Letitia Maria Anna Stage, a sister Of
Rev. TheOdOsius Stage, a famous min
lister in the early days of Virginia, and
who was at that very time rector OF a
church in St Georges parish, a few
miles from Fredericksburg.
On first coming to Virginia Rev.
James MaTye became the minister Of
a settlement Of HugUenOts at Mana

(nOw POwhatan county,, on the James
river, above Richmond, and so excel

people OF Fredericksburg desired him
for a rector. Accordingly. in 1875, as
shown by the early vestry book, the
church wardens asked leave Of. Gov.
GoOch, as was the colonial custom, to
call Rev. James Marye to their pull

in October Of the same year he as

But Mr.. Lodge is in error. MOncuTe
D. Conway has recently brought to
light the true history Of the Rules of
Civility-' Mr. Conway, after an in
vestigatiOn extending through years,
with the aid Of DR.. GaTnett, of the
British museum, found in that great
institution a volume containing these
self-ssme rules, written in French.
One edition Of this volume was print
ed in ROuen, and was among the text
books studied by young James Marye
when attending the Jesuit college Of
that city. This proves conclusiveIy
that it was be who translated these
rules to his pupils in Fredericksburg,
since he was the only man there who
understood the French tongue, his IA
tive speech.
With these revelations it would
seem that the dispute Of historians
and biOgraphers over the history of

+ WASHINGTON IN YOUTH |

In the year 1929 Rev James Aarye,
a HugUenot refugee, and his bride
landed on Virginia soil This man
was destined to MI a position OF great
trust and importance He was to be
the spiritual guide and adviser Of
Mary, the mother Of Washington, and
her family After years Of research il
has lately been proved that it was he
that gave to the young George those
famous Rules OF CiviIity and Decent
Behavior in Company and Converse
ton, which bore fruit IN the prOduc-
ton Of that most cOnsummate flower
OF American manhood, George Wash
ington. That these rules played a
most important part in the formation
OF Washington character has been
acknowledged by all Of his biOgraph-
ers; in fact. the wisest and nOblest OF
these rules are familiar in nearly
every home in the country. but whence
they came; whether they were the
product Of WashiDgtOn's own brain.
or whether they came from some out
side and unknown source, and what
this source was. has been for over a
century a matter Of dispute and con-
lecture.
This learned clergyman, Rev James
Marye, belonged 10 a prominent Cath
Ole family OF ROuen, France, and was
educated for the priesthood in the Jes-
uit college OF that city. In 1926 he

first Rev. James Marye serving Tor
thirty-f0ur years. and being followed
BY his son, Rev. James Marye. Jr..
who ministered until his death. in
1880. As was the custom Of clergy
man in those days. the first Rev.
James Marye conducted an academy
in connection with his church It was
this academy that Washington attend
ed.
Except the tutors in families, the
educational advantages in Virginia in
1745 were extremely limited II was
the custom Of the wealthier families
to send their sons to England to finish
their studies at some Of the great uni
versities- Washinston's two elder
brothers received this advantage, but
the death OF his father made q change
in the family affairs a large property
was left TO them, but there was little
ready money and there were several
children 10 educate and provide for.
Hence the education OF Washington, 70
his lifelong regret, was limited. 1t
was under the care Of this HuguenOt
that our great statesman received his
most valued instruction.

Absolutely none. For 4 year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result I aud my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds Of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there Is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry

uraIly attracted n great deal Of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George BalfOur, after hearing Of the
saIutarv results III Mr.. SchrOeppel' s case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack OF rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment.'
It is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor IN the conf
I1unity where Mr.. SchrOeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and fayOrably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful Ia curing
