ing some anecdotes of the life of the
Father of his Country. Glasmann said;
THE Ratchet and cherry tree story,
published for the first time in Weems
History of Washington, was admitted
TO be a pure fabrication by ParsOn
Weems the writer of the book. Preach
er Weems gathered up all the little
Willie stories he could find, and ap-
piled them to Washington, and when
the book was first published the COM
mon by-wOrds were, Washington could
not, but ParsOn Weems would tell a
lie
Washington, we are told. could not
tell lie yet he wrote to a friend that
the New Jersey mosquitoes could bite
through the thickest boot Again,
without a blush, he wrote: I an
nounced that 7 would leave at 8 o'clock
and then gave private orders to go at
o'clock and thus avoided the throng-
Then to avoid dancing with a woman
ne despised, he says: I promised to
dance with her after the midnight meal,
and then purposely left before the
feast Some of those tricks are even
played today.
when washington made his first
Indian campaign he dressed himself in
full Indian regalia minus only the war
paint, and at the head of his troops
RACED every Indian village in sight, and
the Indians called him 'COnotancarius,
/ or Plunderer of Villages. So daring,
I fierce and blOodthirsty was George that
/ the Indians fell in love with him, Of

/ him an Indian princess for a wife.
/ Washington danced and played

! Washington was a willing candidate

prize, yet George wrote to his wife, who
objected to his absence from home, and
said: i assure you, dead Patsy, I die

to avoid it, and you must, therefore
/ consent to a long absence. George al

tuted the true elements of greatness
in the first American, and which
should be the qualifications of official
and political men Of today.
The services were opened with a
chorus by the choir, followed by alter
nate scripture reading and response by
choir Patriotic selections were inter
spersed. Carl Scheid then sang the
beautiful solo, "A Dream of Paradise
Rabbi Reynolds then took his text
from q verse in Job, which reads:
Though thy beginning be small, yet
thy latter end shall become great He
applied this prophecy to the United
States saying that this nation. though
it had bet a small start and hard
struggle for that, yet it should broaden
out through time, becoming more
bright and magnificent. The beginning
he attributed to the work of Washing
ton, and the growth and broadening
out, he said, would be a monument TO
that leaders, true manhood
The speaker said in conclusion that
it was his wish that all men who oc-
cupied positions in legislatures and in
the congress of this nation would look
more upon WashingtOn's true great
ness and strive to become more like
him. but less corruption might exist

wool. sales at the three chief eastern
markets aggregating S.52e,oUD pouhoS
for the last week, against 6,9l2,60O IN
the previous week, and 2,Ss3,500 a month
ago. Although transactions are neaNler
than at any time in over a year the
situation is far from satisfactory. as
each week brings a lower level or
prices. There is little evidence OF
better demand for goods, and while
some holders of wool are sacrificing
stocks in order to make room for the
new clip. the actual supply is not ma
terialiy decreasing
Purchases are larger because OF the
feeling that prices must be near the
bottom, and this impression is deepened
by statements that the average IS now
down to the point from which the great
advance began in 1889. 1t is not down
TO that point by more than half cent,
however. although a few grades are
nearer the price on May 1, 1893 than

turers receive larger orders and reduce
excessive stocks before supplies are
augmented by another clip, it is dim
cult TO see why prices should advance,
even if they are at the level OF Two

TO SELL
PANAMA CANAL

New York, Feb. 22.-Dr. Carlos Mar
tinez Silva, the minister of foreign at
fairs of the republic of Colombia, who
has arrived in Washington, came to
this country fully prepared and author
lied by the government to negotiate
treaty with the United States for the
Panama canal.
The concession of this canal, which
is held by the French Panama Canal
company, few months ago was eX-
tended from 1904 to 1910. on payment OF
81 600 600, but Colon bia believes she
can induce this company to sell its
rights to the United States
J. T. Ford, an engineer who IS as
sociated with DR.. Silva as adviser, and
from whom this information was OBJ
tanned, says he believes the treaty CO.
lOmbia wishes to negotiate, will give
to the United States every shred OF
control over the canal that any person
could demand short of al actual pUr-
chase in fee simple, or transfer of SOW
ereignty This is impossible, not only
at Panama, but as you viii observe in
the very vague offers from Nicaragua
and Costa Rica no such thing is there

Boise, Ida, Feb. 22.-The legislative re-

Two of these are expected to come from
the fusionists from Latah county. The

more representation for ShOshOne county

An effort will be made to amend the
