Tho mnn spoko "United StnteV bin Inngunge nnd tone, iih well no his stylo of dross, showing hltn to be nn educated, pretty well-set-up man. Senator Kern looked nt the mnn nnd hesltntcd Just n second, puzzled to know whether the nmn wnx making eninc of 111 tti or whether he did not know It was the United States cnpltol. Presently he replied with n critical smile, "That Is the United States capltol." The mnn noted the smile and resented It at once. "Well, I do not see any sign on the building to dcslgnntc whnt It Is." Senator Kern Instantly replied, "No, they, take the flgn down In hot weather, It warps." Is there n man, woman or rlilld In the United States who has not nt tome time or other seen In pictures the great white dome of the United States cnpltol? Once seen It could not possibly bo forgotten. There is not another thins like It In the world, and that any human being would not recognize tho Washington monument or the United States capltol building upon sight Is utmost too Incredible for belief. Hut Senator Kern tells this story, so whnt arc you going to do about It? One of the very beat Aldermen In the City Council, la Edward F. Culler Ion, He has been longest In the public service of any membor of the City Council nnd his usefulness to the peo ple has been demonstrated over and over again. Clarence S. Dnrrow Is always the friend of the poor and tho downtrod den and no one stands higher at the bar. Popular Jack Henderson would make a good member of the State Board of Equalization, Frank J. Hogun, the popular and well-known lawyer, would make a One Municipal Judge. George W. Paullln, the great fur rier, has made a buslneaa record for honesty and Integrity that wins for him hosts of friends. Judge Thomas T.

Washington Folk Rediscover the Potomac River FROM one standpoint the prolonged session of the Sixty-fourth congress hns only been proline of things political, but It hns also servetT to glvo Wash-' Ington a place In tho hearts of n large number of transient residents only to be gained during tho midsummer month". The river for water sports, tho lino parks nnd country roads for driving, country clubs and roof gar dens, both private nnd public, nnd numerous delightful places for dining nl fresco nre nil revelations to those, who see the capital only In its mid winter or early spring aspect. Not even by tho greatest stretch of the Imnglnntlon could ono cnll Washington n watering place, or even a summer resort, but slnco tho redis covery of tho Potomac river through tho beautiful drives nnd walks estab lished along Its bnnks, the capital ncod no longer bold terrors for thoso who must remain within the ten-mile limit of tho pistrlct. No less a personage than President John Qulucy Adams waded through the marshes and tangled grass to the banks of the Potomac for an early morn ing dip, while the Haute Interesting proceeding Is recorded of President Taylor. Today one meets high nllkinls bent upon tho samu errand, nnd almost at tho same hour of the morning Just about seven o'clock. Tho secretary of mate nnd Mrs. Lansing are Investigating tho charms of the municipal bathing pool with covetous eyes, and Mrs. Lansing longs to try nut the skill acquired (luring the winter months nt the natatnrluin nn Cnpltol Hill. Senator and Mrs. Morris Sheppard can tell you Just exactly whero to And iho best spot In the pool for strlklug.nut, or n dive, or Just merely to tnko it easy and Hunt. Often their companions In tho pool arc Ilenrcsentntlvo nnd 'Mrs. Nicholas Longwnrth. both of whom love the water and are expert swim mure; or .Mr. nnii airs, minis uny, son mm iinugnier-in-inw or air. jusuco uny, or lli-prcscntntlve William P. Horland. The various pools and hiisln arc so conveniently located that tho wonder Is that society folk have not long ago found I hem out. Colonel Harris had personally to conduct some of the parties to tho very water's edgo beforo ho j could convince them what a treat was In store for lliem. A whole cabinet family of enthusiastic swimmers Is that of tho secretary .of war nnd Mrs. linker, who often take a pi lingo twice n day. They have nn 'Ideal pool at In the Woods, tho Kalrchlld country place they leased for tho Mimmer, and It Is supplied from nn artesian well, the water of which Is so clear that ono may see the bottom of tho pool.

Dow B. Lewis would make a gord County Commissioner. Judge Edward T. Glennon, the well known railroad lawyer, Is respected by bench, bar and public. What Uncle Sam's Expert on Charred Money Does MANY thousnnds of dollars are saved nnnunlly for tho good, hut often careless, people of these United Stntes by Mrs, Amanda B. Brown, tho charred money expert of the treasury department. It Is Mrs. Brown's duty to put together burned nnd cut money when offered for redemption. Many Interesting stories uro told nbout her work. Some years ago, so tho story goes, n farmer, whllo feeding his pigs, dropped n roll of bills, which wns do voured by ono of them. Tho pig was killed nt oneo nnd cut open, nnd tho pulp wns found. This wns sent to tho treasury department, tho pieces put together nnd the money refunded to tho happy farmer. The rules of tho department nre to the effect that If a Mil can ho successfully put together so Hint two-fifths of It nre found, half of tho valuo Is refunded; If three-fifths can bo put together the whole valuo Is refunded, , Not so long ago someone sent a large number of very small bits of a bill to tho department with a statement that they represented $224. b Tho letter 'was accompanied by nu nllhluvlt to that effect. After many days of work on tho part of Mrs. Brown tho hits were put together, and It wan found that they iiuide a complete one-dollar hill. Tho frost line can bo traced through tho United Stntes each autumn, i treasury ofllclnls sny, through this redemption work. Farmers nnd others Imvo n habit of hiding money In their stoves. When they light up for tho winter, tho money Is forgotten until It Is burned, nnd tho nalios and pieces nro sent to tho treasury for redemption. Beginning in tho North, this snmo thing occurs until even the Southern fanner Is turning In his burned money, when lie gets cold enough to light his stove, Each year more than 2,000 such cases nro sent to the department.

The crack of tho rifles Is continuous. Instructors nre kept busy explain ing the gun, tho shoulder hold, tho linger grip, and, most of ull, tho target. Tho big fat man who approaches tho rail with n confident smile nnd bangs unsuc cessfully 20 times, nnd then explains what n wonderful shot ho once had been, Mas there. Tho tall, thin chap, who seems to strain under tho weight of tho' gun and complains of his hnd sight, was also there, He squinted 40 times bo fore pulling tho trigger, just to prove his assertion. Also there wus tho nth-' letle fellow with the bulldog Jaw who went nbout shooting targets as though It was part of his day's work. He took his tlmo and hit tho bull. And, best of all, there wore pretty young girls, anxious to bo Instructed., riio only trouble the Instructors had with them, nfter getting them to hold tho gun, was to convince them that It was Impossible to hold ono's hands oyer cue's ears and lire tho gun nt tho sumo tlmo.

"Don't vhang him, he's a 'moron' shout the reformers," and be Is not hanged.' A mother, and her. babe are killed by a brute. "He it a moron" declare the reformers.
