WASHINGTON AS AN OLD MAN.

"You will meet, sir, an old gentleman

brond- -brimmed white hat, hickory
switch in his hand, and carrying an UNI
brella with a long staff which is attached

Gen. Washington" This delightful por-
traiture Of Washington in his old age,
when the storms had passed and life ran
in quiet groves by the side of his beloved
Potomac, was drawn by young Custis,
odopted son Of the patriarch, and intend
cd to assist the recognition of Washing
ton by gentleman who had asked to be
directed to him.
The wish of Washington when old "to
move gently down the stream Of life until
l sleep with my fathers" was granted.
The last years of his life were spent in the
peace and quiet of beautiful Mount Yer
non, attending to the healthful duties of
the management of his large estate, and
entertaining with courtly hospitality the
many distinguished personages who came
TO do homage to his greatness.
And yet, his latter days at Mount Yer
non were busy days; for, every morning
rain or shine, he would mount his horse

Detroit used to have a lawyer who
was shrewd enough to show contempt
of court without incurring danger of
the penalty that would have been
visited upon an offender less diplo-
matte He was at one time being heard
in an important matter before the Su-
preme Court, and made an assertion
which ELECTED from one of the judges:
"That is not the law, SIR"

deferential bow, at was the law until
a minute ago. Now we accept a new
principle established by supreme au-
thority."
On another occasion he was reading
from an imposing looking book in sup
port of a position that he had taken
upon legal question.
Just a moment" interrupted the
supreme justice himself, "do you mean
to say that you are reading good law"
mot at all, your honor; only Supreme
Court decisions"
The most cutting thing he ever said
to this same court was during the con-
sideration Of desperate case in which
he had not leg to stand ON. He made
a bold contention which was fallaciops
but plausible from beginning to end.

would not try to convert the average
Justice Of the peace with such an ar
gument as that"
"Nor l." was the quick response, "but
l had what l considered reliable in
formation, that none of the honorable
members Of this honorable court had
ever served in that capacity"
"You have practiced before me for
years, Blank" said circuit judge at
one time, "and this is the first time
you have shown contempt"

WHERE HONOR is DUE.

II you please, you may laud George up to
the skies,
As the man who won battles and never told
lies.
You may tell Of his virtues in story and
song;
How he carefully sifted the right from the
wrong;
OF his wisdom In counsel, his bravery In
war;
How he drove the grim British away from
our shore.
You may cherish forever his hat and his
sword,
And up to the skies our brave Washington
laud.
Long, long may we hold him an example to
For honesty, temperance, courage and
truth.
While we gaze with delight on structure
SO grand,
Let us honor the builder who drew out the
plan,
And added, through years of Infinite care.
Small stone upon stone, firmly fixing them
there;
And though this may be but girls point of
view,
Let us give credit where 1t is certainly
due,
And pluck from his laurels one leaf for an
other,

MEDALS FOR HERoINes.
Two Women of the Spanish War to Be

Two Women of the Spanish War to Be
Rewarded by Congress-.
Two heroines of our late unpleasant
ness with Spain are to be rewarded for
their memorable work by Congress.
Miss Margaret Livingston Chanler and
Miss Anna Bouligny will be presented
with gold medals by special act Of Con-
gress in recognition Of their work for
Ill and wounded soldiers in Porto Rico,
If the recommendations of the war de-
partment are carried out.
The propriety of suitable recognition
by Congress Of the valuable work Of
these young women was first suggest
ed by letter from Col. Sharpe, of the
commissary department Of Porto Rico,
to Col. Black of the engineers corps.
Col. Black sent Col. Sharpe's letter to
the headquarters Of the army with an
Endorsement in which he recited the
services of Miss Chanler and Miss Bou-
ligny.
Col. Black said that the young women
landed from transport on July 81 and
at once began caring for the Ill In
Ponce, in connection with the Spanish
Red Cross. Entire charge of the nurs-
ing was soon in their hands. Miss
Chanler hired a house for use as hos
pital. 1t was too small and she hired a
larger one, to which she afterward add
ed another. Misses Chanler and Bou.
ligny remained until September Z, car

KNOCKED WASHINGTON DOWN.
Father of His Country Given a Black
Eye by Virginia Politician.

y
Eye by Virginia Politician.
Washington was an emincntly fair man.
He had quick temper, but as a rule he
kept it under control. Sometimes, how
ever, 1t got the best of him. This was
the case once in Alexandria, Va, when
Washington was knocked down by Lieut..
Payne. Payne was candidate for the
Legislature against Fairfax Of Alcxan-
dria. Washington supported Fairfax, and
when he met Payne he made remark
that Payne considered an insult, and
Payne Knocked him down. The story
went like lightning through the town that
Col. Washington was killed, and some of
his troops who were stationed at Alexan-
dria rushed in and would have made short
work of Payne had Washington not pre-
vented them. He pointed to his black eve
and told them that this was q personal
matter and that he knew how to handle
it. Every one thought that this meant a
duel. The next day Payne got note
from Washington asking him to come to
the hotel. He expected duel, but went
Washington, however, was. in au amiable
mood. He felt that he had been in the
wrong, and said: "Mr. Payne, / was
wrong yesterday, but If you have had suf-
ficient satisfaction, let us be friends"
There was a decanter of wine and two
glasses on the table which Washington
had ordered to smooth over the quarrel.
The two drank together and became such
strong friends after that that Payne was
one of the pall-bearers at Washington's s
funeral.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI.
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi.
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor

EXPECTS REVOLUTION IN CUBA.
Views of n Preacher just Returned
From the Island.

New York. March 21-The Rev. DR.. A.
B. Leonard, corresponding secretary of the
Missionary Society of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, addressed the Methodist
preachers meeting yesterday at No. $50
Fifth Avenue. upon Cuba and Porto
Rico" DR.. Leonard has just returned from
the islands He SID in part
The people down there are very poor
and very ignorant, and their standard Of
morals is very low. They have never
known any government which did not sys-
tematically rob them.
ut was a most unfortunate thing that
when Congress in effect declared war it
should have made that declaration about
not annexing Cuba. The Cubans are rot
capable of government, and il we turn
them loose there will be another reyolu-
ton down there inside of six months.
Yet we stand pledged to secure stable gov
ernment in Cuba.
Cuba will never have stable govern
ment until it is annexed to the United
States. and yet we are bound TO let them
have some kind of a trial at running
government themselves. How far We ought
to go l cannot say. A great many OF
the Cubans will turn bandits If the Ameri-
can troops are withdrawn.
..As TO Porto Rico. would advise giving
that island a territorial form of govern
ment at once II the legislature tries to
pass laws that we don't like the Presi-
dent can veto them. But the civil gov
ernment must have enough troops 10 main
tain order in all contingencies.
