whose daughter, Sophie Louise Little. gave
much of her energy and time toward the
upbuilding of st. Margarets.
These people and others equally promi-
nent in the history of the city built the
church to accommodate the rapidly grow
ing section at the head of Connecticut
nue. They borrowed $1,000 from Rock
Creek Church. where they formerly at
tended, and expended the amount on the
original st. Margaret's. With a congrega-
ton of $50 the church began. Since that
time two additions have been made, and
the membership has increased until it now
reaches the twelve-thousand mark. The
property today is valued at S150,000, and
the church itself is known as one of the
most fiourishing in Washington.
In remodeling the first structure the in
genious device of turning the church
around in order to enlarge it was decided
upon. The original nave became the
transepts, and the addition. wide and
roomy, formed the new nave. The altar
likewise was removed to a place in the
new nave. and the little church. with
Encouragement OF pews and aisles, be-

1t now stands completely equipped
modern church, with kindergarten class
!, rooms, a kitchen to expedite service at
church parties and sociables, a library,
locker room for the choir and a well fur
nished rectors study.
To this beautiful church will come the
first lady in the land. 1t will in addition
be the mecca for the admiring crowds
which are already beginning to bestow at
tons which Mrs. Finley Shepherd, who
was Mrs. Cleveland, formerly received
from the people whenever she appeared in
public.

Some Men Always Wrong.
From the Syracuse Journal.


On almost any question a very large
number of the people would vote
wrong-wrong, as history would prove.
Thus about half of Philadelphia's re-
spectacle citizens strongly opposed the
Declaration of Independence.
Very nearly half the people in the
thirteen states voted against the Con-
stitution under which we have lived
for 124 years and which we now revere.
Patrick Henry, James Monroe and
scores of leaders declared it would lead
to a kingdom.
Half the people of the country were
led to believe the United States Bank
was a political monster. and so Jack
son handed the republic over to a sys-
tenn of corrupt state banks.
Let the erring sisters go in peace"
was a popular phrase prior to the civil
war. and disunion rather than fight
was preached in many a pulpit and APP
plauded by newspapers and eminent
citizens.
Far more than half the voters of the
United States voted against the first
election of Lincoln.
Every big American city fought
against the introduction of gas as a
deadly menace. When the railroads
came. at about the same time, they
were branded as the sure death of
Inns lightning rods" were ridiculed by
some as lightning catchers." The troll
ley cars, only score of years ago, were
pictured as SO many juggernauts.
The populace combatted vaccination
against smallpox, and it still fights in
India against scientific treatment of
the bubonic plague.

Value of Ground Mole,
rom Country Life In America.

There is popular belief that the
ground mole is a destructive animal
Like many popular beliefs, this cannot
be substantiated by facts Ground
nroles do not feed upon roots and are
not destructive. The ground mole is
subterranean animal. 1t builds it's
nest. rears it's young and hunts its prey
beneath the earth. 1t is well adapted
to it's subterranean life. the shape of
it's body being cylindrical, gradually
tapering to point at the extremity of
it's nose. Ground moles visit only those
localities where the earth is infested
with insect life. Where they are nu-
nerous the ground Is interlaced with
runs" or passageways that lead from
cue feeding ground to another. These
little animals deserve protection, be-
cause they prey upon all kinds of I'M
foreground insects, among which are
the larvae of some of the most injuri-
Gus insects which pass their pupa or
chrysalis stage beneath the earth.

Already thinking people are giving
serious attention to certain vital prob
lens that lie involved in the inevitable
REIMBURSEMENT that will follow hard and
close upon the end of the war. This
little volume sums to a highly authori-
tative consideration of several of the
most important of these questions. One
analyses the effect of the war upon the
general movement toward democracy,
which the struggle itself has interrupt
ed. One discusses the effect of the
war upon international law. and an
other it's effect upon international com
merce and finance. The question, which
as a socializing force, the state or the
individual. will outweigh the other aft

gallery and school of art worthy of our

TsHE Metropolitan Museum is con-
stantly reaching out to the people,
endeavoring in many ways to open to
those who are. figuratively. blind to the
avenues of pleasure approached through
the love of art. Lectures have been
given at this great city museum for
those who were actually blind by one
who was especially qualified to create
through words vivid realization of the
unseen. In this case after the talk the
listeners were permitted to feel of the
sculpture and other objects possessing
beauty of form.
This year the Metropolitan Museum is
endeavoring to reach the deaf and hard
