old capital prison for nine months.
He returned to Mount Vernon for a
short time and then joined the Union
army at Fort Washington and re-
mained as cook for the band of the
Fourth Artillery until the close of the
war. Then he went back to his old
home again, and in 1874 was appoint
ed guard at the tomb of Washington
by the Ladies' Association, where he
remained until he was taken i'll, and
for six months was a great suferer
from cancer Of the stomach until
death released him. The regents pen
stoned him, did everything for his
comfort and paid his funeral ex-
penses.
Uncle Ed1und's successor as guard
of the tomb of Washington is Thomas
Bushrod, another venerable negro,
who for the last eight years has been
sexton at Pohick Church, in Fairfax
County, Virginia, with which Wash
ington was so closely identified.
Washington served on the committee
that selected the site and superin-
tended it's construction and was a
vestryman and warden of the parish
for many years.

The Quaint Old Colored Men Sta
toned at Mount Vernon.

Few of the millions of people who
have. visited Mount Vernon during
the last half century could have
overlooked the picturesque and stall
wart figure Of Uncle Edmund Parker
the old colored man who reverently
guarded the tomb of Washington.
His courtly and dignified manners,
his deeply marked face and the re,
spectful courtesy with which he an.
swered questions made an impres.
sion upon every one. He was tall
of stature, but his shoulders were
slightly bent with age, and his beard
and hair of late years became sprink-
led with gray.
The old man died with the old year
and is greatly missed by all the ha-
bitues of that sacred place, for he
had been there since 1871, with oc-
casional intervals of absence during
the war. He was born in 1927 at
Blakely Farm, near Charleston, w.

GORGE WASHINGTON, SOL

I III at his best as q lover.

~ GORGE WASHINGTON, SOL
/ dier, statesman and hero, was
III at his best as lover.
. From the time when he was
an impetuous youngster Of fourteen
until he stood beside Martha Gusts,
a proud bridegroom at twenty-seven,
the young Eirginian was continually
falling in or falling ont of love.
He was barely in his teens when he
set about penning verses. Poetry,
however, was apparently the wrong
route to the heart of Mary Bland. of
Westmoreland, who proudly reserved
her smiles, but whom Washington re-
ferred to for years as his "Lowland
Beauty"
But conStancy was not virtue IN
the eyes OF the fourteen-year-old
Washington.
In less than year he had been in
love with two others-Miss Lucy
Grymes and q nameless miss whom
he addressed as Dear Sally"
The heroine Of the next engrossing
affair was Miss Mary Cary, a con-
nection of the FairfaXes. Though at
first Miss Cary reminded him TOO
painfully of the, "LoWland Beauty
who had rejected him, and made him
long, as lie said. TO bury that chaste
and troublesome passion in oblivion
yet he finally succumbed to the new
attraction and the affair with Miss
Cary continued for several years.
Gallant youth though he was
Washington did not always find favor
with the maidens Of whose charms he
was so promptly susceptible.
There was, for instance, Miss
Betsy Fauntleroy, Of Richmond, with
whom, in 1852. Washington fell ard.
emily in love, but whom he in vain
besought to revoke her former cruel
sentence"
But all this was the mere appren-
ticeship at love-a preliminary school
ing in the world of women. The lively
Sallies and Betsies who coquetted
with Washington at fourteen left no
permanent scar. Susceptible as he
was, he never yielded the whole of his
generous heart until one February day

Nobody wondered, for the fact was
perfectly evident that Washington
loved Mary Phillipse-the notebook
ing girl, with her exquisite round con-
tours, brilliant color, and the fire of
an untamed spirit burning in her eyes.
What did seem strange was the calm
impartiality with which. the spoiled
beauty classed Washington with a
score of other admirers.
For he was the very picture, at this
time, of the gallant that maidens love,
with his pale, aqualine face and mill
tary figure set off by uniform of
buff and blue, with a white and scar
let cloak over his shoulders and a
sword knot of red and gold. His
horses London-made trappings We're
marvel of magnificence, while be.
side him there usually rode two aides,
dressed in buff and blue. Behind were
the colonels servants, dressed in the
Washington colors of white and scar
let and wearing hats laced with
silver.
A pretty bit Of pageantry and a
brave knight in whose honor it was!
But the unfortunate part of this
pretty story is that it has no ending!
Washington summoned his aides and
servants and rode back South one
day, and if Mary Phillipse ever had
any regrets she was wise enough not
to confde them.
But deeply wounded though he was,
the colonel's heart did not break. In.
stead he kept it sound and inviolate
until he came to surrender it finally

some two years later on to the lady
whom he wooed with such ardent
swiftness-Mrs. Martha Custis.
Mrs. Custis. was a widoW-yoGnS'
charming, we'll connected.
Washington met her at a dlnner'
loved her. and before the evening was
over had told her so.
Was not that a very human sort OF
lover?
And the next time they met they
were betrothed. each having taken the
other completely by storm, each car
ried in the swing of that reckless, i'm
petuous wooing.
And married they were. in January

BARK and Stone al Eond.

In a very unusual season like that
through which the province of Paipu'
tana, India, recently passed, it is not
uncommon for the people to grind the
bark of trees and even. stones to mix
with their scanty supply Of meal or
-four in order to increase the bulk and
thereby stay the pangs of hunger fol
a longer period. A small quantity OF
we'll l-ground bark, or of soft stone
found there, does not seem to be in
furious. If used to excess, however
the diseases incident to starvation be
come apparent.

It happened in little church on the

At a recent service the choir got into

The situation was not relieved when
