AN OLD TIME TAVERN.
It's History Antedates That of the
Revolutionary War.

It's History Antedates That of the
Revolutionary War.
The old Rising Sun Tavern, one of
the most historic buildings in this city
and possibly in this state, has been
sold at public auction in order to settle
up an estate. It's history dates back
beyond the Revolutionary war, and
in its time It has been the scene Of
many swell social functions, says a
Fredericksburg (va.) correspondent
Of the Washington Star.
The old inn was run by George
Weldon, who afterwArd became
a major general in the Contin-
entail army. The old tavern was the
stopping place for many distinguish
ed men, some of whose names have
gone upon record as among the first
statesmen of this country. Prominent
among them were General George
Washington, General Hugh Mercer,
Chief Justice John Marshall, General
Lafayette and the first admiral OF the
American navy, John Paul Jones.
The tavern Is situated at the extreme
end of upper Main street, and was
In olden days a favorite stopping
place for those who owned large
plantations Hardly q day ever pass
ed that some Of the prominent citizens
of the town did not assemble at this
old inn to pass away time which
would otherwise have been freighted
with monotony.
Famous old Virginia mint juleps
were made and dispensed there by
an old negro servant, "Nelse." who
was famous for his ability to make
a julep which would make the mouth
run water. It was in this famous old
inn that the story Of George
Washington with his famous little
hatchet that cut down the cherry
tree Of his father originated. 1t was
while in company Of General Hugh
Mercer and several other distinguish
ed gentlemen who were stopping at
this old tavern that George proposed
to throw a silver dollar across the
Rappahannock, which was twice as
wide then as present. They repaired
to the farm of Georges mother In
Stafford county, just across the river
from the old ferry landing from
which bank George threw the dollar
to the bank on the Fredericksburg
side.
After the colonies had won their
independence General Washington
held in this old tavern a reception
to the officers who had been with
him at Yorktown. Among the dis
tinguished guests present on that oc-
casion was General Lafayette.

She arose from her desk with all the
quiet, calm dignity that we had been
admiring for three months, and stood
facing Bob. She did not seem to see
me: she saw nothing but the man who
had gone out that morning the person
ification of hope, who now stood be-
fore her the picture of black despair,
and she must have thought, 1T was
all for me-" Suddenly she took the
lapels Of his torn coat in either hand.
She had to reach up to do 1t, this win
some little Virginia lady. With her Dig
calm blue eyes looking straight into
his she said:
Bob
That was all, but the word seemed
to change the very atmosphere in the
room. The look Of desperation faded
from Bob's face, and as though the
words had sprung the hidden catch to
the doors of the storehouse Of pent-up
misery, his eyes filled with hot, blind
ing tears. His great chest was con-
yulsed with sobs. Again-clear, calm
fearless. and tender, came the one
syllable. Bob" And at that Bob's
self control slipped the leash. With a
hoarse cry, he threw his arms around
her and crushed her to his breast. The
sacredness Of the scene made me feel
like an intruder and started to leave
the room. But in a moment Beulah
Sands was her usual self and, turning
to me- she said: Mr.. Randolph please
forget what you have seen. For an
instant, as I saw Mr.. Brownley's aw-
full misery, 1 thought Of nothing but
what he had done for me, what he had
tried to do for my father, what PEN
atty he has paid. From what you
said when you left and the fact that
got no word from either of you,
feared the worst and did not dare look
at the tape; simply waited and hoped
and-prayed. Yes, I prayed as my
mother taught me should pray when
ever l was helpless and could do moth
ing myself. And 1 felt that God would
not let the noble work Of two such
men be overthrown by those you were
battling with. In the midst Of calm
ness that took for a good omen, you

KANSAS BrTTERNEss.-This Is what
a rural editor says about young idlers.
1--WE are raising too many society fops'
parlor soldiers and cigarette suckers
and street loafers. When we see lit
tie foppish, short dress, silly girl, just
jumping into her teens, gadding up
and down the streets, talking slang and
flirting with the boys, entertaining
young jobless bloods in the parlor in
the night time when she ought to be
in her trundle bed beneath her moth
ers tucked snugly in; when we see
knee pants kids and beardless youths
loafing up and down the streets who
are too trifiing to think and too stuck
UP to do odd jobs around home we
exclaim it's not statutory law that we
need, but it's parental law."-Kansas

WHAT TO EAT AFTER AGE OF 40
English Authority Lays Down Diet
Rules to Lensthen Life.

DR.. Cohen, a noted London physi-
clan, has furnished a diet that people
may eat after middle age to keep
from growing old too rapidly. Among
the foods most likely to have the ef-
feet Of keeping the body youthful as
stated by him are the following which
any one past 40 should use in prefer
ence to the heavier and richer arti-
cles. and which all city people will
probably find most suitable from the
age Of 2S or 80 onwards:
Mutton-It Is better than beef for
sedentary people. The leg is the best,
according to DR.. Burney Yoe. Young
and tender fowl and game. Eggs
lightly cooked, cooked in every form,
or beaten up with milk and little
sherry.
Milk-It Is better always to boil 1t.
It is as good in puddings, cocoa, cof-
fee, ETC., as alone.
Potted meats and game, II genuine
and unadulterated, are nutritious and
digestible.
Fish, particularly white fish, such
as sole. whiting, cod, founders. smelts'
etc. Fish is better boiled than fried.
Grilled bacon.
Sound, pure bread It Is best when
home made.
Porridge of rice. tapioca, sago. ar
rowroot, macaroni, made with milk and
eggs (not egg powders).
Vegetable purees Of all kinds.
Stewed celery, stewed onions, spin
ach, artichokes and nearly all vege-
tables.
Stewed or baked fruits Of every
kind, and raw, well-ripened apples
pears. grapes. oranges, strawberries
etc.
What Is to be drunk? If wine or
beer be taken they should be light;
If spirits. they should be we'll diluted
No alcoholic drink should be taken
except in very small amount.
Tea coffee, chocolate, are all good
Tea and coffee, however, should be
light and quickly made.
Hard water Is probably an active
agent in aging the body. 1t Is SAID
to produce calculus and may harden
the arteries. With hardened arteries
one cannot be young. Us soft wa
ter for drinking.
These are only some Of the FOODS
that may be used. 1t is mistake
to restrict the dietary too much
Moderation is the thing to keep al
ways in mind.
With. attention to food air, exer-
else, and the hygiene Of the mind
most people might be ten or twenty
years younger than they really are
The great scientist, DR.. Metchnikon
thinks we ought to live ten times as
long as the period we take to deVel-
op. That is from 23O to $50 years
There is no reason, therefore, why we
should not remain youthful until we
pass 70 or even 80. Some people ac'
complish it, and it is possible for q
great number
Do not eat heavy suppers.
Drink little or no alcohol.
Avoid rich meats and pastry.
Do not grow fat for eating toe
much.
Fat people seldom reach a good ole
age.

COAL SUPPLY MAY BE EXHAUSTED
Edward w. Parker, the governments
coal expert, has shown, says the Chi
cago Chronicle, that II the coal areas
Of the United States were simply
spread out in a layer six and one-half
feet thick, which he considers air
average, we should obtain 1000 to -
of coal per acre after leaving enough
underground to support the roof.
Our 100000 square miles Of coal ter"
ritory at this rate would give Us 4
supply of 100000, 100000 tons in al.
We used up 393,OOO,O0O tons Of coal IN
1905 and 425.O00,OOO last year. In all
we have used so far 6,0O0.000,000 tons
that Is, we have worked out little
less than 100000 acres of coal up to
the end Of 1906.
OF course at the rate Of production
during the last year or two our coal
supply would last (as nearly as can
be estimated) between 1000 and 5000
years. But we produced as much coal
in the last ten years as all Of the pre-
vious years since the United States has
been a nation. The entire coal pro-
duct has doubled every ten years. If
that rate Of increase were to continue
the total supply would be exhausted
in the next century. Even at the
present rate Of production the anthra-
cite areas of Pennsylvania will be ex-
hausted in the next rs or 100 years.

SWEPT BY SOBER WAVE.
Virginia, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima Voting Out Saloons.

Virainia, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima Voting Out Saloons.
AS indicated by the way saloons
are being voted out Of existence In
Virginia and Tennessee, the temper
ance sentiment is running high, and
especially is this true of the mountain
regions, where only a decade ago
distilling and blockading were car
ried on in an extensive way, says
Bristol, Tenn, correspondent or the
Chicago Chronicle. The sentiment
has so changed in the mountains or
western North Carolina that not only
Is the manufacture Of whisky prohib-
tied in the counties Of that region
but the shipment of whisky into that
region Is prohibited, and those who
violate the laws are punished severe
ly. some Of them having been given
Jail sentences, while others have re-
ceived penitentiary sentences.
An old distiller who was in Bakers
Vile, n. c., few days ago talked
Interestingly Of the change In condi-
tions. He said: ELEVEN years ago
was doing a big business in the way
of distilling. 1 turned out large guam
titles Of peach and apple brandy. 1t
was the finest spirits Of the kind that
was ever made, and 1 found ready
sale for it and made lots of money.
But my distillery was Of necessity
closed down, and 1 would not dare
venture to enter the business again.
The temperance sentiment has ruin
ed my business"
Asked If the prohibitory laws were
very effective in western North Caroli-
ma, the old distiller said that they
certainly were, and that whisky was
now much scarcer and that as a re-
suit there was less treating and less
drunkenness among the mountain
eers Usually" he said, when a
mountaineer gets a gallon Of whisky
now he freezes to it, for the reason
that he doesn't know how long 1t will
be until he can get another gallon.

STORY OF "oLD HUTCH"
How He Lost His Bet Against q Burg


lar.
"B. P. Hutchinson used TO say no
burglar ever could get into his house
without waking him." said Central
station detective the other day to q
Chicago Record Herald reporter, but
It remained for Chief Simon O'Don-
nell to put one over on the famous
trader.
"You know Mr.. Hutchinson was
famous in Chicago's commercial life
years ago and was known popularity
as old Hutch He prided himself
on the fact that burglars never had
gotten into his house, and often boast
ed Of the fact to his intimates. One
day, while he was at lunch with Chief
O'Donnell and a number Of other
friends, the company fell to discuss
ing a crime that had been committed
the night before.
I'D like to see anybody get into
my house. Mr.. Hutchinson said,
Why. hear every tick of the clock
all night
".I'll bet you a dinner for this
crowd said the chief. that I can
produce man who will enter your
house and you will not know Of his
visit till morning.
"Mr. Hutchinson accepted the wa
ger, and It was agreed that he was to
let the chief have latch key so that
the burglar could get in without be-
ing disturbed by some patrolman.
Mr.. Hutchinson also agreed to leave
some article of value in the parlor
where 1t could be found readily. The
chief said the robbery would be COM
mitted within the following week.
Three days later Mr.. Hutchinson
awoke In the morning and discovered
that both sheets Of his bed, which had
been in place when he retired, were
gone. So was a little antique clock
he had left on mantel. He hurried
ly dressed and hastened after break
fast to the chiefs Office. o'Donnell
saw him coming and, as he entered
the office, greeted him with:
"'Mr. Hutchinson, I have two
sheets and clock that belong to you.
We will have the dinner today
'"The burglary was done by for
mer criminal who, at that time. had
reformed and was in a respectable
line Of business. He did the Job at
the request Of the chief. How did he
get the under sheet? He rolled Mr..
Hutchinson over. rolled the sheet af-
ter him and then rolled him hack" /.

His Personal Charm Despite His Aus
tereIy courtIy Manner.
There must have been great per-
sonai charm in Jefferson Davis not
withstanding his rather austerely
courtly address, writes General Norris
Schaff in the Atlantic; and 1t has oc-
CURED to me that in 1t, next to the
almost Irresistible influence Of mar
riage ties, may be found the explana-
ton of the fact that a number OF
northern men, his personal friends, like
Huse OF Massachusetts,; Cooper OF
New York; Ives Of Connecticut; Cor
gas and Collins Of Pennsylvania, broke
the natural bonds of home and blood
and fought for the Confederacy A
southern friend who visited him at
Beauvoir a few years before he died
referred to this rare trait Of his ma
ture, and went on to describe his home,
shaded by pines and live oaks with
their drapery Of swaying moss, and he
told me Of the way his broad porch
overlooked the still and peaceful wa
ters Of the Gulf Of Mexico. I wonder
II, as his eye rested out on that
stretch of sea, where now and then a
solitary pelican winged heavily into
view, he thought Of his cadet days on
the banks of the Hudson and contrast
ed their peace with the dead hopes OF
his old age. He was a great man;
and there Is reason to believe that
had it not been for the financial blum
dering Of his cabinet in the first year
of the war, he might have won place
for his Confederacy in the family Of
nations. It's days, however would
have inevitably been few and full OF
trouble; and it would have fallen un-
mourned, the victim Of its own ar
rogance.

"They used to ship 1t into Mitchell
County as Japanese OIL IMMINENT,
ETC., but the authorities are now too
well up to that game and about the
only way shipments escape them is
when the liquor is put in a big
goods box and consigned to some
merchant, and 1t is really not surpris-
ing when they sometimes detect it
under those conditions"
The trouble which whisky former
ly caused in construction, lumber and
mining camps in western North Car
olina has been greatly reduced by the
rigid restrictions put upon the whisky
traffic.
