Neither Washington nor any Of his

Others envied Washington his pow
er and his growing fame. resented
their own subordination and his SUI
premacy, and intrigued to put General
Gates In his place. Had not Gates
won ut Saratoga, and Washington lost
at the Brandywine and at German

victory in the north; Arnold and Nor
gan had done the fighting that secured
it; but Gates had obtained the COM
mand when all was ready. and was
willing to receive the reward.
With a political committee-congress

Washington and his army were
starving the while at Valley Forge in
desperate straits to get anything to
eat or anything to cover them in that
bitter season-not because there were
no supplies, but because congress had
disorganized the commissary depart
ment, and the supplies seldom reach
ed the camp
The country had not been too heav-
lily stricken by the war. Abundant
crops were everywhere sown and
peacefully reaped, and there were men
enough to do the work of seed-time
and harvest
The Army Chief Sufferers.
1t was only the army that was suf-
fering for lack of food and lack of
men. The naked fact was that the
Confederacy was falling apart for lack
of a government. Local selfishness
had overmastered national feeling, and
only few men like Washington held
the breaking structure together.

stil on in the district court ard no one
kiy~s when it will end. The plaintiffs

the defendants presented 4 great array
of witnesses, but it is thought that the
testimony of the defense will not be
so voluminous or at least that it will
not take SO much time to present it rs
was used by the plaintiffs.
When they have done it seems rs
though almost every resident of Rifle
creek will have testified, either on one
side OF the other of this case. How
ever, il is very much of repetition OF
the testimony introduced in the fight
to GUST Murtle from the office of water
commissioner, very little new testimony
being presented.
The case 10 unlike anything found in
the law books and therefore there is
no real precedent in favor Of either
side. The case has been long drawn
out and very tedious and both sides
will feel greatly relieved when it is
over.

The fire department was called out
just before noon Tuesday and it was
found that the school house roof was
again on fire. This trouble is becom-
ing altogether a too frequent danger
to life and property to allow it to oc-
cur again. The shingles are old aad
dry and when the SCOT in the chimney
takes fire, as it is apt to do at any
time, there is always danger that the
roof will be set on fire as has now
been the case in three instances. 4
tin roof would prevent q repetition Of
the trouble and this should be put on
before any further risk is taken. The
fact that Tuesdays fire and the othe.
tive were fortunately extinguished be
fore any serious damage resulted is
not very comforting to parents who
fear that the conditions may not n
ways be 80 favorable. It never pays
to daily with . condition that might
At any time result disastrously.

LAY1rnr.s lu1fura

The services at the Methodist church
last Sunday were conducted entirely
by laymen, the pastor, Rev. Geo. f.
Klein, taking q seat in the audience
and watching the proceedings while
Others had complete charge of the
meeting.
L. E. Howard presided over the
meeting and made all announcements.
X. NJ. Barbour offered the opening
prayer E. E. Westhafer read the Scrip
ture lesson and P. P. Dow sang a
Scotch solo.
Four of the men of the church thl IL
made short addresses on the line of
duty. N. J. Msyes spoke very ably
from the subject "My Duty to Ny
SELF" E. C.. Kingsbury selected the
subject "My Duty to Ny Neighbor, T"
using this theme as the subject for a
most interesting temperance exhorta-
tion. A. j.. Dickson spoke from the
subject "My Duty to Ny Church"
and Elmer Underwood closed with a
very able address on "My Duty to Ny
God" Between the addresses the
choir rendered selections in harmony
with the subjects selected by the speak
ers.
Mr.. Klein, the pastor, was to have
closed with an address ON "The LAy-
men in Action" but the laymen had
been 90 active during the evening and
had occupied % much time that the
parson eontented hinself by thanking
the boys who bad preached for him
and said he would keep his speech until
some other time. The segregation
seemed very much pleased with the in
novstion and the participants all felt
pleased land relieved) when the ordeal
