ALL FOR A DOLLARSEEING WASHINGTON FROM THE
RUBBER-NECK MOTOR.
"Humor" HandedOut in Large Chunks,But the Visitors Are a Somewhat
Unappreciative Lot andRefuse to Laugh.
The managers of the Washingtonrubberneck motor car advertise that it
costs a dollar to"see Washington."They're mistaken.You get your dol-lar's worth from
& 4f the spieler's jokes.Seeing Washing-ton is thrown infor good measure.
The man incharge of the wait-ing room takesthe whole proposi-tion most serious-ly, which, afterall, is quite the
correct view, as you discover afterthe first few minutes of navigation.
"The company supplies all the trim-mings?" you inquire as you buy theticket. "There's a good spieler totell us all about it?"
"We employ an exceedingly compe-tent lecturer, sir," is the reprovingreply, "to describe the places of inter-est that the car passes, including theformer homes of Dolly Madison,Charles Sumner and Daniel Webster,as well as the British embassy,the-"
Whereupon you flee, leaving himstill talking.
The lecturer proves to be a slenderyoung man, with a scraggly mustache,a serious face, a mouth very full ofteeth and a voice out of all propor-tion to the rest of his person.
The lecture proceeds with ease andprecision. You might almost thinkyourself listening to a Burton Holmestravelogue in Convention hall, when,without warning, with no change ofvoice, tone or expression:
"Upon the left the brick house di-rectly opposite is the home of Speak-er Cannon. You will observe the con-spicuous chimneys upon the ends.They are to furnish drafts for UncleJoe's cigars."
It's all so extremely serious that no-body ventures a smile. Very likelynobody has noticed it. The monotonegoes on:
"Directly in front of the au-to-mo-bile is the Army and Navy club, thehaunt of veterans of bottles and bat-tles."
More serious gazes."We are approaching," the spieler
continues, after a moment's delay,"the city home of John R. McLain.Observe the jail-like effect of thehouse. I leave it to you to decidehow long he is in for."
The motor crowd is unmoved."The house upon the right was de-
signed by a woman. There are peoplemean enough to say it looks it."
Not a ripple."In the bureau of engraving and
printing yonder where the currency ismade, a single dollar bill is said tobe counted 54 times. That probablyaccounts for why it is so difficult toget."
The audience is glummer than be-fore. Apparently the solemnity hasworked in so that everybody is afraidto talk.
"The house on the corner-not theone with the I-ron bars"-it is one ofthe rules of the spielers' union to say"i-ron"-"is the home of Representa-tive and Mrs. Longworth. Mrs. Long-worth is the president's daughter. Itis understood that she will have thecolor of the ivy on the house changedsoon to Alice blue."
The car is on the verge of tears.For the first time the spieler takesofficial cognizance of the attitude to-ward his witticisms.
"I may say here," he continues, stillsolemn, "that there are no blue lawsin the District of Columbia. The lid isoff. You may laugh with impunity atJokes."
"We may," says the man in theback seat, "but we can't. Drive on."
But the lecturer hasn't even no-ticed him. His expression nevervaries.
"The large building with brass rail-ings immediately to the left-"
There's a man who will make hismark some day unless they catch himand bury him under a government job.
Society Girl Chooses Stage.Much interest is being displayed in
Washington social circles in the forth-coming appearance of Miss Flora Wil-son, daughter of the secretary of agri-culture, in concert this season. Shehas given up a social career as a cabi-net hostess for a professional career.From the concert stage this seasonshe expects to progress to the grandopera stage next season. She has forfive years been a diligent pupil ofJean de Reszke, the great tenor, inParis, and has prepared herself forgrand opera with a repertory of manyoperas. Although she has been homefor four weeks, she has taken no partin any affairs given for her father, andhas allowed none to be given for her,as she is observing the strictest disci-pline as to her health and strength forher concert appearances in the spring.She will be heard here about the mid-dle of the month.

JUST A MATTER OF NERVE.
How Lovesick Washington Youth GoIIntroduction to Charmer.
Not so very long ago when a certainmusical comedy company was intown a well known youth of the citywas in a very hard way. No one ex-actly knew the cause of the soulfullooks that he emitted on occasion, buthe kept it no secret that h8 went tothe theater as much as every night inthe week to see the same show.
Of course no one on earth couldkeep a secret forever, especially alovelorn youth. And accordingly, withgreat air of mystery, he took some-body into his confidence. But all thesame he told it as though he wereproud of it. Yes, the great secret wasout. He was desperately infatuatedwith one of the leading sopranos ofthe musical comedy company.
So far so well. But the worst wasyet to come. He hadn't met the objectof his adoration yet. No. To be sure,he couldn't think of waiting at thestage door with the rest of the John-nies and ask her to take supper withhim. No, indeed. That couldn't bethought of. But he had been so boldas to send her several bunches ofAmerican, Beauties at ten bucks athrow with little notes inclosed. But,worse luck, she hadn't seen fit to an-swer the notes. So, coming to thepoint of his long preamble, could hisfriend do anything for him?
Why certainly, that was whatfriends were for. He would introducehim to her that very night.
Lifted on the wave of ecstasy, thelovesick swain took his friend to din-ner and afterward to the theater. Thenafter the show they waited in frontof the stage entrance until the divinityshould appear. It seemed hours, butat last they saw her coming down thealleyway.
The lovesick one's heart nearlystopped beating and then he saw hisfriend step up to the fair one.
"Miss X-," he heard him say."I would like to have you meet myfriend Mr. A-"
"I am very glad to meet you, Mr.A- ," she said, giving him herhand.
It was done now and still he wasn'ttoo paralyzed to murmur some appro-priate greeting, when-what was thatshe was saying as his friend had start-ed away?
"But who is going to introduceyou?"
"Oh," said the accommodatingfriend, "Bobby is the one who wantedto meet you; I don't."-WashingtonStar.
HISTORIC NAMES AT CAPITAL
Washington Contains Many Descend.ants of Famous Men.
Washington fairly buzzes with greathistoric names, and one might thinkthat time had turned backward tohear the solemn announcements at theofficial levees. There is one bearerof a great name in Washington whohas been so modest that only latterlyhave people begun to realize exactlywho he is. This is Baron Germain deStael-Holstein, great-grandson of thefamous Mme. Anna Louise Necker deStael, author, patriot and philosopher.The baron is second secretafy of theRussian embassy, and lives the quietlife of a student. He is almost mid-dle aged, but it still a bachelor.Though he has inherited all the men-tal brilliancy which distinguished hisgreat ancestress he has none of hersocial talents. Baron de Stael-Hol-stein mingles in the gay throng justenough to fulfill his obligations, andthe remainder of his days is passed inreading and enjoying music. He isfair and of medium height and not un-like the most famous woman of mod-ern times in appearance. The childrenof Mme. de Stael by her first un-happy marriage were early separatedfrom her, and the father of the pres-ent Russian diplomat left Sweden andjoined his fate and fortune with theMuscovite empire. He became highIn councils of state, as no doubt willhis son. For Russian diplomacymoves in grades, like the military lifeof this country.
White House Renovated.When William Howard Taft steps
into the White House at noon on the4th of March as the new president ofthe United States of America, he willfind a model home equipped withevery modern convenience; that iswhat other presidents have never en-joyed. Before the election of Presi-dent Roosevelt few changes had beenmade in the White House since thedays of John Quincy Adams, when itwas rebuilt after being fired by themarauding British troops, only thewalls being left standing.
The executive mansion, as it wascalled before the advent of Mr. Roose-velt-he dubbed it officially "TheWhite House"-was the first publicbuilding erected at the sect of govern-ment. The architect was James Ho-ban, who drew his plans closely afterthose of the seat of the duke of Lein-ster, near Dublin, Ireland. GeorgeWashington, himself, selected the site,laid the corner stone on October 13,1792, and lived to see the buildingcompleted. John Adams, however,was the first president to occupy it,which he did in 1800.-From "NewHome of Mr. Taft," in Technical WorldMagazine.
Judge Harlan His Son's Twin.The most remarkable likeness be-
tween any two men in America, notbarring twins, exists between JusticeHarlan of the United States supremecourt and his son, John Maynard Har-lan, a Chicago lawyer and politician.Except for the disparity of their ages,the two men are the exact counter-part of each other-same height,weight and contour of face, even tothe mustaches, when both wear thismasculine adornment. And the re-semblance does not end here, for bothfather and son have high foreheadswith the same tiinning of the hair onthe temples:
No License Gaining in Ohio.Of the 62 Ohio counties which have iso far voted on the liquor license ques-

A PERILOUSJOURNEY
Euas the Scribe Gem Up to JerusalesaWithout a Guard.
BY THE "HIGHWAY AND BYWAY"PREACHER
(Copyright, 190, by bhe Author, W. 5. kdson.)
Scripture Authority-Book of Ezra,especially chapters 9 and 10.
The Book of Ezra.-The Book of Ezrais undoubtedly a continuation of the Bookof Chronicles. It covers a period extend-ing over seventy-nine years from 536 to157 B. C. There are two main portions tothe book. The first gives the return ofthe captives in the time of Cyrus, B. C.536, and the rebuilding of the temple, in-terrupted by the Samaritans, but renewedat the preaching or Haggal and Zechari-ah. Some portions of this book arein Chaldee. The second part relates thesecond immigration of exiles in the reignof Artaxerxes Longinus, B. C. 457, withEzra himself, and the institution of hisgreat reform. Some credit Daniel withbeing the author of the first chapter. Asregards Ezra 2 and as far as 3:1, it isfound in the seventh chapter of Nehemi-ah, where many Biblical scholars hold itbelongs. The next portion extends from3:2 to the end of chapter 6. With theexception of one large explanatory addi-tion by Ezra, extending from 4:6 to 23,this portion is the work of a writer con-temporary with Zerubbabel and Joshua,and an eye witness of the rebuilding ofthe temple in the beginning of the reignof Darius Hystaspis. The last four chap-ters, beginning with chapter 7, are Ezra'sown, and continue the history after a gapof fifty-eight years-from the sixth ofDarius to the seventh of Artaxerxes.
A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A4 SERMONETTE.4 I'
Be sure you are right and then go ahead, is an old adage4 which is full of profound truth. PNote Ezra in the case before us.He has the king's decree author-izing his return to Jerusalem.He has the treasure which theking placed in his hands. j
j He has a goodly company of j4 people. Everything seems aus-picious for the start. -
But, be sure you are right be- i'fore aoina ahead.
While in camp there at the. river side, Ezra considers every
detail of the expedition andthinks of the work which lies Iahead of them when they havet reached Jerusalem. The chief
4 thought centered around thetemple worship. Did he havethose who, according to the law,were qualified for the priestly
j service? And again he lookedover his company of followers.4 No sons of Levi there. Then jhow could the worship of the 1
4 temple be carried on? And act- 1t ing upon the thought he at oncesent to certain who he feltought to accompany them, and4 he was not disappointed, for jt "by the good hand of our God jupon us they brought us a smanof understanding, of the sons ofMahli, the son of Levi," etc.
But yet again Ezra would besure he was right before push-ing ahead on the journey. Sohe proclaims a fast and seeksGod in prayer that he may know pj the right way. And he goes on jto tell why he was not willingto trust to human means alonefor guidance to Jerusalem.
"For I was ashamed to requireof the king a band of soldiersand horsemen to help us againstthe enemy In the way; because 0we had spoken unto the king, jsaying: The hand of our God Isupon all them for good that seek P
q him; but his power and his Iwrath is against all them thatforsake him."
That Is, Ezra had made a pro-. fession of faith before the king
which he was going to live up m4to. But not in any reckless4 spirit by which he threw all the Il burden of protection upon God.4 He was going to "trust God
and keep his powder dry."And soi there by the river he
waited until the way had beenmade plain and he was certain pthat God was leading the way.Then he knew that he was notmaking any mistake. He wassure he was right and he wasready to go forward. This is abeautiful picture of a combina-tion of sublime faith and ofhard-headed common sense. it
4 is not faith that casts reasonaside. And human reason is not
4 safe that trusts not to the higherleading of God's spirit. We tneed both.4
THE STORY.
'HOSE had been busy days for EzraI the scribe. The king's decree wasin his hands granting him permissionto return to Jerusalem and to takewith him such treasure and people ashe could collect, and he set eagerly towork sending word into all placeswhere the Hebrews dwelt, askingthem to go with him to Jerusalem.
He recalled his disappointmentyears before when he had been pre-vented from going up to Jerusalem.
"But God knew best," he exclaimed,fervidly. "For had I gone up then Ishould have gone up alone, but now Igo up with much people and greattreasure."
On the appointed day he went tothe place by the River Ahava, whitherhe had told the people to come, andwas surprised and delighted to seethe goodly company which had gath-ered, all eager and expectant for thejourney which lay ahead of them.
"When shall we start?" "Cannot westart to-morrow morning?" "Let us notwaste any time, but start at once,"were the words he heard on everyside.
"But are all here who should returnwith us?" Ezra questioned.
"Well, surely all are here who haveshown any interest in your summonsand who are disposed to come," wasthe reply.
But not content with this Ezra tooka poll of the people in camp and foundthat not any of the tribe of Levi werepresent.
"We must have with us those whocan minister the priestly functions,"Ezra explained, as he sent messengersin search of such, and noted the im-patient expressions of the gatheredpeople.
"What did such ui little detail asthat amount to," they demanded. "Ifwe are to get to Jerusalem we mustget started."
"Yea, but we must be certain weare starting right, if we would haveGod with us," declared Ezra.
So they waited another night andthe next morning the messengerscame back with those upon whosehearts God had moved.
"Well, now we are surely ready tostart," exclaimed the people, as thenew arrivals from the tribe of Levitook their place in the camp. "We canget off to-day."
"Nay, but let us not be in too greathaste. Have we sought God in thismatter?" asked Ezra, and carrying outthe idea expressed in his words heproclaimed a fast.
"For," he explained to the people,"we need to have God point out theway."
"But we will have the king's sol-diers to guide us, will we not?" ex-claimed the people.
Ezra did not reply for some min-utes. Here was going to be the realstruggle. Would the people look atthe matter as did he?
"I am ashamed to require of theking a band of soldiers," he said, withquiet earnestness, "and horsemen tohelp us against the enemy in the way.I know he would be willing to sendsuch to help us, but I have alreadyspoken to the king, saying: 'The handof our God is upon all them for goodthat seek him; but his power and hiswrath is against all them that for-sake him." And should I ask of theking horsemen and soldiers he wouldthink that we did not trust our God."
The people were silent, but it wasevident to see by their subdued looks:hat a growing sympathy was takingpossession of their hearts and con-quering the impatient spirit which wasclamoring for an immediate advance.
So there at the River Ahava thepeople and Ezra the scribe fasted andprayed, and in a night vision as Ezraprayed out underneath the stars therecame to him the assurance from Godthat he would lead them if they wouldbut trust him fully and strive eachone to do his will.
"But how shall I inspire the peoplewith the same confidence?" exclaimedEzra, half to himself and half in theentreaty of prayer.
"Twelve of the chief of the priestsshall bear with you the burden of thisleadership," spoke a voice. "Place witheach a portion of the sacred vesselsof the temple and of the gold and sil-ver, and all will be well."
The voice ceased and Ezra knewthat the way lay plain before him andthat God was waiting to lead the wayacross the wild stretches of wildernessand desert, where lurked the robberbands.
"We have nothing to fear now, forGod is surely leading the way," he ex-claimed to the people as they gatheredbefore him the next day, and he pre-pared to carry out the instructions ofthe Lord in dividing the treasureamong the priests and making each re-sponsible for his portion.
So the journey was begun, and theirgoing without guard created no smallstir in Babylon, and many were thedire predictions as to what would hap-pen to the defenseless caravan as itpassed through the wilderness regions.But Ezra maintained that God wouldguide and care' for them and thusquieted the fears of the more timid.
On the night of the day on whichthe caravan started on its long jour-ney a mysterious figure slipped outof the city of Babylon and made hisway swiftly along the way which thecaravan had taken. He knew that be-cause of the, women and little onesIn the company he would be able toovertake the caravan before ;the day-light came.
"It is a trick," he muttered to him-self as he sped on. "They are. nottraveling without guard. It is done totrap our band. But we shall see."
Two days later he joined his com.panions in their wilderness retreatand made his report, for he had beenstationed in Babylon to spy on cara-vans leaving the city to learn theirstrength and the value of the treasurethey carried.
"This is a company of Jews who areon their way back to Jerusalem. Theycarry much treasure for their templethere, and they seem to be travelingwithout any guard whatsoever, save asthey talk about a certain Jehovah whois with them to deliver them."
"It is a trick," exclaimed the leaderof the band, "to trap us."
"Just the very words I used," re-plied the returned spy. "No caravanwould travel with the confidence ofthis company of Jews which was notsecurely protected. But it is certainlya mystery to know where theirstrength lies."
"We will take no chances," ex-claimed the leader, with decision. "Letthem pass."
And so it came to pass that Ezraand the compahy with him, togetherwith the treasure they carried, reachedJerusalem in safety.
In the Might of the Holy Spirit.Our Lord sent his earliest disciples
a task seemingly impossible. It wLsnothing less than the spreading ofhis gospel, and the establishing of hiskingdom throughout the world. Dif-ficulties and obstables, to human eyesinsurmountable stood in the way.But Pentecost came. The grower ofthe Holy Spirit came upon the dis-ciples. They were raised to a higherlevel. Hindrances before toweringabove them, were now beneath theirfeet. The open stream of conquest,and success lay before them.
The secret of their power is the se-cret of ours. The gift of Pentecost isfor us. We may face our battles andour tasks, not in our own punystrength, but in the might of the HolySpirit.
No Peace in Worldly Pleasure.Worldly pleasure can never bring
peace to the mind, nor consolation tothe soul. The words of Solomon findan echo in the hearts of most men:"The eye is not satisfied with seeing,nor the ear filled with hearing." Theworld exhausted itself on Solomon, butall its blandishments could not soothehis soul. "Whatever my eyes desiredI refused them not," said he, but washe satisfied? Let him give the answer,"I saw in all things vanity and vexation of mind, and that nothing waslasting unde the sun."
MADE HER FEEL FOOLISH.
ill-Bred Woman Deserved Little Sym-pathy in Her Mortification.
"ft an eastern city, an ill-bred wom-an used to boast that her husbandowned a bank. She was proud, andexcessively foolish in her pride. Theconductors on the line which she usesall know her, and smile when sheenters the car and grandly utters hercommand:
"Conductor, let me off at my hus-band's bank."
One day lately, a trampish-lookingold fellow with a red nose got on thecar just as the banker's wife deliv-ered her usual order to the conductor.The old man watched the performancecuriously, and then arose, pulled him-self together, and called out, with amagnificent air that was almost in-imitable:
"Conductor, let me off at my oldwoman's peanut stand."
A roar went through the air, and"my husband's bank" has been alludedto more than ever since that time.
