idea of a modern navy, thus making II
a national instead of party af1alr.
Had a narrower man become secretary
at that time the development of the
navy might have been set back for
years.
Those who remember Whitney as
secretary will recall his enthusiasm in
the new ships and the models which
used to fill every available space in
the Office at the department which he
occupied.
Whitney occupied the big reception
room at the department which is now
used for exhibition purposes and from
which lead the Offices of the present
secretary and assistant secretary. He
had a high desk at which he used to
stand while at work and where he was
accustomed to receive ordinary callers
with whom he did not care to carry on
g. long conversation. 1t was easier for
him to dismiss a troublesome visitor
in this way than if he had received him
in q room by himself.
Whitney was capable of accomplish
ing a great deal of work in the course
of day. He never seemed to be hur-
ried and he had capacity for turn
ing details over to subordinates, re-
serving for himself only the broader
questions Of general policy. He was
extremely popular with everybody in
the department and he was one of the
most efficient secretaries the navy ever
had.

ReniniScent.

Many articles reminiscent of the pio-
neer days when Fort Smelling was an
outpost of civilization have been dis
covered by the workmen remodeling
the old tower and removing old build
ings preparatory to erecting new
structures.
Among these articles is an old ham,
mer, evidently used in laying the floor
of the tower when that structure was
used as a prison. 1t is the kind form
erly used to hold whiff1etrees on OK
wagons, and has a sharp-pointed han
die to be used for prying purposes.
Other articles found under the floor
were an agate and an arrow head, and
fragments of old military clothing
worn century ago, which crumbled
to the touch. Two old tin lanterns,
such as London watchmen carried in
the old days, were also found, and the
iron doors of the tower prison have
been preserved by Capt. C. M. Seho-
field, constructing quartermaster, as
relics of dead and gone generations.
A brass key, stamped 1880" was also

Moose and Deer.

The deep SHOWS of the present wihsrt
make it one of the hardest for years on
deer and moose. The deer are begin
ming to yard in the north and will
come out of the rigors of the winter
weak and emaciated. The same thing
applies to moose, but, if anything,
they will be even poorer than the deer.
Moose feed on swamp grass, now
buried beneath two feet of snow in
most places, and On poplar sprouts and
twigs. Before they can get at this
food it is necessary for them to paw
away the snow. In the spring they
are often so weak they can walk only
with difficulty, and many will die from
the unusual exposure, just as the range
cattle of the west.
Both deer and moose are falling
frequent prey to bands of timber
wolves. Deer are comparatively an
easy prey, but the hungry timber ban
dts encounter an enemy worthy their
mettle when they assail monarch
bull moose. They are well aware OF
this fact, and when they find one that
is weak from hunger they dog his foot
steps day and night until he falls a
prey to their constancy: In open bat
tie they will kill wolf with single
stroke of their hoofs.
cruiser of the Beltrami Timber
company recently came upon moose
standing in the middle of small
slough, knee deep in the snow. At a
safe and convenient distance around
him was stationed pack of eight
wolves How long the moose had been
surrounded is question. A few shots
from the woodlands Winchester dis
persed the band. The moose was so
weak that it gained the shelter of the
underbrush nearby with difficulty.

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 laborfous. 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 up the re-
mainder of his time, and of leisure ne
had none. The end came December
IA, 1899, through a cold he took from
getting wet in looking over his eS-
tate.

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.

MRS. RANSIER's LETTER.
The Croaker.

Once, by the edge of a pleasant pool,
Under the bank, where twas dark
and cool
Where bushes over the water hung,
And grasses nodded and rushes
swung
Just where the brook flowed out of
the bog
There lived a equity and mean old
Who'd sit all day in the mud, and
And do just nothing but croak and
crOak.
Till a Blackbird whistled: 1T say,
you know,
What is the trouble down there be-
lowe
Are you in sorrow, or pain, or what 2"
The Frog said: mine is a gruesome
lot!
Nothing but mud, and dirt, and slime,
For me to look at the livelong time.
It's a dismal world" so he sadly
spoke,
And voiced his woes in a dismal
croak.
But you're looking down." the
Blackbird said.
Look at the blossoms overhead;
Look at the lively summer skies;
Look at the bees and the butterflies
Look up, old fellow! Why, bless your
soul,
You're looking down in a muskrat's
holew
But still, with his gurgling sob and
choke,
The Frog continued to croak and
crOak.
And a wise old Turtle who boarded
Said to the Blackbird: "Friend, see
here,
Don't shed your tears over him, for
he
Is wretched just cause he likes to be!
He's one of the kind who won't be
glad;
1t makes him happy to think he's sad.
I'll tell you something-and it's no
Don't waste your pity on those who
croak!"
