are Virginians by birth. He was born
at Staunton 50 years ago this month
and she was born at Wytheville, the
daughter of Judge and Mrs William
Fl. Boiling and three brothers, John
Randolph, Richard Wilmer and Julian
B. Boiling live in Washington. Rolfe
E. Boiling, another brother, is man
ager of the Commercial Bank at Pana-
ling, lives in Louisville, KY. A third
sister, Mrs. M. H. Maury, lives in An
niston, Alabama. The brides family
has been prominent in the history Of
Virginia and she herself is a descend
daughter who married John Rolfe.
Since 1896, Mrs. Gait has lived in
Washington, belonging to none of the
distinct social sets, but active in char
ity and philanthropy in her own ways.
From her first husband she inherited
control of prosperous mercantile
business of which she has been &C
credited with now being the active
head and many tributes are paid to
her ability But activity in business,
her friends say, never has diminished
her interest in woman's world. She
loves flowers, books and out door rec
reations. After the Presidents court
ship began she took up golf and on
many Saturday afternoons they were
seen together on the links at some
one of the country clubs about the
capital, or at other times taking long
motor drives over the Virginia hills
or along the shore roads in lower
Maryland. Often they took picnic
luncheon from the White House on
their journt VS. and ate it by the road
side.
In the White House circle the bride
quickly found her place. She plays
the piano, sings and loves poetry and
when in the intimacy of the family,
the President often has read aloud his
favorite poems, as is his custom, she
is said to have been one of his most
interested hearers,
Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presi-
dents eldest daughter, and Miss
Helen Woodrow Bones, his cousin,
are said to have drawn her into the
White House circle in the early au-
tumn of 1914. From that time, she
was a frequent guest at the executive
mansion, and last summer spent a
month as the guest of Margaret Will
son at the summer White House at
Cornish, n. H. The engagement was
announced on October 6, not long
after the presidential party returned
to Washington for the winter.
Both the President and his bride
agreed not to have their wedding in
the White House but in her home
near Dupont circle which sometimes
is called the social hub of the capital.
She lives there in q tastefully arrang-|
ed house, somewhat small by COM
parison with the mansions which sur
round 1t. It is not large enough forj
entertaining on an extended scale
and for that reason large company

ORIGINAL STORIES.
The Bronze Gamma of the Shenan.

NORMAN C. TICE.

A soft breeze stole down the val
ley of the Shenandoah and swayed the
flowers in Virginia Benson's garden.
In the center of the float grew a
cluster of her favorite bronze can
mas. Virginia was working among
the blossoms that she loved. The
sun had just risen and the dew still
cleaned on the grass.
oh mother ~ she exclaimed.

Gamma. 1t is all In bloom"
Her mother came quickly down
the fower-bordered path.
Isn't it beautiful ?" asked tn
enthusiastic young gardener.
Yes dear" answered her moth
err. 1t has fully repaid the care
you have showered upon it,"
Both women turned to see a
cloud of dust approaching in the
distance. AS it drew nearer they
saw it was a mounted rider, racing
at full speed. The women hurried
down to the gate. Virginia recog-
nized her brother, Cecil.
Mother !" she cried, Cecil is
coming! What can be the matter ?"
The Federal forces were known
to be in the vicinity and daily re-
ports were sent by message to the
Confederates. Tie women hurried
toward the dusty highway and
awaited the rider. The horseman
drew near aad sprang from his sad
die. Mrs. Benson grasped the
gray-coated youth by his arm.
Cecil, where are you going ?"
she inquired breathlessly.
The youth brushed the dust from
his coat, kissed his mother and Sis
ter, then said:
Mother, the Federals are COM
ing. Sheridan is laying waste the
Shenandoah. You must hurry up

FRIDAY, OCTOBER /, 1915.

To convince us that Morgan could
boast of plums of superior quail
ty, subscriber" from that town
sent US a fine sample ofsthem last
week. They were sent in answer to
the article we wrote about Morgan
highway plums a short time ago,
Being a little suspicious of Morgan
plums, even though they looked
fine, and that someone was putting
up a job on US, we concluded to
work one off on the office girl first,
and if she lived through it, we might
be tempted to finish the rest. This
was a mean trick, but then, we are
full of them. Well, she tasted; and
the terrible face she made up con-
WINGED us we had met with a mar
row escape. So we left the box ex-
posed and cursed the one who
dared to mete out to US so terrible
a revenge. Later, accidentally
noticing that office quill driver was
still eating pIums-withouU the wry
face-we looked into the box,
and Well! it was a mean trick at
the best. Smelling a rat she had
made up that face to get possession
of the box, and she did. We took
what was left and will admit
Morgan has some fine plums. But
of course these were cultivated
plums not those that grew along
the highway. We were very care
full not to criticise cultivated plums
for fear someone. might think we
had climbed over a fence. And even
in this instance Subscriber" was
very careful not to mention just
where these plums grew flor fear
we mightsfnd the tree. But they
were of a very superior grade.

One Way to Get Water,

Walter +. Reid, the scientist who in
vented smokelesS powder, has led an ad-
venturous life in many lands. His in
vention of smokeless powder was a
result of his experiences among the
red Indians, when he relied on his rifle
for food. On one occasion Mr.. Reid
was dying of thirst in the pampas of
the Argentine. In his extremity he
noticed his horse during the night lick
ing the dew off the vegetation Then
he had an inspiration. He dragged
his shirt over the grass until it was
saturated, and then squeezed it out.
He worked in this way for hours. and
in the morning there was enough wa
ter to save the lives Of both man and
horse.-London Standard.

What are Our Water Resources

This is question to which many,
if not all, would like the correct an
swer; for iH the end it metns utiliz-
atop ofAnuch' power now going to
waste. To the prospective user of
such power the answer involves
fundamental means of determining
how much money may be wisely ex-
pended; in purchase of land for site,
in construction of dams or.immedi-
ate control, and of reservoirs for
transformation and distribution.
Entering into the problem at CIV
en- point, factors, determinable once
for all, are the extent of the drain
age area, and the nature of the
slopes forming the basin. Factors
continually varying, are tempera-
ture and rainfall, also the rate of
evaporation, absorption by the soil
and assimilation by vegetation. Up
on these will depend the amount of
water available for power at that
point.
Slowly we are acquiring needed
data as to rainfall and temperature,
Not simple matters since it is not
enough to know these at one point in
"a river basin at all extensive; gener-
al rains very greatly in the amount
of PRECIPITATION at the various points
and local showers still further change
relative totals. Assimilation by
plant life and atmospheric evapora-
ton have been less widely studied
and reliable data is wanting. We
know in general way that the form
er varies with the amount and
kind of vegetation, and that the lat
ter changes with the soil and its
surface, with the temperature and
moisture of the air and its rate
of motion.
If all this data were available, it
would be a comparatively simple
matter to solve a poorer problem
ora given point without visiting
it; but such has not been gathered
and will not be for very many years
to come.
Fortunately the main question
concerns the volume of water pass
ing, and, given the cross section of
the stream, this volume will vary
with the current and the depth.
AS these are continually chang
ing, really useful information in
wolves record for a period of years.
The reading of current meter or
depth guage once, is simple mat
ter; but to repeate that reading the
thousands of times necessary, is a
real task and experience has shown
that the work done is far from reli-
able. The attendant difficulties
have led to inventions adapted to
