Brief Facts About Washington. George Washington is being held up to view just now by men who would compare themselves and other to him, and we thought the following clipping from an old paper might be of value to readers who want tangible grounds for their faith not mys tic lore hallowed by centuries of sentimental glamour. Men were human a hundred years ago, just as they are human to-day, and subject to the same passions. He wrote bad poetry. He died of acute laryngitis. He was generous to a fault. He never made a set speech. He was sensitive to all criticism. He was the best horseman of his time. For three years he was a land surveyer. Like Lincoln, he was fond of a good play. Spelling was always a weak point with him. As a young man he fell in love at least a dozen times. His mouth was large, and he had a habit of clinching his jaws. He played cards and billards, and was not averse to betting. He could swear with great vig or and got in towering passions at times. He was 6 feet 3 inches in height, and his hands and feet were ex tremely large. His eyes were light blue verg ing on gray, ana his hair was a dark brown. He always questioned his own ability, and was ready to consid er the advice of his friends. He suffered from toothache, and before his death every tooth in his head had been extracted. He was devoted to outdoor sport and on the Potomac often went out before breakfast to shoot ducks. His death was hastened by a doctor, who bled him when he was in such a week state that such a course of action could not but prove fatal. J. K.
