Edith Calf and President Wilson. the
president, his lancee, the social secre-
tary and Secretary Tumulty we're be-
sic ged with letters from all parts of
The world asking for portraits Of the
coming mistress of the White House.
Those busy people at the capital were
most accommodating and most OF the
requests were. granted, but for the
past few weeks there has been much
appointment felt, for the supply of
pictures has given out.
The lovely Mrs. Calf has given away
the last Of her photographs, and her
charming face has been seen in nu-
merous papers all over the United
States. II IS we'll known that the
presidents 1ancee Is greatly opposed,
to publicity, and though She has taken
an active part in the social affairs in
washington for q number OF years she
has since the first days Of her widow
hood worn black costumes. However,
realizing that she IS to hold the high

People generally associate ideas of the California big trees with the Mari. posa grove, near the Yosemite, and yet it appears that there are in the Se- quoia National park 1,10G,O00 trees, 12.- 100 of which exceed ten feet in diane ter. Some idea of the immensity of ono of these big trees can be gathered from the statement that 5000 fencenosts. sufficient to support wire fence around 5000 or 0,000 acres, have been made from one of these giants, and that was only the first step toward us- ing its huge carcass. Six hundred and fifty thousand shingles, enough to cov- CT the roofs of seventy or eighty houses. formed the second item of its product. Finally, there still remained hundreds of cords of firewood which no one could use because of the pro- hibitlve expense of hauling the wood out of the mountains. s."-Manufacturer Record.

A Memorable Ride.

The most memorable ride in English history was that of Sir Arthur Owen, which placed the Hanoverlan dynasty on the throne of Great Britain. The act of settlement by which in 170l parliament elected the house of Han- over to the British throne was passed by only one vote. and this casting vote was given by Sir Arthur owen, the member of parliament for Pembroke shire. He arrived at Westminster, dusty and travel worn, only just in time to record his vote, having ridden with furious haste from Wales for the purpose on relays of horses kept at nll the posting houses along the route. To that ride Britain owes its Georgian era: hence its Queen Victoria and her descendants.
