Fake War Work.

A SENATOR said at a dinner partyi
Now that the war Is over, we
can freely upbraid the fake war
worker. The fake war worker was

Some had jingling gold in their pockets
and dreams OF millions in their minds.
Broadcloth coats were buttoned about
choaked their necks. The Rambler
wondered II these good fellows had
as good appetite as he and were hev-
ing as good . time. Then he bit
another hunk from his sandwich and
hand.
The quarry walls rose on three sides.
The fourth side, which was the north,
was open. There the land sloped
down to Cabin John creek. Between
trees @ and shrubs, some Well advanced
in leaf and bloom. Within the quarry
a few trees had grown up and the
years had laid green carpet over
the gray rock floor. The quarry walls

them This quarry rubbish. or detri-
tus, was upgrown in mosses, ferns
and other plants that flourish in
dim solitude. About these slides of
quarry fragments rose the gray rock

that tall trees grew.
Rock blasted from this quarry may
now be serving men in various ways.
Perhaps the walls Of some old homes
in Washington and Georgetown are
of stone blocks hewed here. Perhaps
babes have been born within those
walls and grown up within them.
married within them and passed from
life within them without once think
ing OF the old quarry where the stone
was born. Perhaps men have made
fortunes in buildings whose walls
were once part Of this quarry. Per-
haps granite blocks from this old
quarry have been used in building
prison walls and perhaps suffering
men have cursed the old quarry which
gave birth to such cold and pitiless
stone.
This quarry is not like hundreds of
such landscape scars around Wash

granite. Nature used in making it
such things as quartz. orthoclase.

perhaps little garnets and a few zir-
con crystals. You could not look at
these rough big walls without think
ing Of Othello's "Antres vast and
deserts wild, rough quarrles. rocks
and hills whose heads touch heaven"
When the Rambler sat on the root of
the big beech tree between the
quarry walls and the land that sloped
down to the dancing waters of the
creek, spring had just dawned. The
sky was Mediterranean blue, if that

In the festal trees and bushes were
many birds, each singing its Easter

shave. Divining rods have been made
of 1t. Well diggers to a greater or
less extent have depended upon a
witch-hazel twig for finding water.
The rod with which Noses smote the
rock in Horeb and produced water for
his thirsty followers may have been
Of witch-hazel. The Rambler toyed
with the witch stick very much as idle
men do with q walking stick. He
tapped the blossom -spangled earth
with 1t, thinking perhaps that the
granite cliffs might open and show
caves and seams Of gold. There might
be so many thousand tons of 1t, that
with his spare loose change he could
pay the national debt, buy the south
side of the Avenue and present 1t to
the people Of Washington as a park,
fill up the Anacostia fats, take over

fused to work. Then he tapped the
ground for oil. He thought that the
gusher that would All the valley Of

cause a greasy freshet in the Po-

He was now hungry again and he

guidly he took up the witch hazel
rod again and a bird alighted on 1t.
The Rambler's first thought was that
it was a Dickcissel. Then he thought
1t took the form of humming bird.
Then II seemed to change it's form
again, and while the Rambler was

cially and industrially, however, the
truth probably is that Abyssinia has
