And when the night grew dark without.
What mighty themes they talked about
In those historic days!
Or how their souls with rapture scared
When Nelly at her harpsichord
Sang gay and gallant lays!
Oh. brave and bold were women then,
And pure as women were the men
For that was long ago;
The old then felt the Zest Of youth,
The young were sober, and In truth
1t ever should be so.

going over the same ground as in
1899. So elaborate are the con-
templated ceremonies that already
plans are being put into shape for the
great event of 1899.
As General Washington was Mason,
the services over his body were con-
Quoted, in part, at least, by the Masons,
and so the anniversary services will
be under the direction of the Grand
Lodge Of Virginia, Free and Accepted
Masons. The Grand Lodge will meet
in Alexandria, and, escorted by Lodge
Nc. 4, of Fredericksburg, in which
Washington received his first degree;
Washington Lodge, No. %, of Alex
andria, of which he was the first
master, and Federal Lodge, of Wash
ington, and representatives of every
grand lodge in America, will 60 to
Mount Vernon and there repeat the
services of December 18, 1899.
1t is expected that President Nc
Kinley, himself a Mason, will make
an address, and after the ceremonies
a banquet will be given in Washing
ton.
The march to the tomb will pass, of
course, the old tomb IN which Wash
ington's body was buried, and in
which it rested for more than thirty
years, though the objective point of
the procession will be the new tomb,
where the coffin now is.
In his will Washington stated that
"the family vault at Mount Vernon re-
quiring repairs, and being improperly
situated, 1 desire that q new one, of
brick, and upon a larger scale, may be
built at the foot of what is called the
Vineyard Enclosure, on the ground
which is marked out, in which my re.
mains and those Of my deceased rela.
tives (now in the old vaultl, and such
others of my family as may choose
to be entombed there, may be de-
| posted"
Notwithstanding his request. it was
not until 1881 that the new tomb was
built and Washington's body placed
therein. And then the old vault was
allowed to fall into a state of decay
In recent years it has been rebuilt
from drawing in the Congressiona
Library, and it is now surrounded b,
an iron fence, and is kept up will
the same care as the new tomb.
In 1887, when the marble sarcophag
in which the collins OF Washington an,
his wife rest were placed in the new
tomb, the key of that tomb was throw
into the Potomac River.
At the request of Martha Washing
ton door was made to the old tom
at the time of the Generals burial
instead of closing it with brick, as ha
been the custom at previous burials

what they all knew to be true. He
also knew precisely what was neces-
sary for the construction of the huts,
what tools were needed and what ma
terials. His order of December Is,
TIT, transformed the whole army in
to cabin building host. Every man
had his place and duty, from the ma
jor- generals to the drummers. All the
tools were fairly divided; each regi-
ment had it's ground assigned it; the
street and intervals were marked out;
and when the work was begun, the
vail ey was alive with busy builders.
Each colonel divided his regiment
into parties of twelve, gave them their
share of axes and shovels, and let
them know that they were building a
home for themselves. A cabin was to
be occupied by twelve men. General
Washington added the stimulant of
reward to the party that should build
the best hut.
Two weeks of hard work, and huts
we're built and arranged in streets.
The work was done on diet of -four
mixed with water and baked in cakes,
with scarcely any meat or bread. At
night the men huddled around the
fires to keep from freezing. Few
blankets, few coverings, many soldiers
without shoes, ''wading naked in De-
cember's snows'-such were the at
tributes of Valley Forge. By the new
year the huts were done, the streets
laid out, and the army housed, with
some three thousand men unfit for
duty, frost-bitten, sick and hungry.
They had shelter, but that was about
all. The country had been swept so
bare by the passage of contendine
armies that even straw to lie upon was
hard to get, and the cold, uncov cred
ground often had to serve for sleep.

Washington's Farewell.

It was on December 4, 1888, that
Washington's officers assembled in
Frances Tavern, New York, to bid
him farewell. As he looked about on
his faithful friends his usual self-com-
mand deserted him and he could not
control his voice. Taking a glass, he
lifted it up and said simply: with a
heart full Of love and gratitude I now
take my leave of you, most devoutly
wishing that your latter days may be
as prosperous and happy rs your for
mer ones have been glorious and hon

The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-12-14

The picture made for the New York
Press from a photograph taken at the
royal villa in Tegernsee, represents
Duke Carl Theodore Of Bavaria and his
wife attending to a patient.
Removing c%ataracts is the Dukes
speciality. He has taken out more than
5000 since he began practicing twenty
years ago, and the majority of these
operations turned out successfully. In
deed, so great has been Carl Theo-
dore's success in this special line that
the Medical Chambers of Germany pc
titioned him to charge the usual fee
for his work, "as he was drawing the
best part of the custom from regular
physicians"
To this the Duke agreed-in a meas
ure. He promised to hand to his we'll
TODD patients stiff bills thereafter, and
then. like the true Samaritan he is,
went to work to snend the money he

expected to take in by setting up three
eye hospitals for the poor-one in
Munich, the other in Meran and the
third in Tegernsee. 1t costs more than
$4,000 a year to keep up these institu-
tions-a bagatelle compared with the
income Carl Theodore should have
from his rich customers. But, as
things go, he pays three-fourths of the
sum out of his pocket, for, know
ing that their doctors claim will not
be pressed against them, most of the
rich patients sneak away with a
thank you, ever so much" and an in
significant poor-box contribution.
Such ingratitude would disgust nine
out of ten philanthropists with their
self-imposed duties.
Not so the Duke and Duchess. Poor
as they are-for people in their station
in life-they cheerfully continue to
bear the expense of their hospitals,
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-12-14

hoping against hope that one day there
will be a great windfall that may place
their charity above want.
Meanwhile the royal couple have re-
duced their stable and have curtailed
their social expenses in every way pos
sible. Carl Theodore, his wife and
their children, live like private people,
refusing to indulge in such luxuries
as court marshals, ladies and gentle
men of the court, etc. The money
saved goes to bring life and happiness
to thousands of people in the course of
a year, for the Duke has often as many
as thirty callers a day.

operations he can't see all the patients

and Marie, take preliminary charge of

father was the owner of a shingle mill,
and when he died ten years ago the

her expectations, and now has custom

is at Masardis, in the heart of the lum-
Der district. The machinery that went
into the building Miss Stimson herself
bargained for, making better arrange
ments, it is said, than any man had
done in that country before. She is
successful at the markets in Boston

larly, and she says that contractors and
laborers are always equally courteous
to her.-Boston Advertiser.

SPEND TOO MUCH FOR DRESS

If the opinion of the average Eng

Europe-American women spend too
much money on their personal adorn-

America that they consider themselves
obliged to buy perishable dresses to
meet the exigencies of fashion, while
in England a princess, a duchess, will
do with one handsome silk as her only

makers and the frequent changes of
fashion make dress a very serious bust

if they chance to be poor. And in Civ
