The nnfinivlieil bust mode by Gilbert Kluurt lit Waahington's own request. It is
the world's not' pled portrait. Stuart explained that the constrained appearance of his
subject's mouth was due to a new set of false teeth which Washington was u-iing. The

...JAUNT TO A HISTORIC SHRINE: ROCKY HILL...
UN'T ELLIE," Bald Dick
Graham, looking up
from his history lesson,
"where Is Rocky Hill?"
"There are several
Rocky
Hills
replied Aunt Elite,
smiling. "I think a lad by the name
of Richard, commonly-called Dick,
Graham, discovered one last week, by
the look of his stockings," and she
held up a pair of Dick's hose, or what
was left of them, for they were most
ly holes.
"Oh, I guess that happened when
we tried to coast down hill after tho
last snow Btorm," said Dick.
"If It Is United States history you
want for your Rocky Hill, I can easily
tell you," Aunt Ellle declared, "for
Rocky Hill, near our own Princeton,
is famous as the place where General
George Washington wrote his fare
well address to the American Army,
at the close of the struggle of the
thirteen colonies with England. I
should like to take you on a little
,1aunt to Rocky Hill some day. There
Is a quaint old house still standing
there, cared for by loving and reverent
hands, protected from the assaults of
time and weather and kept as a shrine
for those who love to seek out and
visit the places which have played an
active part In our country's history.
And Rocky Hill lias done all that.
"It was long after the great events
of the war. Battles had been fought,
some won, some lost. The red coats
had been driven hither and yon, and
two years before, down at Yorktown,
Lord Cornwalrls had laid down his
arras and surrendered to the Ameri
can Army.
"All the beautiful country about
Princeton was decked in Us autumn
coloring, trees In scarlet and gold,
Just as you'd find them next fall if.
you journey thither, and the autumn
posies were ablaze in the fields and
meadows. The real contest had been
over for a long time, and many offi
cers and soldiers were off on furlough.
Across the sea the peace treaty had
been signed. On October 18, 1783,
only one day less than two years after
that memorable October 19, 1781,
when Cornwallis laid down his arms,
Congress issued a proclamation dis
charging the soldiers from further
service. Thus the American Army
was disbanded.
. "Washington was located at the
mansion of Judge Berrien, on Rocky
Hill, Congress being In session at
Princeton. The Commander-in-Chief
held many conferences with the mem
bers of Congress, and it was quite es
sential that he should be near at
hand.
"So the time came when he must
formally say goodby to the men who
had fought so faithfully under him.
These were men who had gone hun
gry and cold for the American cause
at Valley Forge; who had been strick
en with fever and plague at Morris
town; who had been blistered with
the sun on Monmouth field and froz
en with the ice of the Delaware; who
had retreated footsore and heart sick
across Jersey, .and who had dashed
recklessly down on sleeping Paulus
Hook. These were men who had
mlled into the blue eyes of dainty

ft
Colonial maids at Baron Steuben's
lawn party and who had laughed at
the flying bullets nt Springfield and
Connecticut Farms. How was he to
say farewell to these men?
"The farewell address of Washing
ton Is one that will stand for cen
turies as a model for all men. You
can read It to-day and find In It coun
sel which can not but make you bet
ter and truer citizens of thnt country
which Washington and his men gave
to you.
"In It are cordial and affectionate
thanks for the devotion of officers
and soldiers, and for the manner in
which they discharged their duties,
and reasonable advice as (o their con
duct In resuming the chnrncter of
private citizens.

Washington, 'that the reputation of

let the consciousness of their achieve- :
ments and fame still Incite the men
who composed them to honorable ac-
Hons, under the persuasion that tho ,
private virtues of economy, prudence props of the duties of men and cltl
and industry will not be less amiable sens. The mere politician, equally
In civil life than the more splendid with the pious man, ought to respect
qualities of valor, perseverance and
enterprise when In the field.'

as it did in the early days of our
country!
"Well, to get back to the old time
house which sheltered Washington so
hospitably. It stood for more than a
century on Rocky Hill, until just ten
years ago It was moved from the old
foundations to new ones, half a mile
distant. We are grateful Indeed for
all these famous old places that have
been preserved through many years
but especially grateful are we for
this fine old place at Rocky Hill,
which saw the writing of the farewell
address." Newark Call.
George Washington's Lottery.
It is not generally known that the
great Father of his Country was on
at least one occasion tho originator
of a lottery, the like of which at the
present day would be forbidden to
send its tickets through the mails.
That George Washington was inter
ested in Buch a scheme Is proven by a
number of tickets still In existence
which bear his august name. It was
the Mountain Road lottery, cf which
George was the promoter, and It Is,
of course, unnecessary to state that
Washington himself did not finan
cially profit from it. All the funds
raised by the lottery were spent In
building the road through the Cum
berland Gap, near Fredericksburg,
Va. Originally the -lottery tickets
which Washington signed were worth
$1 each. Now because they bear his
signature they are easily sold for $50
apiece, though it is certain that not
one of them will ever draw a prize.

The Words of Washington.
(Selected From tho Speeches of
George Washington.)
The battlefield should be the last
resource of untlons.
There Is a natural nnd necessary
progression from the extreme of an
archy to the extreme of tyranny, and
arbitrary power Is moBt easily estab
lished on the ruins of liberty abused
to licentiousness.
The basis of our political systems
to tho right of the people to make
and to alter their constitutions of
government. . But the constitution
which at any time exists, till changed
by an explicit and authentic act of
the whole people, Is sacredly obliga
tory upon all.
It Is among the evils, and perhaps
not the smallest, of democratlcal
governments, that the people must
feel before they can see. When this
happens, they are aroused to action;
hence It Is that those kinds of gov
ernment are so slow.
Observe good faith and justice to
ward all nations, and Cultivate peace
and harmony with all; religion and
morality enjoin this conduct, and can
It be thnt good policy does not equal
ly enjoin It? It will be worthy of a
free, enlightened, nnd at no distant
period, a great nation, to give to
mankind the magnanimous, and the
novel example of a people always
guided by unexcelled Justice and be
nevolence.
Fully apprised of the Influence
which sound learning has on religion
and manners, on government, liberty
and law, I shall only lament my want
of abilities to make it still more ex
tensive.
Lenity will operate with greater
force, In some lnstnnces, than rigor;
It Is, therefore, my first wish to have
my whole conductdlstlngltlshed by It.
I have already Intimated to you the
danger .of parties in the State; let
me now take a more comprehensive
view, and warn you In tho most sol
emn manner against the baneful ef
fects of the spirit of party generally.
In proportion as the structure of a
government gives force to public
opinion, It Is essential that public
opinion should be enlightened.
Religion Is as necessary tojrnson
ns reason Is to religion; one cannot
exist without the other; a reasoning
being would lose his renson in at
tempting to account for the great
phenomena of nature had he not a
supreme being to refer to, and well
has It been said that If there had no
God mankind would have been
obliged to Imagine one.
Retaliation Is certainly Just, and
sometimes necessary, even where at
tended with the severest penalties,
but when the evils which may be and
must result from It etceed those In

avoided.
Of all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity, re
ligion and morality are Indispensable
supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute of patriotism who
should labor to Bubvert those pillars
of human happiness, these firmest
and to cherish them. A volume could
not trace all their connections with
private and public feljclty. Let. -It
simply be asked, Where is the secur

to expect that national morality can
prevail In exclusion of religious principle.
THAT CHERRY TREE AFFAIR,
G. Washington "Whew! I hate to
tackle this job, but I've got to break
luto the history books somewhere."
Dutch-German Pedigree.
The pedigree of tho Dutch-German
branch of the Washington family
goes back to the middle of the sev
enteenth century, to James Washing
ton, brother of General Washington's
great-grandfather, John. In. 1G50
James emlgrnted to Holland, while
John, with his brother Andrew, emi
grated In 1656 to Virginia. James
settled In Rotterdam, and married
Clara Van der Lanen, daughter of
the Burgomaster of that port. The
youngest of his five children, a son
named Jacob, who In 1724 Intermar
ried with Catharine Maria Wynantz,
from whom this continental Wash
ington descended.
. The rule that after having flour
ished for three generations a family
declines did not hold good In the
case of the European Wrashlngtons.
The first Jacob was a justice of the
peace, his three sons became either
civil or mlltary officers In the service
of the government of the Nether
lands, and one of his grandsons, a
Jacob, born In 1778, was made a
lieutenant-general In the Bavarian
army, was created a baron and mar
ried a titled lady of Bavaria. It was
to this Bavarian family that this
young Baron de Washington be
longed. Washington's- Exnmplc Complete.
The life of our Washington cannot
suffer by n comparison with those of
other countries who have been most
celebrated and exalted by fame. The
attributes and decorations of royalty
could only have served to eclipse the
majesty of those virtues which made
him from being a modest citizen a
more resplendent luminary. Misfor
tune, had he lived, could hereafter
have Bullied his glory only with those
superficial minds who, believing that
characters and actions are marked
by success alone, rarely deserve to en
Joy It. Malice could never blast his
honor, and envy made him a singular
etceptlon to her universal rule. For
himself he had lived long enough for
life and glory. For his fellow citi
zens. If their prayers could have been
answered, he would have been Im
mortal. His example Is now com
plete, and It will teach wisdom and
virtue to magistrates, citizens and
men, not only In the present age, but
in all future generations, as long as
our history shall be read. John
Adams.
Washington's Poise.
The moderation of his desires and
the strength of his Judgment enabled
him to calculate correctly that the
right path to that glory which never
dies is to use power for the support
of the laws and the liberties of our
country, not for Its destruction, and
his fame will, accordingly, survive
the wreck of everything now living.

JAVELLE WATER.
Javelle water will take out stains
from linen and cotton. Take one
pound of salsoda and five cents' worth
of chloride of lime; put them In an
earthen bowl and turn over them two
quarts of boiling hot, soft water; rain
water Is the best. Let it settle, then
pour'off. Bottle and keep for use. It
will remove fruit stains, and even
take out Indelible ink spots, When
used soak the stain till It disappears.
Then wash It in water. Boston Post.
THE HAIR PILLOW.
Few people know the comfort In
summer of a hair pillow. Who would
think of sleeping upon a feather bed

pillow twenty by fifteen Inches
nnd make for it a simple slip of linen.
Lay your weary head upon this some
hot night and you will dream of cool

bly of Icebergs. Pittsburg Dispatch.
THE STOCKING DARNER.
The mother who groans over the
(lestructlveness of her young son on
tho knees of his stockings should
adopt the plan of ona Ingenious moth
er who has learned how to make
stockings last twice as long.
In buying she selects stockings ns
long as they can bo bought, and he
fora wealing runs a flat tuck about
the ankle just below the shoe top
where it will not rub In walking.
When tho knees of her son's stock
ings becomo hopelessly darned the
tuck Is ripped and the worn pnrt
raised so that It slips under the short
trousers while a whole knee takes Its
place. New York Herald.
CLEAN AND RESTORE VELVETS.
Light velvets are cleaned by gently
rubbing with a flannel previously
dipped In kerosene, or if the material
be soiled In spots only, by rubbing
with a little butter, when the wrong
side requires drawing over a hot Iron
in order to raise the pile, or they may
be cleaned by brushing with cornmeal
until the soil Is removed.
Black and colored velvet, If not
dirty, but only creased, Is freshened
by holding wrong side down close to
but not on a hot flat iron on which
has first been placed a damp cloth,
the steam eradicating the creases and
raising the pile.
When It has been steamed all over
remove the wet cloth and draw the
velvet on the wrong side over the iron
to dry It. To clean mud-spotted
black velvet a solution of equal parts
of spirits of wine, ox-gall and water
will be found efficacious.
The method employed to clean
light and dark velveteen is a very
simple one. A lnther of white soap is
made, Into which the velveteen Is
dipped, then placed on a board or ta
ble and scrubbed the way of the pile
with a clean nail brush until all the
dirt has been removed, when It Is
rinsed in clean, cold water, but not
squeezed or wrung, as this would
spoil the pile.
It is dried in the air, and some
times the back is drawn over a hot
iron, but this is not absolutely neces
sary. To clean and brighten light satins
chloroform or benzine may be used.

BUYING STILL RESTRICTED
Industrial Operations, Also, Far Below
Normal in Most Directions.
Tariff Bogy Blamed.
Bradstreets sums up the situation
as follows:
"Trado Is quiet as a whole, and In
dustrial operations are still below
normal in most lines. Conservatism
In buying is still marked, and there
is also present the feeling of disap
pointment hitherto noted at the fail
ure of spring trade to open up more
rapidly. Some measures of trade
volume showed slight recessions In
January from December, hut the fail
ure record was an encouraging one,
and the Improvement over the same
month a year ago, when business was
at a low ebb. Is general and marked.
Collections are little changed, and
classed as fair, as a whole.
"The disposition In many lines Is
still to attribute slowness of demand
In opening up to fear of tariff revi
sions, but there Is mnnifest now a
disposition to recognize more fully
the play of natural requirements pro
ceeding from reduced earning power
of the community.
First, probably. In point of activity
at present are the demands for fer
tilizers, seeds, implements and simi
lar goods, this being most marked at
Western centers.
"The leather trades are fairly ac
tive and the shipments of shoes are
making a far better exhibit than some
time ago, or than In the same period
a year ago.
"In the manufacturing Industries,
such as Iron and steel, business Is
quieter. Some large orders for rails
have been placed, but pig iron Is
weaker and finished products are less
active despite concessions in many
lines.
"Business failures . In the United
States for the week ending February
4 were 286, against 311 last week;
272 In the same week of 1908; 198 In
1907; 204 in 190C, and 207 in 1905.
Canadian failures for the week num
ber 37, which compares with 42 last
week and 50 In this week last year."
