WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Lon
don underwriters of the British steam
er Wyvisbrook sought the privilege of
awarding a purse to the officers and
crew of the revenue cutters Onondaga
and Yamacraw for their efficient serv-
ices in floating the Wyvisbrook when
she stranded off Cape Fear, Va, in
June last.
The money, however was declined
by Sherman Allen, acting secretary of
the treasury, who wrote:
THE department is gratified to re-
ceive recognition of the efficiency of
its vessels, but the personnel of the
service is thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of its work for the relief of those
in distress, and the department, does
not view with favor the acceptance
of gratuities for acts performed in the
line of duty"

MIDDIES MUST USE
THEIR OWN RAZORS NOW

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 11-Naval
Academy authorities have boycotted
Annapolis barber shops.
In accordance with the regulations
governing the student body of mid
shipmen, which has been undergoing
a thorough course of revision by Super
intendent Gibbons during the last sew
eral weeks, it develops that midshir-
men will in the future be absol Lely
prohibited from visiting the city shops,
either to have their hair cut Or boards
shaved from their faces.
That such an edict had been placed
in force was noted by the proprietors of
several tonsorial saloons last Satur-
day. That is the only day in the week
that the majority of the mi lshipmen
are allowed liberty privileges to visit
in the. city, and not one of the students
was seen in any of the shops. Former

SQUIRRELS AT WHITE
HOUSE ARE VERY TAME

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE squir-
rels in the White House grounds are
getting so tame that persons having
business in that part of Washington
are expecting to see them do most any
thing that any well domesticated ami
NAL might do. They run across the
presidents front porch whenever they
feel like it, paying no attention to the
policeman there, burrow around the
presidents geraniums, play with each
other about the drives, feed out of the
hands of well-disposed persons. and on
the whole seem to enjoy life much
more than any other living thing in
the vicinity.
Their latest stunt is to climb the iron
electric light poles and sit on top of

College May Lose Gifts.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Nov. 11.-Dr. j.
H. George, president of Drury college,
has returned from weeks stay in
st. Louis and Chicago.
President George conferred with var
ious friends of the local college who
are interested in the endowment fund
of the institution. Unless an extension
is given the college. considerable por-
ton of the $240,000 subscribed toward a
$500 900 endowment fund will be nolled
January /, when the time limit for
raising the total amount expires.
Many of the gifts made to the college
in connection with the campaign to
raise a 100000 endowment fund Were
on condition that the full amount be
subscribed by January l.
This means an earnest campaign
from now on, and DR.. George spent the
week comforting with men in ST. Louis
and Chicago as to the best methods
for pursuing the task this winter.

some of the BARRIERS in midshipmen
trade.
No specific reason is given by the
authorities for the rigid regulations
that are now effective. There has al
ways been provision that midship
men should provide themselves with
rl-zors and shave themselves, but no
effort was made to enforce it until
recently. 1t is believed however, that
the death of Midshipman Julian B.
Bishop of New York several months
ago of blood poisoning had something
to do with the step taken.
Young Bishop, it was said, contracted
the dread malady by an infected wound
on the face, the result of saving 1t
was admitted that he frequently shaved
himself, and while the source OF the
infection was not definitely traced. it
is known that a medical officer at the
academy conducted an inspection of To-
cal barber shops.

Recently a big fat squirrel got on
top of an electric light pole and made
a great noise as if in distress. A
group of onlookers made bets as to
what was the trouble. Some sugges

how could a perfectly good looking po-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-There's a
good-looking policeman on duty at the
White House who is very popular with
newly-married couples. The cause of
his popularity is as follows. Most of
these couples come armed with kodaks
and comeras and snapshot everything
in the grounds, from the fountains to
the immaculate columns that adorn the
front and rear of the Executive man
sion. 1t generally occurs to the BRIDE
groom to get snapshot of the bride
directly in front of the mansion. When

while he was putting the nickel in the

denied that he had taken any money

Judge Price told the defendant that
if his prayer was no better than his

fine of $50 was imposed, and in default
of payment Bernard was taken to the

WOULD SOLVE
LADoR PRoBLEm

1A0OW VWOW6EWl
While in Grand Forks recently,
Director Thomas Cooper of the
Better Farming association, sug-
gested that the labor problem in
North Dakota, which arises with
the coming of every harvest seas
on, could be solved by running
special trains from the large east
ern cities with reduced fare. Mr..
Cooper emphasized the fact that
in the past securing labor to han
die the crop has been haphaz-
arded affair. At times there have
been too many in the state while
the season Just past saw short
age. The twin cities and Chica-
go, according to Mr.. Cooper, have
been depended upon to furnish the
big labor supply and have not
been able to do it. To secure
men from further east it will be
necessary to run special trains
and get very low rates. 1t is ex-
pected that the proposition will
be taken up with the railroads
and some plan devised that will
give North Dakota farmers all the
help they need.

WHY CALLED "BLAcK MARIA
Boston Negroes Of Colonial Tlmes Re
sponsible for Designation Of
Police Patrol Wagon.

A terror to evildoers was the real
original Black Maria, and quite az
useful in helping to keep the peace az
the black maria Of today. Black Maria
lived In Boston and in Colonial times.
She was q gigantic negress, named
Marie Lee, and she was mistress Of q
sailors boarding house down near the
wharves.
Sailors came to her from all over
the world. They were often q wild.
rough set, but they never gave Maria
any trouble. for her huge size was we'll
balanced by her prodigious strength.
1t Is told that she once brought three
drunken sailors at once to the lookup
when they had grown too obstreperous
to be kept longer In the house.
The fame Of Maria's strength grew,
20 that she became Of great assistance
to the authorities. for when men got
to be violent or quarrelsome Black
Maria was sent for and soon reduced
the unruly to obedience. In time her
reputation spread all over Boston, and
the lawless element grew 20 afraid Of
her that often the threat Of sending
for Black Maria was enough to quell
the worst cases Of naturalization.
Few people know Of Black Maria
lee ~ the boarding house keeper Of
Colonial days, but she handed her
name down a. menace to the vicious
Of future generations. In the modern
jail wagon. To send for the black
maria" is a. much Of q threat now q
