A Washinoton Anecdote.

Rev. Mason L. Weems, who first
published and is believed by many per-
sons to have invented the story Of
George Washington and the cherry
tree, used many anecdotes in his life
Of Washington to illustrate his exalt-
ed view Of the liberator's character.
One of these shows Washington as q
taiker of politics. At the age of twen-
ty-two he was colonel of the Virginia
military organization stationed at
Alexandria. A local political cam
paign was on. Washington was q
great friend of one Of the candidates.
A Mr.. Payn was strongly in favor of
warm. Young Washington made a
heated remark, to which Mr.. Payn
took offense. Mr.. Payn carried cane
one of those heavy sticks so popular
in colonial days. He raised his cane,
brought it down upon the head Of the
future Father Of His Country and laid
the young colonel along the floor.
Some Of Washington's soldiers want
ed to fight, but he restrained them.
He went to his room, pondered all
night over the affair and next morn
ing sent for Mr.. Payn. The latter Of
course, expected that Washington was
going to challenge him to mortal COM
bat. He had visions of pair of pis-
tolls. Arriving at Washington's room,
he was amazed to find wine and cheese
on the table, of which the young man
invited him to partake. Then Wash
hgton apelogized to the man who had
koncked him down. He admitted that
he had been in the wrong. Such Is
Parson Weems' account, who goes On
to moralize at length over the story.

Two Jokes on Frederick Warde.

During performance in the west by
Frederick Warde a curious error was
made by the compositor who 'set up"
the bill for 1.-THE Tempest" The part
enacted by Warde was that Of Pros

the compositor billed in this wise:
Prospero, Frightful Duke of Milan.

Now, the player, who has a keen
sense Of humor. was sufficiently struck
by the fun Of the thing to forward a
marked copy Of the playful to his
daughter, then in the east. Miss
Warde: too, was appreciative Of the
compositor's effort, for she sent her ia

Each bud blossoms but once, and
each flower has but its minute Of per-

soul each feeling has, as it were. its
Towering moment, its one and only

In the night through the meridian over

but once. and in that moment all its
