Largely Influenced by His Environments:
His Tendencies Toward Higher Ideals.
In the eighteenth century games OF
chance and betting were universal prac-
ices in Virginia, and from WashinEton's
earliest accounts il is known that from
the age OF Is he indulged moderately

the first article on The Personal Side
Of Washington" in March Ladies' Home
Journal That most insidiOus form OF
gambling, the lottery, was an especial
favorite, being resorted 10 for the pur-
pose Of raising funds for charity, church
use or public Improvements. Active aud
jealous as Washington was in promot-
ing plans for the public benefit or in ex-
tending helping hand to Others, It is
not surprising to find that the tickets OF
the Mountain Road lottery in 1863 were
signed by him, and that he spent fifty
pounds therein. He evidently did
not associate lottery tickets with gam
bling any more than the modern stock
broker associates his puts and calls

Washington's passionate character had
refrained entirely from the use OF force
full and emphatic language. AS has been
elsewhere said, his language was always
clean, and, it may be added. never was
in any way vulgar beyond an occasional
expletive.
These phases OF Washington's life bear
ing en- the problems OF drink. gaming
etc, emphasize most strongly the inevi-
table trend that local customs and opin-
ions give TO the thoughts and habits Of
rising generation. Accepting unhesi-
tatingly the amusements. habits and
views Of those whom he loved best as a
child. he discloses the innate strength Of
his individuality in that he fell into no
sloughs Of despond. but that in years OF
discretion all his tendencies were away
from his age and toward higher ideals
Of thought and action.
