Of Washington, D. C., who holds 9 gov

canes was told by Charles II. Woods one
of the assistant managers of the Bilt-
more Hotel.
Mr. Walsh, II appears, had a hard
time trying to carry a cane In this city,
for as soon as he got enthusiastic about
some question he would forget all about
his cane. So he got several not very ex-
pensive ones and brought half a dozen
to the Biltmore with him. He said he
probably would lose them all before he
left the city.
One of the cashiers. who heard that a
cane had been found the other day, told
Mr.. Walsh about it. He asked to see the
stick.
Don't wish that on me-" he said.
That's one I've been trying to lose for
months and # always comes back"
