A TARDY MEMORIAL.
A MONUMENT TO MARY WASHINGTON
TO BE DEDICATED AT LAST.

To the Noble and Patriotic Women of
America We Owe the Completion of the
Work Begun During JaekAnn's Admins
tratIon-The Approaching Dedication.
The generous women of America have
reason to congratulate themselves on
having settled at last Il national indebt-
edness of as great Importance in its way
as any of which the payment is secured
by our government bonds, and one with
al of much longer standing than those
guaranteed by interest bearing securities.
The obligation had long been recog-
nized, but settlement had been deferred,
possibly because it is generally easier to
admit sentimental liability than it is
tomeet il. and this Indebtedness, it should
be said, was one of pure sentiment. In
brief it was the obligation our nation was
under to prove by some enduring me
mortal its appreciation of and reverence
for the character and virtues of one of
our most exalted country women-Mary
the mother of Washington.
As long ago as GO years back the peo-
pie realized their duty in this matter, and
in response to the sentiment of the time
congress made an appropriation for =
monument to mark the last resting place
of this noble woman. Andrew jackson,
then president of the United States, in
1898 laid the cornerstone of what was de
signed to be a beautiful and lasting ties

SPORT.
appointed that he had no sign of fishing
tackle, as the trout were evidently hungry,
and il he only had a hook and line he could
easily catch all he wanted
While trying to evolve plan for the cap
ture OF some Of the trout the gentleman
noticed an immense blacksnake lying on a
stump summing itself, and Immediately he
recalled that his father had told him, a
good many years ago. how expert black
snakes Were in catching trout After lit
tie thought on the subject the gentleman
determined TO try it, and picking his way
cautiously to the stump he grabbed the
snake by the tail.
The blacksnake evidently didn't under
stand at first just what was wanted Of him,
and for some time after he had been sOused
into the water he continued to twist and
squirm and tried to get away. But finally
the snake spied big trout peepinE out
from behind a stone, and like a flash the
reptile darted out and seized the fish in its
mouth. The instant the snake grabbed the
fish the gentleman. who held the snake by
the tail, pulled and landed his front, the
snake letting 20 as soon a. 1t was hauled
out on the bank.
The next time he struck the snake into
the water it seemed To understand better
what was wanted and very soon grabbed
another trout. By the time half dozen
trout had been taken the snake had entered
into the sport in real earnest, and in the
course Of an hour the gentleman had cap
tured with his queer tackle over 20 fine
trout, and not caring for mon. he let the
snake go. gathered up his fish and went
home
II was about week later that the gentle
man passed 10y the spot where he had cap
tured the trout. and while he was standing
on the hank locking at the sPeckled beau
ties As they darted through the clear NateI
he felt something rubbing his leg Look
ing down. he was surprised TO SEE his old
friend, the black snake The snake had
seen and recognized him, and backing up Il
him had stuck about foot of its tail VI

ton to 20 fishing again
