Letters Wearing Away.

A GOOD many of the copper letters
\ which were used to spell out the
legends on the Albert Pike statue have
disappeared. This statue-monument
stands on a little hillock in the triangle
formed by Indiana avenue, Sd and D
streets. The handsome bronze figure
faces east and on the upper part of the
pinkish granite pedestal, not far below
the foot of the statue, is the name in
bronze letters of Albert Pike There
are legends or there were, on each of
the four faces of the monument at a
three stone steps that rise above the
grassy mound. AT the south and north
ends of the east face are the words
Author" and Poet" These are intact.
The inscription in the center of the east
face has been mutilated so that what is
left is q Els S-perstites Stunt
Frustus" The east and the west ends
of the north face are inscribed "Schol-
ar" and Soldier"
ters Of the word "Philanthropist" have
been broken off SO that the inscription
stands "Phila-t-ropist," and the re-
mainder of the lettering on the west
front is Erected by the S-preme
C-nc-l $50 A. A. S. r. of Freemasonry
for the S. J., U. S. A, 1901"
On the east and west ends of the
south face were two words. OF these,
only two letters remain and these. which
probably the remains of the word Pa
triot." The word at the east end of
the south face has been broken away.

Bakery wagons cover routes out OF
Washington that lead deep into the coun-
try. Many of these are motor wagons
that run twenty miles away from wash
ington in all directions besides supplying
stores that are far off the main roads.
The local trains going out Of Washing
ton carry the familiar big wooden bread
boxes, full going out, empty coming
home The steamboats, on the Potomac
plying that river and its numerous tribu-
taries carry down boxes Of bread and
bring back only. the bread boxes. At
every little creek landing as far down
as the Washington-Potomac boats go one
will see these bread boxes piled up
either inside or outside the little freight
house on the wharf. Perhaps on the ar
rival Of the boat, and it may be many
hours out from Washington. passengers
will note the wagons of country store
keepers, stores that may be miles back
in the country from the wharf. waiting
for the big boxes of bakers bread soon
to be sliced up on uncounted rustic
boards and widespread with much
praised and much overpraised country
butter.

The Old-Time Bread.

COUNTRY people are rapidly acquiring
- or have already acquired the habit of
eating bakers bread. 1t was only a few
years ago-when people that are middle
aged were boys and girls-that bakers
bread, or store bread. or manufactured
bread was spoken of in the country with
disdain. 1t was the boast of country
people that they ate homemade bread.
and with the country people in the region
aroung Washington it was the boast that
they ate hot bread three times day.
Breadmaking was almost continuous
performance in the kitchens of Maryland
and Virginia.
A remarkable change has come about
Either the professional baker has i'm
proved his product or the country house.
wife has lost her cunning, or it may be
that the purchase Of store bread involves
so little work and the baking Of home
bread involves SO much that the change
has come about because of this.
It Is question whether homemade
bread was always deserving of the praise
that has been heaped upon it. Some
homemade bread was and still is good
Some homemade bread was and still is
unfit to be eaten.
In this day every country store within
a wide radius Of Washington has a big
box for bakers bread. No matter how
small the country store, it sells bakers
bread over the counter. The country
store may be a long way back from the
arteries Of travel. but bakers bread may
be bought there. even though they are
yesterdays loaves, or loaveS of the day
before yesterday. Nearly all this bread
is baked in Washington, still. a good deal
of II has its making in Alexandria. Some
of the large villages neighboring to
Washington have bakeries and bakers
that help fill the needs of the dwellers

There is proposal that the govern

a road from the south end of the High

of Arlington to avoid the long detour by
way of the Washington-Alexan road,

Horses Instead of Autos.

THE surviving hitching posts and car
riage blocks are reminders of ~
time when the proudest Wash''
pie drove horses inst
good many hitchfr around
the city like Ion, AS. In front of
Allison Majors old home on 18th street
and Rhode Island avenue is horse
holder in the form of a little black boy
with an outstretched hand, and through
this hand the hitching reins of many
good horses have been passed.
The familiar style Of hitching post was
an iron rod about two and half feet
high, crowned by horse head. Two of
these old posts stand on the north side
of Pennsylvania avenue near 18th street,
one stands on Maryland avenue near Sth

street near l, one on East Capitol street
opposite the north front of the Library of
Congress and one on 18th street near r.
There is a horse-head post with two
hitching chains still standing on the
north side of H street a few yards west
of 14th, and another opposite the south
front of the Washington Public Library.
double-headed horse post stands on G
street, west of 18th street southeast, and
hitching post resembling the park posts
which supported the chains around gov
eminent reservations stands on 1 street
between 18th and 14th streets. On the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 22d and 23d there is a stone obelisk
fitted with iron rings which has been
used as hitching post since Washington
was a village
There are more of the plain iron-rod
hitching posts than the horse-head posts
One of these stands on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. little west Of the old Corcoran Art
Gallery building, another on the west side

1.-The process of cutting through tough
iron is wearing on a rope, and there IS
no way of telling how much manila and
other kinds of hemp has been worn out
in cutting the tops off those iron bars
"a towline is three-quarters of an inch
in diameter and they run from sixty to
seventy-five yards long. The average
towlne is about sixty-five yards long,
The towing company buys them by the
pound in large quantities and furnishes
them to the boatmen.
THE life of towline is about two
trips from Cumberland to Washington
Then it is an old. badly worn rope and
it will probably have some knots in It.
1t may be good enough for an upstream
trip; that is, from Washington to Cum
berland. because the boats usually go
back light Canal boatmen make it d
general rule to tow up stream with an
old line and to use their newest line for
the downstream trip. Yes, sir; 1t has
taken many ropes long time to cut
through those iron rods
