CUPID KING AT CAPITAL
ALL SORTS OF HEWLY-WE09
COME TO V ASH1NGTON.
Levers, Sweethearts, a..d Brides and
Bridegrooms Cc 'Sider It Pur#
Paradise High Heaven, and
Sweet Elysium, AH in One.
To those persons who draw theif
breath of life from the boiling and hi
t u m i n o u a
smoke of #
thousand fac
tories, mills,
and 3hops, the i
clean. quiet j
city of Washington does not appeal
And those who hear sweet music in the
clamor, clang, and clangor of pound- j
ed steel and roaring furnaces And It
dull indeed. But the lovers, the
sweethearts, and the brides and bride
grooms consider it pure paradise, high
heaven, and sweet eiystum, all rolled j
Into one.
There come to Washington every
day twenty-six newly married people,
and in this town, which has a popula
tion of only three hundred and thirty
thousand, there are issued every year 1
nearly five thousand marriage licenses. ;
There you have It, ;n thousand people
married in the city every year, and
nine thousand four hundred and nine
ty newly married visitors.
Things have come to such a pass
that the hotel people can recognize a
bride and a bridegroom three blocks
oft, and figure to a dollar how much
the brfdgegroom will pay for the hon
eymoon, writes James Hay, Jr., In Sun
day Magazine.
On one occasion 1 asked the spieler

Identified the honeyroooners.
“It’s easy enough," be said with
great assurance; "they ail have new
shoes.”
Washington every day Is full of run
away couples and Lord UUln's daugh
ters. bringing much money to the min
isters who marry them, and to the
hotels that house them. Everybody
with the price of the railroad tickets
goes a honeymooning in the capital,
the city of trees, flowers, and frag
ranee. It is so awfully sweet, you
know, to begin your new life ln^ the
atmosphere of Washington, the place
where you drink in "the history of the
whole country! It Is uplifting, elevat
ing, and grand. Thus they swarm in,
a long line of newly-weds; some of
the grooms looking smart and tailored
as first class dudes and dandies, oth
ers resembling to a painful degree
Froggy Would a Wooing Go.
All sorts of newly-weds come to1
Washington, the rich, the poor, those
from Virginia, and those from San
Francisco, the blushing young thing
of nineteen, and the elderly party who
Just squeezed um,>r the wire and is
proud of it. Most of them rush in
during the spring, when there is the
whisper of sentiment on the breeze
and the sunsetB look like clouds of
romance hanging close to the earth.
But the procession never stops. It Is
good every day In the year, and some
people even go to Washington to be
married on Christmas day, figuring
that each one Is a line gift to the
other.
Taking it all hi all, cupld is king
In the national capital. He wine the
president's brightest smiles, he has
members ef congress waiting on him,
and ho tarns up his nos* at some of
the moot sncrod shrtnee of tho na
tion's history. Ho Is an* *f the moat
valuable advance agents tho hotels
have, and tho polttiolana and govern
ment clerks reeognls* his victims
every day, no matter whether they
sit stone doaf la tho public galleries
of tho senate or go down la the base
ment of the treasury, where, smiling
fatuously and happily, they hold In
their arms for a moment a bundle
containing a million dollars—“for
good luck."
Plot Did Not Work.
A motion picture plot, to show a
crank attempting to reach President
Taft, was nipped In the bud at the
White House recently. A squad of pic- j
ture men walked Into the White House
grounds, accompanied by a venerable j
looking Individual with a long white !
beard. They set up their apparatus
In front of the main entrance of the
White House and the white bearded
stranger started up the steps.
Policemen on guard Intervened be
fore the picture men could begin
business. The operators explained
that they were seeking to get a real
istic exhibition of a crank trying to
enter the White House. The actor
would hare been turned back at the
door and the picture machine would
hare taken In the Interesting pro
ceedings following his attempts to get
Into'the White House. The picture
■sen pleaded that the play be allowed
to continue, but the White House au
thorities refused.
Mr. Lodge Plante Tree.
Senator Lodge turned forester the

oak tree In the Capitol grounds. Sev

part of Superintendent Ellltt Wood’s
scheme to conserve the natural re

PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process of Enameling Was
Discovered by Chinese Workers
About 206 3 C.
x'">’ar the year 206 it C , in *he be
ginning of the dynasty of Han. some
workers in earthenware set rheir pots
in t'.’.e oven ‘.o bake, and forgot them
Wit :i tliey remembered 'hem and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots were vitrified in shining
Bp<>' - In this way 'he enameling of
porcdain was discovered. When
freed of its dross the substance grew
lighter, become clear, and acquired
a grain as fine and smooth as vel
vet. and a thin. hard, translucent hotly
that rang like a bell.
The art of monochromatic glazing
was discovered in the time of the
dynasty of Sung (960—1280 R. C.)
Occasionally the action of the Are sep
arated the pigments and produced ex
cessive richness of color. The Mon
gol Invasion checked 'he progress of
ceramic art. In 1368 Tai-Tsu, the
son of a day laborer, dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1644. Tai-Tsu lost no time In restor
ing the imperial manufactories. Ho
gave the national manufactory the
monopoly of the work in porcelain,-ex
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans of
Tehua. Under the new- impetus ail
the ancient methods were revived and
perfected. The system of three-color
and five-color decoration, after a pre
liminary firing, dates from the re
naissance of art. under the Ming dy
nasty.—Harper’s Weekly.
TOOK HIS L.r'E BY REQUEST
Girl Then Considered Annoying Suitor
Dead and Wanted No Corpse
in House.
He was a theatrical lover, and she
didn’t like his style in the least, for he
was constant In his devotion, which
made matters worse. She had tried
gentle means to get rid of him, but he
had disregarded them with painful per
sistency.
"Dear one," he exclaimed, hurting
himself tragically at her feet, "I love
you! My life Is yours! Will you take
It?"
She did not look like a murderess,
but she responded, with calm deter
mination:
“I will."
He gazed at her rapturously.
“Don’t do that,” she begged, draw
ing back from him as if In horror. "I
have taken your life, as you requested
me to do, and you are henceforth to
all intents and purposes dead.”
He seemed dazed.
“I do not," she continued, turning
aside, “desire to have a dead person
in the house, and if you do not go
away at once t shall send for an un
dertaker and have you removed to the
nearest cemetery."
Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed
himself with promptness and dispatch.
Brave Old Oak.
Whether its branches show green
against a dark-blue sky—gold where
the sunlight touches them—whether
Its leaves show magneta in the light
of the setting sun, or black and sil
ver in the moonlight, there is no tree
of them all to compare with the oak.
All a summer’s day you may lie oufr
stretched beneath it. so strong and
so friendly, not to you only, but to ill
the little lives that swarm shout ltd
roots. All kinds of busy creatures,
ants, spiders, dsddy-long-legs, beloved
•f your childhood, go scurrying oven
you on this errand and that, as ms*
afraid, almost, ss if you were deed.
▲ feeling of kinship comes to yen;
a knowledge that all this life about
you In oak and grass and Insect, and
the good dog lying at your feet. Is
nsrt of the ageless flux
and reflux; soothingly as a cool hand
on an aohlng head, there comes to
you the realization that soon fears,
hates, and loves forgotten, your tired
body shall rest under the trees all
the days and all the nights—Month
ly Atlantic.
As to Chickens.
They are the most dadbusted, an
eertainest creatures that walk Ihe
family acre. Almost everybody trie*
to raise chickens at one time or an*
other. Looks easy—that’s the deceit
ing part of it.
And it is easy, after you learn ona
thing: Little chickens don’t know
anything, medium sized chickens
don’t know anything, big chickens
don't know anything. IT there Is a
change of an intellectual nature as
the size increases big ones know less
if possible than little ones.
If there is a wire partition in your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead of going around and
walking through the door.—Puck.
Safety Devices.
Redd—I understand the French gov
ernment has offered a prize of $80,000
for a device that will make aeroplanes
safe.
Greene—Why, don’t they at the
same time offer a prize for a device
that will make falling out of a tenth
story window safe?
Interested.

NEAR DEATH
ST SMOTHERING
But HasbantJ, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance
—__
Draper, N C — Mrs. Helen Dalton, o!
this place, says: ‘ I suffered tor years,
witn pains in my ieft side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the woman's tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and 1 began using it.
It did me more good than all the medi
cines I had taken.
3 have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say they have
oeen benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is
i good medicine for ail womanly trou
! oies.”
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
! iieving woman’s sufferings and building
j weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.

There are many little things to
annoy us, under present condition*

tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability. We are frequently ao
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
i i-irenmatances is to take something
like
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerve*.

vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills,
which I keep onsf.mtly on hand for
the use of myself husband and two
sons. Nothing in fh*‘ world equals them
as a headache remedy Often l am
enabled by the use of one or two of
the Pills to :ontinue my housework
when otherwise I would be in bed. My
j husband joins me in my praise of th*
j Anti-Pain Pills arid Nervine "
