with the dangers apparent in such a
widespread tendency" But against
his arraignment of the "town-made
country man" there is something to
be said for the country-made city
man and his wholesome exodus to
the green fields and the old pastures.
There are 1922 organized clubs for
golfng In the the United States. and
the club houses and courses repre-
sent an investment of 500 100000. In
1898 there were not thirty automobiles
IN America, but within tho first SIX

automobiles had total capital OF

- OUIS PHILIPPE, King of
France, used to tell a charac-
| IL teristic story of Washington,
OF whom he occasionally saw
something while an exile in this coun-
| try. One morning he met the great
man, dressed in the most irreproach-
able style of the English gentleman
OF the period, with white stockings,
walking about in the rain before
breakfast. You walk early, Gen.
eral," he said. YES" replied Wash
ington, Il walk early because l sleep
well, and | sleep well because / never
write anything which can get me into
the slightest trouble. Remember
that, young mani" The letters in a
recent volume, entitled George
Washington, the Farmer" justify the
anecdote. Perfectly frank as most of
them are, there is nothing in them
which His Excellency, the President
OF the United States, might dislike to
see In print. They reveal a man thor
oughly practical and sincere, saying
no more than he means, and, above
all, as scrupulous for others as for
himself. They are never emotional,
yet they are often kind, and some
times, in dignified fashion, sympa-
thetic.
The first of the many epistles to
nis private secretary, Tobias Lear, is
dated September 5, 1890, the period
when the first President was about

state History Traced in Clan. Oak.


One OF the stately old post oaks
on the campus of the University of
Georgia has been cut down. 1t is
commented on that these post oaks
are probably the largest of the kind
in the State.
Chancellor Barrow and Prof. Ak
erman, of the department of forestry
in the university, counted the rings
from the bark to the centre of the
tree in order to find the age of the
tree. Two hundred and ten years
In rings were counted, and still a
certain distance remained to the CEN
tire that could. not be counted. 1t Is
believed that the tree was a least
$50 years old.
At the ring on the tree correspond
ing to little more than 100 years ago
1t was found that space between
the rings existed that was fully three
times as wide as the others. The
reason for this was at once apparent.
It correspondent to the time when the
University of Georgia was establish
ed and the forest cleared out In the
neighborhood of the old tree. This
caused an abnormal growth that year,
and consequently the ring was much
larger than the others.
The year in which Oglethorpe land
ed could be pointed out on the tree.
At that time the old oak was a large
tree, although that was more than
ITO years ago.-Athens correspond

The hostess Of a luncheon euchre
treated her guests to a pretty idea
the other day. Instead of the usual
decorations for such affairs she trans
formed hers into Japanese feast.
An inverted Japanese parasol made
a charming canopy for the luncheon
table, filed with trailing vines which
hung gracefully over the edge and
gave a swaying note of green.
The centrepiece was Japanese ILL.,
les, and fern balls all about the room
added further to the charming effect.
The tally cards were cranmented
with Japanese figures, a Japanese
gong was used. to make signals, and
the prizes included kimonos, Japan

tiers he refers half wrathfuIly to that
part of his domesticities which had
to do with his slaves. He writes to
Lear In 1874 concerning some of the
proposed sales of his lands: :.

A more definite statement, includ-
