washington's Family Bible.
Washington Cd. CO. Republican |


Justice Hsgner yesterday afternoon car
ried up to the Senate the old family Bible
that belonged to Augustine Washington,
father of Gen. George Washington, which
was sent to him and placed in his custody
for cafe keeping and exhibit SO Congress.
1t contains the family record of births and
deaths, also the time of baptism of the chill
dren. 1t passed into the hands of Mary
Washington the mother OF George, who
wore the goods on which the cover was
made. She gave it to her daughter, Bette
Lewis of Fredericksburg, and she passed it
over to her son, Robert Lewis, and he pre-
sented it to Bette b. Basset, who now owns
it, and has had the Bible In her possession
for the past forty-six years. 1t is an old
looking work full of pictures, and what is
more curious still, st. Simon Is represented
as wearing eye glasses, which were not sup
posed to be in use in those days.

Longfellow and the Children.

Lucy Laroom in St. Nicholas for June.l
Longfellow loved all children, and had q
word for them whenever he met them.
at concert, going early with her father,
little girl espied Mr.. Longfellow sitting
klone, and begged that she might 60 and
speak to him. Her father, himself strsn-
ger, took the liberty of introducing his lit
lie daughter Edith to the poet.
"Edith2" said Mr.. Longfellow, tenderly.
Edith is twenty years CID" And he seated
the child beside him, taking her hand in
his, and making her promise to come and
lee him at his house in Cambridge.
"What is the name of your sled, my boy2"
be said to q small lad, who came Juggling
bne up the road toward him, on winter
morning.
sTts 'Evangeline.' Mr. Longfellow wrote
Evangeline.' Did you ever see Mr.. Long
ellow7" answered the little fellow as he
an by. doubtless wondering at the smile on
he face of the pleasant gray-haired gentle
man.
Professor Monti, who witnessed the pretty
cene, tells the story of a little girl who last
christmas inquired the way to the poets
house, and asked if she could just step inside
ne yard; and ne relates how Mr.. Longfel-
ow, being told she was there, went to the
loor and called her in, and showed her the
old clock on the stairs" and many other
Interesting things about the house, leaving
bis little guest with beautiful memories Of
hat Christmas day to carry all through her
lfs. This was characteristic of the poets
hospitality, delicate and courteous and
houghtfui to all who crossed his TIRES
hold.
It is often said. and with reason, that we
Americans do not think enough of manners
that politeness of behavior which comes

Foung people might look to Mr.. Longfellow

where he might do kindness, or say

A visitor one day told him in converse

wanted to see.

Grandfather's come to see baby TO day,
I. Dear little, queer little baby Ned:
With his tOothless mouth, his double chin,
And never hair on his shiny head,
He looks in the pretty eyes OF blue,
Where the baby's soul is peeDing through,
And cries with many loving kiss,
"Hallol what little old man Is this?"
Baby stares in grandfather's face,
Merry old. CHEEKY old Grandfather Ned"
With his toothless mouth, his double chin,
And never a hair on his dear, old head;
He scans him solemly, up and down.
From his double chin to his smooth bald crown,
And says TO himself, as babies do.
"HallOl can this be baby, to0?"

- Dog who Liked Cats.
1Harper's Young People.1

PoOdles are, in some respects, the most In
reason why the performing dogs who are
taught to do all sorts of curious tricks are
almost always poodles. There was a lady
who owned large poodle which was very
fond of walking with her. Every day st
about ten o'clock he would find the articles
| of dress that he thought she ought to wear
Fout-of-doors, and would bring them to her,
and bark loudly until she would put them
ION. He always insisted that she should
wear rubber overshoes, no matter what the
weather might be, but he never brought her
an umbrella except when it rained. 1t was
very nice in him to wait on his mistress;
put sometimes, when he would drag her
best bonnet by one string down stairs and
the whole house until he found her,
she would not remember to thank him as
heartily as he imagined that he deserved.
Unlike most dogs, this dog liked cats. He
had intelligence enough to perceive that
cats had their uses, and that it was much
better to use them than to waste them reck-
lessly by killing them. In the family where
The lived there were at one time two large
|csts. Nov the poodle was not allowed to
wear any wool except on his head, fore
quarters, tail, and legs, and the
consequence was that in winter he suffered
from the cold. He therefore made friends
with thescsts by giving them scraps of his
dinner, and so induced them to come and
lie down by him when he wanted nap.
With one'cat on each side of him he was
quite warm and comfortable, and when the
|cats showed signs of wakefulness he would
|put them to SLEEP by licking their fur with
ibis rough tongue.
The two cats finally died or ran away,
Ind a small kitten took their place. The
log did not think it worth while to waste
bones on the kitten. as she was a weak.
foolish little beast, who fancied that she
mus. do whatever the poodle wanted.
When he felt sleepy, he would go to the
kitchen and find his kitten. Picking her up
En his mouth, he woSld walk slowly through
the house until he found nice sunny spot
ION q soft carpet, when he would lie down,
|placingthe kitten close to him. If any one
called him while he was walking about
with the kitten in his mouth. he would
Throw her away with toss Of his head.
never caring where she might land. This
Tough treatment, together with the fact that
he would sometimes pick the kitten up by
the tail or the head, and carry her for sew
|eral mlnutes IN most Trying position,
proved too much for the meek little ami.
malls constitution, and one day, to his great
disappointment, the dog found her dead,
hnd so cold that she was no longer of tie
Slightest use to him.
It is great pity that other dogs have not
discovered that cats can be put to good use
Fl dogs only take little pains to win their
friendship and develop their useful quail
! ties. But dogs are too often reckless and
fhoughtless, and prefer to waste valuable
bats in order TO enjoy for few moments the
pleasures Of the chase.

RoarS my first;
Through the Wild his voice, resounding,
Hath dispersed
All the tribes that prowl and prey
In the night;
From his path they flee away
With alright
Ger the path my second gliding,
Bites the heels;
In the treacherous wine cup hiding,
Stings and kills.

Under ground;
And its mimic mountains, swelling,
Rise around:

They so expressed themselves to their host

A sign over saloon was about the first
thing that greeted me on my arrival at Fargo,
the door of tho much heralded cred River
of the North" This sign read ''No.
1, Hard" Naturally such sign in
such a connection excited my curiosity, and
on inquiring of slaughterer of the English
language, who chancsd to be near me, the
meaning, 1 found that it referred to the
grade of wheat generally raised throughout
the valley. 1t is only from this wheat that
the patent process Minneapolis flour can be
made and it consequently ranks as the first
grade par excellence.
The most noticeable feature of this section
ia the almost perfectly black soil which sur
rounds you on every side. The streets reek
endooze with it. 1t clings to your clothes; it
covers your boots it hides the floors so com
pletely you cannot tell carpet from wood and
in general pervades everything, from dough

delight of every loyal denizen, and he dilates
on It's advantages from morning to night.
Nor is this devotion misplaced, for it is be-
yond question the best wheat land in the
