HOW SENATOR GOT START
Nixon Of Nevada Found a Fat Pocket
book and Sent II to
Owner.

Senator Nixon of Nevada, who died
the other day in Washington, got his
first start In life through returning a
lost pocketbook The facts were re
lated by California congressman
who knew the senator from boyhood
According to the story, Nixon grew
up in comparative poverty on an UNI
productive farm In Placer county, Cal
ifornia. There was not much work to
do on the farm, and the boy spent
much of his time at the railroad sta
ton at New Castle, Cal
One night after the overland limited
had passed, Nixon found fat pocket
book on the station platform. 1t con.
tanned papers and several hundred
dollars in money.
He sent the pocketbook intact TO the
address given in the wallet The own.
err was a Chicago banker, who was
travelling east with a party of flnan-
ciers. Later this group of men started
bank at Reno, New, and the appre-
ciative owner of the pocketbook sent
for Nixon and made him cashier
One day George Wingfield of Reno
came to the bank with diamond
ring which he wanted to pledge for a
loan of 500 The assistant cashier OF
the bank refused the loan, but Nixon,
who overheard the negotiations, called
Wingfield In and gave him the money
From that time Wingfield was firm
friend of Nixon's and gave him many
valuable tips on Nevada mining prop
erty.

There were many departures from
Washington during the first warm
days this season. and the migration OF
diplomats which is usually one of the
first signs of summer was toward Eu-

ton of any American resorts. Among
those who have departed for the 9TH

and Mrs. Klienlin.
Mrs. Klienlin Is a very striking type
OF European beauty, and although she
and her husband have just spent their
hrst winter in the American capital,
they are well known in society and
are noted for the number and elab-
orateness of their Inequalities. She
possesses wonderful wardrobe OF inn
ported gowns and is considered one
of the best-dressed women In the
diplomatic set.
Other members of the same set who
have gone abroad are: The military
attache of the French embassy and

building OF
edihces.

eQlnCeS.
Every year or two the monument
does something to draw attention to
1t. For instance, a freak story was
circulated about the shaft year ago
to the effect that its material was rot
ting. This libel gained the most ex-
tensive credence. Stories were printed
by practically every newspaper In the
country and photographs of decaying
blocks were shown. 1t was claimed
by some geologist that the poor quail
ity of material with which the walls
OF the monument are filled was going
to bring about the destruction Of the
building. He claimed that this filler
was rottirg anl causing the decay OF
the outer walls. He went so far as to
point out the deeayed places. There
was vast deal of newspaper talk
about the matter, but after while
the story was forgotten, laid on the
shelf with all the other freak tales.
The monument still stands.
Then when Charlie Street, a base
ball player, wanted to prove how clev-
er he was on catching the emblem of
his profession he picked out the WasG-
ington monument as the proper struc-
ture to immortalize his achievement
Street sent confederate to the top
of the monument and had him toss a
baseball out one of the windows 500
feet in the air. He caught the ball
and the old monument again enjoyed
a short season of publicity.
At still remoter period somebody
chose the Washington monument as
the only proper medium to test the
truth of the saying that cat has nine
lives. A feline in the prime of life
was selected for the test, taken to the
top of the shaft and dropped from
one of the windows. The cat followed
the lines of the structure all the way
to the ground. On alighting it got to
its feet, walked few steps and laid
down and expired. It's back was brok-

These are instances of what sort of
anecdote the Washington monument is
piling up as adjuncts to the story of
its life, and there are older stories

The obelisk itself was built in two

pope of Rome and later lost. This
was a tremendous block weighing
ton or more which was to have been
inserted In very prominent place.
The stone was posed there for some
time. What became OF 1t is a mystery.
The pope sent no other block.
