Apparently sho is speaking earnestly to him and " ' "But, Mr. Mooro," interrupted one of the ladles of tho party, "what Is tho woman saying to Lafayette?" "That's very plain, ff you obsorvo the condition of her attire, madam," ho replied. "She's begging him: 'Here, general, tako this, quick, whllo I catch my clothes!'

"BREAD UPON Representative Heflln of Alabama Is a great believer In tho return of bread "cast upon tho waters," and In proof thereof relates a story of the time when ho had first entered poll tics. It seems that about flvo miles rom tho Hellln homo a negro Jubi lee of somo'sort was In progress and was attracting hundreds of negroes from nil parts of tho surrounding coun try. One of thoso who wished to at tend the function and had driven many weary miles was unfortunate -when he reached tho vicinity of tho "Heflln residence One of the wheels on his buggy broke. The old darky had been told vhero Representative Heflin's father lived, and probably also that the elder 2Mr. Hellln had a sympathetic heart. Therefore, ho went to the door and aiskod tho elder Mr. Heflln, who had a blacksmith shop, to let him borrow a wheel for his broken buggy. The wheel was loaned and tho negro went on his way rojolclng. Some years later, howevor, when tho present representative had been fiorsuaded to enter the race for tho state legislature, ho saw tho old darky, ilr. Hellln had just como to the end of a pauso in a campaign speech when the vheel borrower arose In the back, of tho assemblage. "Ah'd just lak to ask yo' one question, suh. Aro yo' tho son of Dr. heflln?" And when he had received an affirmative response from the speaker of the day, tho old darky continued: "Well, don, Ah Just wants to tell yo' one thing. Ah never took dat wheel "back to yo' father. Ah Just kept postponln' it and postponin' It and Ah guess .Ah'll never see yo' father again in dls world an' he'll never see dat wheel. But Ah'm going to toll yo' now, dls old man and his three sons Is a-goin' to wist their votes for yo'." WR!TM(3 FOR A LIVING Ambassador Page. Sho says.

"I have so many good friends here that It is a great delight to Eervo my government in Wash ington. "No, I do not apprehend another war in tho Balkans. 1 am ono who earnestly hopes , for peace and be llovcs there will bo peace Tuikoy, it Is true, lost somo territory in tho recent war, and whilo it is always bad for a nation to loso territory, it will probably prove n blessing for us in the end. Tho Turkish army is In far better condition than over, smaller, but more efficient, better disciplined, nnd bettor tralnod." Representative J. Hampton Moore, who succeeded John Dalzoll on the ways and means committee, whllo hailing from Philadelphia, knows his Washington llko a native. During tho vl3lt or a party of homo friends to tho capltnl, Mr. Mooro was showing: them tho sights of the city nnd, while! coming from tho northeast entranco of tho Whlto House grounds their at tention was attracted by the group of heroic figures thnt mako up tho La fayette stntuo at tho southeast corner of Lafayetto square. This presents, with other things, a 'woman with a garment about hor loins which she Is frantically group ingholding up a nakeil sword io Lafayetto, who Is standing above. Hor attitude Is one of eager, nay, anxious and Insistent supplication. As tho party approachod tho stat uary group, Representative Mooro struck tho posturo of a guldo, and, In the professional twang of tho craft, THE WATERS" Ambassador Walter H. Page, speaking lately to tho British authors, dwelt upon tho folly of writing for a living. From the standpoint of mere barnyard gumption, ho said, it is ab surd for anybody to start out to spend his life trying to support himself or herself with the pen. As tho am bassador has been an extensive dealer in litoraturo as a magazlno editor, ho ought to be ablo to speak with bomo degreo of authority on tho subject. His testimony is in practical accord with tho great majority of those who can speak from tho experience of an author, an editor or a publisher. Ono of tho most successful women authors, pecuniarily considered, at least, waa Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. In her auto biography sho dwells on tho subject of authorship, speaking from a wide experience, and her ndvlco to persons who are attempting a career of au thorship Is to the same effect and very much moro pungent than that of if you must, not otherwise."

Writes Elolso Roorbach In Tho Technical World Magazine: "Tho caves, at first Bight, seen back of an isolated group of cryptomorla trees nnd over n thatched cottngo, look much llko a Bwnllow bank. Tho resemblance Is moro no tlccablo upon nearer approach, for thoy arc set closo together In uneven rows and consist of a horizontal pas sageway ending in a roomy excava tion.

If tho 'earth-spldore' sat In their doorways, thoy could havo seen their enemies approaching ovor tho plain, whllo tho latter wero still a long dlstanco away. Tho position of tho caves is a strategic one, and adds a point in favor of tho habitation tho ory. "Though tho caves vary in size, their formation Is tho samo. Thoy havo a small, molcllko entranco flvo or six feet In depth, which expands In to a chamber about bIx foot aquaro and flvo or six foot high, In tho caao of tho larger caves. Along either sldo of tho chamber is a ledgo Boven or ofght Inches In height and fairly broad,, that may havo been covored with dried leaves or grass for a bed.
