ON THE 22D OF FEBRUARY,
ONE HUNDRED AND FlFTY-FOUR
YEARS AGO,

George Washington Was Born-A Few
of the Many Representations of tho
Hero whose Birthday We Honor.
How Composite Photographs are Made,
No other American has been so often a
subject for the painters brush as George
Washington. Artists and sculptors native
aud foreign, have expended their skill upon
him with results which refuse to agree.
Each picture and bust represents different
man in looks and character No two re-
semble each other But for the fact
that they are labeled Washington it
would be impossible to guess who the
original had been.
Over three hundred portraits, husts and
statues of the great Pater Patre by paint
eIs and sculptors who were distinguished in
their day are in existence. They depict their
immortal subject in as many different
guises. Sometimes they make him noble
Roman, with nose that equals the bravest
of them in contour and mouth as grim as
a stone wall; again they make him sinister
old barrster, a willy diplomat, bespangled-
brigand. or a sInirking courtier. The follow
ing picture is from Gilbert Stuart paint ng
painted in 1896.

For thy fame shall grow in luster as is added age

For for Freedom thou unshcathed IT, and its strokes

We shall see thy face of grandeur looking down

Lapse with requiems o Potomac! on Mt. vernons

RUSSIAN USURERS.
How They Cypress the Poor, Strugglin
and Dependent Peasantry.

How They Cypress the Poor, Struggling
and Despondent Peasantry.
Russia is fast verging toward land
lordism in its most pronounced form,
and the people are being divorced
wholesale from the soil which their
fathers titled and by which alone them
selves can live. In another generation.
at the present rate of progress Cor
degredation), there will be on one side
an agricultural proletariat of sixty or
seventy millions, on the other q class
of koulahs and "mir-eaters," holding
all the land and virtually owning those
by whom it is cultivated. The present
system is based on the bondage of the
peasants. Koulaks (usurers) and land
lords lend their money, taking as Sc
curitv the hypothecation of the borrow
ers future labor, and once in debt the
Russian peasant is never free. He be-
comes the bond-slave of his creditor,
who exacts his pound of flesh with Shy
lock ferocity.
But the debtor, when his creditor is
landlord, has a simple yet effective way
of avenging himself. He works as little
and Intellectually as he knows how. The
free laborer does twice as much and
does it great deal better, and for this
evil there is no remedy except one that
is worse than the disease it is meant to
cure-a well-paid overseer for every
bondageman. For the peasant who is
working off debt does not fear dis
missal-wants it in fact, and the gov
eminent allows no one to use the rod
but itself. The koulak, or local usurer,
is in better position than the big land
lord. A peasant himself, he works in
the fields with his bondsmen, and can
see that they work. Being, more
over, a man of Importance in
the village, he is naturally more
feared and better served than the alb
sentee owner. 1t is obvious that under
these conditions agricultural progress
and scientific farming are quite out of
the question. Bondage labor is cheaper
than any other, cheaper even than
machinery. Besides, who would in
vest money in labor-saving machines
when he can lend it out at two OR three
hundred per cent per annum. So it
comes to pass that land owners and
usurers grow rich, cereals are exported
and the peasants die. Hardly year
passes that parts of Russia are not de-
vastated by local famines. Instances
of anthropopo hagy often occur, the
wretched peasants being reduced to
such straits that in their desperation
they eat human fiesh-literally prey on
each other.-Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.
