When Washington Swore.

Did you ever know that Washing
ton had one of the closest calls of his
life within a stones throw of Times
square?" remarked a New Yorker to
an out-of-tOwn visitor. There's the
record of tan adventure that came
near changing the history of the coun
try"
The New Yorker pointed to a bronze
tablet on the row of houses facing
Times square above Forty-third street.
1t seems that in the revolution the
redcoats were Selling Manhattan and
the Americans were getting out as
fast as they could, bag and baggage.
Times square was open farm land
then, and the fugitives came up Broad.
way or Bloomingdale road. Gen. Put
nam and his men were nearly caught
by the British, but got away and were
coming up the road when Washington
met them.
THE Father of His Country let out
a string of curses and tried to stop
them. The man who wrote histories
hasn't the nerve to set down what he
said, but he could wear like a trooper
when he got started. Putnam's men
were SO scared. though, that they kept
on running. Washington was wild
with rage, and galloped away with his
staff across the fields. Where Bryant
park now is, he ran into SO redcoats
and would have been taken if his COM
panions hadn't pulled him back. What
would have happened if Washington
had been made a prisoner?"-New
York Times.

AN EXCELLENT REMEDY.
viii Break Up a Cold in Twenty-Four
Hours and Cure Any Cough That
Is Durable.

The following mixture is often pre-
scribed and is highly recommended
FOR coughs. colds and other throat and
bronchial trouble. Mix two ounces
of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin
OIL Of Pine compound pure, and eight
ounces Ct pure Whisky. These can be
bought in any good drug store and cas-
lily mixed together in a large bottle.
The genuine Virgin Oil of Pine com.
pound pure is prepared only in the
laboratories of the Leach Chemical
Co., Cincinnati, and put up for dis.
pensing in half-ounce Walls.
Who Are the Elect?
Two modern statements of the doc
trine of "election,' neither of which
would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist.
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl
grammatic and convincing phrase:
The elect are whatsoever will; the
nOn-elect are whatsoever won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex-
PLANTATION that is a star of equal mag
nitude. 1t was made by a colored d.
vine. who said:
Brethren, it is this way: The Lord,
devil, he is always voting against him.
Then the mar himself votes, and that
breaks the tie"

WASHINGTON

High over all whom might or mind made
great,
Yielding the ~conqueror's crown to harder
hearts;
Exalted not by politicians arts.
Yet with a will to meet and master fate,
And Skill to rule a young, divided state.
Greater by what was not than what was
done,
Alone on history's height stands Wash
ington.
And teeming time shall not bring forth
his mate,
For only he, Of men, or earth was sent,
In all the might Of minds integrity;
Ne'er as in him, truth, strength and wis
dom blent:
And that his glory might eternal be,
A boundless country in his monument,
4 mighty nation his postertty.

THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman of Floral Park. N. y. has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend Of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
a~bundantly ever in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
1t is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan. says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La. says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. J. II. Powers,
1882 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
Shou6h oi IL opdSC tA1V ACSI
to supply herself and friends.
j. p. Swallow, kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. II. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
In any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says 1t is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10.375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts OF that climate and fruits
a~bundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

Washington's Headquarters, Winches.
ter, Va.

Washington's Headquarters, Winches-
ter, Va.
within its walls were laid the plans
for the defeat of Lord CORVALLIS.
1t was 4 brilliant military court that
Washington held at Williamsburg, al
most within a stones throw of Will
liam and Mary college, the alma ma
ter Of Jefferson, Henry and other dis
tinguished Americans, and but a few
steps from the house, now in ruins,
where he courted the Widow Gusts"
1t was from the Williamsburg house
that Washington set out for York
town, leading the allied armies
through the forests to the eliminating
triumph.
There is perhaps in this country no
place richer in historical associations
than Williamsburg, which was the CO.
lonial capital of Virginia. 1t is con-
nected with great events from the ear
Hest settlements to the civil war. Not
least among them is the gathering of
the Americans and French for the last
campaign Of the revolution. 1t wit
messed the preparation of the trap
that caught CORVALLIS and the bril-.
liant reception Of the French officers
by Washington. And it is a source of
qualification that the headquarters Of
the First American, n of his last in
the field, is SO we'll preserved. rising
to-day in its original appearance above
the tender roses of a southern cline.
