WASHINGTON IN HARD LUCK.
Father of His Country Frequently
Pressed for Ready Money.

A recent publication of the let
tiers of George Washington to his
private secretary, Tobias Lear in
dicates that Philadelphia is about
the same now as in the days of the
flrst president. Washington ac-
cepted $4,000 year as president
on the assumption that it would just
about pay his expenses in maintain
ing the dignity of the nation. He
seems to have supposed that he
could get along like any private citi-
zen.
He was soon undeceived. In the
letters mentioned the president
pours out the agony of his soul be-
cause of his position. He says that
he cannot live as we'll as the ordin-
AIRY citizen on $4,000 or $4,000 a
year nor entertain so much or so
those private gentlemen.
Everyone cheated him. He paid
exorbitant rent. It cost him enor-
mously for furniture, provisions.

country was hard up most of the
time. His servants. stewards and
officious friends were extravagant to
a degree. He had to hire double the
requisite number of servants, whom
he declared to be the most expensive
and incompetent ever known. His
slaves tried to leave him, and he de-
sired to hire short, squat Dutch
servants at every vacancy, but was
anxious to make close bargain with
them.
His plantation at Mount Vernon
did not pay expenses because he was
continually robbed. If he sold grain
or tobacco. he got the lowest price,
and sometimes ne never got the
money promised. His tenants re-
fused to pay rent on farms, both in
Virginia and Pennsylvania, his
houses in Alexandria went to rack.
His lands in the west were unsal-
able at any price. Moreover, al
friends and many strangers were
constantly desiring to borrow money
at times when he was behind in his
bills -Philadelphia Inquirer.

That the free clinic il apprecfated

That the free clinic Is appreciated
mostly by those who know best is
demonstrated by the increasing at
tendance from year to year, and the
fact that there is hardly town or
village in this whole section of the
country which has not at some time
had occasion to forward, diseased
animals here for treatment. The
splendid opportunity thus presented
to students may be illustrated by the
fact that approximately 1000 horses
and scores of dogs are brought here
annually for practically every dis
ease known to the veterinary pro-
fession.
Another important phase of the
work Is the training offered for
men who wish to go into the govern
ment service. Since the passage of
the new meat inspection law the de-
mand for men in the U. S. bureau of
animal industries has much in
creased. The training offered by
the veterinary department is particu-
larly adapted to fit men Tor this
branch of the civil service.
