FUNSTON ASKED TO
HURRY D. c. TROOPS
Col. Harper Urges Return of
Guard In Time for

General Funston, in command of the
forces on the Mexican border. was sent
a message today by Col r. n. Harper.
Chairman Of the inaugural committee,

turn Of the District. Maryland, and Vir-
ginia guardsmen home in time for their

Tomorrow Secretary of War Baker

the Southern division to include the
District guardsmen and those Of the
nearby States among the first movement
of troops North. The inaugural chair
man will inform the Secretary Of War
that il Is the urgent desire OF all loyal
citizens of the District to see their rep
resentatives on the border in the pa
geant marking the second inaugural OF
President Wilson.
The War Department explained yester-
day when the rehabilitation order was
issued that the return of all the guards
men was expected to be completed by

men to their home stations will be start
ed North February 20.

Preparing Royal Welcome.

Washington will turn out with wei
men. Plans set under way last night
and today call for a great banquet
and reception for the men the night
after their return from the border.
The good news that Wasnington's
more than 800 soldiers have been Cr-
dered home caught the reception com
mittees unawares last night. But no
time will be lost in making every
thing ready to welcome the men
home.
The words of Col II. ID. Simms,
head OF the Military Service Legion.
seem to express the feeling of the en-
tire city. Colonel Simms. when in
formed that the men were coming
home at once, said:
Nothing could please me better
And know that other people con
nected with the guard feel just as
do"
Brings Joy 10 Thousands.
But it is not only those who stayed
at home who are glad. Hundreds OF
kilograms received today and last
night from the border bear express
ions of gladness. For families Will be
reunited: husbands will be returned
to their wives and children. and
young sons will be restored to moth
ers who have waited long and anX-
iously.
All details have been left to General
Funston, who is doing everything pos
sible to get the men home at once.
Better Pullman service is now at hand
than when the troops were sent TO
the border. and the men will be able
to travel in more comfort. II is eX-
pected that the men will arrive here
sometime about the last OF the month.
II is the hope OF officials that the
troops will arrive before the 9Th of
March in order that they may take
partin the inaugural parade.
AS plans now stand an immense
banquet will be given to the soldiers

Chinese Tablet on Broadway.

A bronze tablet with queer letters
inscribed on it is displayed In con-
spicuOus place on the iron fence of
st. Paurs chapel, at Broadway and
Fulton street. 1t is about six feet
from the ground and about ten feet
forth of Fulton street.
Thousands of persons daily pass the
corner. Those who have seen the
tablet stopped and stared at it. The
only letters discernible to them were
30 Vesey street, which were on the
bottom of the tablet. The explanation
of its presence is that st. Pauls chapel
maintains Sunday school for Chinese
at % Vesey street.
The selection of that particular place
for the tablet was due to the fact that
many Cinnamon on their way to Jer-
sey City on Sunday pass the Broad
way side of the church and turn at
Fulton street to the Hudson tubes.

and sprang upon Penrod, catching him
round the waist simultaneously with
this impact, the wooden swords spun
through the air, and were presently
trodden underfoot as the two boys
wrestled to and fro.
Penrod was not altogether surprised
by the onset of his friend He had
been aware of Sans increasing irrita-

clearly stated its cause), and that very
irritation produced a corresponding
emotion in the bosom of the irritator.
Mentally, Penrod was quite ready for

though, for the first few moments,
Sam had the physical advantage.
However, it is proper that a neat
distinction be drawn here. This was
conflict, but neither technically nor
in the intention of the contestants was

in state of high evaporation, and
there was great bitterness; but no
blows fell and no tears. They

italy Home of Peroola.

The idea of the pergola was Dor.
rowed from Italy, and many Of the
best planned pergolas follow an Ital-
ian model. They may be solldly built,
with brick or stone pillars, either
square or round, or sometimes with
these alternating; in this case the
flooring is generally of brick or ram
dom jointed stone work. These solid
pillars form good foundation for
rambler roses of all kinds, or feStOOns
OF clematis, honeysuckle and wistaria.
Very generally, however, the perg0la
is of lighter construction, and, in this
case, larch poles are often used Care
should be taken to choose strong poles
and to see that the prevailing slope
of the cross bars is up rather than
down, as otherwise they sag in the
center in an unsightly way. These
pergolas are not such enduring posses
sion as the more solid ones, but the
cost is much smaller, and they soon
become beautiful, since most rambler
roses are so free-grOwing as 10 hide
the framework in a short time. Mucn
depends upon the type of house ana
garden, the simpler pergolas being bet
ter suited to the cottage, while Tagged
walks, with piers of brick or stone
seem more in keeping with the Larger
and more stately dwellings.

possible in ragged sleeve, and con-
fined his demonstrations to heaving

Penrod led the way into the dainty
room of his nineteen-year-old sister,
Margaret, and closed the door.

going to an inner door, he threw it
open, disclosing a clothes-clOset hung
with pretty garments of many kinds,
while upon its floor were two rows of
shoes and slippers of great variety
and charm.
A significant thing is to be re
Ii drked concerning the door Of this
somewhat intimate treasury; there
was no knoO OF AdlSh upoh inc AhhSA

closed, it could be opened only from
