WAsHINGToN's BIG FORTUNE
Prof. Sparks Talks About the Father
of His Country.

CHICAGO, Feb. EFF the Father of
his country were alive now. he might
be denounced for his 'swollen'' for
tune and be a target for public criti-
cism as are other rich men. This is
the view taken by Prof. Sparks, of the
department of history of the Chicago
university.
George Washington was one of the
wealthiest. if not the weathiest men of
his time" said the professor. He was
worth $3.50, 900, which at that time was
an immense estate. Yet he did not take
a cent for his services in the Revolu-
ton.
He arose at daybreak, took a cup of
hot tea and rode over his plantation
and returned at o'clock for breakfast.
Then he went fox hunting. He wore
an II shoe and a u boot. He was six
feet two inches tall and his gloves had
to be made to order on account of his
big wrists

MERRY DUEL IS R|O|cAlED
And Now Offended Fencer Threatens
to Horsewhip Editors of Gil
Bias in Paris.

PARIS Feb. 27.-There are those in
| France who ridcule duels as heartily
as do Americans. but quite the merrest
public utterance on the subject appear
ed today.
Some days ago the police forbade a
duel in Princess park. The antagonists
went in automobiles to another place
| them being hurt, they took another
! automobile ride and then fought with
swords, after which they made up in
the usual manner, mutually cOmpli-
menting each other
Though neither of the combatants
was hurt it was a lively duel. and to
make sure the public would be inform
ed on the details, reporters went along
with the party
About that time Earnest Charles, of
Gil Bias, wrote an article saying INTEL
igent men ought to refuse to fight duels
He added those who did fight, obeyed in
sense of vanity rather than honor.
The best way to stop the practice was
to Systematically suppress the public
ity, for which professional duelists had
such taste, he said:
Threatens to Horsewhip Editor.
One of the duelists telegraphed to the
editors of Gil Bias, expressing resent
ment over the article. The dispatch
was followed by a card. The sender,
A Thomeguex, said he would horsewhip
Earnest Charles for meddling with his
affairs. The card described NJ. ThOme-
guex, member of the Publicists' asso-
citation an officer of the academy, a
chevalier of the Order of Agricultural
/ Merit, etc.
Ernest Charles today published the
/ card and the telegram. After promis-
ing his readers he will never fight a
duel, he appeals to them with delicious
irony for advice; he fairly sings: 90
tell me, you who know. I'm exposed

officer of the academy, and a chevalier
of the Order of Agricultural Merit

member. Haven't l luck? | even do

an international fencing tournament
where he felicitated my brother upon
gaining the worlds championship. He
