OUR COMMON FATHER.
How He Looked at Close Quarters In
Common Life.

How He Looked at Close Quarters In
Common Life
Description Written By Ddrtd AkersoH in ISL
Washington had large, thick nose, and
it was very red that day, giving me the
impression that he was not so moderate in
the use of liquors as be was supposed TO
be. found afterwerd that this was pc
culiarity. His nose was apt to turn scar
let in a cold wind. He was standing near
small camp fire, evidently lost in
thought, and making no effort to keep
warm. He seemed six feet and half in
height, was as erect as an Indian, and did
not for a moment relax from a military
attitude.
WashiDgton's exact height was six feet
two inches in his boots. He was then q
little lame from striking his kres against
tree. His eyes was gray that it looked
almost white, and Re had a troubled look
on his colorless face. He had piece of
woOlen tied around his throat, and was
quite hoarse. Perhaps the throat trouble
from which he finally died had its origin
about then.
Washington's boots were enormous.
They were No. Is. His ordinary walking
shoes were No. IL His hands were large
in proportion, and he could not buy
glove to fit him, and had to have his
gloves made to order. His mouth was his
strong feature, the lips being tightly COM
pressed. That day they were so tightly
compressed as to be painful to look at
AT that time he weighed $50 pounds,
and there was no surplus flesh about him.
He was tremendously muscled, and the
fame of his great strength was everywhere.
His large tent, when wrapped up with the
poles, was so heavy that il required two
men to place it in the camp wagon.
Washington would lift it with one hand
and throw it in the wagon as easily as if it
we're pair of ssddle-bsgs lie could hold
musket with one hand and shoot with
precision as easily as other men did with a
horse pistol. HIS lungs we've his weak
point, and his voice was never strong.
He was at that time in the prime of life.
His hair was chestnut brown, his cheeks
we're prominent, and his head was net
large in contrast to every other part of HE
body, which seemed large and b2ny at all
points. His finger joints and wrists were
so large as 70 be genuine curiosities. As
to habits at that period, I.found out much
that might be interesting. He WAS an en-
ormOus eater, but was content with bread
and meat if he had plenty of it. But
hunger seemed to put him in rage. II
was his custom to take drink OF rum or
whisky on awakening in the morning
OF course all this was changed whed he
grew old. saw him at Alexandria year
before he died His hair was very gray,
and his form was slightly bent His chest
was very thin. He had false teeth, which
did not fit, and pushed the under lips out

SANFORD'S
RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH.
Relief instantaneous. Cure Rapid, Radi-
cal, and Permanent.

No single disease has entailed more suffering
or fastened the breaking up OF the constitution
than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of
sight, of hearing the human voice, one or more,
and sometimes all, yield 10 its destructive infu-
ence. The poison II distributes throughout the
system attacks every vital force, and Injuries the
most robust Of constitutions Ignored, because
but little understood, by most physicians i'm
potently assailed by quacks and chsrlatans,
those suffering from II have little hope TO be re-
leved. II is time, then, that the popular treat
ment of this terrible disease by remedies within
the reach of all passed into bands at once
competent and trustworthy. The new and
hitherto untried method adopted by DR.. Sanford
in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE has won
the hearty approval of thousands. II is instan-
taneous in ahording relief in oil head colds,
sneezIng, snufling, and INSTRUCTED breathing,
and rapidly removes the most oppressive sYmp-
toms, clearing the head, sweetening the breath,
restoring the senses Of smell and taste and neu.
tralizing the constitutional tendency Of the dis
ease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.
SanfOrd's Radical Cure for Catarrh
consists of one bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one
box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT, and IMPROVED ~

The FIRST President was an Active Worker

The volunteer firemen of the country, as

member of the volunteer department Of
Alexandria, Va, as early as 1850. when he
was only eighteen years of age.
He resided at that time with his brother
Lawrence at Mt. Vernon, several miles
from the town, and often rode from his
res dence to be present with his company
at FIRE.

When he retired to Monnt Vernon after
his second tenn as President he again de-
voted himself 10 the interests OF Alexan-
dria, and it is related that few months
before his death he was riding through that
village when the fire bells rang. He rode
TO the fire and was surprised to ind that
the machine was poorly manned and very
feeblv worked, though a crowd OF we'll
dressed idlers stood about Riding up to
them he said: Gentlemen, am sur

that he got OFF his horse and himself
mounted the machine, 1t never lacked
workers after that.
