Washington s In
au9uration

TT seems somewhat strange that
the Nation has followed the ex-
j ample set by Washington In so
many things and yet fails to do in
the matter of the date of the inaug-
uration of her Presidents. Washing
ton was not inaugurated on March 4th
as our other presidents have been and
as Governor Wilson will be next
month. 1t Is a matter of record that
he took the oath of office on April
3oth. 1889.
The selection of March 4th was en-
tirely a chance date In its Inception.
In order that the new govesnment
might get into working order as rapid
iy as possible. II was necessary to Sc
lect some date upon which Washing
toms term as President should expire.
The Fourth of March was selected for
some reason long since lost TO poster
ity, and washington's successor took
office on that date.

little Edwin-who was but five years

AS he sat out on the front steps
thinking what a 1-nderful hat he had

SO he called TO his brother and asked
to be allowed to go with them. OF
course he could not go In swimming,
for he was but Ave years old while his
brother and the rest of the boys were
at least twice his age. They assented,
and little Edwin trudged along be-
side them. proud as a peacock in
the glory OF his fine new derby.

"a own, IL Is a matter of historic
w record that he was kind and
loving stepfather to the children ana
grandchildren of Martha Washington
his wife. who before her marriage 10
him was the widow custis."
There were two children. John and
Martha Parke Custis. whose ages were
six and four years respectively at the
time their mother married Washing
ton In her nome on the York River
known as the white House," That
winter Washington and his family
moved to williamsburg. Va. and In
the spring to Mount Verron where the
children spent ten Jolly. care-free
years.
The lawns. the orchards. the river
and the huge portico of the big house
were all spots trod by their childish
Feet In company with their step-father.
Little John, or "Jacky" as he was
generally called. spent many hours In
happy companionship with Washing
ton. He went hunting with him and
learned military tactics and a certain
amount of engineering at his knee.
Little Martha worked her cross Itch
samplers. learned to play on the harp
sichord and how to cook and clean
house and studied her simple little
lessons.
1t is related that Washington was
very fond of taking IT, children on
his knees of a winter evening and
telling them long stories Of the days
when he was a boy In school and
on his fathers estate. When Martha
was Just budding iito womanhood she
succumbed to a dread disease that
she had been aghting off ever since
she was a little girl. She died In
Washington's arms one day just after
his return from a trip to williamsburg.
A while after this "Jacky." now
grown to mans estate. married six
teen-year-old Eleanor Calvert,
granddaughter of Lord Baltimore.
Nine years later. when both he and
George Washington were fighting with
the Continental Army. "Jacky," now
