The Other Washington
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY,

TT was 1903 years ago-February
IL, 1S10-that Simon Bolivar,
at the time young man of
q. received his colonels commits
sion from the revolutionary junta
at Caracas, Venezuela.
1t was the beginning of career
that was as noble as it was bril-
liant, and with perfect justice Boil
war stands forth in history as the
South American Washington
Born at Caracas in 1888, OF no.
BILE and wealthy house, Bolivar,
after receiving a thorough educa-
ton, devoted a considerable time
to travelling, visiting, among other
lands, the United States of Amer
lea. While in this country he had
his eyes opened to the blessedness
of free institutions, and upon get
ting back to his native Venezuela
he heartily identified himself with
the cause of independence.
The sword that was given him
by his countrymen he welded in
such way as to make him forever
famous as a warrior. The campaign
which ended with the victory at
Boiaca stamps its organizer as a
military genius of the first order.
With many handicaps he fought
the trained veterans of Spain with
his raw levies and beat them Oft
ener than he was beaten.
When disaster came he bore It
with undiscouraged fortitude and
with amazing skill and daring. and,
when the enemy were least expect
ing it, turned the defeat into VIC
tory No misfortune was able to
put a damper on his courage or
clip the wings of his splendid
hopefulness. Like our own Wash
ngton, he managed to see a star
in the darkest night time of dis
aster and to wiring some sort of
substantial success from the most
diseouraging situation.

been the most important geological

1t seems extraordinary that on

President Taft has one more
grand chance to go wrong. He can
veto the anti-jug train liquor bill.
1t Is without question entirely
reasonable for respectable people
to consider the Martha's Home an
undesirable neighbor and desire it's
removal. The form the protest
took, however, in effect accuses the
good woman in active charge of
this work, the committee of church
women of Atlanta and the execu-
tive committee of the Men and
Religion Forward movement who
are sustaining 1t of running
house of Ill fame. and is decidedly
unreasonable and preposterous.

proaches the height of the kudu,
which stands at the shoulder close
on ) feet Neither does its coat,
although longish in texture attain
the flowing proportions of that of
an old male nyala. In the latter
animal the color of the ram is
dark grayish brown and sparsely
marked with faint white stripes.
The true nyala ram carries also a
notable. fringe of long hair on the
throat breast and under parts. as
well as a crest of dark hair along
the neck and of white hair along
the spine from the shoulders to
the tail. The lower parts Of the
legs are a bright tan, and some
tan is also to be seen upon the
face. There is a strong similarity
between the horns of the mountain
and the true nyala, but those of the
former are longer, heavier, and
wider in the sweep.
The longest recorded horns of the
true nyala measure 3lI-2 inches
over the curve and &c inches in
straight line. while the biggest pair
OF the mountain nyala yet known
attain as much as 80 inches over
the curve and 80 IL inches straight
measurement The widest known
pair of the true nyala are 171-2
inches from tip to tip, while the
hrst two known pairs of the noun
tain nyala measure respectively %
inches and u inches.

hottest idea of profiting financially
therefrom No doubt the motive is
the most laudable. Moreover, care
in all probability will be taken to
place the management of the CO.
operative stores in the hands of the
employees themselves, and to pro-
vide regulations guaranteeing that
all profits shall be distributed to
the purchasers.
In England, in Scotland and in
certain other foreign countries gen
eral cooperative stores have proved
very successful. The movement
has not flourished in a large way
in the United States-although a
very ambitious scheme, associated
with labor unions. is now on the
tapis and may figure prominently
in the newspapers before long.
Unless corporations proceed with
very fine regard for the sensibili-
ties of their workers, and unless
control of the CO. operative stores be
placed wholly in the hands of those
it is designed to benefit. infinite
chickering's are almost certain to
break out. Then il has been dis
covered that a man may be an eX-
cellent miner or steel worker or
carpet maker and yet have little
talent for directing the affairs of

may not prove good merchant.
When a shoemaker forsakes his

From the Same Source.

Man shared this ms tinctiVe art
with the other animals. He got It
from the same source. A company
of emperor penguins gravely NOV
ing in unison. bowling to one an
other with stately courtesy and
taking their steps with rhythmic
regularity reveal the origin Of
dancing. We can not read the
thoughts of the penguins, but we
can see plainly that their perform
ance has for them the same kind
of significance that the dances of
savage men possess for those who
take part in or look upon them.
When you were younger you no
doubt read In the book called
Swiss Family Robinson" the ac-
count of a beautiful wild birds
dance on fallen log with a multi
tude of admiring bird spectators
looking on. That account, although
It appeared in a story of fiction,
was true to nature. Many natural
lists have beheld similar scenes.
They prove that the passion for the
stage is not confined to men and
women. A visit to any barnyard
when the spring sunshine calls out
the fowls will show you proud
cock ruffling his bronze feathers
and taking dancing steps before his
admirlng family. The great Oar
win drew profound lessons from the
behavior of dancing birds There
are even dancing mice.
