nOM tlmo out of mind tlio pub-
lic haa been wont to think of
tlio city of Vanlilngton hm
gaining Its crrutcst if not Its
nolo distinction from bolng tho
scat of our national govern
mont-uccrtnlnly honor enough
fot nny community. Within tho
past fow years however tho
city on tho Potomac hits como
to havo another significance. It
1b rapidly taking rank oh tho
foremost residential mccca of
tho wealthy lclsuro clnsn In
America oven surpassing Now-
port In that respect. During
tho past decadn wealthy men and woman havo
been flocking to tho District of Columbia from
all partB of tho country and theso wealthy In-
vaders nro erecting magnificent mansions that
ore coming to vlo with tho government buildings
as objects of Interest to tho tourists and sight-
seers who Journey to Washington ench year
Tho monoyed folk who nro taking up their res-
ldcnca nt tho capital of tho nation nro distinctly
of tho leisure class. No multl-mllllonalro would
think of settling In Washington primarily for
business rennons. Thero Is practically no manu-
facturing nnd no oxtonslvo commercial Interosts
In tho city nono of tho ordinary
channols of wealth production for
Americans. However it Is Just this
ubsoticu of tho commercial ntmoB-
phero combined with tho mild nud de-
lightful winter cltmato nt Washington
that Is attracting so many of tho well-
to do newcomers. Having mndo their
fortunes tboy nro engor to enjoy llfo
In n city wl)oro almost overybody hns
moro or loss leisure; whero thero aro
lnflnlta opportunities for amusement;
where tho cllmato is conducive to out-of-door
sport all tho year and whero
finally thero Is over to bo witnessed
tho spectacle of ofllclnl Ufa with its
parades ceremonies nnd picturesque
social functions.
Wholo "colonics" of wenlthy folk
havo migrated from different cities
to Wnshlngton notably from Chicago
rittsburg Now York and Iloston nnd
to somo extent theso cokmlcB havo
foregathered In certain districts In
their ndoptcd city. A most Interest-
ing group of multimillionaires tho
momboru of which havo latoly built
hniidsomo mansions In Washington Is
mado up of what Is known as tho
"South African millionaires'' men
who acquired tho bulk of their for-
tunes In tho gold mines and tho dia-
mond mines of tho Dark Continent
Among theso men w ho nro now enjoy-
Ing llfo nt Washington nro Honnon
Jennings CJnrdnor Williams who was
for a long tlmo manager of tho fa-
mous Do Doers diamond mlnoB and
John Hnys Himmond chum of Presi-
dent Taft and tho highest Balnrlod
mining engineer and oxport In tho
world
Perhaps tho most notable foaturo of tho In
vision of Washington is found In tho numbor of
famous nnd wealthy widows who havo tnkon up
their nldo there most of thorn purchasing or
erecting mansions. Among tho well-known wid-
ows who havo "adopted" Washington aro Mrs
Oeorgo M. Pullman widow of tho founder of tho
sleeping enr company; Mrs. Mark Hannn Mrs
John Hay Mrs. Albert Clifford Bnmoy Mrs It n
HUt. Mis. "Phil" Shorldan. Mrs. John A. Logan
Mrs Thomas P. Wnlsh widow of tho Colorado
mining king; Mrs. Mary Scott Townsond who In-
herited many millions mndo In Pennsylvania coal
and oil Interosts; Mrs. Slator who requires 18
servants to mlnlstor to hor lono comfort In a
monster mniiBlon .and a number of othcrx.
Tho Influx of wealthy householders has causod
tho price of real estato In Washington to ndvanco
by leaps and V mis In thoso favored sections of
tho norUiwett portion of tho city which Is being
to a consldorablo extent monopolized by tho fash-
ionables. Land thnt a fow years ago sold for
fl to 2 per squaro foot bos Jumpod within n fow
years to $10 per square foot and In somo oxclu-
tvo neighborhoods It Is almost Imposslblo to so-
euro a lnrgo building slto for Wo or money. Tho
mansions which havo been erected havo cost
Ml the wpjr from $50000 to $1000000 each and
somo of thorn havo stnbles and garages that havo
cost aa much as $25000 each.
Tho two principal hubs of this now moneyed
colonization of tho most beautiful city In the
world nro found In the two llttlo circular parks
or plazas known rospoctlvoly as Dupont circle
and ahcrldan clrclo so named bocauso statuos
of theso heroes graco theso bits of greensward.
Around Dupont clrclo nro groupod tho stately
mansions of Mrs. L. Z. Loiter nnd Mrs. Itohort
W. Patterson of Chicago tho Herbert Wads-
worths of Now York; Mr. nnd Mrs. W. J. Board-
man and their daughter MIbs Mabol (of Ited

Pathetic Case
Not so long ago tho writer heard a llttlo part-
ing talk botwecn a married eouplo. It wasn't a
cobo of eavesdropping because tho conversation
wns right thero to bo necessarily ovcrhonrd. Tho
man was over forty and his wlfo was pretty closo
to forty hcrsolf
"Well you look pretty good to me now thnt
you'ro hiking off young feller" ho said to her
sort of sneaking his hand ovor so'o to got hold
of hers. "Look pretty middling good to mo any
old tlmo when It comes to that It begins to
look to mo that I'm mashod on jou beyond all re-
demption. If it does you any good to havo your
man mal.n that kind of a fool schoolboy speech
after all ouf years at tho matrimony thing why
you'ro wolcomo kid that's all."
"Woll I'll tako mlno out In thinking dear" sho
replied "and I'll wrlto all of my foolish things
In my lotters. Now you'ro honestly going to
remembor to feed tho' canary overy day aren't

but you yourself will food llttlo Dickie ovcrv

"Suro I'll feed tho bird. Say. I'vo
Just been noticing thoso hazel eyes '

and
"Such silliness!'' sho Interrupted
him looking pleased. "Now dearfo

Mellnda to cook you those dreadful
mosses things with horrid cheeso in
them that you'ro bo crazy over and
thnt mako you sick will you? Prom-
lso mo solemnly onco again now

"Nixon cheesy things as solomn as
iou want It" said ho. "Going to bo a mighty
dreary dismal old lmitntlon of a flat without you 
In It sis. and don't you over xorgot mat. it suro
docs get mo gulpy around tho gluo works to seo
you going oft and I find that It's getting harder
overy timo you go away for a llttlo trip to seo
your folks. One of theso old days I'm going to
pour an awful gob of grief all over you by going
along with you when you go away."
"Now listen Jim; I darned up all your socks
day beforo yesterday but I forgot to put them
in your drawer nnd you'll find thorn In my work
basket and my work basket Is In tho box couch
In tho sitting-room and for mercy's sako Jim

you? Now there jou nro with a fnrnway look
In your eyes and you'ro not hearing one singlo
solitary word that I'm saying to you."
"O'ttay I'vo heard overy word you'vo said. You
said you sewed somo buttons on the box couch
in tho spnro room nnd that "
"Now Just listen to thatl Listen to mo sir-

hundred and fifty yards beforo ho An-
ally stopped.
"I then decided ho had tho bait thor-
oughly swallowed and I struck or
snagged him very hardy as I felt ho
wns a largo fish and I wanted to hook
blm forcibly. Ho was lying flat on
the bottom I suppose when I snagged
him and his weight nud tho forco
which I gave It snapped my steel rod
bol -w tho reel. Unfortunately tho
end of tho rod to which was attached
tho reel and tho lino went ovor tho
end of tho boat into the lako In twenty
feet of water with the fish on tho oth-
er end of It. I supposo I must have
had out twenty to thirty yards of lino.
"As soon as It struck tho fish broko
water showing himself to us In full
ns thoy usually do and wo saw ho
was a very largo muskclli-ngo largor
than I had over hooked. Wo decided
to try and pick up tho line with a
drag. Wo tried to do so with tho
tackle In our boat working for por-
haps fifteen to twonty minutes but
wero unablo to do It
"Wo decided to go to camp and dis-
cuss the matter. After lunch Jlmmlo
Gorman made a drag and with tho as-
sistance of another guide wo started
for tho middle of tho lako to pick up
tho broken tacklo
"Wo rowed out in tho lake and to
my mind tho most remnrkablo ovent
of the day happened showing extra-
ordinary ability on the part of my
guldo. Wo rowed to a point In tho
lako whero thero wero no marks ox-
enpt shore lines when Uorman said:
"This Is whero he struck and this
is perhaps whero wa will And him.
Drop the drag.
"Wo did so. and I nra quite suro wo
did not row threo boat lengths until
we picked up tho end of tho line.
"Fortunately wo picked up the lino
near the reel and Immediately lifted It
and tho broken rod out of tho wator
without disturbing the fish nt tho oth-
er end. Wo immediately changed the
line off the broken tacklo onto a new
rod and found tho weight of the Csh
on the end. Ho had not gotten uu-
hookod. "Then began tho .most beautiful
fight it has been my pleasure to havo
In ray limited fishing experience. Tho
big muskle had been qulot and seem-
ingly was as full of fight as ever. Ho
certainly gave us a pleasant tlmo un-
til wo wero able to bring him up to
gaff.
"Fishermen who have the muskel-
lungo 'habit' will know what such a
fight means especially when thoro is
a fish. on tho lino whoso least move-
ment or weight on the Ilea would
break the tackle. I am having the fish
mounted."
