FOND OF THE GIRLS.

The Love Affairs Of the Father Of His
Country.
George Washington's love affairs be-
gan at very early age, and he was to
the day of his death fond Of the girls. a"
The first sweetheart was one Mary
Bland, with whom he fell In love when
he was only IA years of age. This is
ascertained from an entry in one Of his
diaries, where lie refers to her as his
Rowland beauty" Having tired Of
Mary, he wrote to a friend that he had
decided to bury his chaste and trou-
blesome passion" which, having done,
he soon found himself enamored Of
Lucy Cary, a sister-in-law Of Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this young
lady lasted for some years, being only
interrupted rSw and again by his nat
ural Virginia passion of making love
to every pretty girl whom he met.
In 1902 his first serious love affair
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with certain Miss Betsy Fauntleroy,
he determined to ask her to become his
wife. but the fates had destined him
to marry another. for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came back
to her, but found that she had not
changed her mind on that score.
His next heartache was caused by n
girl in New York after he had become
q colonel. She was the heiress Mary
Phillipse. His business called him
away from her: but, having finished
this, he returned to New York and pro-
posed to her, but was here as before,
disappointed by her refusal.
In 1853 at Waynes Ferry, while
travelling to Williamsburg with dis
patches, he met his future wife, Mrs.
Martha cambridge Gusts. the widow
Of Daniel Park Gusts. We learn from
history that she was young, pretty, in
telligent and rich. He had been with
her all of an afternoon and was to ride
away to his home the next morning.
On his way he stopped at her home
and then and there told Of his love and
asked her to become his mate for life.
This time. contrary to his previous
proposals. he was accepted.-Chicago
Times Herald.

Emerson's dictum that we should
treat every one as II he were all he
ought to be is an excellent rule to prac-
tice in daily life. 1t Is human nature
to rise to the level that Is expected Of
1t. 1t Is not necessary to waste time
upon uncongenial people unless you are
bound to them by strong family ties,
but 1t is important that all with whom
you come in contact be studied, with
the desire on your part to give credit
for all that is good in them and that
nothing in their outward circumstances
or appearance be allowed to prejudice
you against them.-Ada @. Sweet In
Woman's Home Companion.

Brief and Pithy.

An American law journal has quoted
the charge to jury delivered by GER
tain Judge Donovan as the shortest on
record. The judge said:
"Gentlemen of the jury. IL you be-
lieve the plaintiff, find a verdict for
plaintiff and fix the amount. If you be-
lieve the defendant, find a verdict for
defendant. Follow the officer"
But an English periodical caps this
brief charge by quoting a shorter one
delivered by Commissioner Kerr. He
said to jury:
THAT man says prisoner robbed him.
The prisoner says he didn't. You settle

How. Would You HIVE Said Itf

There is much in the way a thing is
said. ''Your cheeks are like roses"
said Aunt Flora when Lois came in
from January walk, glowing from
the cold and exercise Lois smiled
and looked lovingly at Aunt Flora
Aunt Margaret entered the room a
minute later and glancing at Lois as
she stood by the fire said: my! Your
face Is as red as beet"'
The red grew deeper on Lois face,
while unconseiously she turned petu-
lantly away from Aunt Margaret, who
prides herself on being plain spoken"
Aunt Floras way is best. She can
say the right word at the right time,
too, even the word Of admonition and
reproof, but she says it in such a man
ner that one can think only Of the
Scriptural "apples Of gold in pictures
of silver. G. Sweet in Woman's
