The Hermit

Old Hunk is a hermit and
mystic, his manner is stately and
grave, his diet is antiphlogistic,
he spends all his years in cave.
my health he remarks, is a
wonder, although I'm as old as
get out; rheumatics don't pull me
asunder, | have not the stringhalt
or govt. | MARBLE my optimist
ditties, my souls full of sunshine
and hope; but when l resided in
cities, | always was swallowing
dope. | always had shingles or
collie, or Bright's justly famous
disease; the rheumatic often
would frolic all. over my fetlocks
and knees. If man would keep
grief in the distance. and feel like
a Percheron steer, he must lead
the simple existence, and cut out
the urban career" "Methinks," |
replied. you are paying too
heavy a price for your bliss !;
while far from the bright lights
you're staying, just think of the
fun that you miss! Id rather
have smallpox or bunions, I'd
rather have seven-year itch, than
fill up with turnips and onions,
and live in cave or ditch"

GEORGETOWN MEN BANQUET.
President Donlon Discusses Growth
of Local University.

Growth of Georgetown University
was the theme of a brief address de-
livered by Rev. A. J. Donlon, S. j.,
president of the institution, at a ban
quet held by several hundred of the
alumni at the Raleigh Hotel Saturday
evening Father Donlon was the guest
of honor.
The evening was devoted to fun
producing stunts. One of these was a
humorous debate on the proposition
that THE carrying of brief cases by at
torneys and medicine or surgical cases
by physicians in public places after Of
flee hours is a violation of the ethical
rule against pernicious advertising as
defined by the American Bar Associa-
ton and the American Medical Asso-
ciation." Frank J. Hogan. d. w. Baker,
Dr. S. S. Adams and Dr. Tully Vaughan
discussed the proposition from many
angles calculated to produce laughter.
Musical numbers were contributed by
William Sanderson. Thomas Cantwell,
George O'Connor, Matt Horne and G.
W. Sanderson. Motion pictures of a
humorous character were also shown.

CITY HEADS TO CONSIDER
MILITIA ENROLMENT
Brig. Gen. Harvey's Request Will
Be Taken Up by Commits
sioners Tomorrow.

Action on the request of Brig. Gen.
William E. Harvey. commanding the
District of Columbia militia. that they
provide for an enrolment of the militia
of the District will be considered by the
Commissioners at their board session
tomorrow.
Gen. Harvey's letter did not reach the
Municipal building in time to be taken
up at yesterdays board session, nor
has Secretary Donovan had an oppor-
tunity to bring it informally to their
attention.
According to the guard commander,
he has no record of the men in the
District who could be called upon for
duty in time of war. His letter refers
to the law which gives the Commits
sioners the power to require the as
SCISSORS, at the time they are engaged
in assessing real and personal prop
erty, to make list of all persons liable
to enrolment.
What data are now available in tho
District building that would make pos
sible a compliance with Gen. Harvey s
request the Commissioners will imme-
diately ascertain.
1t is stated that the enrolled militia
will not be subject to any duty except
when called into the service of the
United States or to aid the civil au
thorities in the execution of the laws
or the suppression of riots.

Ing when the citizens wished to meet
there or had questioned the right of the
people to determine the time Of their
own meetings. IF the board of educa-
ton does not open the buildings when
the people want them, under law which
authorizes that board to do this, then
certainly the law must be enacted which
directs the board of education to do this
pledge you my support for this meas
ure, since the other one which 1 intro
duced does not seem to have proved sat

The people should choose their own
