But johnnie though ragged was clever and

But hark he hears music away down the
He knows there are soldiers, he hears the
drum beat?
And Johnnie remembers whose birthday it
Is,
And n sudden resolve lights his pale little

Only Just a few moments of mute hesita-

Then. feeling as grand as the Head of the

In walked little Johnnie straight up to the
squire.
And while he was speaking his courage
rose higher.
And presently, when he was back in the
street,
Speeding after the soldiers with fast eager
feet,
"Hurrah !" he cried gaily, ''for Washington

Father smiled, thought a moment, and
then began
'Ill tell you how your great-grand-
father got his name. Once upon a time
there was a selfish old King whose name
was William, and this King spent a
great deal of money in building fine pal
aces and giving elegant dinners and such
things as that. Well, of course, the
didn't it? And it seems to me that you,
being the son of a banker, ought to know
how, the old King got it."

His father gave him an approving
hug. Yes; that is the way he got it,
only the shewd old King didn't do it in
the usual way. 1t happened that the
King of England at that time was in a
peck of trouble, having enemies on all
sides Of him to watch and fight, and also

ascendency here has been obtained in
the last two decades. Since 1890 the

States has expanded ITO per cent and
that of New York City 200 per cent.
OF the 81, 500, 100000 of the weekly
average of the bank clearings of the
ninety-three cities which make reports
New York contributes two-thirds. New
York City's bank clearings average %

And the greater part of this stupen-
dous banking growth in New York

their various ~employments are still
actively at work.
Contemplating the vast expansion
which has given the United States a.

Charles Wilson Peale's portrait Of
Washington, which has been put upon
exhibition in New York, is said to he
the last portrait for which the great gen
eral sat. Peale painted it from sittings
given him by Washington in the Middle
ton mansion, on Poole's Island, in Mary
land. 1t was given by the father OF
his country to Sarah Middleton at the
time of her wedding to DIR. Murphy In
1881. Miss Middleton was given away
by George Washington and the Middle
ton family have long guarded the picture
religiously until very recently. when per-
mission was given to publicly xhibit it.
The reproduction herewith presented is
from a photograph taken by lockwood,
in whose gallery the treasure hangs. The
Middletons were one of the great families
of the South. They were cavaliers of
Twickenham, who came to America In
1910. In colonial times they were prom
inent in governmental matters, but in
modern times few members of the family
nave attained to eminence in statesman
ship or sOldiery.

burdened with numerous parcels and

caused him most annoyance was the
Christmas turkey, which, stuffed head
downward in a large paper bag, had
penetrated the bottom of its dampened
envelope and seemed all legs and neck,
and simply would not adjust itself to
the other bundles. Finally it burst
through the bag and dropped to the

".Done. cried the King of England,
and Immediately ordered his treasurer to
send the money over to King William.
$50 now King William had to find his
10000 men. Well, that was no easy
thing to do, for his kingdom was very
tiny, and there weren't more than $4,000
a~ble-bodied men in the whole kingdom.
.But he sent out recruiting sergeants
and told them to get 10000 together by
hook or crook, fair means or foul, and
ship them over to the King Of England.

Just then his horse whinnied, and

and Virginia, and my Virginia lass. Now,
if / could only see the great Washington
and find an honorable way to become an
American
Already there was talk of CORVALLIS
at Yorktown. Then came a rumor that
Washington had slipped away from New
York and was making straight for York
town..
"tWaldemarv! cried Morgan, our great
General is going to get your CORVALLIS
sandwiched so neatly 'twixt the Chesa-
peake and his own soldiers that he'll
gobble him up at one bite. And, what's
more, I'm going to let you see him do
it,
$50 that's the way WaIdemar came to
| witness the surrender Of CORVALLIS. And
there at Yorktown he first saw George
Washington, who was very kind to him
and suggested a very clever way for him
to become an American.
liking George has promised to pay
your German King a certain sum Of
money for every German soldier who has
been killed over here said Washington.
Well, as soon as you have been e~xchang-
ed, I suggest that o pay for yourself
as if goa had been killed. That will do,
/ think
$50 just as soon as he had been ex-
changed Waldemar left the proper amount
of money in his colonel.s tent, with a
note, saying:
81 love an American girl and wish to
stay in this country. Report me killed.
Use this money to pay for me. Auf
wiedersehen.'
Then he lost no time in getting back
to Virginia and marrying Elizabeth Map

Henry. And after a while two pieces OF
good fortune happened to him. From his
father, the Graf, away over in Germany,
came his part Of the family fortune in
money, and from his dear Virginia wife
came the present of a little son.
And not SO very long after that Gen.
Washington and his wife came over from
