SUNDAY MANNERS OF CROWS
Sets That Day Apart for General Pill
lage and Marauding and G!oats
Over Helpless Victims.

Did you ever hear how the Scotch
crow Observes the Sabbath? 1t is no
accommodating to hear elderly peo-
pie bors Scotland say he is as wise
as a Ncrow." To the uninitiated
this N mot imply very great de-
gree 81 sdom, for the crow is not
generally given credit for being Sol
ONION in his day and generation. That
is, an American crow is not. but his
Scotch brother MAY have superior
intellect At any rate, old Scotch
people think so, for to them this OBJ
servance of Sunday is an evidence of
great sagacity Unfortunately. how
ever, crows idea of the sanctity OF
the day does not agree with that of
his human foe He remorselessly sets
that day apart as season for pillage
and general marauding. and boldly
gloats over his helpless victims. Du-
ring the week he discreetly keeps
within the shelter of the woods. but
on Sunday morning when he hears the
church bells ringing and observes the
deserted condition of the fields. he
knows that his time has come and he
unceremoniouslV pre-empts these
fields for himself. and wantonly feasts
and forages in the few hours that are
his, for he well understands that an
other week of fasting is at hand. Such
being the Scotch crows reputation he
is hardly a safe model. notwithstand-

THE question of a 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 undembcTatic, 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 a large
force of soldiery as to lend too much
OF g military air to the White House,
1t was pointed out. Col John McEl-
roy, q 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
city to the White House, but would
tend to provide rewards for men who
have served the nation creditably in

Navy in Fight for a Wooden Indian

tsTHE authorities of the state OF Della
Are have communicated to the navy
department request that the wooden
statue of Tecumseh, Indian chief,
which formed the fgurehead Of the
Old ship. of the line Delaware, be turn
ed over to them, but the officers who
have graduated from the naval acad-
envy, where the figure of the old brave
Is now, are not likely to permit its re
moyal without vigorous protest.
Not only is the feeling general that
the naval academy is the proper loca-
tion 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
Cts removal almost out of the Ques-
ton
Brought to Annapolis shortly after
the return of the academy from New
port 10 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
dsubed 1t The God of 2.5. the figure
being that which It is necessary to OBJ
tain In order to pass an examination

How Two Department Heads Compromised

Wiley and Moore were talking to a

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

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 I'M
democratic.
Il 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. 1T would be a
splendid idea. Many of the nations
of Europe have such a plan, and 1t
always has worked admirably. This
is work for retired soldiers who
have not outlived their usefulness,
which should be advocated by al pat
riotic persons. 1t would be excellent
to have men in soldier uniform guard
ing both the inside and the outside OF
the executive mansion.
With the continued growth of the
city. it 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-
lished, 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 po-
lice force would be made more eff.
cient.
