After we had come to a tacit recog-
milton of the fact that was her beau"
the Girl one evening said:
How much do you pay weekly TO,

me once a week. You live only a mile

two, smoke one By smoking slowly
and not all at once one will last you
just as long as two and you can give
me the ten cents difference. Then you
ride both ways to business, don't you?
Well l won't ask you to walk home
when you are tired, but rise little
earlier and walk down. 1t will do you
good and you can give me the thirty
cents week that that you'll save.
What do you spend for your luncn-

Catherine had a basket over her arm
and in the basket was a chicken and
some eggs. The chicken got out of the
basket and ran across the Avenue Cath

ran after it just as fast as she could
while several score of people looked on
and smiled. She was just reaching for
the fowl when the horse almost ran over
her.

a crowd quickly gathered. A policeman

MARCH TO ROAR AS It
GOES OUT LIKE A LION
Severe Storms Predicted for
Entire Country, With High
Winds Here.

ne ancient weather maxim in regard
to March coming in like lamb and
going out like lion,' or vice versa
appears to. be in fair way to make
good. The first day of March was a
springlike day, the month coming in
after the fashion of a somewhat frolic-
some lamb: and the weather bureau last
night issued a bulletin that, If its predic-
tions are fulfilled, will send the month
out in the semblance of a roaring lion.
General and severe storms are predict
ed for the entire country, with cold
waves in the northwest, heavy rains in
other parts of the country. floods and
great lakes.
Storm From Texas Coming.
The storm that laid waste the middle
west last Sunday is rapidly making its
way down the valley of the ST. Lawrence
today, having been central over the great
lakes yesterday. 1t is being followed,
however. by another storm of great Sc
verify that has already appeared in
Texas and is pushing toward the north
east at a rapid rate.
In spite of the abnormally high temper
atures that exist throughout the east and
south. the northwest, as far east as the
Dakotas, is in the grip of cold wave of
unusual severity for this time of the
year. Heavy rains in the middle west have
sent the Illinois river out of lis banks
along its entire length. while the San
dusky river, in Ohio, was last night re-
ported bank full and rising rapidly The
influence of the rains has not yet been
felt along the Wabash, the Ohio or the
Mississippi rivers, but a continuation of
the heavy precipitation, predicted by the
weather bureau, will speedily bring flood
stages to these streams.
All along the New England coast west
erly gales will rage during the remain
der Of the week. In this locality high
winds, approaching the velocity of gales
and coming from the southwest, are pre-
dicted, while along the south Atlantic
coast there will be southerly gales.

A cablegram sent from Picking, China

lecture on The New Chfvalry." by Dr.
Wilbur F. Crafts of Washington. super
intendent Of the international reform
bureau. by whose oriental secretary, Rev.
E. w. Thwing, it had been sent. follow
ing an appeal of the Chinese government,
a few days ago, against efforts of the
British opium trust and the international
banking trust to compel China, by diplo-
matte torture, to buy forty million dol
lars worth of opium, that had been i'm
ported into China for speculative sales,
which had failed to materialize because
of China's faithful enforcement of it's
prohibition of the retail traffic. The ca
! blegram reads as follows:
British and American missionaries at
public meeting today urged Chinese gov
eminent to take firm stand against
opium stocks, and appealed to the Brit
ish parliament and world opinion to free
China Immediately from opium importa-
tions. Chinese appeal for an interna-
tional subscription by which opium stocks
can be bought and destroyed. and the re-
public saved from danger to life and hap
piness of the nation. Widely publish this
appeal
The meeting here petitioned President
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan to cable the protest of the United
States against any further interference
by foreigners with China's police resula-
tions and also petitioned Andrew Car
negie to offer for opium stocks their
price before China's prohibition of native
opium enhanced their value, on condition
that the Chinese government shall pub
licly destroy them and all governments
concerned shall agree to total prohibition
of opium importation.
A petition also was sent to The Hague
interna tional opium conference. which is
to convene in May, TO adopt worldwide
prohibition of opium save as guarded
medicine, to take effect soon; and a petit
ton to the special session of Congress
was adopted urging, as a part or the
tariff legislation, an interstate opium law,
similar to the interstate liquor law. Such
a law. it was stated, the State Depart
ment will recommend for that purpose.

efforts Of the man in charge to keep it
open.

about 200 feet astern Of the tug, could
not check her Roadway. and into the
bridge she went. bows on. She lost bow
spirit and other headgear. and the bridge

FALSE ALARMS OF FIRE.
Two Are Mere Fakes, Another
Caused by Smoke ONLY.

Firemen were called at an early hour
this morning for an alarm from 7th and
F streets northwest. When the fire ap-
paratus of four companies arrived at the
place it was found to be false alarm.
About one hour later another call was
sent in. This time the alarm came from
10th street and Rhode Island avenue
northwest. 1t also proved to be false.
The police of the second and eighth
precincts are investigating, hoping to find
the person or persons responsible for the
fakes.
An alarm from the vicinity of It'll and
l streets northwest, shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, summoned
the fire department to the store Of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company at 81
7th street northwest. Smoke coming
from a furnace led a person to believ,
there was fire in the cellar and he
sounded the alarm. No damage was
done.
