geese and swan. OF the wild duck
family there seemed TO be evory rep

never seen about our northern lakes,
but none of the specimens bagged by
sportsmen in this latitude seemed to
be absent. Those were in the days be-
fore our troops fought their way inch

reached the lake on the advance 10 the
campaigns in the jungle, many of our
soldiers enjoyed the sport of duck
shooting. A month after the advance
of our army the great flocks of water
fowl had disappeared. nor did they re-
turn until long atterward, when the
sound of battle had left the country
about the lake.
The sportsman who chances TO try
his luck in the Philippines can find
plenty of good shooting at wild pigeons
and wild doves; and there are loriots,
woodcock and many specimens of

Jefferson as he stood before the fire

the tea into the saucer.
"You have answered your own oues-

ington was born, and few bricks and
stones are all that remain of his early
home.
The old country mansion was
burned early in the last century, but
the brick chimney, within whose arch
four people could sit, and the corner
stones, with a portion of the founda-
ton, were saved. Shortly before the
civil war the historic farm passed into
the hands of a family which at first
showed some appreciation for It's as
sociation. A succeeding generation,
however, tore down the chimney and
the remnant of the walls in order to
secure the bricks. A marble slab
bearing an inscription giving the date
Of Washington's birth and other in
great arch, was removed to the old
family graveyard; but in placing it
beneath two ancient fig-trees planted
by the mother of Washington it was
broken, and its fragments lie here to-
day, mossgrown and vine-covered.
1t was in 1895 that the national
government erected at Wakefield a
miniature copy of the Washington
monument, with the inscription
"Washington's Birthplace" and in
small letters at the base the words

WASHINGTON A BORN LEADER.
Interesting "reminiscences of One of

Washington's Comrades In Arms.
washington had the stuff in him
and the kind Of mind that enable a
man to govern and influence other
men" said General William 0. Butler,
son of one of the four famous fight
| ing Buffers" of the Revolution himself
a major general in the Mexican war
and candidate for the vice presiden-
cy who barely missed being elected.
"My father knew General Washington
as intimately as did any Of his staff, -
said General Butler in 1865.
HE always said that General Wash
ington possessed more of the qualities
that go to make up great man than
any of the leading figures of the Revo-
luton. Greene came next to Wash
ington, he thought, in force ard abili-
ty. No other man could have done
what he did. Modern historians nave
but little idea Of the difficulties Wash
ington experienced. Outside of his
position as general in chief there were
so many things to worry and annoy
him. The chief military trouble was
with his own intimate friends, relating
to questions Of rank. Especially diff
cult was General Washington's posi-
ton when Lafayette came to our aid,
and congress, as you know, made him
| a major general at once. This action
greatly offended the older officers, hot
headed fellows, sturdy, dashing tight
ers-generals Of brigades, and 2olOnels
who had made the continental line
what it was-and yet they had to take
their orders from a man but % years
of age, who had never been under fire
and was unable at first to communi-
an interpreter
"In the pacificatiOn Of these officers
General Washington showed the great
est TACT" said General Butler. "'Yes,
| gentlemen he said to them, it is true
that Lafayette is but %, that he was
made a major general by congress
upon my recommendation. What else
could | do? He brought us 10000
stand of the best muskets Europe
could produce (the French musket OF
that day weighed pounds, was very
carefully made, had a particularly
good lock, while the English Ere lock
weighed II pounds, and it's lock was
clumsy. badly fitted and very prone TO
miss fire. and 5000 sabers, 1000
pairs of military pistols and bits for
brides, and the stirrups and other
ironwork for saddles, besides 1900
! cavalry carbines or musketoons
Without these arms we could never
have equipped our army. Then he
brought and caused to be sent to us
about 100000 in gold. 1t is not toe
much to say that but for Lafayette's
aid just at the time it came our army
must have been disbanded for want OF
equipment and arms
These representations soon quoted
the testy and hot blooded continental
generals when they were made IN mis-
forcible way by General Washington.

NEVER KNEELED IN CHURCH.

Washington once said that on the
preceding Sunday he had received a
very just reproof from the pulpit for
always leaving the church before the
administration of the sacrament; that
he honored the preacher for his in
tegrity and candor; that he had never
considered the influence of his eX-
ample; that he would never again
give cause for the repetition of the
reproOf; and that, as he had never
been d communicate, were he to De
come one then it would be imputed to
an ostentatious display of religious
zeal arising altogether from his ele
waited station. Accordingly he after
wards never came on the morning Of
sacrament Sunday, though at other
times a constant attendant in the
morning.
Nellie Gusts, too. tells us that
Washington always "stood during the
devotional part of the service" and
Bishop White states that "his behav~
