THE "LrrTLE HATCHEr' SToRY.-The
Chicago Tribune has new version of the
hatchet story: "Washington's parents were
very particular as to little Georges playfel-
lows, never allowing any but his little cousins
or nephews to visit him. One of these play
fellows, and in some way connected, was one
of the Custis boys, whose first name was
Isaac. Well, Isaac and George were playing
together in the orchard on the day when the
historic cherry tree was disfigured The pa
ternal Washington came along, and was very
much enraged to see his favorite tree cut and
hacked in very bnngling manner. So he
said to George, Come here, you rascal !!
Who cut this cherry tree of minea' George
gazed for moment at the riding-whip in the
old gentleman's hand, and then replied: 'Fa-
ther, / cannot tell a lie, Ike cut 1t ,cith my
little hatchet.'"

For the benefit of those who sometimes
think of visiting this city, perhaps may not
be wasting your space, if l give little infor

to visiting Washington is the expense of living.

of taking less than two weeks time to see any
