he passed over portion of its coat
with his large white hand, always
looking to see if it was soiled, or if any
loose hairs had come off on il. If so,
the groom was reprimanded and order
ed to do his work over. Generally,

a pleasant morning he was off; and he
almost always rode W to Point-no-

above Richmond. He was fine horse

a sight worth getting up to see."
Here came pause, and then pro-
pounded the momentous old question :
"Did Washington ever swear ?"
"Well, as for that l can not speak
from my own observations. Washing
ton had great self-control--he was a
moral mana religious man, for those
times, and did not swear upon small
occasions, and, should say, never be-
fore children but, from what have
heard my father and old soldiers say,
think he must have blazed away con-
siderably in times of great excitement.
He was very tender to his favorite
horses, and, at one time remember to
have heard young aide or secretary
ask leave to ride one of his white char
gers, on the way to Mount Vernon, and
the General allowed him to, but eau
toned him not to rein the horse too
| tightly. After awhile, Washington
saw ne was worrying the animal, and
cautioned him again; but the fellow
kept pulling and jerking at the bit un-
til the creature became almost unman-
ageahle."
'Then Washington broke upon him,
like whole battery, ordering him to
dismount, and swore tremendously. |

informant said it was the great st sort
of swearing, yet wasn't SO awful as
Washington's face at the time. He
said, l remember: i never saw the

not told against him. 1t was the fash

A man, less heavy than a horse, has

The dog, less heavy than man, drags
