average American, was given $4,000
acres. In all these cases 1t was q
pure gratuity, In the case Of the
Washington estate the heirs are
simply asking that what was WASH
ington's In law and equity be restored
to them. Washington never accepted
q foot Of land or a dollar OF money
for his services. and yet even the
land he acquired by purchase was
not protected in his possession.
Heroes OF war usually have Jared
well at the hands OF their country
men, financially as well a. otherwise.
And they have never, except In the
case of Washington, refused the
financial return that has gone with
the reward of honor and affection.
England has always been liberal to
its heroes. After Waterloo the Duke
OF Wellington was given the estate
at Strathfieldsaye, valued At more than
81. 800, 900. Lord Wo1sefey received
$125,000 for the completion Of the
Ashanti campaign. Sir Hugh Gordon
and Eir Colin Campbell each received
life annuity Of $4,000 for services
rendered by them Lord Roberts re-
ceived 100000 for his South African
services. and Lord Kitchener $780,
republic receive an annuity of $780,
600.
It must not be presumed. however.
that the washington case Ia the only
just claim that 10 pending against the
government. The aggregate face
vaiue of the unsatisfied claims
amounts to a shade less than two
billion dollars. Perhaps hatf of these
might be considered improper or
Questionable claims. OF the others,
perhaps half might be scaled down
at least SO per cent. But the others!
What tragedies are locked up in the
records of those claims. Estates lost,
people beggared. hopes deferred and
hearts made sick! However Just the
claim, there Is always years OF heart
breaking delay. and In many cases
the grim spectres that haunt the halls
of Congress tell bitter tales of de-

Who has not heard OF the famous
red apple lobbyist? For years and
years he camped in the corridors of
the Capitol with red apples for states
men. The Federal troops had trans
formed hts orchards and gardens Into

gave him a few hundred dollars. but
only enough to emphasize the injus-

As long as she lived Sylvia would
never forget that dizzy walk home
from the hospital in the singing,
pouring rain; the savage pleasure she
experienced In the cruel way 1t whip
ped her hot cheeks and half froze
the angry blood curdling fiercely
through her rebellious little body.
She had been a fool to go there,
Of course. And she faced the verdict
of her own common sense with the
keenest sense of humiliation she had
ever known. To be refused admit

presumably lay dying because she
could not give an affirmative answer
to the attendants inquiry as to whe-
Their she were anything to the pa
tent, was bitter enough of itself, but
to come face to face with Chalmers's
mother and Alline Bester, about to
enter where she had been denied, and
to be met by naughty stare of sur
prise from each made her youn1
blood boil.
AS a matter of fact. they were
everything to each other. Both she
and Chalmers knew that far better
than any spoken word or circlet of
gold could signify, but no formal en-
gagement existed between them, and
she could not be the first to proclaim
their love.
They told her at the hospital that
IL he lived through the night the
chances were he would recover. The
following day a paragraph In the
paper stated that young Chalmers was
pronounced comparatively out of dam
ger. succeeding item limited at
his approaching betrothal to Alline
Bester. And within a week the young
fuliback was on the rapid road to
recovery.
The day before Chalmers was dis
charged from the hospital Sylvia, her
mother and father sailed for Japan.
Nine weeks later Sylvia sat reading
with overnight. indignant eyes the
following letter from her lover:
Boston, Mass. Dec. 8.

The writer had his attention
called to a very attractive cxhlol'
tion of corn in the window ct the
Peoples' Hardware & FurAiture
Co. store.
There was one Objectionable
feature, however, that marred the
beauty and impaired the effect of
this cereal display. In two IN
stances, at least, deception was
practiced and a false impression
was made. 1t seems needless TO
say that whatever is put on exhlbl-
ton for inspection as the fruits OF
industry or the products OF skill
should be so displayed as to make
no false show and to conceal no
real defects or blemishes. They
should appear as they are and
should rest upon their intrinsic
worth. This is essential to real
honesty.
We know that no one concerned
in the case to which reference has
been made, saw anything wrong in
it, and that the object was simply
to attract attention, to create sur.
prise and to have little fun.
But when We come to consider
the matter thoughtfully, however
well-meant it may have been, there
is clearly a moral principle under
lying it, which is evil in itself and
corrupting in its tendency, and
which, if encouraged and give1
free scope, is sure to lead to decep
ton and fraud of a high crimina
character. The well-meant hoa1
may amount to nothing more thai
transient fun to those whose ex
hibits are correct and well estab
lished, but it is a dangerous pre-
cedent to set before youth, who
under the most favorable condi
tons, will be strongly tempted
along this line. Let us see to j
that, in presenting incentives t
industry and skill, we do no
pander to craftiness and deceit.
