This home Is on the shore of the Po-tomoc in and as I stood out in the front yard 1 could look over Into Maryland and Pennsylvania. 1 went out In a steamer across the Potomac River, and 1 certainly enjoyed my trip, as 1 gated out over the river and saw the steamers gliding across it I actually thought that 1 most be dreaming. This Is the most expensive trip I ever made and it cost me only S3 cents in all (the fare on the ship and sights and all. I think It was worth while.

Deside the usual business and social meeting the observance of Treasure Day made the afternoon not only interesting but altogether good. Several treasures are now together consisting of jewelry and silver bowls to be sent to France In behalf of the support of the French orphans in the school at Grenable. May the few treasures that Rapid City has to offer not only extend to them a helping hand In their great need bat also afford an added treasure in the hearts of the giver, for having played just a pmall part in the great appeal made to generous and prosperous America. Yeoman Service Flag Has Twenty-three Stars Tuesday night the Brotherhood of American Yeomen held a very interesting meeting, the special feature being the presentation of a service flag to the lodge. The flag was presented by Joe Garland in a splendid talk and was accepted by Mrs.

J. K. Smith, president, In equally appropriate remarks. During the exercise fj. h.

Hurlbut made some very excellent and helpful remarks. The three daughters of Mrs. George Darnett had recitations and there were other numbers which added to the Interest. Twenty-three stars adorn the flag. i Fritz Schlcuning Buried Yesterday Funeral services for Frits Schleun-Ing were held yesterday at St.

Mary's church at' 9:30 'o'clock attended by a large number of old-time friends and acquaintances and many others. Beautiful flowers covered the casket. Many firemen were present to pay their respects to one who had been a member since he was a lad. The bearers were Messrs. Newbow-ers, Bimbaum, (Rousseau, Rano, Dahlin and J.

Schneider. The music was especially good, several voices being added In appreciation of the faithful service given by Miss Emllle Schleuning during the past years. Tent Meetings Attract Many Interested Listeners In his lecture at the gospel tent last night on "Origin of Sin Mr. Fish said: "Sin is the disobeying of God's command." He cited to the case of Adam and Eve whose fall came as the result of disobedience. To Cain the Lord said: "If thou doeat well shalt thou not be accepted and if not sin lleth at the door." In the New Testament the Lord says "He that committeth sin trangresseth also the law for sin is the transgression of the law:" "Sin bad Its origin in heaven, among the angels, which necessitated the expulsion of Satan and bis sympathizers from that abode of bliss." The devil In whom sin originated was not pictured as one having horns, hoofs, tall, and farcked tongue, but as an angelic being who once held a high position In heaven and was perfect In beauty and wisdom.

After his expulsion from heaven, he succeeded in enlisting man, whom God had created upright, under his banner of darkness. The devil is In no sense In partnership with the Lord as light aijd darkness will not mingle. He Is the same old adversary, whom Peter pictures as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. "God desires His creatures to serve Him because they love Him, and we show our love to Him by service. If this lofty angel had been destroyed Immediately after his sinning the angels would have served God through fear rather than love, CaIvary stands for his destruction as we learn from Heb, 2:14.

and when this sentence Is executed 1 upon the arch rebel and all his stib-pects, and the earth itself is re deemed from the taint of sin, accord ing to God's original purpose- affliction shall not rise up the second time. In other words, Satan and his followers will be destroyed forever, and with their distraction sin will be blotted1 from the universe." Tonight the subject "Christ Our Saviour" will be the theme.

It wJU be remembered that Minnie Mechtle went to Washington In the spring to act as a stenographer In one of the departments. She has been successful In her work there and has received an Increase la salary twice already. In addition to doing her work well she la doing some sightseeing to good advantage as the following letter to her family will show: Now I will tell you what I did the Fourth. In the morning I went' to the Washington Monument with a lady who stays here, where some exercises were going on.i- I saw, a French ambassador who was a guet of 1'resident Wilson, and I shook bands with him. President Wilson gave a speech at -Mt.

Vernon In the afternoon and decorated the Tomb of George Washington and hi family. There was such a crowd of peo ple and our soldier boys looked grand. Some of them climbed In through the windows of the cars that took them to Mt. Vernon. We could not go with our tickets In our hands as the many soldiers of various nations took all the room and they surely ought to go 'first.

-The train was so full that the police tried linrd to keep them We did not miss much. There were various officers here from foreign countries. Tho French army and navy were here, also the Russian army and various other armies not the whole army, but enough to give drills and sing songs, it was stirely amusing to iee them perform and bear them slnf. In the evening we saw a wonderful parade. We 'were at the Capitol when we saw; it.

It 'consisted of the-'various '-armies', marching, and slngln? their war songs. Our boys In khaki marched first. The parade lasted 'or several hours. President Wilson alno made a speech at the Capitol, but one had to have a pass to go In, so we did not hear him but after he finished his speech the sailor fatch-men cleared a passage way for htm and as most of the people wero watching the performance on the street, it Just happened that we were the only people near as he came out of the Capitol yard and we were right close up to his limousine as ho passed, and he bowed to us and smiled at us, and we waved back at him. My feet were tired when I got home.

It was late lu the evening when we got home but actually If my feet would have bled I would not have missed that day. I also spoke to the French ambassador and he had a splendid speech. Now I will tell you where we were last Sunday, We were at the Arlington Cemetery and saw the vault that contains Admiral Dewey's remains, also the grave of General Sheridan, and went through the Custls Lee Mansion. We also saw the grave of the French Architect who laid the plan for the City of Washington, and many other things that I did not get to see Decoration Day. I saw a big pear tree all full of little i green pears.

I do not know if General Lee planted it or not. I also saw a mon ument which was put up recently by the Southern women for the Con federate soldiers. I got one day vaca tion last week and we went to Mt, Vernon where Washington's last home was and where he died, en-Joyed this trip more than any of the others. I saw the barn where Washington kept his horses and the harnesses are still' hanging up In the barn, and it has not been altered onu bit. I also was through the mansion.

The doors of the rooms all have a big Iron gate, which Is locked but one can look In and see the contents. Some of the furniture Is original, and some has been replaced but is made Just like the old furniture. The word ''original" is printed on a card and laid on all the original pieces. Nellie Custis, Martha Washington's little daughter's high chair Is still there. That Is in Its original state, also the bed in which Washington died.

Some swords that Washington used in the Revolutionary war are still there. I also saw the carriage that was owned by George Washington. It is surely old and rottenI think if it were moved it would fall to pieces, but the same wheels and all are in yet that were In when Washington used it. I saw in the spinning room where all the machinery that they used in spinning, etc, I was through Martha Washington's kitchen and that was sure.lr Interesting. I saw her soup ladles, copper pans, Iron kettles, and the table that was used, I even sat In a chair that had been used In their time.

The fire place and the kettles are there Just as they were when used, the bake oven Is still iu the wall Just as they used It. I wal also In Martha Washington's flower garden, the very same hedge Is still there and the garden Is In the samn form as she had it, but the flowers have to be replanted each yearthat Is. some of them but they plant old fashioned flowers to keep It as near like she kept It tin possible. I also itaw George WashlnRton's kitchen garden where he raised vegetables that Is also kept up end the employes eat the Vegetables. The tomb that contains the body of George! and Martha Washington and eighteen; othef members' of thft family we visited.

I could look right in and see: the two marble caskets that conta'n tho bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Washing-! ton. The decorations and bouquets given them by President Wilson on the Fourth! were still there. The old In fact, every animal is kept there excepting a giraffe.

There are ostrich, elephant, camel, rebra, bear of every description, Hon. and mon key, and eagles, parrots. There are alligators actually twenty times as larsre as the one down at the School of Mines. There are great big snakes. Oh, I can't begin to tell all.

A very Interesting thing I saw was a red. white and blue turkey, naturally that way. It wa usd In the Cross drive In Oklahoma and presented to President Wilsun and wm? of the animals were presented by Roosevelt. These animals wero alt alive, of course, There are swans and pelicans swimming. Every animal baa its cae fixed to suit.

For Instance, the elk and deer, have a around trees as the park Is in the mountains. In the bird cages, tney have limbs of trees, so the birds can sit on, and the swan, geese, have a pen over a creek which runs through the mountains, and It only cost me ten cents to see all these wonderful things! carfare there and back, included. Wasn't that wonderful! I don't believe I saw everything there, either, as there Is so much to see. I wish some of the rest of you could be with me and see the things I seet Well, it Is bedtime, so goodnight. As ever, Minnie Mechtle, 815 Tenth street, N.
