Col. Ilromwell In submitting his es

Whlto Homo during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1910, set the figure at
J 00,000, or IIC.OOO moro than the cur

That means that I1S.000 will bo at
tho disposal of tho new mistress next
summer. Inasmuch as tho appropria

July 1 must all bo passed before
March 4, n mere nod from tho new
first lady of tho land. If sho has any
particular Idea of how things should
bb done, will bo sufficient to get moro
money for her, oven It her husband
has not been Inducted Into olTlce.
With I1C.000 to start with, tho new
first lady will bo able to get now
dishes If sho does not llko the kind
used by tho Hoosevctt family, and
probably havo tho wall coverings In
soveral of tho rooms changed. In a
pinch It might bo mado to cover the
cost of a few bits of furniture to take
tho plaro of tho ugly stuff In tho cast
room.
During the first year of a new fam

now furniture and maintenance runs
up to about 11,000 a week.

The doctor went fishing early In
tho morning nnd returned to tho Island
with 22 alblcoro, Whllo at lunch uear
Iho wharf half a dozen hungry seals
appeared on tho quiet surfaco of tho
bay nnd In a moment they wore strug
gling furiously to got aboard his
launch. Defending his catch with n
broom handle, tho doctor succeeded In
getting his launch to tho pier, but the
seals wcro not yet beaten nnd ro
nowed their nttnek moro savagely
than before, attempting to snap his
legs and arms and trying to throw
themselves Into tho boat.
An old blind seal rocerCy brought
to Avalon from West Lulu park, Los
Angeles, led tho attack. Thr doctor
struck It across tho faco a dozen
times before It dropped Into tbt water.
Klnally, when JUBt about exhausted,
tho doctor dropped four big fish over

these, help arrived nnd tho doctor got
away with !ho rest of his catch.
