Navajo Blankets.

1T appears that Navajo blankets were
at first the product of mems hands,
but that the women of the trib. are the
exclusive workers in this industry at
present. Almost the only modern imple-
ments employed in the weaving are the
hand cards wire-toothed combs for the
wool and shears with which to make
cuttings. The frames are made of rude
poles with the beams held in place by
rawhide ropes.
The Indian puts his frames on up
rights, usually Staked and laSheo to a
tree in front OF his hogan" or no1Se
The women do the weaving. Squatted
upon the ground with legs folded under
them. They are close enough to reach
to either side of the blanket or halfway
up. When the work has proceeded to a
height where it is uncomfortable for
them to reach they tilt the loom so that
they may continue in their original po-
sition. The spindle In use is that of a
hundred years ago-a stick through the
center of wooden disk. The work IS
exceedingly slow; an inch or two Is a
days work on the better grades.
The best blankets are made OF fine
native wool, spun to a tension that
makes them almost as durable as steel.
with dyes that last forever. The coarser
grades of blankets have but few fiecks
of color. being usually white, gray or
brown.
The Navajo women display an inter-
esting imagery in their designs. That
imagery is largely confined to the color
scheme, as everything done is copy o.
something that the weavers have seen.

Last Mayor of Capital

honored with the membership of his
son and nameSake, Alexander r. Shop
herd.
DURING the period of the terri
~ torial government the governor
had his Office in the building still
standing at the northwest corner of
Pennsylvania avenue and Seventeenth
street northwest, and here the Board
of Public Works met and organized in
May, 1871.
The territorial government consisted
OF governor, a Board of Public
Works, composed of the governor and
four other persons: a secretary a
Board of Health, Legislative Assem-
bly,, consisting of council of IL men,
bers. and House of Delegates of %
members, and a delegate in the United
States House Of Representatives. OF
these the President of the United States
appointed the governor. the Board of
Public Works. the secretary, the Board
of Health and the council, the House
of Delegates only being elected by the
people. 1t can easily be seen from this
method OF selection that the people of
the District of Columbia had then sub
Stantially no more to say of their own
affairs than they have today, and it is
not surprising that this form was soon
done away with.
Still with us. recalling by-gone
days, Is DR.. William Tindall, who
served the last two Mayors of Washing
ton in an official capacity. and was sec
rotary to Gov. Shepherd. Few are so
well informed on local affairs. He is
still with the District Government,
where he for many years served as
secretary to the Commissioners, the Of
fee now held by Daniel e. GargeS.

You see, for one reason, the town
had grown in different way from what
the early settlers had anticipated. This
rich Edison wanted the new house to
face in the opposite direction from the
old one. So you have the situation of
the big, new house with its front facing
in one direction and its two wings run
ming each side, encompassing the old
house And you have the old house
facing in the opposite direction, but
Joined to the new house on one side
and surrounded by it on three sides.
The new house has its own flower
gardens and orchard, the old house has
its own flower-gardens and orchard.
They are just as much part of each
other as two of its skins are part of

When End of the War Was Near

prisoners who had been caught lurking
in a nearby building. Little menace
from such as these. They were over
joyed to be in American hands.
r X y
IRON the caretaker of the chateau,
= Nine. Maria Hazard, we got a
picture of stormy sessions between the
Kaiser and his heir.
"They quarreled all of the time" she
said, land when they were together at
meal time We could hear their shouts
all over the lower floor. What it was
about I cannot say, because We never
were permitted to go near the royal
pair.
THE crown prince himself was very
well liked by us all. He was a very
seriouS-minded gentleman, always con-
Siderate of every one in the house."
He had occupied a suite of three
rooms on the second floor, overlooking
a garden, but all of his effects had
been removed. Nine. Hazard showed
me a picture of the prince, which he
had given to her. To me it looked
like a vicious caricature, but Mime.
Hazard declared that he liked it.
He had no false pride" she said.
We made notes of our suspicion that
the Kaiser'S heir had made a great
| impression indeed on his French
housekeeper, and prepared to get I'M
der way for the long run back to
Barbecue.
Frequently we came on SQUADS of
non-c ombatant road gangs working in
the depths of the forests, and at least
three of these groups had not heard
OF the ending of the war at o'clock
in the afternoon. They were aware,
of course, that artillery firing had
ceased and had guessed that the finish
had come, but, so far as official COM
munication of the fact was concerned,
they had no knowledge. Most of these
men were from colored regiments, and
as we gave them the details they rest
cd on their picks and ShovelS, grim
ming at each other and at us.
But We were overtaken by darkness
long before We reached Verdun, which
meant that no wire from us would
get out from Barbecue that nif ut
in time to reach New York for the
papers of the 18th. I, however did
not particularly care. for had we gone
back by our original route-which
doubtless would have put us there in
time-we would have missed spec
tacle which stays with me still.
The hills and the valleys of the
Meuse north of Verdun were deep Ill
silence for the first time in four
years. The heavens above them were
Illuminated by peace f1res-red lights,
blue lights. white lights, rockets. bon
fires. We rode slowly along in the still
ness. Occasionally we would come
upon groups of the celebrantS. Dough-
boys, piling log on log, to keep the
fires burning. One crowd of Western
troops had organized an old-fashioned
Indian war dance bending. crouching.
side-stepping. f1inging their arms, and
piercing the air with blood-curdling
Shrieks.
Moving onward from this spot, the
silence became positively depressing.

Turtles Paradise.

MANY turtles are to be encountered
" in South American waters all
along the Orinoco, but upon the island
of Buena Vista nature seems to have
arranged everything for the turtles
convenience. and the number of the
creatures there is very great. The is
land is miles in length and Is sur
rounded by Sloping banks of sand. In
this fine sand the turtles deposit their
eggs, which are Matched out by the
heat of the sun.
Some time in the month of February
thousands of turtles come out upon the
shore of the island as well as upon the
neighboring banks of the river and be-
gin promenading up and down as If
aScertaining whether 1t Is entirely safe
to lay their eggs But they do not
begin laying until March. Then they
dig a number of little holes in the
sand, in which each female deposits
from so to 100 eggs.
The natives declare that the turtles
will not begin to lay their eggs until
the Southern Cross, which Is the char
acteristic object of the armament in
the Southern Hemisphere, is completely
formed-that is, not until the four stars
which form the cross have moved ON
perpendicular to the horizon.
1t is reported by a member of 1ne
exploring expedition in Venezuela that
at midnight, when the turtles were be-
ing watched by the naturalists, The
great mass of the creatures had gone
back into the river without laying,
leaving but few of their companions
behind them to act as SentinelS. But
at 2;3O in the morning, at the moment
when the Southern Cross seemed ex-
actly perpendicular to the horizon. a
great commotion was perceived on
the shore of the river and the turtles
were coming out in battalionS.
They scattered rapidly in every di-
rection. digging up the sand, laying
their eggs and covering them, appar-
emily taking great pains to leave the
surface as they had found it. The
members of the expedition captured
three of these turtles, the shell of one
of which measured IS inches in length
by % in width. It's weight was more
than 81 pounds.
The natives capture large numbers
of the eggs of these turtles, as we'll as
of the creatures themselves, which are
used in the manufacture Of kind Of
OIL
The appearance of the turtles upon
the beach at the apparent moment of
the complete formation of the Southern
Cross on each night during their laying
season is, of course, due to coincidence,
and the superStit1ouS natives connect
the two circumstances just as the an
Gent Egyptians connected the setting
of the constellation Arcturus with the
rising Of the Nile.

w YELL, all know is just what
n read in the papers. Well It's
NM all over, and what relief!
What has it proved? What
has it profited us? We have
gone through the most exciting and
bitter election that we have ever helo
in our history And what's the answer?
Friends have been turned into enemies,
families have been split, husbands nave
choked wives, and wives have attempted
to murder husbands, all because one
wanted one Guy to draw Government
salary and the other member wanted
the other fellow to live easy for the next
four years.
I told you not long ago that the cam
paign lasted only few months but
that it would take two generations to
sweep up the Dirt" l think now that
it's all over and we have chance to
sum up, think was too modest in the
time, it looks like we will be hearing
from this one as long as they keep his
torys in the Libraries.
You will please pardon a Comedian
for lapsing into seriousness. but there
was no more reason for all this religious
CAB, ard all the threats of what would
happen if certain things were brought
about, it could have been run like
State campaign without dragging all
the various things into it that they did.
When you just sit down quietly and
figure it out, no matter which side you
was on, you just got to say that all the
fuss. and all the shooting" was abso-
lutely useless.
We will leave out all the religious end
of it, for we certainly had enough of
that for all time Both sides were
equally TO blame. Then we get to pro-
hibition. What can the winner do about
it? What could the loser do about It?
Neither one can do anything. In fact,
the winner can do as much as the loser.
Here was the vets hollering for Smith,
and at the same time hollering for dry
Congress and Senate, so that he could
make no changes. Now could anything
be more inconsistent than that? II
would be like a manager hireing me to
work on the stage and at the same time
hireing another Actor to keep me from
going on. The whole South wanted Dry
Congressman and Senators. yet they
wanted Smith, who said he would do
his best to get the law changed. Yet
they elect fellows to keep him from
changing it, It just shows what ends

Mrs Tillotson's remark.
THE Edsons lived in that little house
for-oh, a lot of generations. six-or
cight-sixteen-a hundred and thirty
I don't know how many. They were al
ways poor, apparently, for they never
built onto the original structure. And
then. about the time of the Revolution,
the Edison of the period another Daniel
Edison, suddenly got rich. I've always
had a horrid suspicion he was war
! profiteer Naturally, he wanted bigger
house. He made uo his mind to tear
down the little house."
What an outraged" came from Duck.
We'll, he thought better of it. He
didn't tear it down. He built big
house. He wanted to live in it. He
wanted to live in the little house, too
So he thought up great scheme. In
stead of building the big house separate
from the little house, he built it
around it,
Built it around It'll" Dove echoed
What an amusing idea! But 1 don't
understand how"

i've never heard of anythif & life It,"
Dove asserted.
Il never have either" Dan agreed.
Now what I'm getting at is this Ever
since the big house was built. whenever
an Edison got married, he invited his
mother to occupy the little house. In
point of fact. we always cali it-jocular-
iy--the Dover House. have always
thought how nice it would be to have
mother in the Dover House. But I
haven't any mother to ask to live there.
So when Duck and get married. will
you come to live with us. Dove? There
are billions of flowers you can paint"
For an instant, neither woman spoke;
neither could. But Dan, first facing the
gray eyes, saw deep fires blaze so high
that they turned Ducks face to riot
of radiance. And then, meeting the
brown eyes. he saw happy hope on
happy hope burn all sadness out Of
Doves broken look.
