then that a glimpse is given behind the veil of silence with which he is enshrouded It may be a stray sen tence, an apparently trivial incident, or the sympathetic interpretation of word or deed that helps us to find the real Washington, the pure and high minded Xirgipian gentleman of stain less honor, of simple and stately man Ter, of kind and generous heart.
 Studious and loving research of re cent years has brought to light many interesting facts concerning the per sonal life of Washington, while at the same time it has cleared away many time-worn traditions that seem to have had their origin in the fertile and un- serupulous brain of pre-revolutionary Boswell. The many who have sympa- thized with the view expressed by Mark Twain when he declared that he was a greater man than Washington, for the latter couldn't tell a lie, while he could but wouldn't, will certainly be glad to know that the youthful

 Young men have ever more a special care That womanish allurements prove not a
 snare"
 But, however carefully the boy may have studied legal forms, mathemati- cal laws, or social obseryances, to this particular admonition he seems to have given little heed. Indeed, when but a lad of 16 he pours out his heart in con fidence to a youthful correspondent, and graYely asserts that the society of a certain charming young lady "reyives my former passion for your Low Land Beauty, whereas was I to live more retired from young women I might in some measure eIiyiate my sorrows by bury ing that chast and troublesome Passion in the grave of oblivion or eternall for getfulness, for am very well assured that's the only antidote or remedy that I shall be releivd by"
 However woe-begone the young lover may have been, he was not wholly in- different to the charms of other fair maidens, for, at this same time, he was able to indite an acrostic to some adorable Miss Alexander, who seems 10 have wrought dire havoc in his youth ful heart, wherein he declares:
 ''XerXes. that great, wasn't free from

We can inn ag'ine the smlle of pleased retrospec- tion with which the author, grown great with years, regards his own suscepti- ble youth, when, in his sixty-third year, he discusses love philosophic- ally, acknowledging that fin the composition of the human frame, there is good deal of infam- mable matter" and gravely concluding, ''it follows, that love may and there fore ought to be under the guidance of reason, for although we cannot avoid first impressions, we may assuredly place them under guard"
 That Washington was never too fully engrossed in the tumult of war or the cares of state to be the tender and con siderate husband of the "sociable, pret- ty kind of woman"-to quote from contemporary-whom he married is shown frequently in his letters and diaries. He managed her large estate, to which she, mot possessing much sense though perfect lady," accord ing to another contemporary, was total- ly unequal, fathered her little prog eny," solicitously attending to the in oculation of little "Jacky," and deeply grieying over the death of dear Patsy" who, he records, "expired in one of her usual Fits" He even relieved her from the care of attending to her own ward robe, his orders to his London agent in-

FORTUNE IN OLD TIES.
Fine Example of Woman,s Toe.s- nuity and Business Acumen
 gs Here Shown.

.A The recent q gitation in the west as 4o
 orsting women from the business world
 seems ratherfarcical in view of the nosi-
 lions that women by sheer force of
 their own intelligent efforts are mak-
 ing for themselves all along the line. A
 fine example of what one woman's in-
 oeDuity and business acumen has ac-
 eompHsbed came to my ears only the
 other day.
 Upon the death some years ago of
 Mrs. Clara Morley's father-one of the
 many manufacturers of Grand Rapids
 his affairs were found to be in such state that the concern had to go into the hands of receiver. 3fr. Morley, who. up to this time, had had no connec- ton with the business. entered the fac tory with the determination of master ing= every detail from glued stock to double entry. It was not long before she had the business in her own hands. and but little longer before she began 10 win the respect of every business man in her especial line the country oyer
 Almost from the start she left little of the management to assistants. but made a point of personally seeing the business men with whom she had deal- ipgs. During one of her many trips she ebanced to see lying by the roadside pile of Wornout railroad ties. Her nat aral interest in wood prompted her to 20 over and exsmiEe them. She found that they were perfectly sound and whole, except around those portions where spikes had been driven. This set her to thinking. She interviewed some railroad companies and found that they were obliged to constantly renew these ties for no other reason than that they became worn around the spikes and were thus Ioosened. They were then regarded as useless and burned. Mrs. Morley had q wagon load of these dis earded ties sent up to her factory. and proceeded to have some hardwood plugs made of a size to be driven into these holes. By then driving spike through the plug she found that the tie held ex- actly as well as when new.
 She called the attention of a railroad eomFoay to the fact, and persuaded them to make q trial use of the repaired lies The results were entirely satis- factory. aud the road, quick to see what q tremendous saving this would be be- gaa ordering plugs in large quantities.

 Thus it is that Washington's diary and his wide correspondence betray in many stray sentence or chance allu- sion the real man masked by great re serve and greater dignity, as well as by the necessary formality of high es- tate. There can be no doubt whatever that at heart he hated ceremony as much as cid the democrats, but yielded to it from true sense of fitness and proper deference to the opinions of those about him. We gather that he had a decided taste for elegant and fashionable apparel, that he had dis tinet weakness for dancing, liked good game of cards, and was extremely fond of afternoon tea; that he loved good joke, had high temper, which became tremendous when it broke bounds, and that, when justly provoked he swore like an angel from heaven, ," if one of his generals may be believed. To outdoor sports he was especially devoted, and passionately fond of horse mansbip, loved to follow the hounds. enjoyed hunting and fishing, and even did not disdain an exciting cock-fght.
 Although we'll "educated by events" to use his own phrase, Washington never ceased to regret his limited share of the education of the schools; he admired all the more that which he himself had missed, showing an almost pathetic reverence for learning, espe- cially in its higher forms. All his sym pathies and tastes were those of a man
