Takes His Vacation in Rocker on Capitol Hill

until dinner, the man reads magazines
and smokes and dozes, and moves his
chair to a fresh shade-spot whenever
the sun gets around to him. and once
in awhile, takes looks at the grass and
white clover and dropped oak leaves
through q magnifying lens.
In the evening he comes back to the
trees with coat over his shirt and a
collar and tie. And a cigar. Later
on, his wife and the small boy come
over for a visit and the neighbors
drift out with chairs and camp stools,
while odds and ends of children play
all around. After they have laughed
and chartered the clock around to bed
time, the wife and small son and the
neighbors and the babies drift back
to where they came from, but the man
stays on and on-until he has the
night to himself The sky full Of stars
and the bits of cool breezes, and the
silence, and the darkness-streaked
now and then with whizzing cars.

Eleven Doqs and Crow Special Pets Of Firemen

VETHEN the fire bell sounds and the
w engines and trucks go dashing
up the street, nearly always there Will
be seen, running and barking before
the steeds, a playful and intelligent
dog.
There are II such mascots In the
local fire department, and they are
just about as proud as can be; for In
a. day or two Tax Collector Rogers will
issue to them, without cost, bright,
new, glittering tags. These dogs are
the most intelligent and best trained
CANNES in the city. They are faith
full to their masters, and, needless to
say, the firemen love them.
There are Tom, and Rags, and Bell,
and Nell, and Jack, and Teddy. and
Bubbles, and Mig, and Billikin, and
Nell, and Minnie. Among the most
interesting of these Is Jack. black
and-white bulldog, belonging to En-
CINE Company No. 7, in R street North
west, between Ninth and Tenth
streets. And Jack has companion
black one, and very strange one
too-a crow named Jerry.
Now, some persons would naturally
conclude that there was not much
peace In a place where crow and 1
bulldog were put together-that is
not until after some feathers hat

ELIMINATING Mr.. and Mrs.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Citizen suggests that the I'M
necessary and unpleasing prefix "Mr."
should be eliminated from the super
scription of letters. The derivation
of this prefix was one Of the penalties
enforced in our American colonies
during the seventeenth century. The
records of Massachusetts, show that
in 1880 Josias Plaistowe was con.
demned "for stealing four baskets OF
corn from the Indians, to return them
eight baskets again, to be fined a5
and hereafter to be called Josias, not
Mr., as he used to be-" The Massa
chusetts penal code also provided fol
docking women of the prefix Of Mrs.
but there is no record Of this clause
having been enforced.

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist In more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and COT
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is simple way
to let the light break In.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about 1t, In letter. He
says:
For about forty years, have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble In
various forms. During the last 25
years would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
1.-THE best doctors / could get and
all the medicines / could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change Of climate was tried with
out results. could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that 1t seemed
1t would jump out Of my body.
II came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that was
about wound up, when / saw Postum
advertisement. I had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead oi
coffee and In less than three weeks
felt Ike a new man. The rheumatism
left me, and have never had spell
Of bilious collie since.

MINNESOTA'S NOSE.
Curious History of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.

Northern boundary Line.
How did the United States come to
get that small corner of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary of Minnesota? History Of
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota aud which
constitutes the northcrnmost point of
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty of 1883 the bou. dnry
between the United States and British
possessions was fixed \ certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mutual
~ agreed to as one starting point. this
being considered the headwaters of the
ST Lawrence river and great lakes
system.
At that time Il WIS not known wheih-
or this point was north or south of the
forty-ninth parallel. but il was known
TO be close TO it, The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should 20 north or south To the forty
ninth parallel. rs the case might be.
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north of the forty-ninth par
allel aud so at this place the boundary
makes jog above that line.
Uncle sam thus has little piece of
territory Of about hundred square
miles i'm extent north os the general
boundary And the joke OF it is that
any one has TO 20 10y water in order To
reach this little piece of territory unless
he wants to 70 through Canada.-Path-
finder
