REASONS FOR CHANGING
NAME OF THOROUGHFARE
Philander johnson Explains Why
Pennsylvania Avenue Should
Bs Rechristened.

That Pennsylvania avenue between
the Capitol and Treasury should be
given name of larger national sig
nificance is the belief of Philander
johnson Of this city, who, in a letter
TO the Retail Merchants Association,
suggests the name of the Avenue of
the PreSidents' for the thoroughfare.
In his letter to the association Mr..
johnson says:
In far1s tribute to the artistic
spirit of the nation is implied in the
title Avenue de LOpera' as given to
the stretch of thoroughfare from the
Louvre to the opera. Washington pos
sesses a stretch of thoroughfare quite
as distinctively situated in what is
now called Pennsylvania avenue, ex-
tending from the Capitol to the Treas
ury building. No thoroughfare in the
world has been employed to COM
memorate the patriotic spirit and the
hational development of the people as
has this highway. which all the Presi-
dents have traversed during ceremo-
malls of the deepest significance.
To call this limited but beautiful
extent of highway the Avenue of the
pose and imply no compliment save
one which every citizen would willing
ly bestow on the series of men who
have been chosen for national leader
ship since the establishment of this re-
public. The designation would not in
terfere with the street plan of the city,
because this portion of Pennsylvania
avenue is not in continuous line with
Pennsylvania avenue southeast and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and
the present designation Is rather cal
culated to confuse than to serve as
guidance.

IN SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.
Coasting Schooners Take Places Of
Withdrawn Steamers.

Additional charters of two large
coasting schooners for the South Ameri-
can trade are reported, making six or
eight schooners that within the next
few weeks will be withdrawn from the
Atlantic coast for long trips south.
The charters announced are those of
the four-masted schooner E. Starr Jones,
to carry 10000 cases of refined petro-
leum from New York to Rio Janiero at
80 cents a case, and the four-masted
schooner Eleanor F. Bartram, which
will carry coal from Norfolk to Rio
Janeiro at s5.25 ton.
In addition to these South American
charters the four-masted schooner Au-
gustus Welt will carry lumber from
Panama City to New York. at 81 a
thousand feet.
The demand for schooners in the South
American trade is made necessary by
the fact that most of the steamers here
tofcre employed in that traffic are now
entering the transatlantic trade. in
which freights are far In excess of any
heretofore known.

7 never felt 50 helpless. so horribly
weak and useless. There l was, only a
few yards away and the man was my
stepfather, and his enemy was our friend
And not far away stood the mans big
house filled with guests-among them
strong men who could have overpowered
dozens of Indians. But what could 1 do?
Then I had a thought. Let him live,
Red Feather I said. but strip him Of
all his i'll got property. Turn him loose
In the world without a penny; it'll be
punishment enough. You can't bring back
your daughter by killing him, but you
can make him give up all he has in re-
turn for stealing the money from your
tribe"
I don't know why I thought Of thai and
L don't know why it made instant appeal
to Red Feathers mind. l saw at once
that he was going to consent. All he
said was. Talk to him." But l knew
what he meant.
So I crossed the room and looked down
at the man. MIR. Gledware," I said, "are
you willing to give up all your posses
sions in order to save your life?"
ooh, yes" he gasped. "a thousand
times: yes! God bless you, Lahoma.'
you will deed all your property away
from you? And surrender all that you
own-money, bonds, stocks. etc. ?"
MY 1Ou, yes, yes! save me!'
I looked at Red Feather. Shall he
make it all over to you?"
Red Feather shook his head. Me not
want his money. Let him give all to Red
Flower. the daughter him not see since
he stole our money and desert his wife"
Eyes, yes, yes" moane MIR. Gledware.
"Ill give everything to her-IW make over
everything to her in the morning, so HELP
me God! If you spare my life she shall
have everything"
All this time Red Feather had never
moved his knee from the mans breast
Now he rose and pointed toward the east
The morning will come" he said solemn
~. IF you keep our word-wel! II
you try fool Red Feather-if you keer
back one piece of money, one clod OF
earth He wheeled about so suddenly
with his drawn knife that I thought he
was plunging il into the mans heart. Il
shot down like lightning. but stopped
short just before the edge of the blade
touched the miserable coward.
Mr.. Gledware sobbed and gasped anc
choked, swearing that he would keep hi
word and assuring us that, if he broke it
death would be too good for him. Blu
what he will do when he thinks himself
safe--that's another thing! I know his
life Is as secure as mine il he Is true t.
his promise. But If he breaks it-well
We know Red Feather!
I'm going to cave here in the morning
In coming back where there's room
enough to turn around in, and air enough
TO breathe, where men speak the trutf
because they don't care who's who, ant
shoot quick and straight when they have
to. People have made the big world a.
