l. There are many changes in the place
since General Washington and his
army took Pear Tavern. The accurate
tracing of the landmarks is made
somewhat difficult by the building of
the Delaware and Raritan canal feeder,
which parallels the river, and the diff
ference in the present grades and
roads from those that existed in 1776.
The old house, then tavern, was
far too small to be of any use, save to
the officers. It is Il quaint structure,
shingled and whitewashed. The front
shows two entrances and q double
door at each, with bright flowers be-

the house are three rooms Of good size

The Cherry Tree Story.

The cherry tree story is pure fiction
an invention of Washirgton's first
biographer, Parson Mason L. Weems,
whose budget Of anecdotes. to which
were usually appended first class
moral, was accepted as truth by an
unsuspecting world because its author
was the earliest in the field with life
of the great man. The scene of the
cherry tree incident is located on the
Stafford farm, where Washington's 8
father died, and from which his
mother moved to the house in Fretler-
ieksburg, Virginia.

He Told One.

Washington told lie when boy,
according to tradition in the town of
his youth-Fredericksburg. Being
buta tradition-a great-grandmother's
narrative--it is given for what it is
worth. The story runs that Wash
ington, thirteen years old at the time,
was sent by his mother to drive home
a COW from the nearby pasture, and
milk it when stabbed The COW was
duly driven to shelter by George,
who. disliking menial tasks, neglected
to milk the beast. He had gone to
bed when his mother, hearing the
believing of the COW, and suspecting
something wrong, called to George,
asking if he had obeyed her iniunc-
ton about milking. Sleepiy he an

Feeling himself to be the aggressor,
Washington resolved to make honor

he wrote polite note to Mr. Payne,
requesting to see him at the tavern.
Payne repaired to the place appointed
