THE FAST AGE

"The world never moved so fast before," unused MT. Simmons. We have winter ice on the Fourth of July, spring vegetables on Christmas; we buy our straw hats in February and our felt hats in August; we get our Sunday paper on Saturday night and our magazines 8 month ahead of time. If we telephone man in San Francisco from New York he hears our voice about four hours before we speak; and if someone in Japan sends us cablegram tomorrow we get it today"

 He opened the fingers which he had kept clenched together, and he felt the hot grip of her hand, holding his passionately, drawing it towards her until the fingers of her other hand, too, fell upon it. So she sat for several months"
 Rising with proper egoism, let it be remarked:
 That the honest-to-goodness reason that Sister Potty doesn't receive reg ular invitations to the Boosers' club IS that sister Potty never has paid any dues to that organization and therefore is not member. She shun- ned payment of dues just as she did and does her other financial obliga- tions. If she really wants to attend the meetings, Little Ego promises to take up collection to pay her cur rent dues and the expense of her meals.
 Ralph H. Cameron, republican can. didate for the U. s. senate from Ari- zona, said during the course of his speech here the other evening that a spellbinder who was travelling with Mark Smith during one of the latter's campaign tours; fifteen years ago, in troducing Smith to an audience one night, after having been admonished by the latter to call him "the nestor of democracy" got sort of befuddled and declared him to be the "nest egg of democracy"
 Cameron asked the ladies in the au- dience if they could imagine, consid- ering the fact that Mark Smith was a nest-egg fifteen years ago, what he must be today.
 Cameron also told about friend of his in Wilcox, restaurant man, whose speciality was rabbit stew. Af- ter time rabbits got scarce and the restaurant man began mixing horse meat in the stew. A government in- spector came around to investigate. He asked the man whether it was true that he was putting horse meat into his stew. He admitted that he was. How much horse meat are. you using?" asked the inspector.
 "Fifty-fifty," lejlied the restaurant man.
 What do you mean by fifty-ffty? 2"
 "Oh, one horse to one rabbit,' was the explanation.
 Horace Nay, assistant manager of the J. c. Penney store, tells about three Jews who had clothing stores side by each. One morning there ap- peared gigantic banner across the face of one of the stores: Clearance Sale; all goods B 1-3 uer cent below cost"
 Presently along came one of the other Jews, and saw the sign. He rushes into his store and in few minutes had big banner across the front of it, reading: "Fire Sale; all goods sold below cost"
 Just after this along came the third | Jew, owner of the middle store. He | saw the signs and tore his hair in | rage. He tried to think of some | scheme to meet competition and, fail ng in that, almost had convulsions. | Then his young son had brilliant | dea, and in a few moments had banner in place over the front door, "Main Entrance"
 John M. Clark, referring to Major darben's story in this column last week about the man in Colorado, who ite all but one of the democrats in a certain county, recalled an incident, which he says is true, about Nor non boy.

 In course of time he was arrest ed. He demanded trial by jury. He told his story to the court and jury, and the latter brought in a verdict declaring the stealing of the saddle larceny in self-defense," acquitting the defendant.

Douglas s. Roome overheard a young lady from Kansas ask young lady from Texas the other day what the black paint mark on the curb a short distance from each corner meant.
 The young lady from Texas ex- plained that that is how Flagstaff keeps the score to show how far the last lamp-post was knocked. In his trembling paw he softly held
 A hand that was somewhat .hy.. "Only one," he murmured softly,
 With pleading, tear-dimmed eye. That "one" meant life to his stranded
 soul,
 Just lonely heart to fill-- But alas, he drew the six of spades,
 So the poor stiff's stranded still.

An Oriental paper, having an Eng fish section, printed the following mo- tice:
 "The news of English we tell the latest. Writ in perfectly style ano most earliest. Do murder commit, we hear and tell it. Do mighty chief die, we publish it and in bord- CTS sombre. Staff has each one been colleged and write like the Kipling and the Dickens. We circle every town and extortionate not for adver- tisements."
 What did Little Ego do during the war? He was superintendent of a home for the grass widows of draft evaders.
 County Attorney Frank M. Gold has puzzled so long over the follow ing communication that he wants someone else to take try at it:
 Dear Sir: A mans wife dies at Indianapolis, Ind, her husband is ex- ecutor of will she leaves her hus- bands sister who made her home with the woman that died whose hus- band was his sister whose name was on the will that left him all of her es- tate. Is the will legal with the hus- bands sisters name on it witness to the will it seems like she is an in terested party as the will is made to her brother, who is executor of the will"

Bladensburg road, one of the main
highways connecting Maryland and
the District, will not be resurfaced

greater than the sum available, but
the city heads decided to repair this
highway by day labor.
The first time the Commissioners
sought bids for Rladensburg road not

the project was readvertised and. al.
though bids were received, none OF
, them was within the amount allotted

KITCHEN BLAZE FATAL
TO MRS. MINNIE A. REID
Woman Probably Ignited Dress as
She Was Preparing to Light
Gas Stove in Home.

Mrs. Minnie A. Reid, sixty three
years old, 1912 I'd street, was burned
to death in the kitchen of her home
yesterday. She was unconscious when
her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Springer,
went to her assistance.
It is thought Mrs. Reid's dress ig-
nited while she was preparing to
light a gas stove. She was in such a
condition that a physician. who was
summoned, concluded it would be
useless to take her to a hospital. She
lived only short time after the ac-
cident-
Coroner hewitt viewed the body. He
gave a certificate of accidental death.
