WASHINGTON, D. C, Airll 20. .All Washington Is greatly Interested In the question: "What does It cost to keep a lion a year?" Secretary James Wilson of the United States Department of Agri culture, liiis experts at work on the problem, chicken fanciers arc trying to llguro it out, In fact nearly every one is trying to aid in the solution or following It closely. It all started from a speech by representative Olmsted, to whom the question was originally submitted, In the House a few days ago in which ho said: "A short time ago a constituent desired to know of me the exact valuo of the gold in a gold dollar. I knew there was bomo alloy in It, and by the assistance of the Secre tary of the Treasury and the Di rector of the Mint I was able to an swer with exactness. "Another constituent desired to know whetljer twas true, as had been asserted, that since the Spanish War we could truly say with the King of England that the sun never sets on our possessions. With the aid of a globe and all the data at the command of the Committee on Insular Affairs, of which I have the honor to bo a member, I wrestled with the problem, but finally turned it over to the Government Observa tory, and after two weeks they were able to Inform mo that there is a short period within twenty-four hours when the sun, hanking out over some point in the Pacific ocean, does not shine upon any people or possessions within the jurisdiction of the United States. "The latest conundrum propound ed to mo by a constituent, in this Handsome Frame House. Especially Suitable to a Narrow Lot, Though Having Abundance of Room Cost $2,200. Copyright, 1007. by J. II.

The estimated cost, not including heating and rplumblng, is $2,200. J. II. DAVERMAN & SON. ft HEN FOR A YEAR? case an Intelligent lady, I am about to bring to the attention of the House and the country. She desired mo to answer this question: 'What does it cost to keep a hen a year? "iMr. Chainnan, the nightingale, the lark and the linnet have all had their story told, but the hen, more valuable to the human race than all other birds, is compelled to sing her ! own lay. I "I do not wish to consume un- I necessarily the time of the House, but I wish to submit to the distin guished Chnirman of the Committee on Agriculture 'What does it cost to keep a hen a year' " Appreciated the Beautiful. That It is not always well to put on one's dowdiest garments when one goes to visit the poor is the moral of u story told in an English maga zine recently. There were two phi lanthropists, according to the tale, one u professional and the other uu ama teur. The professional had arranged to take the amateur to a gathering of slum dwellers In the cast end of Lou don. At the appointed hour the ama teur, who happens to be a duchess aud a great beauty, appeared at the house of her friend, a dazzling apparition in court dress, tiara and jewels. "Oh, my dear," gasped the professional, falling helplessly into the neatest chair, "don't you know that we aie going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? I can't pioinise that you will bring nny of that back with you." But the beauty only laughed. "That's all right," she said. "I quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. The"Ir chlldien espe cially aie captivated with line di esses and featheis. Just wait aud you will see!" And the professional did sec. Those poor, half starved, half naked slum dwellers had e.es for no one but the daz.Ilug joung beauty who had done them the infinite honor of coming to see them In her most beautiful frock' and jewels. 3??s!sgSS& : SECOND FLOOIt PLAN. a The t Scrap Books Still Ahead. A congressman says ho was riding in a smoking car on a little oue track road and In the Feat in front of him sat a jewelry drummer. Ho wns one of thoso wide awake, never-let-any-one-get-the-bctter-of-hlm style of men. Presently the train stopped to take on water, and the conductor neglected to send back n flagman. A limited ox press, running at a rate of ten miles an hour, came along and bumped the rear end of the first train. The drum mer was lifted from his seat nud pitch ed head first against the scat ahead. Ilia silk hat was jammed clear down over his ears. He picked himself up and settled back in bis seat. No bones had been broken. Then he pulled off his hat, drew a long breath nnd, straightening up, said: "Ilully gee! Well, they didn't get by us anyway!" Got His Wish. At the height of their nightly quar rel the other day Mis. Blank choked back a sob and said reproachfully: "I was reading one of your old let ters today, James, and you said in it that jou would rather live In endless torment witli me than in bliss by your self." "Well. I got my -wish," Blank growled. Tho Dolphin Violin. The Dolphin violin was so named on account of tho beauty of the wood, tho back of the instrument resembling the color of a dolphin. It was made by Stradlvarius in 1714. and it is consider ed tho most beautiful violin in the world. It Is owned by an Englishman and is valued at 3,000. Musical Home Journal.
