"The fiivver an the street car
Do not appeal TO us;

This 10 the chorus OF an impromptu
ballad sung by score and ten Of
parentless kiddies as the Washington
Rapid Transit Company bus, In
which they were riding, giided up to
the entrance Of Loew's Columbia
Theater, where they saw Forget

England Bosses Job.
Howard England. the genial traffic
manager of the company, was on
hand every morning marshalling the
busses into place and generally over
seeing the admittedly delicate task
of conveying hundreds Of little lives
through the traffic -jammed streets
of Washington. ...~
"It is well that we can depend on
our drivers" said Mr.. England.
They are all trustworthy-fine, clean,
upright men. I wouldn't be afraid
to put the lives Of any children In
their hands for safekeeping."
The best display made by the
busses was on Thursday. when four
of Mr.. Killeen's squadron brought
130 children from st. Vincent's
Orphanage. Fourth street and Cen.
trail avenue northeast.
That the children enjoyed the rides
to and from the theater is evinced
by the extempore ballad; for while all
Of them did not sing. the sentiment
of the song was expressed otherwise
and loudly otherwise, at that.
Given Candy Treat.
Through the courtesy Of Walter
Brownley and George c. Shaffer,
respectively, the children were pre-

theater, and on each day they were
welcomed by Lawrence Beatus, gen.

Beautiful ST. Helena.

Napoleon Bonaparte drew public at
tention to hitherto little-known is-
innd In mid-Atlantic, almost opposite
the southern extremity of the Portu.
guese settlement Of Angola, next door
to what used TO be German Southwest
Africa. Few Of the general public of
that day knew Of Elba, not far from
Leghorn, where the French emperor
was first sequestered; and when, after
Waterloo, he went to st. Helena peo-
pie looked In vain upon most of the
maps for that tropical dot, with an
area of only AZ square miles and with
but few inhabitants.
After the Boer war the English
turned to st. Helena as safe spot to
send Boer prisoners of war, and so
many thousands were transported
there that the inhabitants Of James
town--the only town then on the island
became suddenly enriched, for Brit
ish soldiers and sailors brought money,
and their prisoners were rarely poor
men.
Next to the Red sea ports along the
African coast st. Helena probably en-
tertains In its waters the greatest ag-
gregation Of sharks in the world, but
the Boer prisoners discovered that
these sharks always slept when the
sun reached the meridian; and many
of these prisoners were rescued by
their friends who brought small ves-
sells, apparently laden with provender,
but steamed rapidly away when their
confederates had swum few yards
from beneath the towering cliffs to
the awaiting boat.
