BY this use that work is doubly done!
They have the hand OF Miss Loie

of all. The fingers are slender. Held
straight together, the hand is artis-
tic, the two middle fingers being very
long. But the moment the fingers
come square across and even-which
is called the practical hand!
They have, also, the most beautiful

Boone, after whom the hill and ridge
are named The hill upon which the
house stands was called Stony Hill.
Mr.. Boone owned about 900 acres of
land in that vicinity and was a large
Shareholder, Brooke Berry being a
chattel of his at one time.
About 1850 he sold the estate to
George Brown, who, with his son,
John NJ Brown, and nephew, Wilfred
Marshall, owned it, respectively, un-
til 1880. since which time it has been
owned by divers other persons. 1t
is at present GS9D owned by a syn

into villas. and the streets are to
conform to those of Washington.
One street passes through the old
mansion, which is now occupied by

fact, the house was used as head
quarters by the officers. New York,
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania troops
manned the fort at different times.
and Mrs Steever, who is now a very
old lady, likes to talk about the jolly
time they used to have during the
war"
Remember that the neighborhood
of which Mr.. Simmons wrote in 1891
was at and near Fort Meigs, in the
angle Of the road from Benning and
Alabama avenue, then called Ridge
road Part of that section is now
the village of Bradbury Heights
Walking from Fort Meigs toward
Good Hope, Mr.. Simmons wrote:

Fort Dupont was bought by the Dis
trict and turned over to the War De-
partment as part of the plan for
preserving forts and fort sites, and
five years ago was loaned by the War
Department to the District as a tree
nursery. Clifford Lanham, superin-
tendent of parks and parking, has

There is a neighborhood story that
Mr.. Brown had a 30-foot boa con-
suictor, which followed him around
the place and may still be seen in
the woods nearby. knowing the way
that stories, fish and snakes grow,
the Rambler believes that Mr.. Brown
had pet blacksnake about feet
long and an inch thick. Continuing,
George Simmons wrote:
Not far from Fort Dupont, in the
direction of Good Hope and on the
right of the road in the midst of a
large peach orchard, is the pleasant
country place which was once the
home of Sayles ]. Bowen. A few hun
dred yards west of Fort Davis is the
entrance gate to Mr.. Havener's coun-
try place. His residence was de-
stroyed by fire a couple of years ago"
With the assistance of George Sim

Back in Great Neck.
by RING LARDNER.

TO the editor: I suppose every
body is dying to know what has
took place lately around the old
homestead. Well in the 1st place
we had a democratic convention in
New York and when I finally got
home from same the kiddies was cal
ling me mister not knowing who
was it
The convention was what might
be termed a bowling success and
everybody was in on the bowling.
Four years from now they will prob
ably be some more national political
conventions but you won't hear about
no great efforts on the part of the
cities of Cleveland and New York to
have them hold there respectively.
Well when it was all over / moved
back home and who should be train
ing for fight right up on the hill
but Georges Carpenter known as the
greek god. Georges was training at
the home of Jack Curley and one
day we got invitation to come over
and spend the afternoon as Georges
was going to learn the ladies of
Great Neck how to reduce.
Well practically all the ladies' OF
Great Neck was present at the lesson
and long before the end of the after
| noon they was all reduced Per
sonally I did not half to pay much
| attention to the instructions as the
two conventions had took 16 pounds
off of me.
The next event on our social pro-
gramme was when two stage stars
come out to spend the Sabbath, one
of them being Beatrice Lille, the
star OF Charlot's revue, and the
other one was Winifred Lenihan, who
played Joan of Arc in NIr. Shaws
play, and Miss Lenihan thought that
they should be picture taken OF
Miss Lille standing alongside of our
COW to show the contrast SO Miss
Lenihan tried to move our COW. which
is no small chore. and before she
was u through with the job we had
to call for help from our retinue OF
servants.
Well the next event was that / had
two nieces visiting here from Mich
igan aged eleven and seven and one
day they decided to put on the play
OF Oliver Twist assisted by my kid
dies. John played Fagin and his
makeup was composed of a beard
which was nothing more or less than
that portion of his manmas hair
which had been bobbed. My reco!-
| lection of Fagin is that his beard
was red, but that did not seem to
make no difference to John.
The climax of the play came when
Jimmy, who wasN playing the part
| of oliver. was adopted by Rose
Maley's mother or whoever adopted
him and her line was Il am going to
make you my own son." and he re
piled: Hot dog"

ed charades and a sister of mine that
come along to take care or her two
nieces gave one which was as fol-
/ lows:
/ This is a three syllable word
which is proper name of the
heavyweight pugilistic champion OF
| the world. The first syllable is Jack
The second syllable is a swear word.
And the third syllable is the plural

After we had all failed. Miss
Lille guessed that the name could
be none other than Jack Dempsey.

TO ANCIENT EGYPTIANS

SAN FRANCISCO May 3-Alaska's
tribes of Eskimos are not related to
the American Indians, as many per-
sons suppose, but are lineal descend
ants to King Tut and the early Egyp-
tians.
This is the information brought
back to San Francisco by Arthur Eide
Alaska missionary, who has spent sew
eral years studying the manners and
customs of the squat denizens Of the
Far North.
Rev. Eide has returned to San Fran
cisco to write and lecture about the
Eskimo. He was in Alaska when the
chamber of commerce trade excursion
went there from San Francisco.
my studies among the Alaska ma
tives convinces me of their Egyptian
origin" he said. "They were one Of the
active but peaceful tribes and migrat-
ell from Egypt probably because OF
their dislike of war. From Egypt they
touched on the coast of France and
reached Alaska eventually by way of
Denmark, Norway and Iceland.
''The carving on their totems, their
symbols of the generative principle,
and many other evidences exist to
show the relation between the Eskimo
and the early Egyptian"

LATE FATHER WHALEN
WAS AUTHOR OF WORDS
TO SONG, THE ROSARY

BOULDER, Colo, Ma y3-The late
Father Thomas Whalen, of Chicago,
was the author of the words Of the no.
ted song, "The Rosary" which gener-
ally is credited to Robert Cameron
Rogers, friends of Sister Mary Emily,
of Mount st. Gertrude academy sis
ter of the Rev. Father Whalen, de-
clared here last night following Sister
Mary Emily's funeral.
Friends of Sister Mary Emily said
the words of the song were written by
Father Whalen when he was attend
ing a Catholic university at Washing
ton d. c., in memory of his younger
sister, who became Sister Mary CAMS
STA and who died at Mt. Carmel, Dub
uque, Ia, in 1895
Father Whalen according to their
story submitted the words annGny-
mously to the Washington Post. mir.
Rogers, however, they said, clipped
the words from the Post and sent them
to Ethelbert Nevin, the composer, who
fashioned the melody.
Nevin, thinking Rogers the writer
Of the words, credited him with the au-
thorship.
Sister Mary Emily was the last of
her family. Father Whalen died in
Chicago in 1908.
