July 30, 1807,—President Jefferson spends as much time as possible at his beautiful mountain-top home, Monticel- 10, near Charlottesville, Va. During the Jong “vacation” period, when Congress is often not in session, the President lives several weeks at a time at his Vir- ginia home, which he loves as only a rson can who has drawn the plans and virtually built it, brick by brick, himself. The City of Washington between ses- sions of Congress, and particularly in the middle of the Summer season, is rather a solitude. Not only do the Sena- tors and Representatives, for the most part, leave the Capital City, but so do the foreign ministers, the departure of the President usually being the signal for their leaving. But President JefTerson, during all his sbsences from Washington, keeps in close touch by mail with the public bus- iness. It was announced today that the Postmaster General has established a daily conveyance of mail from Fred- ericksburg, Va., to Monticello, during Mr. Jefferson’s stay there this Summer. The mail is taken to Fredericksburg by the usual mail route down the Potomac to Aquia Creek and then overland. This is a much shorter cut than to go all the way by water, proceeding out of the Potomac, and then all the long dis- tance up the Rappahannock River to the head of tidewater, where Fredericks- burg is situated The of Washington has a very short social season under present phy- sical conditions, and under the admin- istration of the Democratl Thomas Jeferson. But while it lasts the “season” is brillfant enough. A foreign visftor recently described it | #s a round of “parties crowded into little rooms in the different houses here by going three and four miles and some times six miles every evening.” This Summer, as on former occasions, wvisitors, who can do s0, have sought more com- fortable and interesting places of resi- dence than this_city, partly finished, but which Jefferson, the late President Washing- ton. and others belicved to have & won- derful future as a city of beauty. 1f she is going to spend part of her vacation President, | diplomats and most persons which is only President a5 _quickly afterward. Some of these skirts are made from a straight piece of striped canvas, laid in gathers at the waist and fastened with a wide belt of the material. Others are cut in flaring gores. The diagram shows the front and side gores of the skirt in the sketch. There is a fourth back gore cut like the first gore. (Copyright. 1030.) LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

At Smolensk the Swedish king scored was completely defeated, and had to take refuge with the Turks. It was just before and in the fighting at Poltava that Charles displayed that . | stoic herolsm which was characteristic of him. On the 27th of June, 1709, his twenty- seventh birthday, while out reconnoitering, he was wounded. A shot from a carbine shattered the bone of his heel. ‘The monarch, who loved battle more than he loved life, did not show by a single contortion of his face that he had been hit. He calmly continued to give orders and for six hours remained on horseback. It was not until he returned to his tent that a domestic noticed his con- dition. “The sole of your boot. sire, is all covered with blood.” he said. hl;‘fiye," said Charles, “I have been ‘The servant hastened to call sur- geons. While they were coming, the king, now suffering terrible pain, but silent under it, was assisted from his horse and carried into the tent. The surgeon examined the wound. All of them, except one named Newman, held that the leg must be cut off. “By making deep incisions,” he main- tained, “I can save the leg.” ‘The army was in consternation. Charles sent messages of reassurance and turned to Newman. “All right,” he said, “fall to work. Cut boldly and fear nothing.” ‘The stern soldier himself held the leg with his two hands while the operation was performed, gazing at the incisions as composedly as if they were being made upon someone else. Charles went into the Battle of Pol- tava on July 8, borne on a litter at the head of his infantry. During the en- x?gement & cannon ball carried off two of the horses carrying the litter. Their places had scarcely been filled when a emptz'g o FOR SUMME | second shot broke the litter into pieces and threw the king out. The Swedish Army was beaten, but Charles would not flee. Finally his followers put him on a horse. When this was shot from under him, he was remounted, only to have the second steed fall. Placed in a coach, he asked what had become of his generals. “They have been taken prisoner,” he was told. “Prisoners to the Russians,” muttered ‘Charles, shrugging his shoulders. “Come then, let us rather go to the Turks.” After many hardships he was able to place himself under the protection of the Turkish Emperor. He was to re- main thus for five years. Ultimately, he made his way back to Sweden. But he never enjoved his old prowess again. (Copyright, 1930.) Orange Biscuits.

It was indeed a stark defeat, a sore rebuff that made me sweat; and as I journey- ed down the street I scowled at every one I met. Men think it proper when they lose to wear a false and phoney smile, and have it bruited in the news that they reject the piker’s style. They think it seemly to declare there are no sore spots on their forms, they have no gangrene anywhere, they've love for all the human swarms. They would appear sublimely brave, and, Spartan- like, conceal their woun they say the good old flag will wave, whoever runs the village pound.
