the poet for home site. Below 1t, at
the time, were acres of rough land.
and surrounding 1t on all sides were
irregular masses of trees of no partic-
ular kind or size. In recent years,
however, Washington has pushed it
self in that direction. Now, on three
sides of the structure some OF the
most beautiful and expensive homes
which the nation can boast have
arisen. When the million dollar
house for former Ambassador White
was erected in front of the little
cabin its grandeur Immediately dis
appeared.
The cabin was designed to harmon
ize with the wild ruggedness of the
land surrounding 1t. The moment
this ruggedness was toned down the
impressiveness of Miller's former
home was lost
The California State society which
has so conscientiously worked for
months to preserve the structure, de-
cided to remove the hut to Potomac
park. The society was assisted by
the California congressional delega-
ton. and the hundreds of friends of
the Poet of the Sierras."
Many are the tales handed down re-
garding the little cabin and its mas
ter. There are many Washingtonians
living who remember the visits made
to the $3.50 structure by famous liter
ary and financial men, actors and
actresses, and government officials of
that day. They still tell of how the
rugged poet still clinging to his
manner of dress adopted in his ear
lier days while prospecting for gold
in the far west, or leading a mass of
Indians against civilized post en-
tertained in his Meridian hill home.
Receptions were frequent. But the
guests understood that every recep-
tion was to be of the most informal
character Miss Maud Miller, the
actress, daughter of the poet assist.
ed her father in acting as host. But
nothing of the stage, with its glamor
and glitter, ever :ound its way into
the simple bttle home.
Miller spent several months in
London before coming to Washing
ton This practically was his first
public appearance" as literary
genius. He had been in the British
capital only a short time before all
England became interested in his
work. His poems apeared frequently
in the current publications and Eng.
land soon wanted to see the man who
was responsible for the work
The reception accorded him in Lon
don was repeated in Washington But
Miller never lost his earlier likes
those for simplicity and unaffected
ness Repeated efforts were made to
have the poet give up the little log
cabin and move to the fashionable
residential section of the city. But
these were of no avail. The veteran
builder. H. d. Benninger. who con-
structed the cabin 27 years ago, has
taken to pieces the logs and boards
which he nailed together and will
carefully transfer them to Potomac
Dark.

The cabin was about to be torn
down to make way for the sweep OF

of tearing it down began at once and

on the brow of Meridian hill, house
that cost scarcely $3.50, and erected
on ground that could be purchased at
almost any price.

was well fitted to its surroundings.

COOL WEATHER Is NO REASON
FOR BAKING BREAD AT HOME

There really isn't any economy in
baking at home, even if you don't
count your work. Flour, milk. yeast,
fuel and the waste when you have bad
luck counts up into more than it
would cost to buy your bread and then
there's your work besides.
If you bake because you don't like
bakers bread it's because you haven't
tried Weston Bread. It isn't at all like
the ordinary bakery bread you've
been used to. It's rich. solid and
creamy 1ike-welI DONE light and has
a nut-like flavor. The loaf slices with
out crum bling and it looks and tastes
like the bread you bake when you
have your luckiest days.
Weston Bread comes, "Oven-to-you"
in a waxed paper wrapper that's seal
ed at both ends.
Begin using Weston Bread on your
table today Every time you unwrap
a loaf, tear out the label in the CEN
ter OF the wrapper and lay to away.
Quicker than you'd imagine you will
have saved enough to get a nice piece
OF HaviIand china, community silver
or cut glass. We have a beautiful
assortment of high grade articles in

HAVE SOME CRISP BROWN BUT
TER ROLLS FOR DINNER

Butter rolls are made of raised
dough and shaped something like
cinnamon roll. In the bottom of the
pan in which they are baked we
spread a thick coating of fine sugar
and sweet. pure butter. Each chubby
roll of dough is then imbedded in this
rich base and they are put into the
oven. When baked until tho brown
glow appears, and they are done
through and through, they are taken
out and turned upside down. The
sugar and butter bakes right into the
roll and you can't imagine how deli
cious they are.
We bake a big batch every day. You
can buy a dozen fresh ones for dime
and you can be sure that none will go
to waste.

FRESH BROWN POTATO CHIPS
THAT CRACKLE WITH
CRTSPNESS

Potato chip making is big feat
ure with US. Enormous sales require
large scale methods and we have
equipped a special department with
the most modern machinery, especially
for making this delightful delicacy.
We get the best potatoes on the
market; remove the skins by a revolv-
ing, emery lined churn through which
runs a fresh clean stream of water;
slice each potato thin and uniform by
machinery; remove the starch and fry
in a huge copper kettle of boiling
cooking compound. When they are
cooked brown and crisp, every par
ticle of excess grease is strained away
and they are salted. This is the way
we produce the most delicious potato
chips in town. You'll find them al
ways fresh, here. They sell at 40c
per pound.

NEW KIND OF CRUELTY.
Arthur Entsminger Is Arrested for
Stringing Fish.

Arthur Entsminger, a veteran angler
of Silver Lake, was arrested last even
ing by Kilmaurs King, agent of the
Foster Humane society, for stringing
fish, and the friend of the beast and
Chief of Police Jenkins were found at
variance on the subject of cruelty al
most Immediately.
The theory of evolution finds the
plscatoria1 stage rather early in the
climb of life and beings pisciform are
accredited with little intelligence and
small knowledge of sensation. Their
evasion of the hook is considered to
be inspired rather by the odium of
captivity than by fear of pain, all of
which is diagnosed as instinct.
This is the view taken by the chief
Of police, whether by scientific re-
search or by personal experiences with
the pisces dating from early boyhood.
The chief, be it known, still is some
thing of a fisherman, and has angled
a little with Entsminger, an old friend
of his, in the piscina at Silver Lake.
But Kilmaurs King, as the befriender
of all life, would feel a twang on his
heart strings at the kicking of a jelly
fish, On the other hand, he takes as
much interest in the woes of human
beings and exercises his kindliness
over all creatures under the flag of
his society. Therefore, when Ensmin-
ger, unmindful of the outraged
nerves of his fishes, hauled his catch
to Topeka and was selling them alive
from MS wagon ana SlTInSluS ln0In Dy
the gills on a wire for his customers,
King was hurt. He stopped the mar
ket in a hurry and brought the fisher
man to the city prison to answer for
his cruelty.
There, Jenkins, having the last word
in the argument, released the prisoner,
thereby lending his influence to fisher
men to continue their business in the
good old fashioned way.
Some day, Mr.. King may see a lob
ster boiled. Will he expire?
