DID HIS WORK WELL :

A Washington dispatch says that
George Washington's surveying,
done in 1851 when as a lad of nine
teen he ran a line with a chain and
compass through the wilderness of
the Virginia hills for Lord Fairfax,
has been checked UP by the govern
ment surveyors who have found his
work perfect. With primitive in
strument, he left monuments and
boundaries with which technically
educated surveyors, using grade
power transits and all accurate
methods of modern instruments
were able to find no variation from
Washington's and survey blazes
and boundary fences have been re-
covered. The government is re-
tracing the old lines because it is
buying land for the new Appalach.

QUITE A COINCIDENCE

Here is something that is quite a
coincident: Woodrow Wilson was
born in 1856; Taft was born in
1858 and Roosevelt was born in
1858. Mr.. Taft was graduated
from Yale in 1878, Wilson from
Princeton in 1879 and Roosevelt
from Harvard in 1890. Wilson was
married in 1885, Taft in 1886 and
Roosevelt, the second time in 1886.
Wilson graduated from the law
school in 1882, Taft got his first
political job in 1882 and Roosevelt
got his first political job in 1882.
Wilson became president of Prince
ton in 1902; Roosevelt becapG
president in 1901 and Taft became
governor of the PHILIPPINES in
1901. But when we get down to
1912, there seems to be a break
in the chain and it is quite diff
erent. Mr.. Wilson is elected presi-
dent; Mr.. Taft becomes our heav-
lest living ex-president and the Col
onel plans another hunting trip

HAVE you got your application

Fair? You know there is $40, 900
to be squandered and there are a
large number of political leeches
who have alteady asked for a slice
of it. There is no reason why you
should not have chair. BY the
way, there is funny story told in
exclusive circles about one of the
appointments made. A certain man
was asked how he could afford to
accept position which did not
carry salary and replied, ooh,

A NARROW ESCAPE

A week ago Lost Saturday the
two-year-old Sun of Mr.. and Mrs.
Garcia fell backward to the ground
from a window in the second story
of the harness shop and was picked
up unnjured. The little fellow was
sitting in the window playing with
a doll when he lost his balance and
fell. Mrs. Garcia saw him fall and
rushed to the window and saw him
lying on the ground and thought
he was killed. Mr.. Garcia war
called, rushed to the child and
much to his surprise found him I'M
hurt and calling for his papa.
The window from which the child
fell is about II feet from the
ground, but in falling he struck
the roof of an adjoining building
and bounced from that to the
ground. This doubtless saved the
little fellow from serious injury or
death.

STOP'THIS ABUSE

The amount of printed matter
sent to the various newspaper
Offices of the country by the differ
ent departments of the government,
must cost the people millions Of
dollars AS we seldom see any Of
it printed in the papers, the money
spent by the government in print
ing and circulating it is wasted.
Nearly every mail brings bulle-
tins to this office that are of no
earthly use to SO per cent of the
people Of the United States. What
is true of this office will hold true
Of other newspaper Offices. Here
the stuff is glanced over and then
finds resting place in the waste
basket. his abuse should be in
vestigated by congress and stopped.
Millions Of dollars could be sa"ed
annually by congress putting a
limit on this wholesale printing of
the views Of every Tom. Dick and
Harry that happens to be clothed
by d little brief authority in the
diffrent departments of the govern
ment.
