Woodward made a vigorous appeal to
the Normal students TO help make Wash
ingtOn city beautiful
Washington IS a beautiful city to-
day" said Mr.. Woodward by reason Of
the foresight of the greatest American in
laying out the city in sucl lines that
each succeeding generation only adds to
its beauty. BY the planting of trees bv
the school children we hope to make them
realize a closer personal interest in our
great city and to help make il a city
beautiful by feeling that they have a
part in the transformation. and thus tend
TO make them better citizens
To further the Arbor Day movement

SAD JEREMIAH IN TOWN
WITH CHEWED-UP MONEY
Roll of Bills Macerated by Hog on Kansas Farm
Brought to Capital for Redemption Yet
Buy Auto and Dress for Wife.

I" the roll, and in a few seconds rolled
his eyes up at his master, thankfulness
showing In every glance. The end of a
500 bill hung from one of his tusks
The vision of the vanished automobile
came to jeremiah when he saw that mu-
tilated bill hanging from the hogs snout
No college sprinter ever equaled his rec
ord run to the house for a killing knife
The hog gave prolonged shrek, and the
search for the bills was made by Jere-
miah. No macerating machine in the
Treasury Department could have done a
better job than that hog.
Customary Smile Gone.
That is why jeremiah is in Washington
without his customary smile. He is maxi
ing strenuous endeavors to have the
money redeemed, and II he is able to
furnish sufficient PROOF OF the loss Of the
bills he may yet have the automobile and
make a present of calico dress to his
wife and finish the decorations on the
old farmhouse.
This is the first instance Of hog cat
ing money ever brought to the Treasury
Department. Dogs, cows, calves, and
other four-footed animals have eaten
money, but the hog adds to the list of
money consumers known to the Redemp-
tion Bureau

Robert Hughes, crossing policeman,
saw the predicament of the daring man
and telephoned to Fire Marshal Nichol-
son. Truck No. 4 was hurried to the
scene and ladders were raised. a rope
was passed to the steepietack. and il
was while he was descending that his
life was in jeopardy. While manipulat-
ing the rope. he slipped and fell ten feet,
striking slanting roof. and was slid
ing to the. edge when he was grabbed
by Fireman Farrell.
The force OF his fall was stopped by
the tugging of the fireman, WHO held on
to Brown and slid with him. A nearby
ladder saved them both. The men
reached for the spokes, and when just
on the brink of a 100-foot fall managed
to pull themselves back.
Brown, who is from Baltimore, had
contracted to gild the cross on the top
of the steeple. He got his rigging in
shApe and had made a temporary seat.
While engaged in placing permanent
seat, the ropes became tangled and he
found himself in a hopeless position
Brown admitted after he was safe on
the ground that he was too nervous to
finish the job yesterday. but said he
would try his luck to-day

Somewhere in Washington there Is
sad little man who owns farm near
CuffeyvilIe, Kans. jeremiah Quinn Is
sad for many reasons. A roll OF biiis,
legal tender for s2,7OO; hungry hog, and
a long trip across country are some Oh
the reasons for the lack Of gayety IN
Jeremiah's life.
1t was only a week ago that Jeremiah
was a happy man. But that was before
the episode which placed blight on his
happiness. He had planned to buy an
automobile and a new calico dress for
his wife. and with what was left over
from his savings he would pay for deco
rations on the farmhouse.
Careless of jeremiah.
II was careless of Jeremiah to carry
the roll of s., 100 in his hip pocket, and
especially when he went to feed the pigs.
Fate was against him. in stopping over
for a pail of milk and bran. his special
fattener for the porkers, the roll Of
bills dropped from his. pocket before a
big hog. whose doom was to have been
scaled the next week.
The hog was not to blame. He thought
the greenbaeks were some delicate greens

Mr.. Smith, who was unmarried, was a
prosperous coffee merchant of the Mis-

Lcen ailing and was advised to try a

hopes that he would recover his health.

ington for treatment by Col. Crosby.
That Mr. Smith was mentally deranGed
and was not entirely responsible was
learned at the Soldiers Homo by friends,
who said he was closely watched most
OF the time.
Whether he accidentally fell into the
water and was unable to get out. or in a
fit of mental alteration he deliberately
ended his life, was not aSCcrtained. The
police are inclined to believe that Mr..
Smith. who was fOrty-fivc years of age
was wandering around the grounds in
a semi-Conscious state. and probably
slipped and fell into tie lake.

Col Crosby made no statement of the
affair last night. He had been giving

arrival in Washington, ten days ago.

but not a trace OF the missing man could
be discovered. 1t was believed at first
that he had probably come to Washing
ton and was staying at a hotel.
That he might have fallen into the lake
was finally suggested, and acting on that
theory Col. Crosby sent for the harbor
police to drag the bottom. After nearly
two hours, in which the big graphing
hooks were dragged continually back and
forth, they caught in the clothing of a
body, which was moored to the bed of
the lake by cIinging weeds.
When brought to the surface and eX-
amined there was no trace of violence
to be found. which led the authorities
to believe that Mr.. Smith had either COM
mitted suicide or had accidentally fallen
in.

ANCIENT THEATERS BEST.
Prof. Charles Harris Declares The.
Elevated Race.

The thcatcrs of ancient Greece d-L
more 10 mold the peoples character than
the religions of to-day" was one Of the
statements of Prof Charles Harris, of
Harvard University, in an address last
night before tho Archaeological Society
at the home of Mrs. r. b. Moran, 2313
MaSsa chUsetts avenue.
THE old Greek theatcrS had an up
lifting effect on the race. while those of
to-day have deteriorated," said Prof.
Harris. The play of to-day is ephem-
eral. Once seen, it is forgotten. The
old. Greek drama came to stay in the
minds of the people, and led them to
better things"
Prof Harris intimated that the degen-
eracy of the modern stage was due to
the presence of women in the feminine
roles, contrary to the old Greek custom,
where men acted the womens parts.
