These Queer Images Peer at one
From Capital Churches and Pub

On each side of the main Tenth

is the head of an animal, dogs head
of ones zoology is not at fault Each
of the heads is on an outstretched
neck and the body of the animal Is
not visible, only the neck projecting
from the stone wall The heads are
in the north and south angles of the
wall or on the north and south sldes
of the porch, and are themselves OF
the same stone as the walls OF the
church. The necks and the heads
reach upward as well as outward and
are about the height of the doorway
above the ground.
Under the caves of the Church OF
the Ascension, at the northwest cor
ner of Massachusetts avenue and
Twelfth street, and close up to the roof
line on the west and the eats sides,
is a row of what, at that height. seem
to be the craven faces of men ana AMI

the aid of little fancy. they may be
studied into the images of living

person that these are "corbels,

Faces stare at one from the balus-
trade which separates the north lawn
of the department of agriculture into
the upper and lower gardens. The
difference in the level between the
two parts of the garden, or the
grounds, is measured by an east-west
brownstone wall, the middle of which
is pierced by a flight Of five brown
stone steps and marked at each end
by a tall summer house, containing
old-fashioned all-iron benches, which
once were used in the public parks,
but which one sees now, as rule,
only in cemeteries. These faces peer
out from the middle of the panels of
the balustrade. They alternate with
big ironwork rosettes. Beginning at
the east summer house the first panel
is ornamented with the head of
hunting dog, the second panel has
rosette, the third rams head. the
fourth rosette, the fifth the head of a
young girl, the sixth rosette, the

SECRETARY HOLDS A RECORD
Pedlgo Is Dean of the Corps, Having
Served Four Succeeding War
Secretaries.

Those congressman who have busi-
ness with the secretary of war are
gratified over the reappointment by
Secretary Garrison of Walter R. Pedi-
go as private secretary. In visiting
a secretary a congressman is always
admitted at once, when the private
secretary knows him as congress
man; otherwise he is held up with the
throng until he can establish his
identity or take his turn. Hence con-
gressmen prefer a private secretary
who has them tabled in his mind.
In fact, he is dean of the private
secretarys corps, if there is such a
CORPS; or eligible for the presidency
of a private secretary's union when
ever one is organized. No one else
ever made the record he has establish
ed, for he has served four succeeding
secretaries of war. When Luke Wright
became secretary of war in 1908, Mr..
Pedigo, then clerk in the bureau of
insular affairs, was taken over to the
secretary's Office as private secretary.
When Jacob NJ. Dickinson succeeded
Mr.. Wright under President Taft, he
found that he needed Mr.. Pedigo and
kept him. Secretary Stimson reap
pointed Mr.. Pedigo and now Secretary
Garrison has done the same.
