To Satisfy the Souvenir Seeker.
Occasionally it is possible to satisfy the souvenir seeker without doing any damage in particular. This is the case at the tomb of George Washington, in Mount Vernon, remarks Golden Daya. A lady had just picked up a pebble from the walk in front of the venerated spot to carry home with her when a workman came up with a wheelbarrow full of gravel, whioh he damped on the spot. "Have you — have you fixed up the place that way recently?" the lady asked in a slightly apprehensive tone. "Bless you, miss," was the reply, "we haa to bo this about every two weeks, - flo as the totirists can have' something to oarry away for BODmeatumal" .
