There are very few people in the
city who are not affiliated with some
organization, social, commercial or
fraternal. Some of these organizations
are more or less obscure, though none
the less important In the lives OF
those who devote mental energy to
their welfare.
There are Monday morning clubs and
Tuesday afternoon clubs, and Friday
evening clubs, each Of which plays
a part in the lives Of persons who
might socially starve without it. Every
club or other organization has among
its membership those without whom
enthusiasm would wane and perhaps
die.
Occasionally drives are made for new
members or efforts exerted for the pun
pose of building a new clubhouse. Com
mittees are appointed for this and that,
and q night is specified for get-to-

water should be soft, the CASTLE soap

melting them in hot water. Use the
lather twice, rinse and use either the
Juice of half a lemon in the final rinse

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July Is, 1861~-Fairfax Court House,
Va, was occupied today by the Union
troops, which marched from Washing
ton yesterday under command Of Gen.
Mcdowell. Col. BurnSide's brigade was
FIRST to enter the town, according to
dispatches received here this afternoon.
This brigade includes Maine, Rhode
Island and New Hampshire regiments.
Col. Burnside's troops marched along
the Little River turnpike and reached
the town about IL o'clock this morning
They were delayed altogether about
three hours by distractions in the road
left by the secession commander, Gen.
Beauregard, such as pits, felled trees,
etc. The most formidable of these OBJ
structions was in front of position
occupied by one of Beauregards bat
teries. Nearby we're recently extin-
guished camp fires, indicating that body
of about 200 dis-Union troops spent last
night there.
Gen. Mcdowell and his staff were
with Burnside's brigade. Gen. Nc
Dowell pushed ahead and was first to
enter the town of Fairfax Court House
after the advance guard.
The secession flag was found flying
from the venerable courthouse. Nearly
every white person of both sexes had
fed from the town. Everything indi-
Gated that the last of the dis-Union
troops had left only about two hours
before the Union advance guard
entered.
Apparently the last of the dis Union
troops waited until they heard a signal
gun fired by Gen. Tyler's Union COL
umn, giving notice of his occupation of
Germantown. That informed them
that their position at Fairfax Court
House had been outflanked on their
left, and that it was time to leave
quickly, unless they wished to be cap
tured or to fight against overwhelming
numbers.
Gen. Beauregard retreated in the d.
rection of Manassas by way of Center
vile, where the seceSSioniSts have strong
entertainments.
Among the first acts of the Union
troops was to take down the secession
flag on the building so often visited by
George Washington when he attended
court at his county seat. The Stars
and Stripes were run up over the
courthouse.
Col. Heintzleman'S command occupied
Fairfax Station, about three and one
half miles south of the courthouse,
about O'Clock this evening. He found
entertainments there which had been
lately abandoned by the dis-Union
troops. A part Of Heintzleman troops
advanced two or three miles farther
south along the Orange e. Alexandria
Railroad, half way to Union Mills.

Camp Clothes and Sports Fashions.

and narrower. Camp clothes, as pre-
scribed by the important girls camps,
are made of substantial materials, but
in general outline they are not so very
different from the clothes that girl
would choose for sportswear at any re-
sort. Certainly they are no briefer, no
more comfortable, no more informal.
Among the most useful additions to
the late Summer sports outfit is the
new double breasted yachting jacket
that is worn buttoned smartly down
the front or left hanging straight open
down the front. Made of navy blue
knitted material, 1t may be used as an
adjunct for the sleeveless, low-back
tennis frock or worn for actual yacht
ing or boating.
Certainly there has been little liking
for the longer skirt for sportswear this
Summer, and one wonders whether the
younger generation, who have worn
sports clothes for almost all occasions
all Summer, will take up with any sort
of enthusiasm the fashion for longer
skirts when it presents itself I'm the
Autumn.

Season of clouds, proud as the gall

incredible dragonflies. Season when
the birds retire away to moult, but the
watchful buzzard hovers over the

accidents in nature. Full Summer tide.
And now, in the watery lanes Of the
runs and creeks, the tidal creeks and
the wind-swirled, shallow. brown farm
pools, the arrowhead begins to bloom.
and dearly love each year to see it
once again. For in the frosty white
ness of its petals is something of the
purity Of Springtide; yet in its strange
arroW-shaped leaves, of a dark and
glossy green, is hint, know not why,
of something more than little tropi-
cal, and certainly very Summary and
opulent.
I have never seen any one bother to
pick the flowers of the arrowhead: 1
have not seen it planted in water gar
dens; I never have read a poem ex-
tolling it.
To me it is one of the loveliest Of
our wildhowers, and that 1t springs
from the mud enhances the glistening
purity of its petals.
] think I am right IN stating that the
rootstocks of some species of arrowhead
were eaten by the Indians, but I am far
from suggesting that anybody repeat
the experiment rashly. 1 believe it is
also correct that the arrowhead be-
longs to very ancient type of flower,
commoner perhaps when much of the
world was steaming marsh, end ma
ture had just begun to experiment in
flowers, and so far had made only
simple forms.
Besides five common species Ct ar
rowhead, and one common cousin, the
water plantain. there are some extreme
ly rare species, which any one could
do a favor to science by redIscover!ng.
One species, at the mouth Of Oxon
Run, has not been looked into since
August 18, 1890; another. in a swampy
pasture near Ardwick, Md, was last
seen October 8, 1899. A very strange
plant called Lophotocarpus, much
sought by botanists, and closely re-
lated to arrowhead, grows, or grew
once, in tide mud below the Navy Yard
And what has become of a curious
plant, common In the Mississippi VAL
ley, called Echinodorus, seen IN Au-
gust, 1900, on mud fats below Chain

4 Sermon for Today
Joyful Worker.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text: "Ye shall rejoice in all that
We put your hand unto. "-Deut xiii.
Many good piece of work is done
with a sad heart" said George Eliot.
Matthew Arnold embodies the same
thought in these lines:
Tasks in hours of insight willed
May be in hours Of gloom fulfilled"
There are many who are compelled to
go to their work with sad and heavy
hearts: yet they work faithfully and
efficiently and do good work. But. as
a general rule. the joyful worker is the
best worker. AS another writes, There Is
nothing more unfavorable to efficient
or successful work than dependency
or sadness. A joyless workman is sell
dom a good workman: he does not
work vigorously, he has no pleasure in
his work, and consequently he Is very
likely to tire Of It,"
Light-heatrednesS makes ones work
a delight instead of drudgery. Glad
ness in the heart increases ones clear
ness of mind and adds strength to his
arm. IF the arm is to smite with
vigor," says DR.. Maclaren, '1t must
smite at the bidding Of calm and
light heart"
I'VE shall rejoice in. all that We put
your hand unto" Here is the secret
Of the efficient workman. He puts his
whole heart into his work and enjoys
1t. This makes his work easier and
makes it easier for him to- conquer his
difficulties
If your work seems dull, that does not
necessarily mean that you are in the
wrong work. A dull heart will make
any work seem dull. More likely what
you need is not a change Of work. but
a change of mind and heart. The whole
situation will be different if you will
learn to be a joyful worker.

no objection to your wearing the hats
that you want. only this hat will have
to be worn every day and am afraid
it will get so dirty you will be ashamed
to be seen in it. If you did not scorn
the hat picked out for you for every
day you could keep this for Sunday
and I think then your choice would be
excellent. But keep the hat hung up
when you are not wearing it and it may
keep clean longer than think"
Claire had the grace to be ashamed
of her TRADE. But she did not keep
her hat hung up. It rolled round the
floor, getting dirtier by the minute.

s'Reg'Iar FeIlers'' Who Became Great
Only Fourteen Andrew Jackson Refused Shine Britsher
Boots and Received Sabre Gut
BY J. p. GLASS.

Camden surprised the band and scat
tered it. Andy and Robert escaped
through the woods and took refuge in
a relatives house. But a Tory neigh
Dor promptly betrayed their hiding
place.
The dragons who now captured them
took them before their commanding
officer, subaltern. When he saw that
his prisoners were two mere boys, he
laughed contemptuously.
Andy Jackson, facing for the first
time representative of his majesty
George III, was chargrined but defiant.
With Robert he waited for the worst,
which he expected would be execution.
He was aStonished when the officer
spoke. 1t was to say superciliously:
There are my jack-boots spattered
with mud. Clean them"
Andy Jackson, his thin frame shak-
ing with anger, exploded.
"We'n see you in hell FIRST" he
shrilled.
The Britisher lost his head and
swung a saber blow at the boy. Andy's
left hand few up, but too late. From
that day he carried great scar across
his head.
A blow felled Robert to the floor.
Bleeding, half stunned the boys were
carried off to Camden and thrust into
prison; dismal place where food was
lacking and smallpox reigned. BY the
time they were freed through an ex-
change of prisoners, Robert was dying
and Andy was desperately Ill.
Already the iron that was to make
him a stern, unbending man had sunk
into his soul.

Keeping Fit.

Every one these days seems to be
looking for short cuts and quick re-
suits. Girls write to me asking how
they make their shorn tresses grow out
in a few weeks. Others want to know
how to gain or lose weight Immediately
and how to develop or reduce by
particular date Still others expect
magic remedy for clearing up in few
days skin troubles that have been de-
veloping for years.
The main reason why beauty prob
lens oftentimes respond slowly to
treatment is, I believe, because they
are usually due to more than one cause.
Besides their more or less obvious
cause (such as mistaken cleansing
methods or wrong choice Of food or
sedentry habits there Is often an I'M
DERIVING factor, namely, q general lack
of physical fitness. The skin and hair
may be receiving the very best external
care, but If the health is not up to par,
improvement will be slow and uncer-
tain.
One Of the things that contribute
most to lack of physical fitness is con-
stipation. Fortunately the remedy for
1t Is not far to seek. In no condition
is exercise surer in its results than in
the treatment of this common disorder
OF course there are cases In which
other remedies are preferable, but the
average case will respond quickly to
exercise.
Why does exercise help so materially
in the cure of one of beautys worst
enemies? First, because it stimulates
the circulation. Second, because 1t
affects the intestines. Thirdly, is causes
deeper breathing, thus causing the dia-
phragm to massage the digestive organs
Fourtllly. exercise stimulates the flow
of secretions Of pancreas, liver and in
testines. Two additional reasons why
one should resort to exercise rather
than the use of cathartics are because
exercise strengthens the muscular tone
and because Of stimulation Of the
nerves.
Here are some special exercises for
those whose beauty problems grow out
of constipation. They are given in de-
tail with several other in Lillian Drews
