Used Mud Telegraph Poles.
What a writer calls "the most ori-
ginal telegraph line in the world" once
extended between the city of La Paz
the capital of Bolivia and the town of
Oruro. In this part of Bolivia there
are no growing trees and wood is so
difficult to procure that even the ordin-
ary household furniture of the natives
Is invarli'uly made not of wood but
of dried mud or adobe as it is called.
When the war broke out in 1SS0 be-
tween Chile and Bolivia this material
was used to construct pillars to take
the place of ordinary posts for sup-
porting telegraph wire with the addi-
tion of old bottles as Insulators. These
pillars were subsequently built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base with a
height of about 15 feet. They were
placed at intervals of about S61 feet
and thus held the wire at a height suf-
ficient to clear the only animals of the
country the lama and donkey. The
total length of the line was 15G miles
and it rendered useful service for
some ten years before being replaced
by a wooden telegraph-pole Une.
To Be Original Be Honest and Sincere
To be original we must be natural
that Is enough; and if we are honest
and sincere we shall be original; be-
gin each day with a mind as open as
a child's negatively alive to the new
world and the new year that begins
with every dawn; reverence our im-
pulses respect them as we would the
tenderest shoots from our costliest
bulbs. Theory knowledge prece-
dents kill Impulse even as certainly
s life murders youth. Gutz-n Flor-

CHINESE WELCOMED TO CITY.
Imperial Commissioner and Suite Now
Domiciled at Capital.
Bringing gifts for the president and
Mrs. Uoosevelt the secretary of state
and Mrs. Hoot and other notables the
imperial Chinese Commissioner Tan
Shao.-YI Prince Tsai Fu and their suite
arrived in Washington.
They were met at the station by As-
sistant Secretary of State Bacon ;aid
a detachment of White House aidis.
Immediately after the exchange ot
greetings the visitors were conducted
to the house in Scott Circle arranged
for the official residence. In addition
to the Scott Circle home which is one
of the most commodious In the city
the residence of Rear Admiral Barker
at 1505 Rhode Island avenue has
been fitted up for the accommodation
of the secondary members of the
retinue.
Klaborate plans for a period of offi-
cial entertaining had been completed'
but owing to the three months' period
of court mourning nothing w ill be done
aside from an unofficial exchange of
civilities with those bearing intimate
reiations with the staff.
I Dr. Hale a Loyal Washingtonian
' Repeated winters spent in Wash-
ington are making a loyal Washing-
tonian out of the chaplain of the
senate Dr. Edward Everett Hale. He
denounces the ignorance and stupidity
of those who think that the 30000
office holders are unfit appointees ot
politicians. "In very many depart-
ments." he says "the work done chal-
lenges the wonder and respect of the
experts of the world." He doubts
whether any university in the world
can bring together so large a body ot
accomplished men of science ag can
be seen In Washington during the win-
ter months. As for the congressional
library there Is no other in this coun-
try in which one works with more sat-
isfaction. Year Had Made a Difference.
"Don't sit so near the window dar-

j iiridegroom to his bride on their wed-

is sure to gt in if be gees your prol-
y face!" The same speaker 30 years
ater: "Move up to the window old
woniau so that we may hart the com-
partment to ourselvea; you will frlght-

who had for some time harassed a
young lady with hi attentions was
hurrying along the street behind this
very young lady when ha perceived
with delight loraething drop from her
muff to the aldewalk.
Picking it up the gallant young
man rushed ahead and accosting her
smilingly held out her recovered prop-
erty. Without deigning to accept it alia
eyed him coldly a moment then said:
"You may keep it; it's my mitten."
Bad Scoring.
