C« (• (• \ During the silly season, and for the amusement of puzzle . solvers, we submit the following from "the Kansas City Journal : A banker going home to dinner saw a $10 bill on the curbstone. He picked it up. noted the number. and went home to dinner. While at home his wife remarked that the butcher bad sent s bill amouting to 110. Tbe only money he had was the bill he had found, which he gave to : her, and she paid the butcher. The ; utcber paid it to a farmer for a calf, the farmer to the "merchant, who in . turn paid it to a washerwoman, and she, 'owing the banker a note of $10. went to the bank and paid the note. The banker recognized the'bill as the ] one he had 'found, and which to that time paid $50 worth of debt. On careful examination he discovered that the ; bill was counterfeit. Now, what was lost in the transaction, and by whom? «» A ft A. B. Little attained his 69th birth day yesterday and friends at the Glen- , wood where he is stopping, seem to , have been aware of tbe fact. When be entered the dining room last even- 1 Iffg be found his table decorated with a I 1 big pound cake implanted with sixtv- J 1 nine burning candles and there was 1 : quite a jollification in his honor^ Mr. ! ; Little is a bighlv esteemed citizen of I ' Cape May whom his friends delight to | j honor. 9 ® <• (•

'WASHIRGTM LETTER! ' [Special Correspondence.} No president of tbe Unltfe States haa held office twelve months in tbe last twenty-five years without being the subject or gossip In Washington about tbe use of intoxicating liquors. The stories start in some mysterious ' way, go tbe rounds,' spread to tbe states and subside, only to be revived [ at Intervals. As a matter of fact, none of the presidents since Johnson's time i has been a hard drinker In any sense of the word, although some of them were men who took an occasional glass of whisky. Roosevelt Disliked Whisky. President Roosevelt did not escape the evil tongues In this regard, and a big consumption of highballs was , ascribed to him. A yarn to that effect ! haa been going over the country from mouth to mouth and recently returned here from California. Tbe truth la thai Mr. Roosevelt has an aversion to whisky In any form and almost never drank either a highball or a cocktail. He did drink an occasional glass of wine, but never missed It If It was not upon tbe menu. Not many months ago be was dining at the house of a friend where the glasses were filled with a very ancient vintage. Mr. Rooeevelt drained his , glass, to be Interrupted a moment later by this observation: "Mr. President if you are going to •at those peppermints right after you have drunk my hundred-year-old madeira I shall not offer yon any more." The president appreciated the Joke at his expense and joined In the laugh , with entire good nature. Owls Ars Good Mouse rsWlthln a stone's throw of the offices of the biological survey. In the towers of the Smithsonian, Is seen an example I of government protection of birds. For years these Smithsonian towers have been nesting places for owls, some of 1 whose habits led quite recently to a movement toward their destruction. But before issuing the order experts of the biological survey took the trouble to explore the owls' nests and dls covered beneath them piles of skulls of field mice, rodents which work enormor havoc to the farmers throughout the country. These skulls furnished conclusive evidence that the owls had a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and rodents, and so their ancient solitary reign In the reds tone towers Is unmolested. 8parrows Aid Farmers. One of the latest decisions of the survey is calculated to astonish the average Individual, for It Is nothing less than an opinion In favor of the persecuted and despised sparrow. Tbe sparrow Is now declared to be on A of the farmer's best friends and Its (Capacity as a weed destroyer so great that this menace of the bad seed lu , the fields would tremendously handicap the agriculturist were It not for I the soberly clad and unobtrusive little j bird. Some idea may be obtained ' of the service these birds render by I noting what Is done for the farmer by j the tree sparrow, one of the most con- 1 firmed seed eaters of the group. A : quarier of an ounce of seed per day 1 is a safe estimate of the food of a ' tree sparrow. On this reckoning, iu j | a state like Iowa, they annually eat j j about 875 tons of weed seeds. The War on Rate, .Rats are receiving continued atten- ' I tlon from the agricultural department. campaign started against them ' result some day In the extermlna- : tlon of the pest In this country. That Is saying a good deal, but anything is possible if the effort is sincere and if | the directions for accomplishment are ! widely observed, and If the rat, along 1 ' with the housefly and the mosquito,

' i should be reduced as nearly to the i point of extinction as some harmless i j forms of life that once counted their in- > j dlvlduals by the hundreds of millions j much of the disease to which human j beings are heir would be eradicated, j It has been estimated that a single * i pair of rats and their progeny breed1 j lng without interruption and suffer- - ! lng no losses would lu three years Inj crease to more than 20,000,000. While j recommending the persistent use of i 1 traps and poisons, the experts think I tbe most promising lines of extermlna- ' i tlon effort lie In rat proof construction ' i cf buildings, especially the use of concrete In foundations, and in reducing the food supply of rats by the disposal of garbage and the protection of food 1 supplies. Interesting Relics. , I The late Bishop Satterlee took a ! great deal of Interest in securing relics j of sacred places for the proposed Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of 6S. Peter and Paul In this city, and several 1 may now be seen at the baptistery and the little sanctuary within the cathedral close. The altar is built of stone i cut from the ledge of rock In which Is the tomb where the Saviour lay In tbe historical garden of Joseph of Arimathea. There Is a stone from the ' foundation of the first Christian church erected in America, which was built . by Columbus at the town of Isabella, an the north coast of Haiti, on his second voyage In 1493, and there la a bishop's chair made from stones sent from the ancient British abbey of 8S. 1 Peter and Paul Inscribed, "By the Churchmen of Glastonbury to the Churchmen of America." And, what Is more interesting than all, planted ■gainst the walls Is an offshoot of the "holy thorn of Glastonbury." which Is Believed to have been grown from the staff of Joseph of Arlmathea. The parent tree was cut down at the time of the reformation, but sprouted again afterward from the roota, and its whits iMoasoms still appear every year at Christmas time. CARL SCHOFIELD.
