STATESMEN, REAL AND NEAR.

Chief wiIkie Of the United States Sc
cret Service, tells another OF Detective
William j. Burns practical jokes.
II seems that Burns was going from
New York to Boston by boat. He shared
stateroom with a young man whose
talk betrayed that he had never before
Travelled by water. Burns prepared for
bed and when he had put on his pa
jamas reached casually for one Of the
big circular life preseryeTs that hung on
the wall, and slipped II over his head
In business-like, I-always-do-this man
ner.
'whatchu doin'?'' Burns bunkmate
hastened to inquire.
what am ] doinE?" repeated Burns.
Didn't YOU near those two bells a min
ute ago? That was the signal for every
body to put on life preseryers. It's go
ing to be a dark and stormy night. and
it's already past the regular time TO put
'em on"
You don't mean to say we have to
put those things on and keep 'em on all
night?''
''oh. no. you don't have to. Of course. -
admitted Burns. There's no way Of
making you do II. But the boat COM
pany's given yoT the signal TO be pre-
pared for any emergency, and II any
thing happens now and you haven't your
life preserver on. they won't he respOr-
sible for you. that's all Well they II
fnd me ready, you bet. Goodnight"
And Burns Crawled into his bunk with
the big ring around his shoulders. As
soon as ne was settled in his berth. he
took the thing off and went on to sleep.
But his joke victim tossed about rest
lessly through the long hours OF the
night.
The next morning Burns put the life
preserver on. leaped lightly from his
berth. took the big ring of again, and
inquired breezily: ''Well, how duh
sIeep?"
Not a blamed wink" replied the other
man sadly. Never put in such a night
in my life. How could ] sleep with
that big sawdust ring around my waist
''Oh, l plumb forgot to tell you." said
Burns, that II you couldn't sleep. IT'S
permissible to take 'em of after mid
night"
A workman called at the home OF
President Taft's Brother Charlie, in
Cincinnati. to perform some odd job, and
he paused to note some of the priceless
paintings in Brother Charles private
gallery. He was attracted TO a small
original Van Dyke and moved up closer
to get better look.
''Ah." he exclaimed, I've got that
same thing down home. Yes. it's exactly
like that. My wife got it some place
here in town. Are they worth much?"
THAT one is worth $500 he was
told.

Enforcing the City Plan.

1t has been well said that Wash
ington is the only city in the United
States, perhaps in the world, that was
ever laid out at the very start on a
regular plan. Those who have had
much experience in finding their way
about in other strange cities can well
appreciate the truth of this when they
compare the irregularity of the older
parts of these cities with that of Wash
ington. Without being odious by way
of comparison, Boston, downtown in
New York, and parts of even young
Chicago may be cited.
. In tracing the growth of these older
cities, the evolution from the cross
roads stores and settlements may be
seen in the crooked topography of many
Of them, and even the tradition regard
ing the cowpaths in the pastures being
followed as roads and then as streets
finds ready belief by some strangers
who get lost" in the devious ways.
The next noticeable feature about the
other cities is that as they grow larger
there develops a well-defned and or
derby plan of arrangement in the sub
urbs. So that there is nearly all of
them an older part that is irregular in
plan beyond belief, while the newer
parts are as geometrically regular as
could well be desired.
Now, just the reverse of this condi-
ton obtains in the plan of the city of
Washington. L'Enfaut and his allies
laid the city out we'll at the start, and
his successors who took large part in
building up the city adhered TO the
plan with commendable fidelity. But
out in the newer parts of Washing
aon, in the many populous suburbs of
the city, this plan, if it ever considered
these remoter regions, has been bland
Iy ignored, and there is to, be found
an utter disregard of any uniform plan.
So that we see carefully adhered to
plan in the old part of Washington,
which results in going far to lay the
foundations of that "City Beautiful
TO which We all justly aspire, while
surrounding it in nearly all directions
lie the patchwork of streets, lanes, and
cul-de-sacs to which Secretary Mac
Vesgh so pointedly called attention re-
Gently.
There lies the work for the High
way Department of our District gov
ernment. 1t is by no means hard to
extend the PEnfant plan to the outlying
suburbs, just as insistently and uni
formly as it has been worked out in
parts of the city where it had not been
developed on paper. The Commission
ers control the highway matter, and
have all to say about the laying out of
the new parts of the District. If they
have provided laws for the admins
tration Of that aspect of city planning,
let those laws be strictly adhered to
in all cases. Let them go even so far
as to make crooked roads straight and
the rough places smooth. II there are
not adequate provisions for this, by

DIR. Frank E Wilson, member Of the
House from Brooklyn, came across a
pair of last years tan oxfords the last
time he was home, that seemed plenty
good enough to run half through an

half-soles could be grated on.
He took the shoes to cobbIer for ex-
pert opinion. The cobbler looked them
over. pointed out a couple Of breaks in
the uppers that the doctor had over
looked and said that while he'd be glad
to have the Job, he didn't think It would
be worth while to put on the new run

he was right.

fellow.

Didn't ! just agree with you that they
weren't worth fixing up?''
Yes" said the proprietor Of the little

half or two years ago, and tell me
there wasn't anything wrong with me?
And didn't you charge me for telling
me? Didn't you:''
