officer who saved Braddock's army
from humiliation on the banks of the
bloody Monongahela; the young Vir-
ginia planter and ardent patriot, MEM
Der OF the colonial house of burgeeses
and of the Continental congress; the
commander in chief of the American
army and the victorious leader OF the
revolution; the wise and sagacious
statesman and first president of the
new republic-the hberstor, hero and
father of his country.
1t is a happy circumstance, as it
seems to me, that this typical and
greatest American hero should come
from the best. unmixed, unpolnted
English and American stock. While
many of the leading generals Of the
revolution were foreigners, like Lafay-
cite, De halb. Steuben and KOSiusco,
and Others unaccli-nated Englishmen.
like Gates and Charles Lee, Washington
could trace his lineage back through
many centuries TO the best Saxon and
Norman blood and through three gen.
erations of like inheritance on this side
of the Atlantic. No American has ever
had a better representative stock and
ancestry; coming from that solid mid
die class of landed gentry and proprie-
tors-the classes that produced Hamp-
den and Cromwell, and which has been
the bulwark Of English liberty for a
thousand years With such an ances-
try behind him. and such interests cen
tered IN the sod OF his native land, he
was man fitted to step forward in de-

in history. It IS not claimed that

In the suburban restaurants Of Paris
more than century ago the guests
used to be amused by pretty maidens
from Savoy, dressed in their national
costume, who were allowed 10 sell
light refreshments, such as pastry, sau-

among themselves By the broad ribbons
which they wore al the shoulders; the
Belle Marianne supported Gordon rouge,

her Gordon bleu. She married . restau-

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
A Patriotic Tribute to the Nations
Greatest Hero.
His Name stands Unexcelied and Majestic
Among the Great Men Of tina Earth
A Rare pleading Of Moral and
Intellectual Qualities.
Especial Letter.1


The fame Of George Washington, the
hero of the American revolution and
the founder of the American republic,
viii never grow old or lose the fresh
ness of its immortal youth On the con-
trary, wide and great as it DOW is, it is
likely TO grow wider and greater still
as the fermenting and heaving political
forces of our modern times enter upon
the death struggle with the ancient sys-
TENS of kingcraft and tyranny which
yet bear rule In so large part of the
civilized world. As nation after nation
follows our example-as France has al
ready SO conspicuously done-and cuts
loose from monarchy and hereditary
nobility, the splendid name of the great
hero and leader whose sword won the
independence of his country, and whose
wisdom founded and cemented, more
than a hundred years ago, the first great
republic since the disastrous fall Of
Greece and Rome, viii shine with
constantly increasing luster.
When a great man is sent into the
world to accomplish a great work he
does not usually come with crown and
scepter. or any of the outward sym bols
of power. Only a very few really great
men of action IN MI the worlds history
have been born to hereditary thrones.
Alexander and Frederick and perhaps
Gustavus Adolphus and two or three
others of lesser note, would exhaust the
list. The Caesar, the Croznwells, the
NapoleonS the Washingtons were not
born to the purple. No thunders Of ac-
ciamation or Of cannon proclaimed the
moment of their birth; no sounding
titles were showered upon their baby
heads; no happy, anxious peoples hung
over their royal cradles. But better
far than all these honors and trapptngs
which have been 50 often wasted upon
the worthless scions of monarchy, each
one of these came into the world with
scepter of power, a wand of authority
in his little right hand whic the great
God had given him, and which, though
invisible then. was to rule over men
and nations with more than kingly
sway.
There Is no need to recount in detail
the story of Washington's life. The
American people and the lovers Of lib
erty throughout the earth already
know it by heart. The broad outline,
from his birth in Westmoreland, Va,
on the 22d Of February, 1872, to his
death at historic Mount Vernon on the
18th Of December, 1899. shows the sue
cessive stages Of its development; from
the truthful and manly boy 20 the
youthful surveyor and gallant militia

against the logged and disciplined
Yalor Of British regulars-the soldiers
that could return TO the charge for tbs
third time through that uurderous fire
from the blazing breastworks of
Bunker Hill? How was he to meet the
successive armies Of Howe, OF Clinton,
of Burgoyne, of CORVALLIS, which that
proud and ample navy landed upon our
devoted shores? 1t was a hereulean
task, and not another man but " ash
ington, in all America, could have per
formed it. Greene could have come
nearest to it, but even his rare good
Judgment, caution and skill would have
fallen short somewhere in the long
trial. It Is ne wonder that the great
leader himself should have been re-
peatedly defeated; that his little army,
though full of courage and patriotism,
should have quailed and retreated so
many times before such foe. With all
our patriotic Fourth Of July boasts and
exultation over the defeat of the Brit

if Burgoyne had not been compelled to

Here and there IN the conflict, as at

and dash, Washington showed himself

such deeds as these, or in battle any
