THE SAD STORY OF BLoBBs AND HIS

Following close the masters footsteps. seldom they
were far apart;
And his love grew deeper stronger with the passing
of each day

brains had racked-

General sherman's Indian Policy.

What are your sentiments regarding

Indians ?'' 5.. s'<
Gen. Sherman smiled. ....

tations ?" e-"i-a
General Sherman smiled again., and
said
"I am sorry that I can't express an opin-
ion, but you understand that as a public
man am not at liberty to tellall think or
know. It wouldn't do for me to begin to
criticise Crook Or Terry .....
"You might say what you consider the
prospect for the coming year in the Black
Hills neighborhood. ~. .-... ..s-. u

that the whole of that northwestern coun-
try will be open for settlement long before
there are any people to settle in it.''
"Then you think the hostile Indians will
not hold out much longer?" lH
ssI know they will not. What is termed
the Indian war is nothing more than the
same struggle chat has been going on for
the past 200 years. 1t began in New Eng

George Washington as a Mason.

From the Washington Chronicle:

From the Washington Chronicle: u
A correspondent of the Chronicle makes
the strange statement that George Wash
ington was made Mason in 1777 at Nor
ristown, N. J., while the army was in camp
there in winter quarters. There is not one.
word of truth in the statement, as the Off
cial Masonic records show, and it is irs,-
proper that sneh statement should SO un-
contradicted. f q The records OF Fredericks-
burg Lodge, No. 4, of fredericksburg, y Na,,
now in good state of preservation, show
that George Washington was initiated No
vember4, 1862, passed the degree of Eel
low Craft March 8, 1863, and raised to the
sublime degree of Master Mason August !,
1853. He remained member of Fredericks-
burg Lodge, No. T. in good standing, until
February 8, 1888, when Alexandria Lodge,
No. %, was chartered, when he signif1ed
his desire to join it, being situated nearer
to his residence, and he was elected a. mem
Der of this Lodge, as the records show,
June "a, 1884. His signature upon the
books of both these Lodges, as well as the
official records, places this question entirely
beyond dispute, and it is very singular that
any Mason at the present day should un-
dertake to make statements to the contra
ry. This anonymous correspondent will
find that George Washington was not only
a Mason "a years before he was ever in
Morristown, N. j., (17771, but participated
in various Masonic celebrations of St.
Johns day and many other public occa-
sions. The charter of Alexandria Lodge,
No. 20, now hanging in the Lodge room in
the City of Alexandria, as well as the re-
cords Of the Grand Lodge Of Virginia, shows
that George, Washington was named as
Master Of said Lodge, and this was the act
of Edmund Randolph, then Governor of
Virginia and Grand Master Of the Grand
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of that
Commonwealth. Reference has been made
to letter Of doubtful authenticity, pur-
porting to have been written by Washing
ton to one G.. W. Snyder and copied into
9ssspark's Life Of Washington" The state
ment made In this letter being entirely de-
void or truth, that he had not been Id q Ma
sonic Lodge more than once or twice
within thirty years, !" and purporting to be
written In 1888, stamps it as a forgery.
Washington could not tell a lie, as the
Ratchet story shows, and this would have
been one, as. the records of Alexandria
Lodge show AS he presided ever that
Lodge ID it's Master it Is not possible that
i be made any such statement. His active
interest iii Masonry il shown BY tile records
Of this Lodge, and his public acts, like the
iayingof the eornen-stons of the United
States Capitol, September -. 1898, and II
many public Mason cele ebrations. He was.

neral ceremonies we're The most imposing

A Boys WAY OF STATING TH1NGs.-A
boys way of stating things, though often
inelegant,is generally nervous. Example !:
A lad at Easton, Penn, entered a drug
store, bottle in hand. and said he wanted
ten cents worth Of 's armakymony.' The
druggist told him to repeat the word, and
said --- 20
z "Do you mean arnica, or ammonia ?"
"I Dunno was the reply. S..-. r
eWhat is it for?'' ~5
"Can't tell,' said the boy starting slow
ly out. When near the door bright idea
illumined him, and he turned and asked the
druggist .=..-y-.---.-....--
"If your wife hit you on the head with
chair leg, which of them medicines would
you get to take the swellin' down?'
"s' Arnica, !" A'
stThen fill her in ten cents worth" re-
piled the boy and he gazed lovingly at a
big stick of licorice as the arnica was being
bottled. = Editor's Drawer, IN Harpe''s for
