AT the close of century after
his Inauguration Washington's hold
upon the hearts of his countrymen is
stronger than ever before. In purity
of motive, steadfastness Of aim, in
corruptible integrity and lofty
patriotism he is still the model to
which we point our youth, the pat
tern OF every statesman. the pride OF
us all. ."-Margaret E. Sangster.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1899-03-16

Il can only say that, seen from
my special point of view, Washing
ton was a great Englishman. who
fought for English rights against the
Government of the king Of England,
not against the English nation.
Hatred of the English nstion he
never betrayed, nor could be be
fostering it ."-ProC. Gstdwin
Smith.

"Around the name of Washington
has gathered halo of completeness
which marks and crowns the highest
reaches of any achievement and
honor. Whenever in boyhood my
parents or my instructors wished to
use a name as means of grace to a
wayward lad they pointed to that of
George Washington. Later years
and the revelations of great war
have perhaps stripped the name and
fame of Washington OF some of their
classic glamour, OF some of their
singular sacredness, but there has
remained in my mind deeper
reverence for the noble character Of
our first president than for any other
of the grand heroes which the nation
has produced. His ability, his wis
dom, his piety, his indomita BILE
energy and his unseltish patriotism
certainly can never be exceeded. We
have greatly loved Lincoln, heartily
trusted Grant, but surely our souls
cleave in reverent affection, above
all, to Wasington."-Gencrat o. o.
Ho,Udrd.

He who was the first OF soldiers
was likewise the most exemplary Of
citizens. The wisdom which gave
him pre-eminence in the field was
equally useful in guiding the ship OF
state in the most temPestuous
waters through which it has eTer
been called to hold it's course. In
this work also he found ample scope
for the lessons he had learned ia the
wilderness, when the radiant qualities
of his soul were called forth by his
contests which the forces OF nature.
and when he held com munion in the
deep solitude OF mountain and forest
and by the untamed waters OF that
river which now bears upon its
bosom the commerce OF a mighty
population. The only other citizen
who is worthy to be named with him
is Lincoln. ."-Rer. E. II. Cdpen. d. ID.
The character, the counsels, and
example of our Washington will
guide us through the doubts and
difficulties that beset US; they will
guide our children and our chill
dren's children in the path Of pros
perity and peace, while America
shall hold her place in the family OF
nations. ."-EdUdrd Ereretfs Address.

A FAMILIAR VERDICT.
" Killed Himself in a Fit of
Dependency"
A Theory of Suicide Sustained by
Medical Evidence.

Is there any relation to be traced
between the prevalence of stomach
trouble" and the prevalence of suicide
while in a despondent state of mind?"
That is n question which only an OBJ
servant person would ask. but, being
asked, It suggests n very important
Aeld of inquiry.
Every dyspeptic knows what it is to
feel that dull cloud of dependency set
tie down on the mind as, a fog settles
down on the sea or wraps itself about
the mountain climber. The blue is
wiped out of the sky, the green fades
from the grass, the sun is blotted from
the heavens. There is a sense of fear
and dread of impending danger. Forms
seen through this fog of the mind are
magnified and distorted. looming large
and threatening like spectre of the
Brocken. It's a miserable feeling;
