tell her about 1t.

Her Patriotism
By ELIZABETH WEED

Louise Archer was a very high
strung girl. Excitement was to her a
necessity, and often she mistOok her
excitable nature for noble impulses.
When the Spanish American war broke
out she was nineteen years old and
had been every day reading Of the
tyranny Of General Weyler and the
sufferings of the Cubans.
Louise had lover, Gus Saunders, q
plodding, methodical chap, entirely
different from her. Since she could
not go and fight the dons herself she
determined that Saunders should 60.
Impelled by the rafting of drums and
the gathering of the Clans" she went
over to where he was saving wood
and said to him:
"Why, Gus, I'm surprised at you!
Everybody but you is rallying round
the flag, while you are STOPPING over
ing to enlist?" -.

"Why, to right the Cubans' wrongs"
II don't see why should right their
wrongs"

II do. Our young men are focking
to the standard by thousands, while
you are content to bend your back
saving wood. Oh. that should have
accepted az
The young man was deeply in love.
The expression on his face changed to
one of such pain that Louise was de-
tered from speaking the word that
| was on her tongue. Throwing down
his saw, he said:
| Louise, l love you so well that l
will try my best to live up to your
standard After all, it is no more the
duty of others than mine to respond to
the call for volunteers. l shall enlist
at once"
spoken like a man, was the en-
thusiastic response, and she impulsive-
" threw her arms about his neck. Il
am sure you will return a hero"
"a what?" asked Gus.
"a hero. Some of Napoleon's mar
shals rose from the ranks, and maybe
you will"
"Just so-that is, If I have time"
''Time? What do you mean by that?"
"Why, how long do you think 1t
would take a big cat to kill a very
little mouse?"
ooh, you're always looking on the
wrong side Of things. It's going to be
a great war. Goodby. When you re-
turn with a generals shoulder straps
just think how proud I'll be of you"
| You'll be true to me?"
True to my soldier lover! Why,

wAsHINGroN's SURVEY MARKS.
The Fairfax Stone stands as a
permanent monument. In addi-
ton, there are, throughout that
section Of the country, various
other records of these Washing
ton surveys. For example, a
large white oak which stands at
the corner of farm about ~
miles from Lost City, Hardy
county, W. Va, was, according
to a persistent story of that sec
ton of the country, marked by
Washington.
Survey blazes cut into trees,
and since grown over, have Oeen
cut away, and a count of the an
nual layers of growth over tie
old wounds show them to have
been made at the time Washing
ton was surveying. One strange
thing about these b.azes is that
they are several feet higher than
those put on trees by woodsmen
lof today. This fact has given
rise to a sort of superstition that
Washington, known to have been
livery tall, was actually giant.
tOtler authorities have said that
Washington did much of his
work on horseback, and made his
blazes with a long-handled az
from the saddle,
