WASHINGTON'S SWORD
WILL BE SOLD BECAUSE A BABY
WILL NEED THE MONEY.

Miss Virginia Lewis, who has at last
consented TO sell the sword OF Wash
ington. for which she once refused $780,.
900, says the San Francisco correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, was
turned from her desire TO keep 1t by
the prattlings of a baby and that baby
is certainly entitled to the money, IL
blood counts for anything Mrs. Grace
Lee Lewis Mann is the mother of the
baby, and the niece of Miss Lewis who
set out for Baltimore a little while ago
to sell the sword. Miss Lewis has al
ready negotiated by mall and in per-
son with the Metropolitan museum Of
New York, but the museum disagrees
with her In n matter OF $50, coo. She wants
her 100000 for the heirloom and It's
offer has not yet gone above the half
Of that price.
1t certainly has accomplished about
enough for one sword already. 1t attend

a trick or two 1t might have earned
a rest by this time, one would think
but no. It Is to bring a neat price
that Baby Mann may have what her
mother calls more nice things when
she grows up.
The line by which Mrs Mann trac s
her connection with George Washington
Is a long one, full OF distinguished peo-
pie. She is to join the Society Of Col
onial Danes. A lot of people would
give their eyes to be able to squeeze

Der Look at the names on Mrs
Mann's application:
On the paternal side she claims lineal
descent from Hon. John Lewis. Hon.
Augustine Darner, Col. Lawrence Wash
ington, Col Augustine Washington, Col.
Fielding Lewis On the maternal side
she claims lineal descent from Gov.
Samuel Ogle, Gov BENJAMIN Tasker,
William Bladen. Col John Taylor, Hon.
Henry Corbin.
Any one Of these ancestors would en-
title her TO become a member Of the
Colonial Danes. All Of them together
make her tenfold a member, and that Is
more than enough for one seventeen
year-old woman But she has the
further audaclty to have George WASH
ington for her great-great-g reat-grand-
uncle
This comes through the marriage OF
Col. Fielding Lewis and Elizabeth WASH
ington, the presidents s.s.er.
When Mrs. Mann was baptized the
water with which she was sprinkled
was contained in Washington's punch
bowl. When the baby was baptized
