Thunder Drives Worms out.

1t is thunder that causes so many
worms to be seen on the ground after
a hard rain. They leave the ground
on account of the vibration caused by
the thunder. They are never seen eX-
cept after an unusually hard thunder
storm. The thunder does it; not the
rain. Down here, where we would
rather fish than eat, If you ask ma
tive about getting his bait he will tell
you that he is going to fiddle 'em
out" or "saw 'em out" He drives
stout piece of plank down in the
ground foot and half or two feet,
and then takes heavy piece of
plank and draws it across the top
of the pieces driven in the ground for
n few minutes, causing vibration of
the ground, and all the worms within
a radius of several feet will come
out in hurry. OF course, this will
not make the worms appear where
there are no worms, but IL any one
doubts this statement all they have
to do is to get their fishing tackle out
and try it.-J. w. Ganter in Path

Today there are two former presidents

living here and either earning their

SO far as the widows of former gov

part of resident society is made up OF
them. One widow of president tried
to set precedent for Washington
residence. When James Madison died
his widow, Dolly" as her intimate

Some Noted Widows There.
Mrs. John A. Logan, widow Of the
major general of the Federal army in
the Civil war and later United States
senator, resided in Washington from
the time her husband died until her
own death a few months ago. Mrs.
Logan not only had an active part in
civic work and benevolent work In
Washington, but she wrote widely
upon subjects of public interest. Mrs.
George e. Pickett, widow Of the IA
nous Confederate officer who led the
charge of Gettysburg. has resided In
Washington for years. She was mar
rled when she was only sixteen years
old. her husband being many years
her senior. She is taking an active
part In Washington life, official and
social.
Mrs. John B. Henderson, wife of
former United States senator from
Missouri, has lived in Washington
every since 1865. She is still inter-
ested in everything pertaining to cap
ital city life. Under her direction GER
tilted. She is recognized even in her
advanced years as one of the leaders
in general Washington activities.
Men who serve in congress for n
great many years and who then resign
or who are forced out of office by the
changes in political conditions, SEEM
ingly become so fond of the city as a
residence place that those of them who
leave it to go back home do so with
extreme reluctance. They are con-
stantly revisiting the scenes of their
legislative activities.
oId-Timers Who Like Washington.
Chauncey NJ. Depew of New York
is nearly ninety years old, but he
comes to Washington frequently to
visit the capitol, to call upon the
President and to accept dinner invita-
tions to the houses of old-time Wash
ington friends.
Senator Nathan B. Scott of West
Virginia lives in Washington. The
widow of Senator Stephen b. Elkins
of the same state has made this city
her home ever since the death of her
husband. The widow of John Hay and
the widow of II. r. Hit chose to re-
main here after their husbands had
died
Former representatives in congress
who are living ana working here are
almost past the numbering. Congress
always is made up largely of lawyers.
Most of the former representatives
who are here are engaged in law prac-
tice They are familiar with all the
workings of government, and it is
said that their practice. especially in
claims cases, is large.
Woodrow Wilson was the first for
mer president of the United States to
remain in Washington after leaving
the White House.
President Taft moved away after
his term of office had expired, but he
came back, of course, when he was
named as chief justice OF the United
States.
