TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
George Washington.
In all things a
just and noble
man.
T~ HE success of George Washing
BY y. II. EDGE TON.

~Y HE success Of George Washing
ton seemed to spring from his
we'll rounded character, from
his unselfishness, from his dis
interested patriotism and from his abll-
ity to inspire in others confidence and
esteem. In war he excelled as a
StrategiSt, in peace as wise and mod
crate statesman, in all things as just
and noble man. 1t would be impos
sible to place ones finger on any par
ticular SPOT in his career and say,
''This was the turning point; this was
the place at which Washington was
made More than almost any other
character in history he was in all re-
lations the great man, yet it is most
difficult to analyze him and tell the
particular thing that made him great.
Too modest to make a Speech too self
depreciative to seek his own advance
ment, his deeds caused him to shine
over all orators, and his virtues adj
vanced him over all self seekers. Few
men have received so much adulatiOn,
and from this there has been reac.
ton, yet after all that criticism can
do the massive proportions Of the man
still stand out to challenge the atten
ton of the world.
At the time he was chosen to COM
mand the Continental armies Washing
ton had rendered no especially con-
spicuous service to single him out
from his fellows. His selection for
that high post was rather due to the
general esteem in which he was held.
There are few examples in which the
individual integrity that we usually
denominate character counted SO much
for success as in the case of Washing
ton.
He had prodigious temper, yet held
it in check; he loved wealth and pos
sessed more of it than almost any 9th
er man in the colonies, yet he would
not accept pay for his military serv-
ices; he met severe reverses in his
campaign, yet was too great to be
crushed by them; he had conspicuous
faults that would have destroyed 4
smaller man, yet his general rectitude
was so great that it dwarfed the minor
defects.
There is a general sentiment in man
kind that worth means success. Our
faith in this proposition is often shak-
en-, but the case of Washington would
seem to prove it true.

without observing the freedom from
restraint that is evident among the
users of scales and weights. Scales of
all sorts may be seen, some with wood
en- beams, evidently homemade, others
of recognized pattern, on which are
used chunks of stone and odd pieces
of iron by way Of weights. Silver
smiths. according to the Indian Textile

acacia or the wild licorice for weigh

fact that the weight of seeds is not

A .ssman.s Complexion.

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove salowness or greksiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. :" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enricaes the blosd, parifies the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia

A familiar face laughed down at you.
ooh, Cousin Gracer' you cried de-
lightedly.
Cousin Grace did not stay with
Uncle John and Aunt Martha as you
did. She lived with her father and
mother in a house quite at the other
end Of the town. Nor was she little
girl like you, but beautiful young
lady, with bright sunshiny hair and
wonderful blue eyes, and when she
smiled-the sleeping beauty, you
thought, and Cinderella and the beau
tiful princess in the tower must all
have looked like Cousin Grace.
"Where are you going?" she asked,
and you joyfully explained. If she
would come with you she, too, might
pick "spring beauties you suggested.
And, although she laughingly shook
her head over the flowers, she, too,
must have heard the spring voices, for
she turned and followed you along D
path that wandered away from the
road through clumps of young naples
and silver birches.
"This is finev' you cried, racing Guy
to an alder bush, then scamperlng
back again. A memory of past frolics
enveloped you. ''If only Mr.. Ned were
here" you unused regretfully.
Cousin Grace said nothing, but the
pretty smile faded suddenly from her
lips You regarded her in astonlsh-
ment. Could it be possible that she did
not want him too? Why, she and you
and Mr. Ned had always had the,
greatest fun. Silently reproachful, You
raised your eyes to her face, and two
tears rolled slowly down your cheeks.
81 wish you wouldn't look at me like
that" she said almost sharply.
But it is your fault. Aunt Martha
said so. She said she guessed you were
sorry enough, now Mr.. Ned has gone to
New York. that you flirted so-so-sc
(you drew a long breath)-so outra-
geously,'' you finished, with conscious
pride.
"Nonsenser said Cousin Grace, and
you saw that her eyes were very bright
and her cheeks seemed uncommonly
pink. Nonsense, Aunt Martha should

Marshall Field.
By y. n. EDGE TON.

"a m ARSHALL FIELD was the
N/h greatest merchant of modern
" times. He had factories all
over the world, in almost ey
cry country of Europe, in China and
Japan, in Australia and in North and
South America. The goods manufac
tured by these mills he sold through
his great retail store. He was one of
the richest men in America, yet made
far less stir than men with one-tenth
of his wealth. Moreover, he paid taxes
on larger percentage of his posses
sions than probably any other Amer
lean millionaire. He never speculated,
neve; went in debt and never was os-
tentatious with his charities. The
for business integrity. In fact, in Civ
ing the three essential qualities of the
successful business man Mr.. Field
mentioned these:
"First-Absolute integrity.
"Second-Good judgment.
Third. Perseverance"
Thousands of people before MarshaH
Field have stipulated these as neces-
sary factors in success. but he put
them in practice. He lived them.
Personally Field was rather tall, but
spare. He was reticent almost to
sensitiveness. During office hours he
was strict disciplinarian; at other
times almost poet.
Field was a poor boy, the son of
New England farmer. He early ex-
pressed desire to become a merchant,
and his father secured him a clerkship
in village grocery. After the lapse
of a few months the elder Field asked
the merchant how the boy was max
ing out and received discouraging re-
port. The storekeeper did not think
young Field cut out for a business
man. AT this the boy doggedly deter
mined that he would fool that particu-
lar purveyor of calico. and he did.
Going to Chicago, he started as a clerk,
steadily crowded forward and was on
the road to success at the time of the
great fire Of 1871. In this he lost prac-
tically all, but started again with
little added edge to his determination,

Ing.
do you s'pose any spring beauties
have blossomed yet, Uncle John?'
Slowly he lifted his eyes and turned
his head to the window. "A ray of
warm spring sunshine slanted across
the bare branches of the old elm; al
ready the lawn was tinted here and
there with green. You waited eX
pectantly, your hand on Guys great
black head.
'Too early" and Uncle John disap-
peared again behind the folds of his
paper. At no time was Uncle Johns
conversation likely to be adorned with
any unnecessary words.
You sighed and stood looking out of
the window, a wistful, disappointed
little girl; looking while the huge New
foundland dog beside you pushed his
cold nose against your hand and licked
your fingers with his great, rough
tongue; looking while the budding ma
pie bough beckOned and the million
tiny little voices of spring called to
you and a lovely little path bordered
with sweet flower faces unfolded it
self invftingly before your minds eye.
You could stand it no longer. With
q happy little cry you ran out of doors
and raced with Guy along the path.
Breathless and rosy you halted to I'M
latch the gate. Out of the corner of
your eye you saw the front door open,
but you pretended not to notice, not
even when Uncle Johns warning voice
foated to you down the pathway:

On you went, the spring echoes in
your ears, the spring sunshine in your
eyes, to find your way suddenly block

you took your eyes from the glory of a
newly leaved maple to see why the fig
ure so obstinately stood in one place.
