/ Another interesting bit of corrobora-
ton as to the existence of such per-
son as George Washington is the will
made by his mother. This interesting
document is still part of the records to

historical treasures, however, as only
men of strong physique are able to
endure the bed and board Of Freder-

All honor to that day which long. ago
Gave birth to him who Freedoms
cause espoused;
Who, by his ardor in the sacred fight.
The fire and strength of patriots
aroused:
Who knew no master, save that One
divine
Whose strength was his. who knew
no fear. save one
The fear of doing wrong! All hail the
day
That gave to Freedoms cause George
Washington!
Years come and go. and generations
Into the dust. The world its heroes
gives.
They step upon the stage. then pass
away
And are no more, but Freedom ever
lives.
And while It lives. and while Its ban
ner bright
Is upward flung into the golden sun,
Within the heart of every freeman's
child a
Will live that honored name, George
Washington.
Then honor to the day that gave him
birth,
For it is also Freedoms natal day.
Let all who worship Freedoms cause
stand forth
And to his memory, their homage
pay.
And let each loyal son the work take
up
For, know We. Freedoms work is
never done

CHELSEA SWEPT BY FIRE.

Destroys Buildings and Stock, Bar
her Shop and Residence.
Fire, originating in the Conte hard.
ware store, late at night. resulted in a
contlagration which destroyed the
building and stock, the Conte barber
shop next door. and the adjoining res
idence owned by P. Hach, in Chelsea.
1t is not definitely known how the fire
originated, but presumably 1t was from
gasoline heater or gas lamp. The
blaze spread with such rapidity that it
was impossible to save much Of the
contents of any of the buildings. The
hardware store building was valued at
$1,7O0, and the stock was valued at
nearly $4,000. The estimated value
of the barber shop.is $500. and of the
residence about s1.50O. The only in
surance carried was s1.1oo on the hard
ware stock.

Sack with Chickens Found Beside
Rims at Mcnlo.
The barn Of George McClarey. eight
miles northeast of Menlo, was burned
to the ground Sunday night. Five
head of horses. four head of mules,
twelve tons of hay, and about 500
bushels of corn, were consumed by
the fire and is a total loss. The loss
is something near $4,000. which is
partly covered by insurance. The
origin of the fire Is a mystery, The
fire caught in a hen house near the
barn, which set 1t on fire and had
made such Roadway when discovered
that nothing could be saved. 1t is
the general belief that it was the
work of chicken thieves. as a sack
containing chickens was found near
the front entrance to the house.

Prices We're never So Hixh.

A record Of current prices of ninety
Six commodities in every day use, an
compiled by Bradstreet's agency, shows
that the cost of living up to this time
had reached the highest point since
such figures were kept, exceeding even
the prices Of March 1, 1907, when they
went soaring in anticipation Of the pam
ic. Bradstreet's figures are based on
actual wholesale quotations per pound
over wide area of markets. The lat
est index number is s9.1293, which
means that the cost of one pound each
of the ninety-six commodities at tho
prevailing wholesale rate would total
that sum. This is gain of III since
Jan. I, 1909. but only 3.5 over the first
of 1907. But 1t should be understood
that this list of articles is not confined
to foods alone, but includes textiles,
hides and leather, coal. oil. building
materials. drugs. ETC., as well as bread
stuffs and provisions. The rate of in
crease in foods alone is much greater.

Julius Reimer. aged 90 years, and

Dora had the coin, and Julius-well,

to share life's burdens with him, gave
him $1,000, every cent she possessed,

Misunderstanding In them is embodied
the spirit of the historical movements
they commanded. Through them the
best ideals of their contemporaries are
clear to US. Their biographies are ma.
tional epics.
Without Washington America, by
weight of growing nationality, would
have parted sooner or later from the
mother country. Fifty years ago the
forces that tended to national unity
were stronger than those that made
for disunion. and in the end unity
must have prevailed, even without
Lincoln. But in Washington and Lin.
coin are concentrated the meaning of
the nations great triumphs. The young
nation scrambling to its feet after the
struggle for independence, uncertain,
untried. became instantly personified
in the grave wisdom of Washington.
The spirit of union, so sorely crippled
by the Civil War, and long suspected
by many Americans to be but the spirit
of tyranny in disguise, took before all
mems eyes the shape of Lincoln, SO
that Whitman thought of unionism as
"a new virtue, unknown to other
lands" to be added to Lincoln's hon
esty, goodness shrewdness, conscience.
That the nation bred, each for his
time. the man who led and typified his
fellow men justifies democracy in its
hope for the future. Washington was
the product of transplanted English
civilization, adopting when the time
came ideals hostile to the traditional
order. but preserving the essence of
that order in his conservatism and gra.
cious dignity. Lincoln was the perfect
fruit Of half-century Of national in.
dependence. realizing democracy that
was not in Washington's blood. but
which he believed in and hoped for.
The new nation had made new man
We can easily forget or fail to learn
