convenience of the house in travel
ing, or who may be induced to visit it
from motives of curiosity"
Washington's dislike for slavery and
his humanity to his slaves are beyond
question. Nevertheless we find him
writing: And what sort of sickness
is Betty Davis? A more lazy, deceit
full, and impudent hussy is not to be
found in the United States"
When Washington was elected pres
ident he wrote to Knox: "In conf
dence, 1 tell you that my
movement to the chair of government
will be accompanied by feelings not
unlike those of culprit who is going
to the place of his execution"
Washington kept his hot temper un-
der iron control. He abhorred pro-
family. And here are two touches of
nature that make us all akin: At Mon
mouth finding the traitor Lee in re-
treat, he galloped up to him at full
speed and swore at him until the
leaves shook on the trees
like an angel from heaven" In a cab
met meeting some one handed him
cartoon representing him as being
publicly executed by the guillotine.
Jefferson thus writes of the scene:
"The president was much infamed,
got into one of those passions when he
cannot command himself. ran on to
the personal abuse which had been
bestowed on him, defied any man on
earth to produce one single act of his
since he had been in the government
which was not done on the purest mo-
tives; that he had never repented but
once having slipped the moment OF
resigning his office, and that was
every moment since; that by God he
would rather be in his grave than in
his present situation"
Washington was no freak of genius.

work to which he was called. He was
a consistent continuance of the fam
lily pattern. He Increased in wisdom
and stature, and in favor with God
and man." He grew, just as we all
grow
The Washington who was so embar-
rassed by the thanks of the Virginia
house of Burgesses that he could not
speak, and thus called forth Speaker
Robinsons immortal "Sit down, Mr..
Washington; your modesty is equal to
your valor, and that surpasses the
power of any language that possess,
was a very different Washington from
the Washington who awed the great
of all the world.
Had Washington died before he be-
came commander-in-chief he would be
remembered merely as a gallant Colo
nial soldier and rich planter; il just
after the surrender of Yorktown, as
one of the great generals of the
world; If after the Federal convention.

eustavo Madero Executed.

Mexico City, Feb. 20.-Gustavo Ma
dero, brother of the deposed Presi
dent, was removed from the peniten-
tiary and executed. 1t is presumed
that this was done by order of Felix
Diaz, under the notorious fugitive
law"
The ex-President and his brother
Gustavo were sent as prisoners to the
arsenal from which Felix DiaZ had
bombarded the city for ten days. Soon
after their arrival there Gustavo Ma
dero was subjected to the notorious
fugitive law" by which he was free
to run under the rifle fire of his
guards. He fell dead from their bull
lets.
Francisco Madero, the deposed Presi-
dent, was later taken under heavy
guard from the national palace and
lodged in the arsenal. There he was
a prisoner of General Diaz in the very
place which for over a week he had
caused to be battered with cannon in
his efforts to subjugate the rebel
army.
ftau FTduClSCO MdutIO SuCSetutu III
defeating Diaz there seems little
doubt that bloody reprisals would
have been made.
"Those Who Should Die" is the
caption in an official Maderist docu-
ment found The list included Fran
cisco de la Barra, James Florez Ma
gon, Manuel Calaro, Albarto Garcia
Granadoe and DR.. Vasquez Gomez.
For some days De la Barra believed
he was in danger of assassination and
hid in the British legation.
The rebel forces are not to be re-
moved from their positions for two or
three days, as disorders are feared.
The fall of the Madero administra-
tion in Mexico, brought about by the
well-arranged plot of the federal mill
tary leaders, has been received in the
capital with general acclamations. 1t
is not known how the rest of the coun-
try will receive the change.
The part played by the United
tSates embassy in the settlement of
the ten days battle gained for the
American flag such tribute as never
before was witnessed in Mexico.

wore a shirt which was made of the
material that was used for lace cur
tains. He was not statesman who
felt that it was necessary to affect a
slouch hat and proclaim his unwill-
ingness to be seen in evening clothes,
in order to win the support of the
plain people.
1t is alleged that Washington once
threw a silver dollar across the Po-
tomac river, but he never threw away
money by purchasing lobster for a
chorus girl
A set of false teeth that were worn
by Washington are preserved in the
National museum at Washington. One
is surprised when one examines them
to find that there is no trademark or
other sign upon them to indicate
that they were made in Germany"
If all the men and boys who have
been named for George Washington
could be drilled and armed and gath
cred into q cohesive force they could
whip any army in the world.
Washington was the richest man
in America when he refined from pub
lie Office, and a large majority of the
office-holders who have followed him
seem to have had a desire to claim
the same distinction.
The Father of his Country pos
sessed small ability as public speak
er. When it was necessary for him
to deliver an address he read it from
manuscript and became so nervous
that he could hardly. keep the pages
from eluding his grasp. He never
had the advantage of early practice
at a high school commencement.
Some men think that inability to
sign their names so that they may
be deciphered is an indication of
greatness. Washington does not ap-
pear to have regarded that as an in
fallible sign.
When Washington was a candidate
for the presidency there were many
people who feared that he would up
set business and wreck the govern
ment owing to his inexperience as a
chief magistrate. He insisted, how
ever, that it would be possible to have
a president who had not had to be-
gin somewhere.
We have no proof that Washington
ever rolled a cigarette or tasted
grapefruit. or bought on margins or
had himself PACED in hotel or tried
to write play or attempted to be-
come a fiddler or posed as a village
cut-up or threatened to stop his pa
per because he did not like the ed
Itor's policy.
Washington never Travelled abroad,
never saw a baseball game, never
played golf and never hooked his
wife's waist; but it is alleged that
he did lay a cornerstone or two.

George never saw an Ibsen play

He never had Wall street to fight

He did not dangle from strap.

With dynamite he never played,
