ton lived, it is not so very sad to die,
dear; but now shall we go carefully
down the stairs-for they are weak
and opt into the sunshine and see the
little houses where the slaves livedP
Beth gave grasp. Did he own
slaves? You said he was good"
so be was; but nearly all South
ern gentlemen in those days were
shareholders. Mount Vernon origin
ally contained about eight thousand
acres, and Washington owned one
hundred and twenty four negroes.
But he didn't believe slavery was
right, and in his will he said they
should be freed after his wife's
death.
Tell about the little houses now"
said Chef.
ooh, yes! They were out in the
back yard,' as we would say, and
were the homes of the house servants.
There was the carpenters house, and
the 'shoemaker's,' and the black
Smiths and the 'weaver's. You would
like to look into that and see the lit
tie wheels and big wheels, and the
loom such as wove the cloth to clothe
all these slaves. There were two kit
chens out there. One was the family
kitchen where we saw the old, old
fireplace and big brick oven. The
other was used on state occasions, and
there was a covered hall leading from
it to the great house, Through this
the darkies, big and little used to
hurry with good things for the table.
just outside the family kitchen was
the old we'll, and a great magnolia
tree which Washington planted. He
also laid out the garden, and the
borders of box are now as high as my
shou' ders. But oh, there were so
many things. You would like to see
the ancient family carriage that stood
in it's own small room near the stables.
1t had three seats, SO close together

have been comfortable in the long

Hawthorne Was Satisfied.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind
hearted man as well as great novelist.
While he was consul at Liverpool a
young Yankee walked into his office.
The boy had left home to seek his for
tune, but evidently had not found it yet
although he had crossed the sea in
search. Homesick, friendless, nearly pen
niless, he wanted passage home. The
clerk said that Mr.. Hawthorne could not
be seen, and intimated that the boy was
not an American, but was trying to steal
passage.
The boy stuck to his point. and the
clerk at last went to the little room and
said to Mr.. Hawthorne:
Here's boy who insists upon seeing
you. He says he's an American, but I
know he isn't"
Hawthorne came out of the room. and
looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face
of the boy.

A Thrifty Prince.

The truly German quality OF thrift is
an amusing trait OF the Emperor Will
liam's little sons. Occasionally the EN-
press takes the three elder princes with
her on her shopping expeditions, when
the boys are allowed to spend their
pocket money just as they please. A
short time before Christmas they went
to inspect the delights of large shop
in Berlin. One of the princes picked
out the object of his choice, and at once
proceeded to the cashiers desk. Her
Majesty asked him whether this was all
he intended to buy, when he retorted in
businesslike tone: mo, but l prefer to

THEY had been but few months
i married, and she kept pressing him
eagerly to spend his evenings at home;
but she objected to his smoking in the
drawing room, and the advent Of winter
had driven him from the veranda, where,
in pleasant weather, he had enjoyed his
cigar. His greatest desire was to please
that loving young wife; but as he looked
out at the first light November ice, the
desire failed. He had to hunt fire, and
drawing chair to the CRATE, he lit bis
cigar. Shortly after. she entered the
room, and he was pleased to note in her
face an expression of pleasure, instead Of
disapproval. "What Kind of cigar is
that you are smoking, George" she
asked, smilingly. ~ did not learn the
name" he replied. 81 asked at Starts
Drug Store for good cigar, and this is
what got" "What delightful aroma"
she said, drawing near him and inhaling
the scent of the weed. Then was his
moment to push the conquest, and slip
ping his arm around her waist, he asked,
''Have, I then, permission to smoke
cigars here with yOu?" Once more she
inhaled the curling smoke, and then re-
piled, Certainly, George, provided you
always buy yoar cigars from Starts. No
one could object to so delicious scent in
the room. But. George, do not ever
again smoke those horrid weeds you
have been using before. ."Well," says
George, ''that horrid weed cost just as
much as this cigar" Thus it is with all
of the scents cigars sold by Starr. We
sell a Cigar ut two cents that equals the
ordinary 5-cents cigar.
