Reuben at an earlier hour.
No one had been throwing another out
of the window, whined forth Mrs. East
bell, no one had been melting lead or
anything. They had had little wrangle
as it got late, and just as their cousin
was going home, and the flower pots
somehow gave away and fell into the
court, which frightened the gal Mt the
window, who began to scream. The TO-
liceman who had first spoken listened to
this explanation with a stolid stare upon
his countenance; the second Official be-

"Good-by, then"
Reuben went out of the room, and the
policemen followed him downstairs and
into the court.
He somewhat ungratefully left the tri-
umvirate who had arrived in good time
to his rescue. But he could not explain,
and it seemed the better policy to be 81
lent for Second-cousin Sarah's sake. She
wished it-and it was she who had saved
him from danger. He had to think again
of the way to save her, now that he had
become more than ever resolved to get
her away from Potter's Court.

The fame of Washington is SO i'm
mense and the popular conception Of his
character so exalted, that some skeptical
and faut-finding critics are disposed to
question the universal estimate, and es-
pecially in the matter of his ability as a
soldier and military commander. How
ever much we may wish it otherwise,
there Is in human nature a mean spirit
Of envy and detraction which instructive
ly feels the honors bestowed upon a great
man to be an indirect reflection and re-
buke to its own littleness and baseness.
This spirit cropped out conspicuously in
the case of Columbus, in the efforts to
belittle his great exploit and to blacken
his character. / do not say that criti-
cisms upon Washington's generalship all
proceed from base motives. but they
doubtless do mostly come from the spirit
and innate tendency which | have indi-
Gated. This unworthy spirit is as old as
history, as old as humanity. 1t showed
itself in a memorable fashion when the
old Athenians wrote their sentence of
banishment against Aristides because
they were tired of hearing him called
''the just"
Great soldiers are to be judged not
alone by success, by battles fought and
victories won-though this, of course, is
the great popular test-but by oil the cir
cumstances and difficulties in which they

and government between one nation and
another. 1t was a rebellion, and there
was really no central authority, no arms
or warlike stores no navy, no treasury
or financial system or responsibility. 1t
was only a brave anod patriotic people,
small in numbers, without discipline or
military experience, without arms and
without money, rushing thus bare-handed
into q conflict with the mother country
their own government; a powerful nation,
which had recently been raised by the
genius of the elder Pitt to the front rank
among the great warlike nations of the
world-a nation whose military posts and
possessions already dotted the globe,
whose victorious navies covered every
ocean and sea, whose morning drum beat,
as Webster said, was heard round the
world. 1t was against such a power as
this that this handful Of patriots had
thrown down the gage of rebellion and
defiance.
Washington is known in history as a
providential man; that is, man raised
up by Providence to FIJI a great place
and perform a great mission. However
this may be, he certainly had great parts
and great and peculiar fitness for the
most difficult and trying place which he
filed in history. He had had expert.
ence in the previous Indian and French
wars, and had proven himself a wise,
competent and heroic officer. He had
great personal advantages for command.
He was of fine physique and imposing
presence, a splendid horS ,man, carrying
with him ever the port and air of au-
thority and native majesty-an ideal
commander.
So when this noble Virginian appeared
before that northern army and drew his
sword as their commander under those
Cambridge elms his fame had preceded
him and he was received with shouts of
welcome and of confidence. Then all
men knew it was to be a struggle to the
death.
Hardly a better instance does history
afford OF patience under provocation, Of
dogged determination under difficulties. OF
unconquerahle will and courage, holding
on so long and coming out triumphant at
last over such mighty opposition. These
great qualities, as we have already seen,
belonged to the man more than to. the
soldier. 1t was indeed the great man
behind the soldier, the man with the
great patriotic heart, with the wise head,
and the lofty, unshaken soul, that
brought us through that long and tremen-
dous struggle and gave us our glorious
place and opportunity among the nations.
No other man on this continent but he
could have done it. Greene. among the
generals of the revolution, would have
come nearest to it. but he would have
failed.
But in looking over the whole field and
record, in the light of all the facts and
history, it will be seen that Washington
made no military mistakes, that he i'm
proved all his opportunities, that his
generalship will stand the test of criti
cism. He struck whenever he had the
chance, his plans were good, and when
compelled, his retreats were mastery.

FOOTBALL VERSUS PuGILIsM.

Statistics sho W Gridiron Is More Dead
ly Than the Prize Ring.
Which is the more destructive to life
and limb-foot-bal or pugilism? Sta
tistlcs gathered by the New York
World show 124 deaths from prize
fighting since Tom Falkner was knock
ed out ID England in 1853, the list end
ing with five in this country during
the past year. In 1902 the prize ring
had I victims; in 1901 the number was
s, and it was 10 in 1900. For some Of
these deaths men have gone to prison,
but the great majority of the men who
gave the death blow were not even
arrested. The figures show conclusive
ly that the sport of the prize ring is
brutal and deserves repression. 1t Is
happily not popular sport In this
country, thanks to unfriendly laws,
and does not attract the unfavorable
attention that is given to football. The
latter sport seems, however, even more
Objectionable, If account be taken of

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 81
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November, and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and was
very yellow even the whites Of her eyes
would be yellow.
Inc doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith for by SO doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy happy
future for them.
