When n Girls Engaged.

Helen Watterson Moody. in Ladies' Home
Journal.
L think one reason why the married life
so often has too little romance in it is be-
cause the engaged life has had nothing
else. 1 know of no preservative of ro-
nance in married life so sure as good
housekeeping, and know of no profession
so serious, so absorbing, so demanding
preparation and skill as the profession of
the housewife.
When a young woman marries she as
rarely enters upon the practice of a life
profession as does a young man when he

years spent in preparation.
himself fully for his part of the partner
ship: Does it seem business-lilxe and in
good faith for q woman to take the place
of the second partner with a most indif-
ferent and superficial training, or even none
at all?
The girl whose engaged life is not a
period of mere waiting, not simply q ro-
mantle dream, but is filled with happy,
practical preparation for the sacred duties
she is about to assume, is not the girl whose
heart is filed with the small jealousies and
petty anxieties of love that is half sus-
picious.
Her love having been given, her faith goes
with it and rests there. She does not de-
mand the exclusive attentions of her lover
nor every hour of his time which can be
snatched from business. She is large In her
love because her life, like his is full of
wholesome activities and interests which
have their center in love, to be sure but
whose circumference lie quite outside.
She neither tries nor bores her lover; she
rests and inspires him. She is able to give
greatly because her possessions are great

the fact that he was married in the library
of Mount Vernon mansion by ParsOn Lib
bey in the presence of the Washington fam
lily, and was the only slave who ever had
that honor. In olden times in the South
masters used to perform the marriage cere-
mony. but on the occasion of Edmund S
wedding Augustine Washington was i'll and
Parson Libbey, who was member of the
family circle. was called upon to of1ciate.
Uncle Edmund S successor as guard of the
tomb of Washington is Thomas Bushrod,
another venera BILE negro. who for the last
eight years has been sexton at Pohick
Church, in Fairfax county. Virginia, with
which Washington was so closely identified.
Washington served on the committee that
selected the site and superintended its con-
struction and was vestryman and warden
of the parish for many years. In the spring
of 1862 Union soldiers were camped in and
around the church and very nearly de-
stroyed it. Private contributions from pa
triotic people assisted the impoverished
parishioners to repair the venerable edifice
so that it can still be used and there is a
bill before Congress- to paw an indemnity
for the damage SO as to enable 1t TO be re-
stored to its original condition.
Thomas Bushrod was born in 1926 near
WarrentOn, Fauquier county. He was a
slave Of the Fitzhugh family from 1847
when his home was changed to a plantation
near Pohick Church. in Fairfax county
where he has since lived. He is a man Of
venerable appearance and quaint dignity

Man Who Thinks a Live One Is Cor

Washington Post.
Eve are taught that the mastodon is an
extinct animal, but / am strongly inclined
to the opinion that the scientific world is
going TO be surprised at the news of the
capture of live one at no distant day, SAID
Mr.. J. c. Detrick. Mr. Deitrick has just
reached here from the Koyukuk river, one
hundred miles north of the arctic circle.
Recent events" said he, seems to prove
that the huge beasts are still roaming about
in the Wilds Of northern Alaska. Last Oc-
tober some Indians came into Peavey,
inland settlement They excitedly declared
that they had seen a huge red devil while
hunting IN the Big Moose valley, and that
the red devil was so immense that it scared
all the other game into the mountains. The
red men said the monster was bigger than
any house in Peavey. They were afraid to
shoot at it for fear of all sorts of bad luck.
After considerable trouble two Indians
were hired to go with some of the white
miners to the place where they had last
sighted the supposed mastodon. There was
no snow on the ground, but it was frozen
hard and covered with frost. An enormous
track and trail through the brush were soon
encountered and the hearts of the white
men beat high with hope that they would
be the first of modern men TO come across
species of animal supposed to have long since
been extinct. The track was on the order
of an elephants; 1t was twenty-eght inches
long and fifteen inches wide. The beast went

no great feat. for they were pines that had

After several days absence the white
men came back after dogs and supplies to
renew the chase and it may be that they met
with success. for do not know the result
of the second expedition. Mr.. P. B. Weare,
the president Of big transportation COM
pany has built a church and schoolhouse
at Peavey, and he has offered the Indians
5000 to bring the big red devil alive into
the town. The Indians were bothered in fig
uring out this large sum, so they told Mr.
Weare that it was too much, and they would
ask only $500.
In a cave beyond Peavey, on the Totsen-
betna river, a cove has been discovered in
which are the bones of many mastodons
Some day I expect to construct a whole
mastodon from these bones and bring it to
the Smithsonian Institution. The Indians of
that region are rapidly dwindling and their
speedy extinction is threatened. They are
very superstitious. and when sick give them
selves into the care of the medicine men. who
execute sort of devils dance around the
patient and then put him out in the snow to
freeze out the evil spirit Under such treat
ment the patient every once and awhile pulls
through, but oftener dies. Curously enough
these Indians ascribe all their bad luck to
their forefathers, who brought adversely on
the whole race by hunting the big red devil.
That accounts for their reluctance to go on
! the trail of the one they saw in Big Moose
valley"
