"How could 1 tell you that, Master

"How could / tell you that, Master
JackY'
"Are you bigger than my father? do
you know my father? My fathers
big man, bigger than me good deal.
Ny fathers just come to live here and
farm Do you live near here? Were
you in the war? Did you kill any
EnglisEmen? Did you get hurted?
My father fought in the war and got
a bullet through his nose. 1t makes
him look awful funny, You've a big
nose. A boy hit me on the nose once,
and il bleeded awful. l guess your
nose would bleed lots, wouldn't it?
Oh, what a nice chain, Won't you
show me your watch? Oh, what a
nice watch-will you show me the in
side?"
"After," said the general with his
arm gently round the child, "after
we've given up thinking of going fish
ing, and brought the water for sister,
and chopped some wood"
Jack looked quite startled and
turned red. The big, kind, yet firm
eyes looked into Master Pert's and
Master Pert stuffed his knuckles into
the corners.
"Toot, toot!" said the general, "come,
I'll help you"
So the gray-eyed, pleasant-faced lit
lie girl, coming back, found the father
of his country breaking up wood at a
great rate, while her little brother was
laughingly gathering chips.
"Oh, SIR" said Martha, with amaze,
what a man you'd be around the
house!"
And she was still more amazed at
| the effect her words had upon the
stranger, who dropped the ak and
threw his head back with quite roar
of laughter, until, for the pure happi-
ness of it, little Jack and Martha
laughed too.
81 like you" said Jack, grabbing the
generals hand as they went into the
house. "Come and see us often and
I'll show you where the best fishing
place IS"
"My father would be glad to well
come you. sir" said the courtly maid
en-. "His business takes him away
just now almost every day, but in the
spring"
81 thank you kindly" said the gen.
eral. "And as / live near here, | hope
| shall be friends with my new neigh
bors. But this is milk?"
81 thought you'd like it better than
water, sir. And please try these cakes,
which I made this morning because
"Cause it's her birthday" cried
Jack. "She's 10 and I'm seven"
Now that Is a happy coincidence "
said the general, because it is also
my birthday, beg to wish you'many
happy returns of the day"

RELIEVED THE SENTINEL.
Washington Walked on Guard Mt
Valley Forge While n Starving
Soldier Breakfasted.

William Perrine gives a graphic pic.
ture of Washingtons memorable win
ter of suffering at Valley Forge in the
Ladies Home journal. "Sentinels pac-
ing in the snow on the outposts took
off their caps and stood in them to save
their feet from freezing" he writes.
Here and there could be found even
officers in sort of dressing-gown made
Of old woolen bed-covers. The stout
hearted women Of New Jersey sent
their quilted clothes as Christmas pres
ents, with the patriotic jest that as
women were said sometimes to wear
the trousers, so row there would be an
excuse for men who might wear the
petticoat. Washington, who never eX-
aggerated, said that few men had more
than one shirt, many only ha.f one,
and some none at all, Nearly 5000 men
were barefooted, and occasionally
might be seen soldier who was all
but naked Sometimes there was moth
ing to eat in the camp but rotten salted
herrings. Men were known TO snatch
at the dough Of half-baked cakes in the
kitchens of farmers wives. The con-
tractors and the commissary' agents
and the continental congress had
brought $4,000 men to the verge of
starvation, and the blood Of Gen. Wayne
ran hot with rage as he looked on his
poor fellows weak with hunger. In
deed, there was but one horn tumbler
and also but one wooden dish for every
mess. Washington himself dined one
day on potatoes and hickory nuts. My
good man. he said 10 the sentinel In
front Of his headquarters, pacing up
and down in the bitterness OF cold
morning, have you had anything TO
eat| No, SIR was the reply. Give
me your musket then, and go inside
and get some breakfast and the tall
commander gravely walked up and
down as guard over ais own house"

And he bowed very low, and she
bobbed her very best courtesy, and
Jack cried out:

Time was getting on, but the gener-
nj was loath TO go, lie was enjoying
himself for the first time In long
time. He brought water; he mcnded
the window latch; he planned out u

In the merry company Of these chill
drcn, who only thought him passing,
unusually good-natured stranger But
at last he went with grlmace at the
thought Of all the laced and silken
crowd waiting for him.
The two children, quite frightened
by his presence, worked about busily,
and played about merrily, and made
things pleasant for father at sun.

But an hoGr before sundown came
riding by two people who called them
selves gentlemen but nobody really
thought them so. They had been
mcrry.maklng and one mans horse
had lost q shoe, and his drunken dig
nifty was such that he must pause ut
the cottage TO send for q blacksmith
TO como to him or else have his horse
led to the blacksmiths while he wait.
cd, II was evident that the dwcllcrs
ut the cottage were poor folks and
these gentlemen felt assured their
lordly orders would be obeyed, Now,
Miss Martha was civil, II frightened,
but Master Jack was sullen, and when
the young, winc.hcatcd man bade him
lead the horse or fetch the smith,
jack fatty refused TO do either,
"What, what Youll be paid"
shouted the owner OF the horse,
"Come, young mistress, have you no
wine for weary travelers2"
Indeed, no, sir" said Martha, "but
further on the post road"
"1'll go no further on the post or
any other road, Haste now, Flibber-
tigibbet, and do as You are told"
"t'll stay here and protect my ais

me-"

truth II pretty sister. Come, my dear,
lot me also DO u brother"
The Van Buren press., 1900-02-17

He staggered up, and Jack-Jack
hew.at his throat like terrier, The
girl screamed, the other man raised
mis- riding whip and struck down on
the boy. Jack yelled from rage and
anguish, but clung to the choking
throat, never needing the first blows
raned on him. The cottage was in
dreadful uproar; when in rushed the
stranger of the morning, and it is said
but yon need not believe it unless
you want to-he used dreadfully bad
word. Those two foolish young men
never were in such trouble before. In
George Washington's great right arm
swung one of them, helpless, and in
the left another, and bump, bump,
bumpety bump, went the two empty,
foolish, braggart, blackguard heads,
cracking against each other like cocoa
nuts on tree in a storm. When they
were almost senseless the general laid
them down with force and thrashed
them with their own whips, and sc
mangled and maltreated and mashed
them that, when at last they got to
their knees and begged for mercy,
their own loving mammas would have
Indignantly repudiated them as being
offspring Of theirs, In the meantime
Jacky Pert danced about cheering on
his new friend, and Martha sobbed in
a corner, hiding her face and begging
"Mr. George" for so the general had
called himself, not to kill anybody,
and not to get hurt himself. And then
the general threw aside his whip and
made the rascals stand up before him,
but they could only face that raging,
righteous eye with bowed heads and
bowed knees.

please let us go. lit was only the
wine. There was no harm done"
He waved them out, but the mis-
chief was done. At the words Gen.
Washington" little Jacks jaw dropped
and he shook like a felon at the
thought that he had threatened to kill
the best and greatest man in that or
any other country. Martha dropped to
her knees, but the general made her rise
and accept the birthday gift he had
run to Mount Vernon and back to get
for her, Still, it was not the same,
and the general felt saddened as he
went homeward, just as everybody has
felt saddened because he could not be
boy again.
However" said he to himself, with
smile, as he was dressing for the ball

A BIG BLIZZARD IN ENGLAND.
Nc Suspended nnd Coinmuni-
cation GENERALLY Delayed.

London, Feb. 15.-rhe effects Of the
blizzard which started Tuesday, are
: felt throughout Great Britain. Trains
are showed up in all directions and
street car lines are blocked up and tel
egraph and telephone wires are down,
delaying communication In all parts.
There have been great number OF
accidents due TO falling chimncys and
roof slate and from similar causes,
Mail vans and people travelling by foot
Ia country districts are reported miss
inN and several persons have been
found frozen to death In exposed
places.
The streets OF London are in fear
fill condition from the snow and
sleel, and many pedestrians have sus'
triped fractured limbs from falling on
the Icy pavemcnts, The horses have
suffered greatly, many having to be
shot after breaking their legs, Severe
gnlts have swept the COASTS.

want to know, grandpa says you're
hero, and l want to be a hero, toe, when
I'm growed up. Can't l, please? Grand
pa says not to talk nonsense. 1t isn't
nonsense, is it, general? Can't be
hero when I'm growed big"
Big Washington stopped and lifted
the child-did you ever know a hero
that didn't love children ?-and kissed
his cheek and whispered:
"None of us can be great or good
without Gods blessing. To be hero
you must be. good as great. So pray
first and always that God will make
you good"
The little enthusiast looked deep and
grave into the generals eyes, suddenly
kissed the kind mouth hard, said: 81
WILL" and, sliding down, rode off with
his groom-alwaysa a better man for that
caressing whisper.
When it was still long from the state
ly festival dinner George Washington
slipped away from the crowd at the
house and wandered off by himself,
though with great dread that some pale
young man should jump out from a
bush and fire birthday ode at him.
Now he was off Mount Vernon farm,
and by a lane away from the main road.
In the corner of the lane, in most de-
serted, newly-cleared spot, about so
feet back in the bushes, was the new
est of tiny cottages, with unpainted
walls, and rough timbers, and newly
laid-out garden at the back. George
Washington looked from the wood
through which he was wandering, and
paused.
"That was not there when had time
before the war to run about" said he.
"Who can they be? They're not AT
ricans. Oh, mol"
For from the house came bright
voice that was certainly Virginian.
"Now, jack" said the voice, you
must not be so lazy, because there is
ever so much to do before father comes
home"
81 amt lazy, Martha" said another
voice, unmistakably the shrill one OF
Il boy. "I'm doing what dad said
Pm looking after you and protecting
you.'
ooh, Jack, do you call eating rails
ins and sitting on the table protecting
me?"
"Well, IL is. II anyone was to come
round now to hurt you, even King
George himself, wouldn't be ready tc
kill him?"
"Well," said Martha, with laugh, 81
don't expect King George this morn
ing. Our George, bless him"
"IIooray!"
"Has boxed his ears. But there Is

"These are hard facts" continued
Mr.. Schurmann "and as strange us
