AMUSING PATRIOTIC DISH.

Harper's Bazaar described an anus
ing dish for the patriotic table. Have
French chops carefully trimmed.
Broil them nicely and have ready
some rounds of toast or fried bread.
Fasten each chop between two of
these rounds with wooden tooth
picks. or small skewers, and the re-
suit is very close imitation of
cannon. Put few stoned olives on
each plate to represent ammunition.
A pretty salad in keeping with the
general scheme is made of the choic-
est canned or preserved cherries to
be had. Unless the stones have al
ready been removed, take them out
carefully, and substitute b1anched
flbert or hazelnut. Arrange on white
lettuce leaves, and serve with a
French dressing in which lemon juice
takes the place of vinegar.

WASHINGTON IN WALL STREET

Sublime, where trafic's pillows beat
a nations wealth about his feet,
He stands; upon the surging street
he looks benignly down.
He hears the distant, wall-hid sea.
The silver chime of Trinity,
And, voicing passion, grief or glee,
Our million-throated town.
And, up and down, our tasks we ply
With rapid step and needless eye,
Alert alone to sell and buy;
But when the day goes dim,
When evening brings it's sweet release
From toll and care, when tumults cease.
When twilight crowns his brow with peace,
The children come to him.
Rejoicing free, in careless grace
They climb the massey granite base:
Unawed, they view that noble face.
They swarm the brazen knees
Whose polished surface now denies
The gray of age that artists prize;
But more than art is all that lies
In love of such as these.
What matters race, or hue, or creed?
Though born to wealth or born to need,
Or sprung of poor plebeian seed
Or proud patrician stem,
From lowly hut or lordly hall
BY these his land shall rise or fall.
His hand outstretched above them all.
Their father blesses them
Arthur Guiterman, In Youths Com
panion.

Kinley, who received his initiation
into the Masonic order during the
Civil War, in Virginia, and only a

Washington had presided as master.

Silver Plate From the Wooden Case
Which Enclosed the Leaden
Cofiin of George Washington.

This plate was found among the
debris in the old tomb at Mount YER
non when Gen. Washington's casket
was removed to the new tomb. It
was attached to the outer wooden
case, which was so decayed that the
plate fell off and was not observed
until the coffin had been inclosed in
new cedar case and placed in the
tomb. 1t was purchased from the

THE ORIGIN OF WASHINGTON'S
BIRTHDAY

The custom of observing Washing
toms Birthday had it's origin in New
York, according to the local histories.
Mary Simpson was a negro slave,
once owned by Washington, who ulti-
mately freed her. She lived at John
and Cliff streets, near the old Fly
Market, and sold butter, milk. eggs
and cookies. She never forgot
Washington Birthday and tried to
see that none of her patrons forgot
it either
Regularly on February 20 Mary
baked huge cake of a kind especi-
ally liked by the General, and put
the cake on table with a bowl Of
punch and a pot of steaming coffee
for her patrons. On the wall she

feature loud protest was raised,
on the ground that it would turn a
solemn memorial service into a mere
theatrical show. 1t was decided to
give the ceremonies a symbolical
rather than an initiative character,
though the reproduction was car
ried up to certain point The day
chosen was the 14th of December,
but the funeral of the 18th furnished
an outline for the incidents. The
Freemasons, the representatives of
the patriotic societies, and other citi-
zens assembled at the east side
of the mansion, and moved in process
sion to the old vault by the same
path, and as nearly as possible in

beneath it she put a small leather
bound trunk, displaying the initials
G. w. in brass nails. Both the pic
ture and the trunk were gifts Gen.
eral Washington had made to her.
It became custom to pay old
Mary visit on these occasions, par
take Of her hospitality and talk of
Washington's deeds. The custom
spread and by-and-bye the Tammany
Society voted to celebrate the day.
1t was the first organization to hold
public celebration in honor Of the
anniversary.

I never would have told lie
To vex my dear old dad
And yet the people seem to think
Because he told the truth,
It's something very wonderful;
Indeed, my great-aunt Ruth,
She signs and says she wishes that
"Our George were such boy,
For then he couldn't fail to be
His fathers greatest joy"
But / can't help thought or two

If once before he'd told the truth

purchase seed to insist on an affidavit
accompanying the seed that it did
not come from an infected district.
This will not be absolute protection,
but might prevent the Importation Of
the pest. It is matter of great i'm
portance and worthy Of careful con-
sideration at the hands of our people.
With the increased interest being
shown in corn growing, evidenced by
the dozens of clubs being formed
among the school boys, we may look
for the average yield in Mississippi
to increase from year to year. In

JUDGE THOMAS.

All citizens in favor of good government
irrespective of party, should not fail TO vote
for Judge William Ii. Thomas for the position
of Chief Judge of this circuit. For the past
six years he has been Associate Judge of the
circuit. aud his record on the bench has been
without flaw. Not one word of criticism
can be heard in any part of the circuit, which
includes the counties of Carroll, Howard and
Anne Arundel, and Democrats and Republi-
cans alike unite in his praise as a safe, honest,
learned and most capable judge.
The election of judges of the higher courts
is the most important and far-reaching duty
Governors, Senators, members of the Gen
eral Assembly and all the minor officials
together, may be inefficient, incapable, dis.
honest and even corrupt, and their incum-
bency of Office can have very little appreciable
effect on the public welfare. An incaple,
dishonest, and corrupt judge however, can do
more harm than all the others put together
The Judges are entrusted with the rights of
the people. They are above all others.
They hold the fate of all in their hands. The
personal freedom, the property, even the
very life of the people are in their hands, and
no one should be allowed to sit on the bench
who is not in every way qualified for the office.
A man to be judge must be tried and true,
and it is the one Office where experiments
cannot be tried-the man who aspires to sit
in judgment on the lives, the liberty and the
property of the people must be known to have
the necessary qualifications.
In all the particulars outlined Judge Thomas
has measured up to the highest standard. He
is an able and scholarly lawyer, he has the
calm, careful equable temperament suited to
the trial of cases, he has a JUDI 81 mind, he
can look at matters which con- before him
with absolute impartiality. {. d he can bring
to their determination impartial and logical
reasoning powers. He is no experiment, for
his experience on the bench has demonstrated
all these qualifications, in addition to which
his personal and private life have been such
as to win the respect of all.
In addition to his duties as Chief Judge of
the Circuit, Judge Thomas will become one
of the Associate Judges of the Court of APP
peals-the highest Court in the State. That
his qualifications for this position are all that
could be desired is evidenced by the fact that
the members of the bar who know him are
all ready to testify in his behalf. AS a further
evidence that he is well qualified to sit in the
Court of Appeals, one of the Oldest and ablest
of the Judges of that tribunal said to the writer
on Tuesday last:
"There is no doubt as to Judge Thomas
qualification to be member of the Court
of Appeals. If necessary, members of the
bar of the highest character and ability would
bear witness to that fact. He is in every re-
spect wel.fitted for the position, and I sim
cerely hope that he will be elected. He will
make worthy successor of his lamented
predecessor from Carroll county the late
Judge Roberts, and will ably fill the seat of
the late Judge Jones'"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1907-11-01

Is the Postmaster of Westminster aware
of the fact that he is forbidden to take an
active part in practical politics ? If not,
he should get the Civil Service rules and
read them over. United States grand
juries have taken up cases and found in
dictments against officials who have not
displayed more activity than the present
incumbent of the local office. 1t is true
his debt to Mr. Huber for securing the
place for him is great, but even Mr..
Huber, influential as he is in the Republi-
can party, has no right to demand of his
underlings violation of the rules and laws
which govern federal officials.
