/ ACTED AS SENTINEL
The Awful Su6er1ngs Of His Men a1
Valley Forgv Distressed Gen..
Washingtoa. "a

"Sentinels pacing in the snow on the out
posts of Valley Forge took off their caps and
stood in them to save their feet from freez-
ing" writes William Perrine in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "Here and there could be
found even officers in sort of dressing
gown made of old wooden bed covers. The
stout-hearted women Of New Jersey sent
their quilted clothes as Christmas presenta
with the patriotic jest that as women were
said sometimes to wear trousers, so now
there would be an excuse for men who might
wear the petticoats. Washington, who never
exaggerated, said that few men had more
than one shirt, many only half one and
some none at all. Nearly 5000 men were
barefooted and occasionally might be seen
soldier who was all but naked! Some
times there was nothing to eat in the camp
but rotten salted herrings. Men were known
to snatch at the dough of half-baked cakes
in the kitchens of the farmers wives.
"The contractors and the commissary
agents and the continental congress had
brought $4,000 men to the verge of starvs-
tion, and the blood of Gen. Wayne ran hot
with rage as he looked on his poor fellows,
weak with hunger. Indeed, there was but
one horn tumbler and also but one wooden
dish for every mess. Washington himself
dined one day on potatoes and hickory nuts.
My good man. he said to the sentinel in
front of his headquarters, pacing up and
down in the bitterness of cold morning,
have you had anything to eat?' No, sir,'
was the reply. Give me your musket, then,
and go inside and get some breakfast and
the tall commander gravely walked.up and
down as guard over his own house."

wAsHINGTON's LAST MOMENTS.

one-half of his life was devoted to the public
service, to which he was as faithful and de-
voted as he was to his private interests. A
man of admirable poise, careful in all things,
strong in his loves and true in his friend
ships, it is question which men more ad-
mire in him, his superb generalship and
leadership, or the magnificent moral force
which shone in his every act. Certain it is
that among all the peoples of the world his
name is synonym for all the virtues Of
highest manhood, as we'll as for sublime cour-
age and incarnate leadership. W =
Yet all of these noble and most admirable
qualities were in embryo in his youth. An
impossible boy never makes an admirable
man. Youth is but time of taking on of
stature, of bone and muscle-making, Of the
getting of gray matter in the brain, a sort
3of start-taking for the real life course.
Washington was undoubtedly an exemplary
boy; except he had been such he could not
have developed into the superb personality
Of his matured manhood. But he was Just
the kind Of lad that one sees nowadays, with
a bright, clean eye, shapely form, elastic
STEP. attractive face and hearty, ringing
laugh, the hope and promise 81 The future
man Of good parts. There was no abnormal
tssy Of mind or morals in his youth, Just as
there was none in his admirably rounded
manhood 4. 81 B
Willmar tribune., 1899-02-22

less he made forays upon neighborinx apple
orchards, tied cans to the tails of dogs, wor.
cied cats, liked jam and teased his mamma
for pocket money. Of one thing all may be
sure; he was no sissy" boy-the goody-good
kind that are told of in wishy-washy books.
Lads of the latter kind never grow up to
become commanders Of great armies and
rulers of great nations. A man of Washing
toms sublime character could not have been
other than boy of strong vitality, full of
the sparkle and effervescence of youth,
which must have found overflow in harmless
mischief and muscle-trying sport. He may
never have told a lie in his youth; yet in
some of the many boyish escapades which
reached the ears of his father he must have
strained veracity just little bit now and
then.
One doesn't like the kind Of boys that
Weems describes in his life of Washington
sickly, sentimental, full of moralizing and
afraid to have hearty laugh. It is high
time that the Washington of Weems be ef-
faced, and the true Washington, the manly
boy Washington, be held up to the admira.
tion of American youth.
Scarcely more than boy was he when he
joined Braddock; yet had Braddock needed
the counsel of the Virginia. STRIPPING he
would have escaped defeat and the loss of
his own life. 1t was at the beginning of
this journey that the sublime character of
Washington was revealed in an incident
that, for some reason, is rarely told. In his
day drinking was universal, and Washington
did not escape the contagion. While wait
ing at Alexandria he overindulged in rum
and while under it's influence gave the lie to
brother officer, who promptly knocked
him down. Friends interfered and Wash
ington was taken to his hotel. Everyone ex-
pected duel would result, as this was the
universally accepted method of settling diff
culties between gentlemen, and all knew
Washington to be man of indomitable
courage. But when he came to his senses,
instead of wishing to fight the officer who
had struck him, this great soul, knowing
himself to be in the wrong, actually sent
him an apology. In after years, when Wash
ington was illustrious, this officer called at
Mount Vernon and was received most kind
ly by the Father of His Country
Such was the youth of the most distin.
guished Of Americans His manhood was
marked by the most striking qualities Of
virtue, which must have had their develop
ing period in the age of youth. He hated
a lie; he dispised selfshness; he eschewed
what was evil and clave unto what was
good. Possessed of a proud spirit and quick
of temper, he subdued pride and repressed
wrath. He had faith in himself; yet he also
had supreme faith in humanity. More than

making of him divinity sinless as the
Saviour Of the world. He meditated and
meditated upon the virtues of his hero until
he really believed him to have been posi-
lively immaculate.
The parson, as he later confessed, was
greatly chagrined to discover that Washing
ton when boy was just like other boys.
He shared rabbits, went fishing, played
hockey, muddied his clothes, "scrapped"
with his playmates, had superb appetite
and slept well. In short, although Weems
knew and conversed with a number of
Washington's youthful companions, he was
unable to learn Of single incident in his
early life that was worthy of special men
ton. George was fairly goodish boy, the
kind that is liked by teacher and pupil alike,
quick of temper, prompt to resent an af-
front and with an inclination for the sea
and for fighting.
Weems wanted color for Washington's
youth, and he found it in his own perfervid
imagination, in the same manner that Mac
aulay manufactured tales in derogation of
William Penn, and Froude framed lies about
Mary, Queen of Scots; with the difference
that Weems meant his lies to be harmless
and at the same time helpful to the fame of
his hero and beneficial to the youth of each
succeeding generation of the great republic.
The seed-sowing incident told many mil
lions of times over to gaping youngsters is
tigment of the parsons fancy. Washing
ton pere was decidedly orthodox, believing
every word of the Bible-higher criticism
had not then come in.-and he enforced
moral lessons in the same manner as Solo
mon, with the rod and promises of more Of
it in the future. There was nothing poetic
in the old gentleman's nature; he sowed seed
that he might have Z harvest of grain, and
not that he might bestow an object lesson
upon his fast-growing boy. +
The hatchet business was the uttering Of
q lie that the extreme truthfulness of the
lad might be made manifest. The only
strange thing about it is that old Parson
b .Weems who dearly loved lie, should have
:. been attracted towards this element of
truthfulness in his hero.
