The Botanic Garden is a government
institution, conceived by George Wash
ington as a part Of the great university
he had in mind, but lost sight of in this
rushing age Of ours. save by those to
whom the fence that guards it Is An eye
sore and to Congress. that makes appro-
priations for its maintenance. 1t was
the Father Of his Country who placed
the garden on It's present site in op-
position to David Burns, that thrifty
Scot. who had bit Of ground Of his own
that he wanted to sell for the purpose.
1t was a stretch Of marshy ground when
Washington fixed upon the square at the
foot of the Capitol for the home Of the
Botanic Garden. and it remained s
swamp until 1922 when the Botanic So
ciety was formed and planting was begun
on the dryer portions Of the square. The
history Of the Botanic Society and how
its child the Botanic Garden. became a
part OF the governm and the story Of
its nonaScnarian custodian, William Il.
Smith, Is as follows:
William Smith was born ninety-two
years ago in the land Of .'cakes and ale'
and Of Bobbie Burns. His birthplace was
Heddington, which lies at the southern
seventeen miles east of Edinbr"~h
memorable as the birthplace Of John
Knox. Smiths first employer was Lord
Elcho, and from his famous gardens he
went to Kew. where all the horticultur-
lists who have made a mark in this coun-
try seem to have served an apprentice
ship. Then young Smith came to Amer
lea and shortly after landing here was
appointed superintendent OF the Botanic
Garden by Franklin Pierce. From that
time until now he has directed it
Dominated by Two Passions.
Mr.. Smiths life and character have
been dominated by two passions-love for
flowers and love for his countryman,
Bobbie Burns. In the little brick cot
tage covered from roof to base with
vines. Mr.. Smith has hundreds of orig
inal editions and manuscripts of Burns
works. His living-room is lined with
these memorials. and beside them are

paintings and engravings Of Burns and
all sorts of odds and ends that recall Mr..
Smiths prophet, priest. and king" as
he called him in a speech delivered be-
fore the Society OF American Florists
years ago.
It has been Mr.. Smiths privilege in
the nearly seventy years he has been in
Uncle Sans service to meet most of the
distinguished men who have served in
Congress. Fancy knowing the statesmen
OF Franklin Pierce's time and then hob
nobbing with the men who dominate the
national affairs of to-day. who might be

Smith. William Pitt Fessenden. Of Maine.
any other Representative. Senator Fes-
sender had a beloved verbena. raised and
presented to him by Mr.. Smith, which
he guarded as though 1t were a tenderly
loved child. He would travel miles In
the fall to pot it, lest the early frosts
might kill il. and no duty was so impera-
tive that he could not be at his home in
Maine to transplant his verbena.
Another of Mr.. Smiths intimates was
Sunset Cox. the wit Of the House, who
often sought a refuge other than his
committee room where he could relax
and rest He found this sanctuary in
Mr.. Smiths vine-covered cottage. where
bis host talked to him Of flowers and
Bobbie or any other subject that was
suggested.
NAccording to Mr. Smith. there never
was a more ardent student of flowers
and trees than Charles Sumner. who was
wont to pass hours in the botanic king
dom, discussing horticulture, but that was
Summers way. He delved deep in every
subject that interested him. and when he
visited Mr.. Smiths kingdom talked as
wisely as though the raising Of flowers
and the nursing of trees were the only
things on earth that interested him.
~Thad Stevens' Dollar.
Thaddeus Stevens was another of Mr..
Smiths great friends. When things got
too hot for him up on the hill he mean
dered down to the bottom Of it and sought
seclusion in the shades of the Botanic
Garden. Once Mr.. Stevens asked ''Thad''

Imagining, no doubt, that he was still
amid the magnificence Of his viceregal
court, he did not rise when he saw her,
but graciously beckoned to her to take a
seat, and was even affable enough to in
dicate, by means of viceregal pat with
two fingers, the exact chair adjacent to
him where he was pleased to permit her
to sit. Although the viceroys of Ireland
are treated at Dublin with almost as
much ceremony and etiquette as II they
