THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON.
An Appeal for Improvement of Sur
rOundings at Mt. Vernon

An Appeal for Improvement of Sur
roundings at Mt. Vernon.
Upon the recent visit to the home
Of our country's father, the visitor
was impressed with the seeming in
difference Of the nation as regards
the enshrinement of the remains of
such an illustrious and beloved hero.
It is a disgrace to a nation such as
ours to have allowed this structure
to be built in the first place, and Sec
ondly to let the tomb remain as 1t is.
Our country is rich in traditions and
sentiment and financially it is able to,
and of right it should, own and pro.
tect the grounds so frequently visited
by children Of our much loved coun-
try. The society which has Mount
Vernon in keeping must needs charge
an admission from visitors to the es-
tate. This is necessary for the main
tenance Of the buildings and grounds.
1t is not that objection is made to
the small admission fee Of % cents
for each person who enters the gate
way, but it does seem fitting that our
nation should own and care for one
of its most sacred spots, historically.
A more beautiful location can
scarcely be imagined than that of the
home Of Washington. Situated upon
an eminence overlooking the wide,
calm waters Of the Potomac stands
the quaint, old-fashioned house and
the beautiful trees which for so many
years have guarded the memories long
buried with the dust of the owners.
George and Martha Washington are
laid at lest side by side in a horrible
cellar Of vault. No one curve or
graceful turn has been put into the
structure which incloses these re-
mains. Instead, just the plainest sort
of brick has been used in the erection,
and the visitor is not only grieved,
but disguised, at the sight in allow
ing SO common tomb for the father
Of our nation. There cannot be given
as an excuse that the structure is az
it was originally, for it has been re-
built and removed from the former
site, some rods distant.
True, we have the Washington Mon
ument in his commemoration, and we
can be unpoetical enough to say that
there IS no virtue in erecting grand
shrines for mems bones, but those
who have some sentiment feel keenly
the appropriateness Of the crude
tomb at Mount Vernon. Grants tomb
at Morningside, New York, stands a
happy contrast to show what can be
done to honor the memory Of our
great men, even in their death.
Speed the day when our government
realizes and claims it's right to own
and to care for, as becomes our gen.
Grafton, the resting place of our ma

JACK HAYS RIVAL

~-e"Brace was persistent In his impor-
tunities for me to marry him, but
had heard so much Of his wild doings
in the village barrooms that I knew
him to be dissolute If not an actually
wicked man. 1t was only his fathers
money and influence that enabled him
to keep his place at all In the circle Of
the better citizens at Martins. The
day you and were married he came
to my side and said, only loud enough
for my hearing:
$50 you've Tilted me out and out,
have you, Hester? All right. You'll
wish you hadn't before a year goes
roundv
II did not tell you about 1t, then,
Jack, because l thought 1t might make
trouble on that happy day. And I had
almost forgotten about it after all
these months. But a year has now
nearly gone by, and"
"Well?" as she hesitated.
IT saw Brace Denver to-day. He
was here, In front of the house, leaning
against the railing, pretending to be
looking at the flowers. When he saw
that I had noticed him an expression
that was like horrible grin passed
over his face. Then he strobe away.
I feel, Jack, that he meditates some
harm to us"
"Oh, pshaw! Don't worry about him
at all, Hessy. There, now; let me fin
ish my dinner and get back to the
office. If Brace Denver comes prowl-
ing around ask him to wait until
can have talk with him. II l sus-
pect that he means mischief I guess
can deal with him."
Immediately upon Jacks departure
Hester went up the stairs to their bed

She drew forth small, glittering re-
volver from a drawer.

FALCONRY IN VOGUE AGAIN.
Revival of the Ancient Sport Taking
Place in European Countries.

Revival of the Ancient Sport Taking
Place In European Countries.
"Most people have fallen into the
common error Of thinking Of falconry
only in connection with musty old
stories Of gallant knights and gay
ladies of years ago." said sportsman
recently. "Well, now, falconry isn't
so dead as it might be. TO be sure,
we don't hear much Of it over here in
America, but it is regaining its old
time prestige in European countries.
You would be surprised at the extent
it is now being followed by the nobility
Of England.
"Until a short time ago goshawking
was the nearest approach to the old
time sport, but now the real falcons
are crowding out the goshawk.
"Never saw a hunt with falcons!
Well, sir, you have missed half your
life. You get out in the morning with
a good live bird, a full-blooded falcon,
and if you don't have all the sport you
want for one day, then you are no
sportsman. Easy, you say! Well, per-
haps it is, but not until you have had
years of experience at it. You have
your hound start a big bird, say
pheasant, and in the excitement that
follows try to urge your horse on with
one hand, pull your birds hoodstring
with your teeth and driving hand, and
toss your bird aloft. Oh, it looks easy,
but try it, and if you don't go into a

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
MiserieN of Indigestion.

Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
AIiseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
ssys. ~ was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result Of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living, A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain O
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold By druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and
little book, ''What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
DR.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure of constipation.

Plea for the Silk Hat.

A plea for the silk hat is made by
the London Tailor and Cutter. Why
is it that the silk hat, it asks, is not
worn more generally. 1t Is surely
not because it is an expensive lux
ury, for silk hat will easily out
wear two felts, especially as the
shapes in silks vary only slightly

cared for and regularly ironed will

that places the hall mark on a we'll

According to story told by Henry

people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with an
other, and to assume among the pow
ers of the earth, the separate and

We hold these truths to be self-ev-

that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienablc rights; that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. That, to secure
these rights, governments are insti-
