Matter of the Removal of Old Rail
road Station in Washington Re
called as a Proof of Hia
• Energy.
Since the death of Colonel Roose-
veit, old-timers in Washington have
been recalling many incidents illus
trative of the tremendous vitality of
the man. his determination to get
things accomplished, and his unwill
ingness to let red tape interfere with
the accomplishment of that which
seemed necessary to be done. One
of these incidents was recounted the
other day by Col. William Boyce
Thompson, chairman of the Roose
velt Memorial association. It was
narrated with much appreciation by a
Congressman who didn't appreciate It
so much when It occurred. It ran
ss follows :
The government was co-operating
with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio railroads in the project for
a new union station—the present fine
edifice. The site of the Pennsylvania's
old station—now the mall near the
White House—had been purchased by
the government, and it was purposed
to raze the buildings. But congress
had been held late In a special ses
sion, nnd the members were anxious
to get home, so It was decided to
postpone the letting of bids for tear
ing down the buildings until congress
reassembled the next fall. This duty
naturally devolved on the committee
on the District of Columbia, which
has charge of government property
In the district, Meantime a major of
engineers was placed In charge, as
custodian.
When the committee held Its first
meeting at the next session of con
gress, the matter of letting contracts
for the razing of the old station was
brought up.
“Why, gentlemen,” declared an as
tonished representative, “there is
nothing to tear down. I walked past
there this morning, and there's noth
ing hut the bare earth where the old
station stood.”
The committee sent post-haste for
the custodian, and the chairman asked
him sharply what had become of the
building he had charge of,
“It has been razed and the material
stored, sir,” replied the major.
“By whose order?” queried the
chairman, red In the face.
“By order of President Roosevelt,
sir.”
“Where In--- did ho get any au
thority to butt Into our business?”
exploded the chairman.
“Well, sir,” said the major, “it Is
not for me to question the authority
or the orders of my commander in
chief, hut to obey them. And I did,
sir.”
And congress decided to consider It
a fact accomplished, and let it «go at
that.

A Bachelor's Complaint.
I cannot say that the quarrels: of
men and their wives ever made any
great Impression upon me, or had much
tendency to strengthen me In thoie
anti-sogial resolutions which I took up
long ago upon more substantial consid
erations. What oftenest offends me
nt the house of married persons where
1 visit. Is an error of quite a different
description—It Is that they are too
loving. Not too loving neither; that
does not explain my meaning. Besides,
why should that offend me? The very
act of separating themselves from the
rest of the world, to have the fuller
enjoyment of each other's society. Im
plies that they prefer one another to
all the world. But what I complain
of Is. that they carry this preference
so undisguisedly, they perk it np in the
faces of us single people so shameless-
ly, you cannot be In their company a
moment without being made to feel,
by some Indirect hint or open avowal
that you are not the object of his pref-,
erence.—Charles Lamb.

Da Vinci Thought of Tank.
Italy has just celebrated the fourth
centenary of Leonardo da Vinci’s
death. Iis name has been often men-
tinned during the war and his prophet
ic genius recalled. It Is known that
he Intended to build airplanes for war
purposes, but It Is now claimed also
that he was the first to think of the
tank. In his letters to II Moro be
speaks of armored cars which could
shelter the occupants and drive right
amongst the enemy's masses, slaying
and shattering all opposition. It is
unfortunate that more is not known
of ‘Leonardo’s Intentions, and of the
way In which he proposed to propel his
craft. Horses might possibly have
been intended. for If a horse could
carry less weight than the armored
motor, protection In those days was
more easily got than now. But it Is
certainly very singular to read that his
cars were to charge ahead while the
infantry would follow behind—for this
ta exactly what happened four hundred
years after his death.
