TY1NTO every generation of Ameri- O cans George Washington is
 justly held to be the purest
 figure in history = a superb ex- ample of the perfect citizen-a just and righteous ruler and "a light for after time."
 This commanding personality had a magnificent physique. He stood over six feet in his stOclxings, was re- markabIe for horsemanship, agility and strength the finest gentleman and athlete of his day.
 His constitution was of iron and he knew how to keep it SO. His bi- ographers declare that in eating and in drinking as in all things he was normal; enjoying the juice of the malt all the days of his life. He drank it around eampfires, as we'll as in his own home and upon social and state occasions.
 Furthermore, upon his Mount Vernon plantation he had a brew house, as was the regular custom of wealthy Virginians.

MRS. TADLER SUES
FOR DISCRETION
Husband is Also Charged With the
Theft of Wife's Clothes.
PARTIES WELL KNOWN HERE
Offender is Captured and VIII Be
Brought to chambersburs When
= Charges viii Be Tried.

From The World of Thursday:
Mrs. c. e. Tabler. formerly Of this
city and we'll known here, later Of Ha-
gerstown. and at present resident
OF Chambersburg, lodged information
against her husband in Chambersburg
for sdesertion.
Back of the alleged desertion is an
interesting story. It seems that some
months ago Tabler became infatuated
with Miss Hattie Stevens, daughter OF
former Oficer Stevens. This matter
developed along the lines Of true love.
it is stated, and when it was too late
both Tabler and Miss Stevens had dis
appeared. 1t was after they had gone
that the warrant was issued.
Mrs. Tabler told the magistrate THAI
her husband had eloped with the
Stevens girl. The warrant also
charges Tabler with the theft OF
clothes belonging to his wife.
After the warrant was issued Of
fcers were put on the trail of Tabler,
and it was known that he went in the
direction Of Harrisburg. Wednesday
ne was arrested at Duucannon by OF
ficers of Newport, who got on ais
trail from the description sent out by
the Chambersburg police authorities.
Constable Miller, Of Gnambersburg,
went to Newport, where Tabler is con
fined, and will return with his man,
who will then face charge OF de-
sertion, and perhaps something more
serious.
Miss Stevens, the girl in the case.
aas returned home The bubble burst
for her soon in the game, AMI she
came back of her own accord, wiser
girl.
, Tabler is a one-armed man aud Is
well known here where he and his
wife lived for several years and
where he was engaged in various en-
terprises.
/ The Stevens girl is said to be only
16 years old and her father was
anxious to have Tabler brought to
Justice.
There is one story that Tabler was
never married to the woman, who is
suing him for desertion This she
stoutly denies, stating that she was
married to Tabler when he was seven
teen years old. They have four chill
dren: Bertha. Goldie, John and Grace
ranging in age from 10 to IL years.

THIS STATE FOR TAFT
SAYS GEO. c. STURG|SS
Thinks That West Virginia win Give
a Republican Ma.orlty of More
Than $4,000 This Fall.

Washington, Aug George G.
Sturgiss. of the Second West Virginia
district-the district once represented
by William L. Wilson--who has been
spoken of prominently as a compro-
mise candidate for governor OF West
Virginia in the event the two repub-
lican nominees for that Office should
withdraw does not believe factional
differences in that state will have any
effect on the vote for the national
ticket.
Business and labor conditions In
West Virginia were never amore pro-
pitious for republican success than
they are this year. said Mr.. Sturgiss
at the New Willard The banks are
in good shape. labor is employed, the
mines are running, and there is no
occasion for discomfort with the aa.
ministration.
q look for Taa to carry the state
by a plurality Of from $4,000 to 40,-
000. In my own 1iSlrtct deem Il my
duty to make vigorous campaign to
be returned to congress BY an In
creased majority. We reclaimed that
district from the democrats and it is a
matter of state and national impor-
lance that we snail keep it in the re-
publican column. It may be that the
split in the party III West Virginia
may have the effect of reducing the
majority for the state officers, but
do not believe it viii result in demo-
cratic success. The democrats always
claim the state before election day,
but the republicans are always there
when the time comes for electing
their ticket
