IN AN UNACCUSToMED ROLE
Senator Stone Of Missouri, Mistaken
for Footman, but Was Not
Oaunted.

Senator William ]. Stone of Mis-
souri, appeared the other day in a new
role-that of footman.
Two Missoulians asked Senator
Stone to take them to the White
House to see the president. The
senator promptly telephoned Sergeant
alarms Higgins of the senate to hur-
ry around vehicle. Nothing could
be found save one of Washington s
famous old ''seagoing hacks" capable
of seating two persons.
Nothing daunted. Senator Stone
climbed to the footman's seat beside
the driver. The hack drove up to tho
Offices of the White House with a
flourish and the senator descended
from hfA high perch and opened the
door OF the equipage for his friends
in true 'ootman style.

GREATEST PUBLIC LIBRARY
Washington Ahead Of Other Cities In
Results Obtained, but Behind
In Salaries.

The annual report of the District
public library. which was given out
the other day. is OF interest for two
reasons-the economy shown in the
local system, as compared with other
cities of similar size, and the way
in which this is accomplished. by the
payment of low wages to many em-
ployes. The growth of the institution
and the spread of its work are also
noticeable features
The available cost of home circula-
ton of books in &c cities OF more
than 100000 population is placed at
13 cents. according to the report. while
the similar item in this city is placed
at ten cents volume. The librarian
of congress. Mr.. Putnam, has declared
intelligently active for Its size and
constituency in the whole country"
In relation to wages, the report
says. in part:
The original library appropria-
tions were slowly and inadequately
made. The salaries were fixed by
congress on a starvation basis, and
no effort hitherto has been success
full in raising them except in spots.
Charwomen are still paid $3.50 year
as against a minimum of s240 year
elsewhere; many regular assistants.
professional librarians, are paid $3.50
and $40 year, when the minimum
pay for merely clerical work else
where in the government service is
s720."
The treasurers report shows that
the total expenditures during the
year amounted to s6s.3o7.0s, with re-
ceipts, mainly from congressional ap-
preparations, of $66.999.95.

UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS HOME
Cannot Be EquaIed for Beauty In the
United States, or Probably
in World.

A group of buildings comprising the
United States Soldiers home in Wash
ington cannot be equaled for beauty
in the United States, and 1t is doubt
full IL they can be matched anywhere
in the world.
Bigbtsen veterans of the Mexican
war are among the former soldiers
OF the United States army living at
Soldiers home. Five of the veterans
fought also in the Civil war, according
to the report of the board of mana
gers of the home, announced recently.
There are 1890 soldiers at the home
The oldest is ninety-three years old,
and the youngest is twenty-four
There are ten inmates more than
eighty years of age. The soldiers are
contented at the home. apparently
They were given opportunity during
the past year privately to make com
plant. But one kick" was regis
tered. This was outside the jurisdic-
tion Of the home. Farming at the
home resulted in profit OF about
$500. There was expended $7.712.01
More than $1,000 worth of produce
was grown. The dairy plant produced
more than 10000 gallons of milk and
cream.

we must concede to the French de-
signer masterful handling of the
drapery. 1t is modest, but is meant
to be conspicuous. 1t is original and
sticks to beautiful lines, SO that there
is no straining after novel effect at
the expense of taste.
The headdress is in keeping with
the character of the gown. 1t is made
of rhinestones and magnificent spray
of costly feathers. The hair is pecul-
iarly dressed but suits the type of face
of the model in the illustration, which
is pure French.
Altogether the gown, coiffure, and
hair ornament suit this type incom-
parably well, SO that the ensemble ia
full of fascination. One could hardly
be other than charming with toilette
so complete and SO beautiful. And it
is the knowledge that she is making a
charming appearance which lends
charm to those wonderful French
women. to whom the world owes a
debt of gratitude. They are preserv.
ing charm; they take care to be charm.

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Invention Said to Guarantee Every
Shot BuIseye, Even In
the Dark.

Charles Pechard, police official of
Paris, has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot a revolver
more accurately in the dark than in
broad daylight, the New York Inde-
pendent states.
This attachment consists of a metal
lie tube with lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. By
means of mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as n slender cone,
and Is sufficiently strong at distance
of some four rods for all practical pur-
poses. In the middle of the illumina-
ted field there is a small dark spot
which comedies with the line OF the
bullets flight. This enables the mex
perienced shooter to hit selected
part of the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
In ordinary target practice
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or storage battery,
which the officer can carry In his
pocket or which the defender of the
home can place under his pillow. The
light tube can be attached to an ordi-
nary pistol, and it may be used as a
fash with peaceful intent or merely
as show of force.
