AS A PLANTER.
How Washington Managed His Plan
tntion md Marketed His
Crop of Tobacco.

AS Virginia planter Washington S
chief crop was tobacco. This tobacco
was shipped to the London market
under his own name, loaded upon YES
sells which sailed up the Potomac to
Mount Vernon, or other landings
convenient to it. An agent in Lon
don disposed of the shipments.
Twice a year Washington would
forward lists of needful articles for
farm and household to this agent, re-
questing that the things be purchased
and shipped to Mount Vernon. Wear
ing apparel in this way was ordered
for every member of his family, the
names and measurements of each per-
son being given.
In addition to the general bill for
these purchases made by the agent,
the latter was required to forward re-
ceipted bills from those persons of
whom he bought goods. In this way
a check was kept upon the purchases
made. In those days as a planter
Washington was his own bookkeeper,
and the care with which his books
were kept is an example of the Thor
oughness that made the man.

Gratitude Well Expressed.

Sault St., Marie, Mich, Feb. Sth.-Mr.
G. L. Smith, painter and decorator, whose
home is at 300 Anne street, this city,
makes the following statement:
Il was laid up with some kind of pains.
Some said it was Lumbago, others Scistica,
and others again Rheumatism. few OF
my friends suggested that it was lead
poison, but whatever it was it gave me a
great deal of pain, in fact, almost COM
pletely crippled me. / had to use two
canes to walk about and even then 1T was
a very painful task.
"A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and | began the treatment; After
/ had used the first box | was able to
throw away one of the canes and was con-
siderably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up so that | could go
about free from pain without any assist
ance and very soon after | was complete
Iy cured, well and happy, with ut pain
or an ache. Dodd's Kidney ills seemed
to 90 right to the spot in my case and
they will always have my greatest praise

HIS CLOSING YEARS.
The Venerable Washington Was Not
Permitted to Live Them in
Peace and Quiet.

While Washington was permitted to
spend his remaining days at Mount
Vernon, he did not succeed in finding
the peace and leisure that he had
longed for. His house was filled with
guests, and his correspondence was
large and laborious. In one of the
Kaleidoscope changes in the govern
ment of France the United States was
on the verge of war with that people,
and Washington was made command
er-in-chief of the forces which were
tC be raised. He accepted under pro-
test, with the condition that he should
not be called in active service unless
the country was invaded The cloud
passed over, however without war.
During his closing years he took great
interest in projects for opening up
commerce with the country being set
tied west of the Alleghenies, and made
a donation which led to the establish
ment of Washington college, now
Washington and Lee university. He
took much interest in the Society of
the Cincinnati, comprising commits
stoned officers of the revolution. The
care of his estates took uD the re-
mainder of his time, and of leisure ne
had none. The end came December
IA, 1893, through a cold he took from
getting wet in looking over his es-
tate

wnshinston's Care for Relatives,

Mary Washington, mother of George,
lived until she was SO years old and
died only ten years before her son.
She is chiefly remembered from her
proud title of Mother of Washing
ton" Her influence upon the devel-
opment of his character in youth and
early manhood seems to have been
slight, for he was not at home much
after he was IA years old. He never
claimed his share of his fathers es-
tate, which was in her possession, and
he gave her direct support during
much of her life. Washington was
hurt deeply by proposition made in
the Virginia assembly to give his
mother pension, and at his earnest
request the proceedings were stopped.
He was devotedly attached to his
stepchildren, and treated them with
the greatest kindness. He carefully
educated his nephews, and one, Bush
rod Washington, achieved prominence
as lawyer during the administrations
of Adams and Jefferson.

The heights are still in the MINDLESS air.
And the meadows ali aglow
With aster-blooms and goldenrods
While the river winds below.
A quiet haze DER the valley broods,
And the leaning hills enfoId
The guarded gates of the storied camp,
AS there in the days of old.
Peace reigns to-day where the campfires
burned
And the winter smoke upcurled
While the loyal sors of freedom held
The fate of the vast New World.
The woodpecker beats his sharp tattoo.
The jay with a scream upsprngs,
And far in his note of quick alarm
The sentiners challenge rings!
In shadows that drift across the hills,
Or trail in the tangled grass,
The ghostiy files of an army march
To-day. as the shadows pass.
Along the lines of the old redoubt,
BY valley and meadows wide,
Where the winter fires TO ashes turned,
The shadowy legions glide.
Their footprints blush with a crimson stain,
They reel through hunger and cold,
While faces pale with fever and pain
Glow yet with a hope untold.
Grave hearts and true of. the olden time
Dim Ehades of the long ago,
Who kept the vigil of Freedom well
AT Va.lsy Forge in the snow.

PILL TRADE MARK INITIATED.
Druggist and Clerk Are Held in Boil
for Court

Charged with infringing upon the trade
mark of Carter's Little Liver Pill Com
pany, Joseph I. Griffith, druggist at the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine
streets, was held in $500 bail for Court
this afternoon by Magistrate Jermon, and
at the same time Griffiths clerk, Joseph
c. Fore was held in $500 bail for Court on
the same charge, and also for selling GER
tain articles the sale OF which is prohibited
by law.
The men were arrested this morning
upon warrants issued by Magistrate Jer-
mon at the instance of Brent Good, No.
130 West Fifty-seventh Street, New York,
and Charles &. Orcutt, No. y Jumel Ter
race New York, representatives of the
Carter Company. They stated that the
latter had spent S3,0O00O0 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit others TO reap the bene-
fits.
The label in question is small one con-
tanning a large letter l., and the one used
by Griffith is an exact copy, except that it
does not contain Carter's name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could be palmed off on
the would-be purchaser of Carter's pills,
owing to the similarity of the labels, and
held that it was evidence of a deliberate
attempt to deceive.-Philadt!ph Tele-
