YOUTH WAS A LITTLE BITTER
Uncle’s Quite Natural Desire Did Not
Seem to Him to Be Altogether
Reasonable
Howard la quite a spendthrift His
only living relative is an old uncle
who Is not and there are other differ-
ences between Howard and bis un-
cle says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
However one day not long ago our
young hero more or less diffidently ap-
proached hiB avuncular relative with
the intimation that it would be a
graceful thing for the old chap to
loosen up
"Young man’’ said the uncle "you
are a spendthrift If I bad money I
would not give It to you Rut I have
no money Y’ou seem to think I have
a treasure hidden away somewhere
Get lid of that notion I have saved
up a sum large enough to bury me de-
cently when 1 die and that is alL
Now get out!”
A friend of Howard asked him a lit-
tle later in the day why he looked so
thoughtful
"I was Ju6t wondering” be said
"where that old fellow got the Idea
that he ought to be buried decently”

More Itching Scalp
Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderins you cannot find a
Single trace of dandruff or falling hair

Injured by careless treatment — that's
all — you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of It if you will just try a lit-

OMEN have done much at
Alexandria Va to pre-
serve the relics of the
days of George Washing-
ton It Is not the capital
of the nation despite its
name that Is richest In
Intimate aisocla tions
with the life of the first
president but Alexan-
dria which stands mid-
way between Mount Ver-
non and the city of Wash-
ington Alexandria played no small part in
the formative years of Washington's
youth and early manhood A repre-
sentative Virginia town it stood then
and for generations later for all that
was best of colonial standards Its peo-
ple had much to do with the molding
of Washington's character and Wash-
ington richly repaid Alexandria or
Belle Haven as it was first called by
bis never falling concern for its wel-
fare and advancement
Probably no surviving structure In
Alexandria harbored Washington with-
in its hospitable walls more frequently
than the old Carlyle house and cer-
tainly none was more directly associ-
ated with the foundation of the mili-
tary side of his life Strange as It
may seem for many years this his-
torical landmark has been hidden away
behind the battered front of Alexan-
dria’s once noted hotel the Braddock
house occupying one corner of the in
ner courtyard shut away from the pub-
lic gaze and denied the outlook of the
broad approach which it once enjoyed
in the days of its well nigh baronial
Importance Until a few years ago
the Carlyle bouse was largely used as
a storage place by a local dealer in
colonial antiques but a few patriotic
Virginia women saved the building
from further Indignity though not en-
tirely from danger as the old furni-
ture found a new abiding place within
the still more inflammable Braddock
bouse adjoining
In 1732 John S Carlyle imported
from tbe Isle of Wight the stone of
which the house Is built and be ab-
sorbed for part of the foundation a
portion of an old fort which had been
built many years before for tb protec-
tion of the English traders at Hunting
Creek as the place was then known
against the Indians The barracks of
that ancient defense became the cellar
of the Carlyle house and In those
cool dark dry retreats were stored in
Washington's day the bulging casks
cob-webbed bottles and delicious old
hams for which Virginia has long been
noted
Another part of the old fort forms
tbe plaxa at the rear of the house upon
which tbe broad central ballway
opens It was upon this plaza in the
far away days that tbe Carlyles and
tbelr guests gathered on summer eve-
nlngs to discuss the questions of the
II
time or to pass the hours rh&ttlng
over a hesrtsome glass amid the
soothing smoke of the fragrant Orono-
ko It was there the young people
watched the moon rise over the rivet
and took tbelr pleasures in the decor-
ous manner of those days
Then the gardens ran down to tbe
river's bank and overlooked the docks
at which the trading craft were moored

HAD THE STAFF GUESSING
Niw Reporter's Monumental Bluff Al-
most Deserved to Succeed But
He Overlooked One Point
Tbe New Reporter (going to the tele-
phone and ostrntatlously starting the
machinery)— Hello central! Let me
have 2743 C please (A pause) You
giddy little thing! No I said twen ty-
seven Twenty aev— Hello! Is that
J74S C? la Mr Sawgertees Devoy In
the office Will you tell him that Mr
the seas to barter the silks and riches
of the east and the 'tropic abundance
of the West Indies in return for the fa-
mous tobacco with which Alexandria's
one big w arehouse was filled That was
a period of bounteous hospitality and
courtly grace
On the right of the broad hallway Is
tbe large drawing room In Washing-
ton's day It was finished In gold and
white and there on many occasions be
took an active part In ball and fes-
tivity and led many a fair Virginian
through tbe stately steps of the minuet
and the less exacting reel The ball-
way ltsplf if tradition be correst to
not without its sentimental interest
for it was at the foot of the beautiful
staircase of solid mahogany that
Washington awaited the coming of the
lovely Sally Fairfax upon a particular
evening and while escorting her into
the ballroom offered her bis heart
which she rejected
On the opposite side of this same
hall 1s the blue and white room which
was John Carlyle's particular retreat
Within that room Washington received
his commission as a member of Gen-
eral Braddock's staff in 1755 What
that meant to Washington we can only
partly divine but there is no doubt of
Its significance to us as a nation be-
cause of what it taught him of the
fighting ways of the British soldier
From the broad portico of Mount
Vernon Washington saw Braddock ar-
rive with his transports and his regi-
ments of red coated soldiery and pass
onward to Alexandria nine miles
above coming with the splendid tradi-
tions of the king's troops and with all
the martial fanfare of regulars As a
leader of the local provincial troops
Washington had won for himself a
creditable renown but here were sol-
diers supposedly of sterner stuff and
higher military capabilities
General Braddock promptly accepted
the hospitable invitation of John Car-
lyle and established hto headquarters
under the roof of that gracious host
the little blue and white room becom-
ing the council chamber in which were
planned the preparations for that mem-
orable but ill fated campaign against
the Indians Washington's previous ex-
perience as a leader of local troops
gainst the savages made him wel-
come at those conferences and bto
keen Judgment and practical advice
earned for him Braddock’s admiration
and the invitation to sen-e upon the
British general's staff It is enough
to add that in the trying work that
followed the British records testify
that "the Virginia officers and troops
behaved like men and died like sol-
diers” and Washington came out of
the strife unscathed and riper for the
far more serious task that lav ahead
of him
The architectural student will find
much to interest him and to warrant
study In the Carlyle house The old
windows the doorways the primitive
cupboards chalrboards doorsteps cop-
nlces molding etc are exquisite in
taste and rich in qualntnesa and ele-
gance of detaiL There they are as
they were in Washington's time and
In common with tbe rest of the man-
sion are regarded as among the best
specimens of tbe so-called colonial
style

stituted in Alezandria and the citizens
were Justly proud of their enterprise
The market place then lay directly in
front of the approach to tbe Carlyle
house and that same mart of country
produce was intimately identified with
Washington's domestic life at Mount
Vernon and was one other means of
displaying his common Bense We of
today know but little of the hardships
of that colonial period and feasting
was not always as abundant as the
story book would have 1L Rev Mr
Weems that chatty chronicler of the
times tells us that Alexandria then
boasted more rightly of its beauty than
its means of charming the palate
“The neighborhood of Eelle Haven
was not a desert on the contrary it
was in many places a garden spot
abounding with luxuries But Its in-
habitants the wealthy were not wise
By the successful culture of tobacco
they bad money And having filled
their oach houses with gilt carriages
and their dining rooms with gilt glass-
es they began to look down upon tbe
poorer sort and to talk about families
"Of course it would never do for
such great people to run market carts!
Hence the poor Belle Havenites
though embosomed In plenty were
often in danger of gnawing their nails
And unless they could cater a lamb
from some good natured 'cracker' or a
leash of chickens from the Sunday ne-
groes were obliged to sit down with
long faces to a half graced dinner of
salt meat and journey cake
"This was the order of the day A D
'59 vi ben Washington Just married to
the wealthy young widow Custis had
settled at Mount Vernon nine miles
below Belle Haven Tbe unpleasant
situation of the families at that placs
soon reached his ears To a man of
his character with too much spirit to
follow a bad example when he bad the
power to set a good one and too much
wit to look tor happiness anywhere but
in bis own bosom it could not long be
questionable what part he had to acL
"A market cart was instantly con-
structed and regularly three times a
week sent off to Belle Haven filled
with nice roasters kidDey covered
lamb and veal green geese fat ducks
and gobblers chickens by the basket
fresh butter new laid eggs vegetables
and fruit of all sorts Country gen-
tlemen dining with their friends In
town very soon remarked the welcome
change in dieL 'Bless us all' ex-
claimed they 'what's the meaning of
this? You invited us to family fare
and here you have given us a lord
mayor's feasL' 'Yes' replied the oth-
ers thank God for sending a Colonel
Washington into our neighborhood ”

The world is well aware that a
stern kaiser has forbidden bis officers
to dance the tango or to go to tango
parties They say that a young lieu-
tenant met a friend in the streets of
Berlin the other day and embraced
him with fervor
"I'm dying of loneliness!” said the
lieutenant
“What!” said the friend "lonely In

"Just that” returned the other
“You can't go to anybody's bouse any
more They all dance the tango"—

Thousands of Them on

Island
Reservation Where Thrive Great
Flocks of Cormorants Gulls Peli-
cans and Cranes — Most Dense-
ly Populated Rookery
Salt Lake City — One of the most
densely populated rookeries in the
world is Hat island in the Great Salt
lake Too remote from the mainland
to be disturbed save by the passing
boat parties on a rocky mountain top
that juts a hundred feet above the
brine with not a drop of fresh water
to be found and where there is noth-
ing to excite the cupidity or commer-
cial instinct of man these bird3 make
their home
The island can be seen at a dis-
tance of ten miles rising like a
"cocked bat” out of the sapphire of
the Inland sea As one nears “The
Hat" great pelicans with their enor-
mous pouches showing distinctly cir-
cle near the craft and settle lazily in
the water Seagulls at first singly
then In pairs and finally by hundreds
also join in the "reception commit-
tee” As the boat comes to rest in a
little cove of the island tecs of thou-
sands of shrieking screaming birds fill
the air The birds are utterly fear-
less Protected as they are by the
laws of tbe state they have had little
cause to fear man and his death-dealing
weapons
Landing was made In a skiff on a
spit of clean white sand The air was
literally alive with birds Beautiful
white-breasted seagulls tern gulls
darker and more slender built but
larger than the other gulls blue her-
ons commonly called blue cranes
great flocks of huge unwieldly peli-
cans that measure six to nine feet
from tip to tip when full grown and
an occasional cormorant the greatest
fisher of them all — rose from the
ground deserting their nests and
their young and circled In a living
cloud

est care to avoid stepping on the

nests and eggs of the tens of thou-
sands of sea fowl that have estab-
lished their rookeries on that islet of
12 acres" says Gordon H Place “The
eggs of the gull colored like those of
the English sparrow but almost as
large as those of a chicken were
found by the hundreds in the hot
white sand with no protection from
the elements There were the eggs
of the tern fcull too a little larger
and darker than those of the ordinary
gull
“Then there were the pelican eggs
larger than a goose egg and chalky
white The eggs of the blue heron or
crane are a beautiful blue almost like
those of tbe robin but of course mucb
larger Those of the cormorant of
which we found only a few as they
have their principal rookeries on an-
other island are white with tiny
freckles of rusty brown
"Thousands of young seagulls look-
ing almost like young barnyard chicks
but with longer sharper beaks scram-
bled from our path or squaw ked feebly
