Washington's Little Hatchet,

oS'V9sOH IttIjo 7aICneG.
From the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
A little Ratchet of peculiar form was
found the other day in an old house in
Fredericksburg, Va, which, during and
after the Revolution, was the home Of
Mary Washington, mother of George
Washington.
This is most interesting and valu-
able discovery. No wonder that the
news of it has already been flashed
over the country by the press wires,
For here is, past the possibility of a
doubt in any properly constructed
mind, the Identical little Ratchet"
round which centers probably the best
known episode in the whole career of
the father Of his country. It is also a
conclusive answer to those who cast
aspersoins upon the veracity of the
little hatchett' story. For hereafter
they can be silenced with IF you don't
believe it there's the hatchet.''
OF course there are persons who will
even doubt the authenticity of the
relic. They will not go so far as to
contend that 1t isn't Ratchet but they
will attempt to prove that probably
touched it at any period of his life
They will dwell on the fact that Wash
ington was a grown man before his
mother occupied, or even owned, this
house. They will insist that it's loca-
ton, when it was discovered. under a
floor and upon the ceiling lat11es Of
the rom below, indicates that it was
mislaid and forgotten by a workman
enaged in building the old house.
They will prove toyou that no small
boy, however remarkable, could ever
have cut down a cherry tree with such
a Ratchet. But away with all such OBJ
jections. If those to whom such argu-
n1erlts appeal coud lhave their way.
thew world have no traditional and
legendary relics to reverence. Be-
sides, what more natural than that the
proud and president mother, knowing
how famous the cherry tree episode
must one day become, should have
carefully preserved the Ratchet, have
brought 1t to her new home, and have
reverently laid it away for the benefit
of future generations in a secure hid
ing place-taking up floor board for
that purpose?
Let the little hatchet' be accepted
and cherished as a genuine relic. 1t
is every whit as authentic as the story
of which it is the remainder; every
whit as authentic as the sword of hon.
or sent by Frederick the Great to
Washington; every whit as authentic
,as most of the legends and traditions,
and the extant relics thereof, that
serve to illuminate history and make
it worth reading.

ANTHONY HOPE ON HIS ART.

From the PhlladelDhla Press:
There appeared in last Sundays Press
an interview with Mr.. Anthony Hope
Ha wilkins, a large part Of which was
naturally devoted to the future and the
ethics of the fiction writer's task. and
a great deal of which-comfng from
one who has made several financial and
at least two notable artistic successes
merits more or less serious considera-
ton. o fcourse, being what he is, it
went without saying that Mr.. Hawkins
would defend the story Of ''the brave
DAYS of old'' and that he would see
small possibility in what he passes over
as present day marvels in electricity
and trade That, coming from Mr..
Hawkins, we may pass over in our
turn But when this author turns to
the question of what constitutes a Sue
cessful novel; he speaks rightly as one
having authority and touches-perhaps
unconsciously-upon the handspring of
true success Of every sort in fiction.
Among the factors Of a successful
novel, assuredly 1.-THE story we'll told"
he says. comes first. 1t is the primi-
tive essential. From that there has
been no swerving. no less in the sue
cessful novel Of today than in the past.
From the point of view Of winning en-
during popularity. the writer must
again depend upon his ability to spin a
good yarn
The facts prove the correctness Of
Mr.. Hawkins declaration. A passing
interest, fad, a fashion, an injustice in
Armenia or a divorce in New York
any one of a thousand trivial themes
may serve as the line wherein to hang
a story and avail to draw the result
through many an edition, but unless
that story has the necessary virtue
upon which Mr.. Hawkins so justly in
sists, Time will have none OF it, and,
for the future, it will exist, if at all, as
that saddest of freaks, literary. cur
iosity. On the other hand, the truly
great novel should, of course, faithfully
hold the mirror to chosen period ac-
curately> observed and should be con-
ceived and presented with force and

certainly the last two-of these re-
