Ted Burritt stood bareheaded be-

denly there was coLimotion among
the crowd at little distance and he
heard a sharp cry. Then the crowd
opened, as though to make way for
some one, and he saw q young man

recognized as the widow, whose hope

Ted had no difficulty in finding out

him by an elderly woman servant
who, as Ted thought. seemed to re

enter. From an inner room voice

Simple Exclamation.

An old man wandered into one of
the hospitals of an Eastern city. His
eyesight was rather bad, and he had
come in the hope of securing relief.
He was turned oyer to young doc
tor, who adjusted large frame in
front of the patients eyes and placed
in it couple of strong magnifying
glasses. He then held a printed card
some distance away.
Can you read that?" he asked.
mo. sir" replied the old man.
The doctor then put in stronger
glasses and brought the card nearer.
WELL" he inquired, can you read
Il now?"
The old fellow shook his head, say
ing, mo. not a word"
After repeating this performance
several times the doctor was about to
turn him over In despair to his more
experienced superior, when the old
man quietly explained:
you see, doctor, l never learned to
read"
The Elbert County tribune., 1904-02-18

teresting to see, as we have already
seen. how humbly and how simply he
writes of his defects. He says. Il
have no genius for war" He finds it
hard to learn this business-warfare-
and at the same time to practice it.
He excuses Sullivan's defeat. "All of
us" he says, want experience in NOV
ing men upon large scale; our
knowledge of military matters is linn
ited."
AS a critic of war he was the first
to insist again and again that the COM
mand of the sea was all-important.
What the British fleet will do puzzles
him, but not the plans of his adver-
saries on land. He predicts Bur-
goyne's disaster. and tells Greene that
such defeats as his are victories.
We have been told that he was no
great general. IF, with half-fed, ILL
clad men, with constant lack of arms
and powder, and at last with inertia
everywhere and a country in ruins; If,
with such means he baffied foe rich
in men, money and sea power; If with
little he accomplished all he set out
to do, there must at least be label
for this form of greatness.
Turning from his fiery courage and
reckless exposure in war, there are
in these letters many evidences of ten
derness and humanity. They are
shown early in life. when he says that
he would readily die in torture to
save the frontier people from Indian
cruelty. They appear in his extreme
unwillingness to make reprisals on
innocent men. He steadily refused, as
he says, ito avenge cruelty by cruel
ty." He reproaches a general for such
conduct, and pleads mercy for the
Tories while Sir Henry Clinton is car
rying on a savage warfare of murder
and rapine.
This man had no children. He was
the ancestor of a nation. Let no repe-
tition of his praise lose for you the
| true value of the man. He left to us
the heirs of his renown. a record of
unfailing courage, a story of heroic
conduct, an example of lifelong duty

The Character Of washington.

Notwithstanding his reserve, or
the "shyness" upon which his biogra-
piers descant, Washington knew men
and how to rule them. He may have
lacked elements of companionship,
but he knew how to control the undis-
cipllned patriotism of the country
and mold to his will the rather un-
promising material of which the patri-
OF army was composed. There were pet
ty jealousies to allay in the army and
in Congress, and thousand discour-
agements to surmount Through It
ali he followed calmly his guiding star
of hope. The earlier eulogists defied
him; the colder and more philosophi-
cal analysts who succeeded them
found human traits in him. Mr.. Hale
says he was man of hot passions, of
strong impulses. of vigorous deter
mination; "a man who forecast the
future, kept 1t in sight, and meant to
have his own way; and he was a
man who had his own way very re-
markably."
All this is very delightful to know.
1t brings Washington into kinship
with humanity. This is a hero who
may be understood. in part. at least,

Long before the service was over
there were sounds OF lamentation and
wailing from many of those present,
and several were compelled to quit the
church from the violence of their emo
tion.
At last It was over and the numer-
Gus and variously compounded congre-
cation broke up.
After partaking OF a frugal meal,
Ted sat down to await the arrival of
Dr. Cartwright. He hoped that moth
Ing unforeseen would occur to cause
him to put on his visit, for he was
beginning to rely good deal upon
the energetic little man, who had
shown himself at once shrewd and
kindly in his dealings with him. He
could scarcely believe he had met

-"Hullol" was his greeting, there
