Mrs Davidson, then child six eight years
old remembered the visit perfectly and kept
until she died a present which Lafayette had
given to her, the grandchild of his old friend and
comrade In arms.
Thereis no statue of Washington in Lafayette
square though one day there may be, for 1t is
said to be possible that Andrew Jackson may be
put elsewhere and George Washington may take
his place The nearest physical approach, SO to
speak that one gets to the first president, in La
fayette square, Is In the White House, which
fronts IL. It may not be generally known that the
White House was completed before Washington
died II was only few days before his death,
as Washington tradition has 1t, that George and
Martha washington walked through the recently
COMPLETED White House, to give their approval
or dIsapproval 1t may be, Of the arrangement
Of the rooms. It Is possible that that visit to
the captal was the last one which the Father
Of his country made, for 1t was only short time
aferward that he dled at MS country seat mount
Vernon.
Re,srence to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the fact that there Is living in Washington today
an agad man named John Lane, who Is the only
llyinv nerson who ever saw George Washington.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT
Fer Rs1, Veal, WsaEy, Wstay b

MY little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but It's treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was 30 bad that l had to cut
his hair of and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin on with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Guticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day. twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,
