Leonard.
Local Superintendent D. D. Leonard
Is the right man in the right place,
the patrons of the street car company
say. He is ever' alert to giving the
very best service. During the recent
heavy snow storm -he ancT his men
cleared the tracks In a remaikably
short time and did It under disadvant
ages, and Saturday night he took the
precaution to keep one ear running,
the entire night to keep the
tracks from being blockaded by
snow. As the result the cars were In
operation at the usual time next morn
ing and there was no delay or incon
venience to the public. All are
pleased with his efficient management
of the system.

WHERE PEOPLE SEE PEOPLE
V Street In Waahlnsrton la a Pamoiu
Promenade.
"I believe that F street, in Washing
ton, is the greatest place in the world
for people to stroll up and down the
thoroughfare and scan each other," said
a close observer, who has traveled con
siderably, as he himself walked along
the well known street, "i.. seems to be
understood here," he continued, "that
promptly at 4 o'clock, wheu the weath
er is pleasant, there should be a gener
al promenade. If a woman's or man's
dress takes well on F street, it is safe
to say that the attire will pass muster
anywhere. As to the variety of dress?
j well, you may see anything_on F street
from the stylishly dressed millionaire's
| daughter or wife to the schoolgirl.
Many of the upper class of young la
| dies who have carriages at their dis
posal very often dismiss their coacb
| man when shopping on F street and
walk from store to store simply to min
gle with the crowd and get a look at the
other people.
"F street certainly beats all the other
cltlos for this amusement," he said in
conclusion, "and, although I have only
been here a short time, the fever has al
ready struck me, and every day at 4 p.
m. I feel a desire come over me to dress
up and start In at Fifteenth street and
walk along F street and back again."?

A Pretty Dad Imitation.
A certain well known Bostonian Is
an enthusiastic Yale man and In col
lege was a member of the glee club
and was famous for his yodel, which
was fearless and ear piercing. While
on a shooting trip in the west a class
mate in the party, remembering this
accomplishment when It was reported
that the guide was from Switzerland,
said one night aB they were smoking
around the campflre:
"Jack, give us a yodel as you did in
college. The guide will appreciate-it."
And Jack yodeled with a strength
and brilliancy never before equaled at
a concert or "on the fence." After the
air was again at rest and the fright
ened animals afar off had plucked up
courage, enough to stop running, the
classmate said to the guide:
"Pfeiffer, doesn't that make you
homesick?"
And the genuine Switzcr responded,
"No, only sick."?New York Times.
Willow Treea In America.
The weeping willow tree came to
America through the medium of Alex
ander Pope, the poet, who planted a
willow twig on the banks of the Thames
*?t his Twickenham villa. The twig
came to him In a box of flga sent from
Smyrna by a friend who had lost all In
the south sea bubble and bad gone to
that distant land to recoup his fortunes.
A young British officer who came to
Boston with the army to crush the re
bellion of the American colonies brought
with him a twig from Pope's now beau*
tlful willow tree, intending to plant it
in America when he should comforta
bly settle down on lands confiscated
from the conquered Americans. The
young officer, disappointed in these ex
pectations, gave b?s willow twig, wrap
ped in oil silk, to John Parke Custls.
Mrs. Washington's son, who planted it
on his Abingdon estate. In Virginia. It
thrived and became the progenitor of
all our willow trees.
Aalc "Why!"
If boys could learn at school all about
education, that would only leave them
very dull persons. The object of their
education at school Is to give boys men
tal alertness and an eternal curiosity,
and Its real test is" whether it leaves
them always saying to themselves.
"Why?" I do not know whether you
have ever thought about it, but all the
great discoveries of the world have
come because some one has asked that
question. The records of industry show
nothing more clearly than that all real
mental skill depends on asking ques
tions. The answer is sure to follow.
The real mental capacity is not dis
played by the man who answers the
question, but by the man who asks it.?

The people who quit reading "Just to

ference from the reply made by an old
Mississippi Illiterate. A passing man
found him apparently deeply Interested
In a paper.
On looking close it became apparent
that his paper was upside down, and
he was asked forthwith why he held it
thus.
His reply almost knocked the ques
tioner out- It was:

Browning loaned Lord Coleridge one
of his works to read, and afterward,
meeting the poet, the lord chief Justice
said to him: "What I could under
stand I heartily admired, and parts
ought to be Immortal- But as to much
of It I really could not tell whether I
admired It or not, because for the life
of me I could not understand ft."
Browning replied, "If a reader of
your caliber understands 10 per cent
of what I write, I think I ought to be
content.0
