Tho Richest Man of u,s Time.

AS the years went on Washington's
lands increased in value. and when he
died. he was one of the richest men Of
his time. He owned lands and stock
and negroes. and his estates amounted
to thousands OF acres He had houses
in Alexandra and property in Wash
ington. He had valuable lands near
the present site o. Pittsburg. He was
throughout his lie II money-maker.
and | WIS told at Alexandria that
when he was Doy he go, IS day and
upward for his surveying. He put his
surplus money into lands. and an ad-
vertisement N Baltimore paper OF
1913 states that he had 10000 acres OF
land for sale or The Ohio river. His

Knocked Washington Down.

Washington was an eminently fair
man. He had quick temper, but as
a rule he kept 1t under control. Some
times. however. 1t get the best OF him.
This was the case once in Alexandria.
One OF the county officers told me the
story as we stood on the second floor
of the market house in Alexandria
and locked down at the open court
within -. which is now filled with
hundreds of booths where the farm
ers oring their products for sale on
market days. 1T was on that spot"
said the officer. Washington was
knocked down by Lieut.. Payne. Payne
was candidate for the legislature
against Fairfax OF Alexandria. Wash
ington supported Fairfax, and when
he met Payne here, he made a 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 Alexandria rushed In and would
have made short work OF Payne had
Washington not prevented them. He
pointed to his black eye and told them
that this was 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
an amiable mood. He felt that he had
been in the wrong, and said Mr.
Payne, was wrong yesterday, but IL
you have had sufficient satisfaction,
let us be friends There was de-
canter 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 pallbearcrs at Washing
tons funeral"

he once Journey thither from Vir-
ginia to place his adopted son.
young Custis, under the care OF
the professors. Custis. however. did
not graduate from Kings college.
as Columbia was then called. He
had fallen in love with Nelly Cal
vert, daughter of Benedict Calvert.and
ended his studies abruptly to marry
the girl o. his choice. The story
OF Washington's connection with the
college, which incidentally reveals
much about the father OF his country
as the father OF family and some
thing Of college life during the last
century. is best told in his letters to
the Rev. DR.. Cooper. president of
Kings college. and to Mr.. Calvert.
The frst letter, dated April 8. 1918. Is
from Washington to Mr.. Calvert, and
reads as follows:
II am now set down to write to you
on = subject of Importance and Of no
small embarrassment to me. My SON
in-law and ward. Mr.. Custis, has. as
have been informed. paid his addresses
to your second daughter. and having
made some progress in her affections.
has solicited her in marriage. How
far a union Of this sort may be agree
able to you you best can tell: but
should think myself wanting in can
dor we're I not to confess that Miss
Nelly's amiable qualities are acknowl-
edged on all hands and that an ALI
ance with your family will be pleasing
to hss."
But the couple was very young. and
the letter goes on to recommend
postponement for two or three years.
in which time Mr.. Custis might pros
ecute his studies and render himself
more deserving OF the lady and useful
to society"
That Mr.. Calvert acquiesced in this
view Is probable. In letter OF April
13, to Lord Dunmore. governor OF Vir-
ginia. Washington bids him farewell
in these words: "The design OF my
Journey to New York is to take my
son-in-law. Mr.. Custis. to Kings col
lege. II your lordship. therefore. has
any commands shall think myself
honored In being the bearer OF them"
By the end of the next month the
young man was duly entered as a stu
dent. and Washington departed from
New York, leaving a letter to DR..
