Military Guard Urged for White House

war. The veterans would be looked up to with respect, he said, and no one could claim that they were un democratic.
 'T can think of no greater induce ment which could be offered to men to enter the army than the thought that some day they might be detailed in Washington as a guard of honor to the president of the republic" said Colonel McElroy. Tt would be . Eplendid idea. Many of the nationa of Europe have such a plan, and M always has worked admirably. Thia is a work for retired soldiers who have not outlived their usefulness which should be advocated by all pat riotic persons. It would be excellent to have men in soldier uniform guard ing both the inside and the outside ol the executive mansion.
 With the continued growth of tho city, 1t is said, all policemen will have to be recalled from detail work, or the force will have to be increased Should the military guard be estab- hshed, they argue, the country would not be put to any additional expense, the presence of the soldiers at the White House would add to the dignity of the place, and the Washington DO lice force would be made more efn' cient.

Navy in Fight for a Wooden Indian

THE authorities of the state of Della kIre have communicated to the navy department request that the wooden statue of, Tecumseh, Indian chief, which formed the hgurehead of the old ship of the line Delaware, be turn ed over to them, but the officers who have graduated from the naval acad- emy, where the figure of the old brave is now, are not likely to permit its re- moval without vigorous protest.
 Not only is the feeling general that the naval academy is the proper loca- ton for as many of the relics of the old navy as can be secured, but the peculiar position of old Tecumseh in the traditions of the academy make its removal almost out of the ques- ton.
 Brought to Annapolis shortly after the return of the academy from New port, to which 1t was transferred dur ing the Civil war, and set up in a prominent place between the old sea manship building and the department of ordnance and gunnery. the mid shipmen almost at once raised the statue to the position of an idol, and daubed 1t "The God of 2.5," the figure being that which it is necessary to ob- tain in order to pass an examination It the academy.
The Holbrook news., 1912-04-12

Officers now grown gray remember when they prostrated themselves be fore the fine old relic of the bygone wooden navy, and are even now will ing to give it the successful passage of examinations which were necessary to them in order to hold their place in the service. The custom has been faithfully observed during half cen tury of the academy's existence.
 The authorities of the academy are now securing data about the history of Tecumseh, the means by which it reached the academy and the place it occupies in the tradition of the insti- tuition. There is no doubt that when tt becomes generally known in the RNYy that a move is on foot to tear the old god of a passing mark from the surroundings in which it has be- come a tradition, a protest will reach the department which will make 1t i'm possible to remove it to 8 less fa- miliar Location.

otter Naked Mueh rroubIe.

One of the otters at the London FOG has discovered how to escape from the pond. He chambers up the fence, jumping in an astonishing fashion. Various alterations in the fence have been made, but hitherto all efforts to keep him prisoner have been bafned by his ingenuity. The otter is tame, and has always been caught again after escaping. Once he came back and climbed into the pond of his own accord. He generally makes for the Regents park canal, but. failing ap- parently to find fish worth the catch ing therein, invades the streets oa Camden town, and is reported to the society as an escaped wild animal, kangaroo" being one of the many designations given to help the of1- ciak to identify him.

How Two Department Heads Compromised

nR. WILEY, the pure fooder, and O Willis L. Moore, the boss weather man, are great cronies. They are drawn together by the fact that each is a daily victim of amateur testers and sidewalk merry-makers who per sist in cracking the same old jokes about the weather or things to eat.
 Wiley and Moore were talking to a couple of friends the other day and somebody suggested dinner. Wiley said he would be in for it, and Moore said he would. So it was arranged that the dinner should be held at the Cosmos club the next night
 When the guests arrived, Moore, be- lieving himself the host, indicated the way to table where the feast he had ordered was to be spread.
 "But the dinners to be served at this table over here" said Wiley, pointing to another end of the dining room.

TOO MUCH FOR THE TEACHER
Professor, Who Accompanied His Wife on Shopping Trip, Runs Up
 Against Hard Problem.

.f- < T H-Fn n
 One day teacher of mathematics went shopping with his wife. He tagged along listlessly from counter to counter until they came to the dress-trimmings department, and there he found something in his line. Said his wife to the saleswoman:
 "How wide is that gold-spangled black crepe?"
 "Three-eighths of a yard," said the girl.
 "How much is it a yard?"
 Three dollars
 ''Well," said the professors wife, 'how much of three-eighths-wide ma terial will it take to put four six-inch strips around a two-and-three-Quart yard skirt that is seven inches mar rover at the knees than 1t is at the bottom, and how much will it cost ?''
 At the first mention of those figures the professors head began to reel, and it reeled still more when his wife and the girl got out pencils and paper and began to do their sum. Presently his wife sa:a.
 Here, dear, you know all about mathematics. Help us solve this prob lem, won't you?"
 But the professor said: Excuse me. I feel faint must get little fresh air." and ignominiously fled.
 His wife came home with exactly the right amount of material, and she didn't pay a cent too much.-New York Times.

 Day long she sits in St. Roses Industrial school, where many wom- en of wealth and culture known in official and diplomatic Washington circles come to be fitted with gowns which rival those of a Paquin and which are the product of Sister Clara's creative genius.
 No fashionable atelier can boast of a more distinguished patronage than can the little room where Sister Clara meets her clients.

THE question of military guard for
 ! the White House is occasioning much discussion, both among people who think soldiers should be detailed there and among others who oppose that plan. Adherents to the plan for a military guard had to combat the objection of others that this would be undemocratic, but they pointed out that the president of practically every republic in the world Is guarded against danger by soldiers. It would not be necessary to have such large force of soldiery as to lend too much of a military air to the White House, 1t was pointed out. Col. John McEl- roy, a prominent G. A. R. man, pro- posed that the presidents guard be selected from among honorably dis charged soldiers. Such a plan, he said, not only would lend proper dig nifty to the White House, but would tend to provide rewards for men who have served the nation creditably in

Old Heine suspected the truth in Boles- laws case.
