still his great soul was not daunte,

still his great soul was not daunted.
The newspapers charged him with in
action, and demanded winter cam
paign. The perversity of congress led
it to hold to short enlistments, despite
Washington's oft-repeated remon-
strances, and he was compelled to wit
ness the steady diminution of numbers
of his soldiers, while Refreshments
were next to impossible.
In time the slow congress did pro
vide adequate food and moderate sup
ply of raiment, but the sufferings of
the soldiers continued, as result OF
the great cold and their previous priva-
ton. Mutterings of discomfort grew
deep and loud in the army-not directed
against him, but against the congress
that had shown itself incompetent. In
their Indignation the officers, in petit
ton, urged Washington to assume com
plete control-as dictator, protector,
king, any role ne might assume, in
the confidence that he would be unan-
imously sustained by his army.
Here was supreme power that was
sought to be forced upon him, power
that an ambitious man devoted to self
might have desired above all things else
in the world. But Washington was
moved almost to tears of distress. The
war had been begun and waged for the
priceless boon of liberty; yet now his
loved officers and brave soldiers were
ready to sacrifice liberty for his ag-

HER PHOTOGRAPH.

Watch for the bird!" the artist cries,
With lifted, waiting finger;
But, needless of the mirthful call,
Upon the cameras mystic pail
Her serious glances linger
TOO graveP Her mother takes the word;
Think, darling, for one minute,
What can it be papa will say,
Opening his letter far away,
To find your picture in it?'
A look of love and rapture blent
The baby-features put on,
From parted lips to rounded cheek
Swift dimples played at hide-and-seek-
The artist touched the button,
All! sunbeam, knewest thou how she
Would leave the world so lonely,
Thus holding fast, in deathless grace,
The smile that on her rosebud face
Bloomed for her father only?

Complaint, discomfort, disloyalty
and treason were on every hand. 1t was
known that the king would presently
offer extraordinary terms to those in
arms-an offer the provisions of which,
when finally made known, would have
been sufficient two years before to in
duce the colonists to accept them,
and in that case they might be de-
pendency of Great Britain to this day.
This discomfort Washington knew to
be general; daily and hourly prominent
and wealthy citizens were deserving
the cause of liberty and swearing fealty
to the king.
Calm and reposeful he stood in the
midst of these trials, sharing hardships
with his men, entertaining and inspir-

the campaign of the next year. When
the offer of the king came he protested
to congress most eloquently against it's
acceptance, declaring that nothing
short of absolute independence should
be considered for a moment.
Hope there seemed none, fruition was
an empty dream, so it appeared to 9TH
ers, but Washington had the invincible
courage that comes of a consecrated
patriotism. Never in his career did he
so shine in the glory of his exalted char
acter. All things were apparently
against him; there seemed to be no
place where he could turn for succor;
the enemy was confident and iubilant;
yet never before or after was he so res
oiutely set as now to fight to the last
ditch and as long as man remained
alive.
Washington was a man so admirably
poised that he met every trying situa.
ton with such calmness and dignity
as to deceive men into thinking he real
ly passed through no emergencies.
But the war was succession
of emergencies. His active ma
ture preferred aggressive nigh

The police of Kobe, Japan, are per-

to develop the police training school
as the first step in anticipation of the

in the English, French, German, Rus
