How to make the official home of tha
President of the United States , built a
century ago , answer presentds.needs ,
has long ben a serious problem. Various
plans for enlaring the White House
have failed of adoption , chiefly because
of the sentiment that properly attaches
to th'i walls of the historic old house.
It seems almost sacrilege to change
them. The plan wliich is now com
manding attention proposes to with
draw from the White House the execu
tive ollices , or the working-rooms of
the President , which occupy about one-
third of the second-floor space of the
building. The private rooms of thu
President's family occupy the other
two-thirds ; most of the first floor Is
given up to public and official uses. If
the clerks , telegraphers , copyists and
messengers who work at the White
House , numbering thirty in all , were
transferred to a separate building de
signed exclusively for office purposes ,
the space now given to them could be
turned into family uses , adding materi
ally to the comfort of the occupants of
the White House. The new building
would ? > e reached from the Whlto
House through the conservatories , on
its west side , and would be temporary
iu character , awaiting the erection of
a inoro imposing structure on a near-
by square. These are perhaps the sim
plest changes that could be made for
the relief of the White House. It would
still be the home of the President , and
to it his social and family guests would
go. Foreign ambassadors and minister
would be introduced to him In one of its
parlors. Tourists would still be adj
rnitted to the East Room and otheu
parts of the first floor. Only callers on ,
official business would have to seek th ( }
new building , either temporary or peri
inanent Such a structure has no sen
timental associations , but that Is a dw

Those ardent expansionists who im
agine the country is overcrowded and
who are unfamiliar with the extent ol !
the unoccupied public domain will
doubtless be surprised at the statement
that one-third of the whole of the Uni <

slsts of vacant public laud , much olj
which Is extremely fertile , capable ofl
sustaining a vast population. This landj
however , Is lacking in the one essenj

the reason that all available sources
of water supply that can be utilized by
private ownership have been drawn
uiKn for reclnirning arid land. Private
enterprise has gone as far as it can iu
utilizing the smaller .streams , but them
still remain great rivers and torrential
floods , the control 'of which must bq
assumed oy the government. It Id
urged by Mr. Newell and other advo
cates of national reclamation that thu
government should not actually Irrlgato
the dry lands , but that it should tako
measures at once to protect the moun
tain sources of these streams and floodn
to the end that they may be ultimately
utilized by private enterprise. At leasl }
40 per cent of the area of the United
States requires irrigation for success

over three and one-half million acres
were cropped by irrigation. In the suci
feeding ten years this area was dou
bled. Since 18IVJ , however , there havo
been comparatively few notable works
of irrigation built. The probable acre4

TALKING ABOUT WIDOWS
the Preacher's Text Jnst Fitted Jake *
way's Case
"Talking about Bidders , " said th *
man with the stogie ; "talking about
bidders , did I ever tell you about
Jakeway and the Wldder Barstow ? "
Now there hadn't been a word said
about widows , but as the man with the
Stogie looked hard at a meek little fel
low , the latter replied : "No. sir , you
never did. "
"Well , " said the man with the stogie ,
"Jakeway was a character one o'
those you read about. He'd lived alou <
for years. When he was a young inai.
he had been disappointed In love , 'i
something , and from that time he'd
been sour a reg'lar woman-hater. And
the particular object of his dislike was
the Widder Barstow , aggressive from
her head to her heels. The very sight
of her to old Jakeway was like the
waving of a red flag to a bull.
"They useter go to the same church ,
but the iishers knew the situation well
enough to put a goodly portion of the
sanctuary between them. Unfortunate
ly on one Sunday there was a new
usher. The opening service was well
under way and Jakeway was In a pew
by himself well down towar.l the fru.it.
when down the aisle came the new
usher with the widder trailing along In
his wake nnd he handed her into Jake-
way's pew.
"The old man gave one look as the
figure rustled In , " said the man with
the stogie , according to the New York-
Mail and Express , 'then he gathered
up his umbrella , his hat. his bandanna
and his prayer book and cleared the
back of the pew in front with the ugll-
Ity of a boy. And just as ho landed on
the front seat the preacher gave out
his text :
"There hath no evil befallen jou
