When we picked up Bickford we found

When the rebel Surgeon came in on

In 1887 the old Confederation is ended
and a new Government IS formed. Wash
ington leaves Mount Vernon again, and
his signature is the first on the immortal
constitutional charter, conceived IN the
purity of republican freedom, planted on
the basis of equal rights and equal laws.
All honor to the men who formed this
masterpiece of virtue!
Two years later, a special envoy IN the
person Of Secretary Thomson, signer of
the Declaration of Independence, arrived
at Mount Vernon, to officially announce to
Washington that he had been chosen by
the electors President of the United States.
For eight long years silence reigncd in the
old home. In 1897, with blithesome step
and Joyous heart, the master of Mount
Vernon stepped over its portals. Time had
blanched his locks and furrOwed his brow.
He had given his youth and his manhood
to his country. lie returned to his home,

Men and women doctor their troubles so
often without benefit, that they get dis
couraged and skeptical. In most such
cases serious mistakes are made IN doctor
ing and in not knowing what our trouble is
or what makes us sick The unmistakable
evidences of kidney trouble are pain or dull
ache in the back, too frequent desire to
pass water, scanty supply, smarting lrrita-
ton. As kidney disease advances the face
looks sallow or pale, puffs or dark circles
under the eyes, the feet swell and some
times the heart acts badly. Should further
evidence be needed to find out the cause
of sickness, then set urine aside for twenty
four hours; if there is sediment or settling
it is also convincing proof that our kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. fact often
overlooked, is that women suffer as much
from kidney and bladder trouble as men do.

provincial soldier had reached Gen. Brad
docks ears, and he requested him to &C
company him on his (unfortunate) exredl-
ton to Fort Duquesne.
Here Washington reaped his first laurels.
At the close of this war, which lasted
seven years, the young provincial again
returned to Mount Vernon to await events.
1t is well known where and how he met
his wife. In 1853 he brought her, fair
bride, to Mount Vernon. The years glidcd
by and peace pervaded the fair domain.
Amid the fclicites of home life, the better
counsel of family and friends, the peaceful
pursuit of agriculture, the small cloud OF
colonial troubles appeared upon the horl-
ION, and Patrick Henry and Edmund Pen
dleton Stepred upon the scene.
Washington had been chosen to repre-
sent Virginia in the First Continental Con-
greSS, which assembled in Philadelphia
on the 9th of September, 17II, and these
gentlemen were to accompany HIM lie

fairy meads to enter the arena of public
life.
While serving in the First Congress, in
the year 1873, his name was brought for

by John Adams, and he was duly appoint
ed. He obeyed the call of his country, and
for six more long years of privation and
anxiety his days were spent on the tented
field
In 1881 the old halls of Mount Vernon re-
echoed for Il day the masters footballs.
He was accompanied by Count de Rocham-
beau and brilliant suite EN- route for
Yorktown.
A happier scene was spread upon the
canvas in 1888. The war was over; the
Nation was free, the people independent.
Washington had resigned his commission,
and the glOrificd and almost dcificd Cen
eral had become Lieutenant over the
peaceful forces of agriculture at Mount
Vernon.
For four years there congregated in this
hoSDitable home the great, the good, the
worthy of the land. Among these chosen
spirits was the gallant La Fayette, who
