TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
George Washington.
BY y. Il.
In all things q
Just and noble
man.

DUN HE success Of George Washing
ton seemed to spring from his
we'll rounded character, from
his unselfishness, from his dis
interested patriotism and from his abil-
ity to inspire in others confidence and
esteem. In war he eXcelled as a
strategist, in peace as a wise and mod
crate statesman, in all things as q just
and noble man. 1t would be impos-
sible to place ones finger on Any par
tlcular spot in his career and say.
This was the turning point; this was
the place at which Washington was
made" More than almost any other
| character in history he was in all re-
lations the great man, yet 1t Is most
difficult to analyZe him and tell the
particular thing that made him great.
Too modest to make q speech, too self
depreciative to seek his own advance
ment, his deeds caused him to shine
over all orators, and his virtues ad-
vancaa him over all self seekers. Few
mex nave received so much a%dulation,
and from this there has been q reac-
ton, yet after all that criticism can
do the massive proportions of the man
still stand out to challenge the atten-
ton Of the world.
At the time he was chosen to com
mand the Continental armies Washing
ton had rendered no especially cor
spicuous service to single him out
from his fellows. His selection for
that high post was rather due to the
general esteem in which he was held.
There are few examples in which the
individual integrity that we usually
denominate character counted so much
for success as in the case Of Washing
ton.
He had a prodigious temper, yet held
It in check; he loved wealth and pos
sessed more Of it than almost any 9th
er man in the colonies, yet he would
not accept pay for his military serv-
ices; he met severe reverses in his
campaign, yet was too great to be
crushed by them; he had conspicuous
faults that would have destroyed q
smaller man, yet his general rectitude
was so great that it dwarfed the minor
defects.
There is a general sentiment in man.
kind that worth means success. Our
faith in this proposition is often shaE-
en-, but the case of Washington would
seem to prove it true.

Marshall Field.
By >. 4. EDGE

"A AZ ARSHALL FIELD was the
IA IN greatest merchant of modern
times. He had factories all
over the world, in almost ev-
cry country Of Europe, in China and
Japan, in Australia and in North and
South America. The goods manufac-
tured by these mills he sold through
his great retail store. He was one Of
the richest men in America, yet made
far less stir than men with one-tenth
Of his wealth. Moreover, he paid taxes
on a larger percentage Of his posses
sions than probably any other Amer
lean millionaire. He never speculatad,
never went in debt and never was os-
tentatious with his charities. The
world over, his name was the synonym
for business integrity. In fact, in CIV
ing the three essential qualities Of the
successful business man Mr.. Field
mentioned these:
"First.-Absolute integrity.
"Second.-Good judgment.
"Third.-Perseverance."
Thousands Of people before Marshall
Field have stipulated these as neces-
sary factors in success, but he put
Them in practice. He lived them.
Personally Field was rather tall, but
spare. He was reticent almost to
sensitiveness. During Office hours he
was a strict disciplinarian; at other
times almost q poet.
Field was a poor boy, the son Of i
New England farmer. He early ex

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Sir Isaac Newton.
By >. n.

Nm this age OF doubt many Of our
most cherished legends are being
assaulted, the various apple sto-
ries along with the rest. There
have been at least three famous apples
in history-the one eaten by Adam and
Eve, the one shot of his sons head by
William Tell and the one whose fall
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the law
of gravitation. Despite the scofing of
the higher criticism, we still cherish
these pippins and are determined to
stand by them.
Newton was rather q dull boy and
was literally kicked into exertion. He
stood at the foot of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
The Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this indignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only whipped the
kicker, but determined to go ahead of
him in the class. This he did, and
more, for he went to the head Of the
row and stayed there.
The second spur to effort received by
the young man came at the time he
sought admission to Cambridge univer.
stty. He knew so little about Euclid
that the professor of mathematics OPP
posed admitting him. Newton there
upon determined to know Euclid and
succeeded so well that he became the
greatest mathematical genius Of mod
ern times.
Voltaire started the story Of the ap-
pie that fell and hit Newton so hard
that the young man determined to find
out what made it fall. If 81 great a
skeptic as Voltaire could swallow the
story, there is no reason why it should
not be accepted by the other skeptics.
When Sir Isaac first made his COM
putations on the subject Of gravita-
ton, he was misled by the erroneous
notions then held Of the length of IL,
earth's radius. He therefore abandon
ed the theory temporarily. Later the
error was corrected, when he returned
to the subject, completed the demon.
stration and gave it to the world in lis
famous Principal"
In the meantime he had made his al
most equally famous discoveries con-
corning light, dividing white light into
the primary colors and determining the
difference Of %refraction between them.
He also did much In p%erfecting the tel
escope, gave to mathematics integral
and differential calculus and made 9TH
er contributions to science which mark
ed him as the chief intellect Of his age.

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Christopher Columbus.
BY j. a. EDGE
He met rebuff
after REBUFF bit
woud not give
UP his dream.

ElOR eighteen years christopher
80 Columbus cherished the dream
of finding land to the west. This
time was spent in Intellectual at
tempts to get money for the undertake
ing. Almost every sovereign Of Eu'
rope was appealed to in vain. Poor.
friendless, almost alone, regarded by
many as insane, Columbus met rebuff
after rebuff, but would not give up his
dream. Finally he appealed to Ferdi.
nand and Isabella Of Spain. Ferdinand
was not convinced but Isabella was
more favorably inclined and in the end
went so far as to pawn her " jew.
els for the enterprise.
With the fitting out Of his expedi.
ton the troubles OF the great discov-
erer were not ended. When twenty
days or more out III an unknown sea,
his sailors began to murmur, urging
him to turn back. At last the muir.
muring broke out into open mutiny.
Still the bold navigator would not give
up. Quelling the Hlutiny with what
ever measures were necessary, he
promised a reward to the first sailor
who discovered land. At last the voy-
age was ended, and a goal greater than
he himself knew was won.
In all history there are few more in,
spring examples of faith than that of
Columbus. He had only his own ideal
to support him. Every one else doubt
ed it. Nearly a score of. years passed,
in which every attempt to realize his
dream met with failure. 1t is won.
derful that doubt did not assail his
own heart. His was a faith, if not to
remove mountains, at least to bring
new worlds into view. So great were
his troubles that they made him white
headed at thirty. They pursued him
even to the end of his life. At one
time he was thrown into prison. AT
nearly all times he was misunder-
stood. Saddest of all, he died without
knowing that he had found two new
continents and that his humble trip
across the sea would open a new era
in the history of mankind.
Columbus was Of q genuinely reli-
gious nature, which may account for
much of the trustful faith he had in his
own inward prompting.

EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
Three Things a White Person Must
Have 70 Live There.

Three Things a White Person Must
Have 70 Live There.
Without a mosquito bar a white per-
son would be unable to live on the
equator. writes Ida Vera Simonton in
the Delineator.
No matter how hot and sitting the
highland no other place can be so
sitting as the equatorial African
night during the long rainy season in
the midst OF the jungle-one must
sleep under a closely tucked in mos
quito bar, not the ventilated kind civ
ilization knows. but one of closely
woven stuff through which no air cir
culates.
When the mosquito bar was let
down it took in almost the entire room.
but it proved especially useful in sick
ness and convalescence. 1t permitted
existence free from insect bites. As
malaria is the white mans most in
sidious foe and comes from the bite
of the mosquito. every p~recaution must
be taken against it. Three things are
absolutely necessary in Africa-a mos
quito bar, a water filter and quinine.i
The bed was made by a native car

Stats of bamboo ribs fitted closely to-
gether withS the pith side uppermost.
They didn't give a. bit and were an
excellent dancing floor for the dried
plantain leaves which made the mat
tress. The leaves were confined be
meath ticking tackled TO the four sides
OF the bed, but they matted easily, and
every night it was continuous leaf
turning for ne. The bamboo was slip
perry, and insomnia kept me and the
leaves on the move, so that most OF
the time / slept or a hard surface. My
pillow was of dried sweet smelling
grass. Whoever says that hard beds
are beautiiers should sleep upon an
