some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
Others strong.

same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.

Cholmondeley was born only two
years earlier than her brother Tom.
When Tom was 10 years old, Clara
Cholmondeley glOried in the fact
that she was IL; when Tom was 10,
she candidly confessed TO sweet IL;
when Tom proudly boosted of IS;
she timidly acknowledged herself

college with mustache, and had a
party In honor of his twenty-first
birthday, she said TO her friends:
"What boyish fellow he is! Who
would think that he was barely q
year younger than II"
When Tom declared he was %, and
old enough to get married, she said
to an intimate friend:

jealous TO think of Tom getting mar
ried. But then, | suppose, twins
are always more attached to each
other than brothers and sisters.
And two years later, at Tom s
wedding, she said. with girlish vi

Saint MARI $ Beacon.
An Early Tragedy OF tine Civil
War.

Mrs. Libby Padgett, who made
the Confederate flag which waved
over the Marshall House here in
1861, causing the death Of Col. ELS
worth and James Jackson, the pro-
prietor, died at her home in Alex
andria recently. She was q years
cid.
The death of Mrs. Padgett recalls
one Of the first tragedies OF the war
between the States. A New York
regiment, including the Ellsworth
Zouaves, had just reached Alexan-
dria on their way TO the front when
the flag incident and the deaths Of
both Ellsworth and jackson occur
red. The scene Of the tragedy was
the Marshall House, hotel at the
corner OF King and Pitt streets,
kept by Jackson. He was an ar
dent secessionist and Confederate,
and promptly upon the secession OF
Virginia hoisted upon the top of the
Marshall House the Stars and Bars
Of the young COnfederacy. IL is
said that in his ardor he registered
q solemn vow that he would protect
that flag with his life, and would
kill any man that attempted to haul
it down.
Early in the movement of troops
southwark Ellsworth and his New
York Zouaves entered Alexandria
about daylight one morning in April
1861. Seeing the Confederate flag
floating defiantly from the summit OF
the Marshall House, Ellsworth, fired
with martial zeal, determined that
ID should come down from the cupO-
la. He quietly informed his men
that he was going to haul it down,
and, accompanied by a sergeant, he
assembled to the cupola and tore down
tile flag, wrapping it around him.
Jackson aud bis family were asleep
at the time but as the Zouaves de-
seconded the noise awakened Mrs.
Jackson, who hurriedly aroused her
husband. Seeing Ellsworth descend
ing with the flag, Jackson immedi-
ately carried out his VOW and shot
Ellworth dead. The sergeant who
was with the officer thereupon shot
Jackson. The tragedy created great
excitement, and the. city was imme-
diately placed under martial law.
This was, perhaps, the first officer
killed in the war Alexandria Cor
