DON'T STICK TOO BLAMED HARD, j
AS DID CHARLEY. J
\
No Doubt the Ladies Were Awful, j
But the Court Had Other
Business. '
Tt is a had thing to talk too much: and <
even if one is on the side of law. justice '
and order, it is wiser to sit still tlian to j
; try to conduct a regular gabfest on the <
witness stand. That is what Charley J
Webster, colored, can think over for two

Charley whs a witness for the prosecution
in the Police Court this morning in
' the ease against Mamie Thomas, Utile *
Thomas, Mary Butler anil Julie Evans,
colored, Ajl these ladies were arrested ,
last night, after many drinks ot' gin and ?
beer, and after they had painted K street
up in Georgetown red. Charley knew he ,
had it on them, and leaned confidentially
over the witness stand, and feeling a glow *
of righteous indignation that one always
has when he is in the right, began hit#
story:
"Vo* see. jcdge. me and that big Thomas
gal. we always has had trouble, and I
ios' don' care if she goes to jail fo' six
years "
P.ut that is not evidence, and the judge ,
told him f*?. ?
"Well. salt, yo" honoh. as I wuz savin" ?
las' night, if Ah ever gets my hands on ?
dat Thomas gal. Ah" 11 heat her *'
Back Up, Charlie! ]
"But the judge told him to back up and <
try again. And back up he did. two or ?
three times. Each time he had so much
froth, so to speak, to blow off of the real ,
stuff which the judge wanted as evidence. ?

ladies, for lie mailed into them hard, and ?|
if it had not been for the presence of the oj
ladies' friends in court he would have
told their real names.
However, by the time lie had told it *j
all four and a half times, in spite of the *j
judge's warning him to stop and get back "j
on the track, he was led away to the J
little iron pen himself, a sadder and no .3
doubt a. wiser man. He may be adjudged ,3
in contempt of court for not shutting up .?
when the judge told him to. hut In- let '
that Thomas girl know what he thinks of
her. !

NEAR-DESPERADO IN QUAD. I]
*1
South Washington's Roughest ?
Character in Seclusion Now. ?j
Willi*- Smith, "heavy desperado of South *3
Washington'' when in his cups, was hal- J
ed before Judge Kimball in Police Court *j
this morning charged with assault, de- *j
stroying private property and disorderly J,
conduct. 4
He was adjudged guilty. In default of
fines aggregating $i?o he was committed ?
to the workhouse for a total of six *|
months. *j|
Smith acquired a regular Kentucky *3:
mountain thirst last night and to quench *3j
it proceeded to the saloon of Chauncy ,3>
Lee Brant on Virginia avenue southwest. .J
Brant stood for the drinks and some near
oratorical effects. Personalities, however,
were insufferable, and Smith was ?
hustled toward the front door with V
Brant's grip on the slack of a rather #j<
baggy pair of trousers.
Hustling was a thing to he expected * '
and borne at times, according to Smith,
mil int* iiiHTiiifi i v i whm 11 11 v\ tuifled
his pride. A handy brick went hurd- .J.
ling through one of Brant's windows, fol- ??<
lowed by a few,more. *5
There wasn't much to it after that. Po- ?i
licemen Spruce and Kite of the fourth ?(
precinct came along and forwarded Smith "jf
to the station house. j

ADJUSTABLE FLOWER BOX.
*j
Has Telescoping Parts, So That It *1
Will Fit Different Windows. jj
f The city family, moving about from .]
"< place to piace, may have a set of floral \
window boxes which will adapt 'hem- J
selves to any surroundings;- that is to J
]
? say. a window box used for one window y
' does not need to be discarded because it *<
. wiil not fit the windows of the new domi- ?jj
' cilc. but may be taken along with the y
|
1 : J j
r>s* of -,;. > chattels and made to do duty ]
withou; the least sacrifice of appearances. ]
The picturesque effect of a window box is ^
alwa\s the h. tter for neatly filling the *j
space bctwt en the upright portions of *j
the frame. and the usual method of ac- *]
complishing this is to have the boxes *1
ipade for the p'aces they ar>- designed to J
till. The new box is made of sheet metal ,<
and of two parts, one flanged to the J
other and capable of being locked at any i
point, so it will completely fill any space ;
between three feet ahd six. which is a !
range which will take in almost any win- *j
dow. When one of these boxes is tilled *j
the overhanging plants and vines so *j
completely cover it that the mechanical *j
features of the box, which might be a 1
source of objection, are completely hid- *5

A Nomadic Piece of Land. *5
From tlie tinting Magazine. J
\s I said. Cape Cod itself is sand, and !
like every tiling of a desert nature is *J
nomadic. I.ikc the Arab, it is always J
silently stealing away, so that the appear- <
anoe of the peninsula constantly changes *!
The prevailiing winds in the winter be- ?;
ing from the north, the sand is blown
south; in summer it is blown t'other *1
wav, b'H. me wittier winns neing stronger.
the land is graduaJlv working south.
Monomoy at the lower en<J used to lie an ;
island, its extremity being called Cape ?j
Malabar, a name not used now. Why, I *j
cannot say. This island of Monomoy is *<
rapidly growing toward Nantucket, it *\
having advanced some live miles in the *
last fifty years. One of the Rubes told *!
ne that his father used to fish where j
th.e light is now. Of course you can J
always strain Rube talk and pick out <j
about fifty per cent tfedlment, hut the old ?j
shafts show that the point is working ?i
south fast. <1

Mister and Monsieur.
Front the London Chroulcle. t
The complaint that postmen are not al- <
lowed officially to he written to or of as
"Mr." recalls the attempts that have been made
to show that few of us are really
entitled to that prefix. "Master." it Is t
contended, was originally a form of ad- ]
dress restricted to people of a certain
standing, and has been cheapened even
as "Esquire." But the case is not well '
made out. It is only clear that "Master"
was once markedly respectful, and In the j
form "Mister" has become common property.
while "Master" itself, curiously, has (
become confined to boys. At any rate '
the fall has not been so great as in the i
case of the French "Monsieur-." At one ?
time even a sair.t was spoken of as (
"Monsieur St. Jean"; under the early I
Valois the king was "Monsieur" In pub- '
lie documents; and later it became the ti- 1
, tie of the king's younger brother. Nowa- <
davs "M." ia merely on a level with t
,( '"Mr." . / l<

In reality we found there was one of the
highest ranges of mountains in the whole

only with the Himalayas and their kind.
Capt. O'Connor suspected their existence
by hearsay. The chain known as Nln
Chen Tangla. which is situated south of
the Tengri Nov. was well known and had
been crossed by Littledale and several
others, but no one knew that this chain
Btretched for close upon twelve hundred
miles to the west-northwest, as I now discovered.
It is a certainty that It also
stretches to the east, and has a total
length of about 2,000 miles. The average
height of the passes is some few hundred
meters higher than in the Himalayas and
about the same as in the Kara, korum
and Arkataugh.

earth's surface, the Tibetans have no
name for Its whole length. Countless local
names are given to the various parts
of It. As the range will in future have to
be included not only in a knowledge of
the world, but also In the school books, it
becomes necessary for it to have a name,
and so far as I can see it would be best
to keep to the name by which Its highest
point is already known, viz.: Nln Chen
Tangla. It sounds strange, when one considers
how thoroughly the world has been
explored, that in the year 1907 it should
be vouchsafed to any one practically to"
discover a range of mountains 2.0uo miles
long, and the surprise of the discovery is j
intensified rather than diminished "by
the fact that here and there the country
traversed was already known. And let
us remember that such a discovery cannot
be made again, for there is no blank

service, attaching less Importance to thetr
