AS n horseman, from beginning to end
of his vigorous life, Washington had no
peer. Like all Virginia boys he took to
tho saddle as duck takes to water.
Once astride his steed. 1t was all but
impossible to dislodge him. From the
day when as n lad he first rode to hounds
after old Lord Fairfax, of Grcenway
Court. across the county named for that
worthy nobleman, he was skilled and
dashing fox hunter. In tho army, when
on horseback, riding down the line,
clieered to tho echo by the soldiers, who
believed. with n superstition worthy Of
the ancients. that here was being born
to lead them, ho was physically tho most
imposing figure present In person,
Washington showed IN maturity the
fruits of tho lifetime ho had given to
what athletes nowadays call "training."
His habits at all times were those exact
ed Of Grew" or "team" Of modern
days before the occasions when those
heroes appear in public to fill with do
spair or cxultation the bosoms Of their
friends. From the Indians of the Shenan-
doah wilderness, among whom lc spent
weeks during his first surveying tour, he
learned the swift, elastic tread that dis
tinguishcd him in walking His powers
OF endurance were worthy OF his OK
traordiuary physical strength, though 1t
must be said he had few Illnesses to test
his constitution. and, indeed. was rarely
ailing. Nicholas for March.

Industrial insurance brings an indem-
nifty against loss by death to those who
most need it. Among the working
classes mans labor Is his only source
of income and gives his life its only value
In an insurable sense to his dependents.
Tho necessity OF providing against loss
by death is greater among the poor than
with those who have wealth, much or
little, to leave to their families.-
Tho fact has been recognized In Ger
many, where insurance has been made
compulsory. Small sums. rcckoned ac-
cording 70 tho weekly wage, arc taken
from tho pay OF tho worker by tho en-
ploycr and paid to the government.
These sums provide for n sick benefit and
an insurance against old nge and in
flrmity. In case Of illness thirteen weeks
of FREQ medical attendance and a money
allowance equal to one-hnlf the wages
arc allowed. At death an amount equal
to twenty times the local daily wages of
an ordinary day laborcr Is paid to the
survivors. In old age and infirmity u
yearly stipend Is paid. Tho employers
contribute equally to an accident fund,
which provides for total or part disability
or death. Tho state. the employers and
tho employed contribute equally to tho
old ago and inilrm pension fund. Tho
sick fund is maintained by tho employees.

Among other absurdities We have well

who marries finds that his liberty Inns

Of restrictions for another. She thinks
herself neglected II the husband does not
always return 10 her in the evenings. and

does not stay at homo alono trying 70

Tho oluckless man finds his wife so very

that she Is, pcrchance, more exemplary

injured and resigned, but sho must not

blandly, twas that l noticed the cake
basket on tho table" And he looked at

tho table, for several of tho guests ro-
mcmbered having purchased those same
