ton, too, he amused himself while IN
winter quarters by attending dances,
and nice subscribed eleven dollars in
gold toward raising funds for q series
of balls at the camp. During his
stay at his headquarters at Ncwherg,
n. Y, where he remained from April,
1852, until August. l7SS, Mrs. Wash
ington came to grace the old house.
Actual warfare had practically ceased.
although the army had not yet dis
banded, and was cnCampcd at Temple
hill. about five miles distant. There
was little to do, so, led by Washington,
the time was passed in social enter
tainments. Balls were frequent, and
history tells us hat Washington was
the gayest Of all the gentlemen, dane
ing nearly every set. Even at An
napolis. who're he went to resign his
commission as the communicating
chief of h army OF December %.
1888, a dinner and ball was given in
his honor. The dinner took place on
December % at Mann's inn-a hotel
which has now been converted into
a business house and occupied by II
theater, newspaper office, confection-
cry store and restaurant. Until n
few years ago the very room in which
he slept ould be seen by Sitors.
He opened the bal, which was held
at the state house, with. Mrs. James

1886, when he was SiXty-four years
of age, but when invited to the Alex
andria assembly in 1893 he sent his
regrets, saying that his dancing days
were over.
Washington was also fond of going
to afternoon tea with the ladies. and
when Mrs, W~ashington's friends
dropped in for tea In the afternoon
he was always present and delighted
to sit with them for a talk-in fact,

have been an ideal society man in
every respect.
The room in the state house at
Annapolis. where Washington resigned
his commission was restored under
the direction of Governor Edwin War
field during his term of office, and is
today one of the most noted of the
many interesting spots in Maryland's
historical capital. The building was
erected some time between the years
1863 and 1878.
Fraunce's tavern is another of the
historic spots where Washington
loved to Iinger. There he often held
conferences, and there it was that he
took final leave of his offices. The old
colonial building erected about 100
still stands at Broad and Pearl streets
in New York city. The property has
recently been acquired and will in all
probability be opened to the public as
a sort of museum.
The history of his two terms as
president are too well known to need
repetition here. Then came his re-
tirement from public life. A pretty
story is told of the dinner which he
and Mrs. Washington gave to John
Adams, the incoming president. AT
the close of the rcpast Washington
arose and, lifting a glass of wine, said:
Ladies and gentlemen. / shall drink
your health for the last time as a
public man. ] do so with all sincerity.

loved best in all tho world, where he
lived n private citizen until his death.
He was accustomed to ride over the
large estate every day, and one De-
Cembcr morning during Il snow storm
he contracted a heavy cold. which de-
veloped into pneumonia, and he died
on December IA, 1893. Thus passed

fects were overcome in later life and
some of his letters are remarkable
examples of perfect English. He took
special lessons in sword exercise and
was noted for his graceful fencing.
He paid little attention to books such
as Military Guides ARTS of War"
etc, and his knowledge along these
lines was acquired by actual practice
rather than from books.
Washington's mother, lived to be
elghty-three years of age, dying only
ten years before Washington himself.
During her entire life Washington
spared no pains to see that she was
made comfortable, and while he visited
her at times, these visits are said
to have been short and frequently I'M
pleasant owing to the complaining dis
position of the old lady. Washing
tons family seems to have given him
no little trouble, for his brothers as
well as his mother had a borrowing
tendency, Inc added to this were other
family troubles, for his younger
brothers were unruly at school and his
sister Harriet seems to have caused
him no little concern on account of

AT the age of nineteen Washington
was given a position of honor and
responsibility by the Virginia govern
ment owing to Indian ~depredations.

At the Old Carlisle house at Alexan-

Just after the death of Charles

torate of Oliver Cromwell, two young
men whose rgenealogy dated back to
the Norman conquest, came to Vir-

chased a large tract of land in West
moreland county, bordering on the
Potomac river. He afterwards ac-
quired several hundred acres of land
between Dogue run and Little Hunt
ing creek, now Fairfax county. This
land is now ABORTION of the Mt. Yer
non estate. At the death of John
Washington it was bequeathed to his
son Lawrence, and he afterward willed
At to his son Augustine, the father of
George Washington. The estate passed
from Augustine Washington to his
Oldest son Lawrence, George being the
eldest son by the second marriage.

The best method of doing good is to look for the good in the peo- pie and appeal to the good This
 is the better way to correct even the faults of people; it is easier to lead them out of their faults than it is to hammer their faults out of them. Certainly it is more agree able for all concerned, for when we appeal to the best that is in a man the man himself feels comfort able over the thought that good has been ascribed to him, and, moreover, we shall ourselves escape tendency to censorious- ness and soundness when we are looking for the good rather than the bad Western Methodist.

All the world hates a snob.
