ton. The body was removed from the base of
the oak about rs years ago. 1t never should have
been removed.
1t Is said that Washington selected the place
where his body lies and left instructions
that day the change of sepulcher should be
made. The oak which guarded the first grave
must have been standing for three centuries.
The view from the place is inspiring enough to
eIkindle the eyes of a dead man. The view from
the new tomb is fine in it's way but it is moth
ing to the grand sweep of river hilltops and for
ests which moves before the eye from the place
where Washington slept for 30 years.
Hundreds of visitors go Mount Vernon
daily. They peer into the tomb and then
straightway go to the house. There is inter-
est, of course, which must attach to any of the
belongings of Washington but it seems to be
legitimate matter of regret that of the thousands
who go to Mount Vernon the interest in the mir
which Washington used when he shaved and
in the spoon with which he ate his porridge II
he ate porridge is far greater than in the forest
trees under which he walked and in the garden
whose hedges of formSl cut were planted with
his own hand.

Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.

Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.
Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta.
toned at Bermuda. is brother OF
Lord Kitchener, and this fact has
worked against him rather than for
him. He is considered a clever sol.
dier in England, and at the time of
the war in South Africa 1t was
thought that he would receive an i'm
portant post that would become va.
cant. He was passed over and his
brother, Lord Kitchener. was asked
for the reason. "It should have gone
to my brother" he said, but if 1 had
given 1t to him everybody would have
yelled favoritism' at the top of their
voices, SO picked someone else"
Walter Kitchener was expected at
Cape Town at railway station once
when an old lady rushed in excitedly
and asked at what platform Lord
Kitchener was expected to arrive. No
one seemed to know anything about
his visit until 1t finally dawned upon
the staff officer that she had heard of
the arrival of his brother. He in
formed her that this was only Kitch-
ener that was expected. II call 1t a
shame that this man, whoever he may
be- should be allowed to use Lord
Kitchener's name; the government
ought to do something about IT," she
said, stalking majestically out of the
station
