives, but
mostly for muskets and powder.
Kept by the white man. they said.
concealed, with the plague, In his
cellars,
Ready to be let loose, and destroy his
brother, the red man!
But when Standish refused. and said
he would give them the Bible.
Suddenly changing their tone, they
began to boast and to buster.
Then Wattawamat advanced with a
stride in front Of the other,
And, with a lofty demeanor, thus
vauntingly spake to the Captain:
Nov. Wattawamat can see, by the
fiery eyes Of the Captain,
Angry Is he IN his heart; but the
heart of the brave Wattawamat,
Is not afraid at the sight. He was
not born of woman,
But on mountain, at night, from an
oak-tree rfven by lightning,
Forth he sprang at bound, with all
his weapons about him,
Shouting, Who is there here to light
with the brave Wattawamat?
Then he unsheathed his knife, and,
whetting the blade on his left
hand,
Held it aloft and displayed woman's
face on the handle,
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1911-11-17

Saying, with bitter expression and
look of sinister meaning: :
''T have another at home, with the
face Of a man on the handle;
BY and by they shall marry; and
there will be plenty Of children!"
Then stood Pecksuot forth, self
Wanting, insulting Miles Stand
ISL;
While with his fingers he patted the
knife that hung at his bosom,
Drawing 1t half from its sheath, and
plunging it back, as he muttered:
"By and by it shall see; it shall eat:
ali, ali! but shall speak not!
This Is the mighty Captain the white
men have sent to destroy us!
He is little man; let him go and
work with the women!"
Meanwhile Standish had noted the
faces and figures of Indians
Peeping and creeping about from
bush to tree in the forest,
Feigning to look for game, with ar
rows set on their bow-strings,
Drawing about him still closer and
closer the net Of their ambush.
But undaunted he stood, and dissem-
bled and treated them smoothly;
So the old chronicles say. that were

Smiling. at length he exclaimed to the
stalwart Captain OF Plymouth:
"Pecksuot Dragged very loud, OF his
courage. his strength and his
stature
Knocked the great Captain. and called
him little man; but see now
Big enough have you been to lay him
speechless before you'll"
Thus the first battle was fought
and won by the stalwart Miles
Standish.
When the tidings thereof were
brought to the village Of Ply
mouth,
And as q trophy Of war the head OF
the brave Wattawamat
Scowled fronh the roof Of the fort,
which at once was a church and q
g fortress.
All who beheld It re1oiced, and
praised the Lord, and took cour-
9 age,
Only Priscilla averted her face from
this specter of terror,
Thanking God In her heart that she
had not married Miles Standish;
Shrinking, fearing almost, lest COM
ing home from his battles,
He should lay claim to her hand, az
the prize and reward Of his valor.

The March of
Miles Stdndish

Meanwhile the stalwart Miles Stand
ish was marching steadily north
ward,
Winding through forest and swamp,
and along the trend of the sea-
shore,
All day long, with hardly a halt, the
fire of his anger
Burning and cracking within, and the
surphurous odor of powder
Seeming more sweet to his nostr1ls
than all the scents of the forest.
Silent and moody he went, and much
he revolved his discomfort;
He who was used to success, and to
easy victories always,
Thus to be fouted, rejected, and
laughed to scorn by maiden,
Thus to be Knocked and betrayed by
the friend whom most he had
trusted!
All! twas too much to be borne, and
he fretted and chafed in his
armor!
II alone am to blame" he muttered,
''for mine was the folly.
What has a rough old soldier, grown
grim and gray in the harness,
Used to the camp and It's ways, to do
with the wooing of maidens?
Twas but a dream,-let 1t pass,-let
it vanish like so many others!
What l thought was flower, Is only
a weed, and Is worthless;
Out OF my heart will pluck 1t, and
throw 1t away, and henceforward
Be but fighter Of battles. lover and
wooer Of dangers!"
Thus he revolved in his mind his
sorry defeat and discomfort,
While he was marching by day or ly-
ing at night In the forest,
Looking up at the trees and the con-
stellations beyond them.
After a three days march he came
to an Indian encampment
Pitched on the edge of a meadow, be-
tween the sea and the forest;
Women at work by the tents, and the
warriors, horrid with war-paint,
Seated about fire, and smoking and
talking together;

sudden approach Of the white
men,

Straight there arose from the forest
the awful sound of thewar-whoop,

Then came cloud Of smoke, and out
of the cloud came the lightning,
Out of the lightning, thunder, and

Frightened the savages fled for shelter
in swamp and in thicket,
Holly pursued and beset; but their

establishing percolation channels
which lead into the country ground

sources of domestic supply. Neither
cesspool nor dry well are feasible in
heavy clay sub-soils, yet in gravel
sub-soils they more quickly distribute
contamination to the country water.
Nor is the emptying of sewage into

Flower decorated hats are the rule
this season. and the flowers are applied
with such abundance that the cost of
the hats is far from being as encour-
aging as 1t should be. For instance.
the elegant white chip hat shown here
Is adorned with roses that so success
fully initiate the natural flowers that
they might well be mistaken for them.
The roses are Of pink tulle, which
gives them their peculiarly light and
airy appearance.
There is something very attractive
this season about the new millinery,
partly. no doubt, because the latest
shapes show so much variety and
partly also because the colorings which
are most in vogue are Of the daintiest
and most delightful description.
Various small blossoms. massed
closely together. will be employed to
cover entirely the high crowned and
narrow brimmed toques and hats,
which seem likely TO take the place Of
the extinguishers Of last season. Giant
violets in their own beautiful purple
coloring are being used for these floral
toques, intermingled with the same
flowers dyed In a vivid shade Of Grim
son.
The violet and crimson blossoms are
grouped together so that they cover
both crown and brim. while high on
one side there is frequently a tau
aigret of flowers.

OLD PATROL
STATION GOES

The patrol sergeants Of the VIII
mington Police Department abandoned
the old patrol station at Front and
French streets last evening. Ser
geant Howgate finished his duties
there at 5 o'clock and Sergeant Rice
reported about the same time for the
last time.
The patrol horses Elsie and Frank,
and King and Queen. we're led up to
the back door OF the old station and
hidden farewell. while Ofhcer Mich
ael Barr assisted by local talent
sang Farewell" The horses and old
patrol wagons were taken to Phila-
delphia today to be sold. One OF the
horses has been on duty for six years
and the other for four years.
The new auto" patrol is now hous-
ed at the police station equipped for
"hurry-up" calls. The lockers and
closets in the garage are being COM
pleted.
Officers Sherwin and Palmer win
operate the auto patrol.
During the farewell song service
at the old patrol station Sergeant
Rice was feeding his seven pet cats
on raw meat for the last time while
Sergeant Howgate was standing on
the back steps with glistening eyes
listening to the songs OF farewell and
taking his last look at the old wagonl
and the horses.
