had suffered a cruel misadventure in
love at the hands of fair jilt in Lon

eccentric bachelor he showed himself
to be in the free and quiet colony.
A man Of taste and culture, he had
written with Addison and Steele for

had acquired, for all his reserve, that
easy touch and intimate mastery in
dealing with men which come with

brought with him to Virginia, though
past fifty, the fresh vigor of young
man eager for the free pioneer life Of
such a province.
Lord Fairfax Builds Lodge.
He tarried but two years with his
cousin, where the colony had settled
to an ordered way of living. Then
he built himself roomy lodge, sha-
dowed by spreading piazzas, and At

build was never begun. The plain

NEORGE WASHINGTON was cast
" for his career by a very scant
W and homely training.
Augustine Washington, his father
lacked neither the will nor the means
to set him handsomely afoot, with as
good schooling, both in books and IN
affairs, as was to be had; he would
have done all that a liberal and provl-
dent man should do to advance his boy
in the world, had he lived to go with
him through his youth.
He owned land in four counties.
more than five thousand acres all told,
and lying upon both the rivers that
refresh the fruitful Northern Neck;
besides several plots of ground in the
promising village Of Fredericksburg
which lay opposite his lands upon the
Rappahannock; and one-twelfth part
of the stock Of the Principle Iron Com
pany, whose mines and furnaces in
Maryland and Virginia yielded a bet
ter profit than any others in the two
colonies.
His Father Once Sailor.
He had commanded a ship in his
time, as so many Of his neighbors
had in that maritime province, carry
ing IRON from the mines to England,
and no doubt bringing convict labor
ers back upon his voyage home again.

into his confidence as if he had been
his own son. Not only upon his vaca-
lions now, but almost when he would,
and as if he were already himself a
man with the rest, he could live in
the comradeship that obtained at Bel
voir and Mount Vernon. Men of all
sorts, it seemed, took pleasure in his
company.
Lads could be the companions of
men in Virginia. Their outdoor life of
journeyings, sport, adventure, put
them, as it were, upon equal terms
with their elders, where spirit, auda-
city, invention, prudence, manliness,
resource, told for success and COM
radeship. Young men and old can be
companions in arms, in sports, in
woodcraft, and on the trail of the
fox. Twas not an indoor life of con-
ference, but an outdoor life Of affairs
in this rural colony.

He himself raised the ore from the
mines that lay upon his own land'
close to the Potomac, and had II car
ried the easy six miles to the river.
Matters were very we'll managed
there, Colonel Byrd said, and no pains
were spared to make the business
profitable.
Captain Washington had represent
ed his home parish of Truro, too, IN
the House of Burgesses, where his
athletic figure, his ruddy skin, and
frank gray eyes must have MADE MIN
az conspicuous as his constituents
could have wished. He was a man OF
the world, every inch, generous, hardy
independent. He lived long enough,
too. to see how stalwart and capable
and of how noble a spirit his young
son was to be, with how manly bear
ing he was to carry himself in the
world: and had loved him and maze
him his companion accordingly.
He Inherits a Farm.
But the end came for him before ne
could see the lad out of boyhood. He
died April IL, 1743, when he was but
forty-nine years of age, and before
George was twelve; and in his will
there was, of course, for George only
younger sons portion. The active
gentleman had been twice married
and there were seven children to be
npovided for. Two sons of the f1rst
marriage survived. The bulk OF the
estate went, as Virginian custom die
tated to Lawrence, the eldest son. 10
Augustine, the second son, fell most
of the rich lands in Westmorelano.

Des Moines, March 21.-In the opin-
ion of many the Bryan speech before
the legislature was a little more re-
served than has been his wont. He
spoke as the calm philosopher survey :
ing the situation and drawing conclu-
slons. But his talk was along almost
identical lines with talk he delivered
before the Iowa assembly, either four or
SIX years ago. at which time he pointed
out the trend Of the times toward more
popular government and discussed the
movement of getting back to the
people. Then. as now, he spoke of the
advance toward electing senators by
the people and of the initiative and
referendum. But on this occasion it
was pertinent for him to say that he
did not know what is being done in
Iowa, nor care. as to these movements
toward democracy. for they are NOV
ing on and are inevitable.

litical weather bureau. he said naively,

lost caste as predicter. Have not had
so much trouble that way in recent
years. The wind has been blowing
long enough now in one direction until
we feel sure it is permanent, sort Of
trade wind. The trend Of the world is
in the direction of more popular gov
eminent; thruout the world every
where and always the tendency is to-
ward giving the people larger control
of their affairs. Every legislator who
recognizes this and places himself in
harmony with that tendency will sue
ceed."
This was the spirit and the keynote
Of his address-thoroughly Bryanesque
and laden with the familiar but ever
attractive philosophy of hope and
confidence and good will. The Bryan
to the legislature was very
delightful hour.

FIFTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN
TO PRESS IMPORTANT
MEASURES.
PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS
AND TARIFF COMMISSION
Proposes Pension Bill for All Widows
Whose Marriage Took Place Prior to
1s1o-To Put Tariff Boar Question
squarsiy UP to Congress at Opening
Of Next Session.

Washington, March 21.-Representa-
tive Good, who left Washington for
Iowa on Tuesday morning, has drawn
up two important measures which he
will introduce into the Sixty third con-
gress on its opening day.
The first Of these deals with a
radical reform of the widows pension
law.
The other provides for the creation
of permanent tariff board.
Under the present pension laws, I'M
less a widow of an old soldier married
him before 1892, it is impossible for
her to get on the pension rolls except
by special act of congress.
Mr.. Good proposes that s12 month
shall be paid to every widow whose
marriage certificate is dated on or be-

foro Jan. !. 1910. He also proposes
that II the marriage occurred later
than Jan. !, 1910, and the widow proves
that she has lived and co-habited with
the old soldier for period OF at least
two years, she shall get $12 month
just the same.
The striking provision Of the bill.
however, Is one which provides that II
the widows income Is less than $500
per annum and her property valued at
less than $4,000 she shall be placed on
the rolls at the same amount her hus-
band drew at the time Of his death
In all cases this would be materially
more than $12 month and would pro-
vide a pretty fair competence for
widows
The law as it now stands was drawn
many years ago to prevent women
from marrying old soldiers just to get
their pensions after death. Mr.. Good
contends that 1t is manifestly unjust
to thousands Of worthy women and his
law would correct the unfairness, while
at the same time 1t would prevent any
marrying just for pensions sake.
Plans Tariff Board.
Mr.. Goods tariff commission bill
will put that matter sQuarely up to
congress for action. 1t will be referred
to the committee on ways and means.
He provides for a commission Of five.
not over three of whom can come OF
the same political party. They are to
be named for terms of five years. but
in order to get the commission into
working order, the first set Of men Will
be named for one. two, three, four and
service on the commission they can
have no other business connections and
members of congress are made ineligi-
BILE to serve on it. The men are to be
appointed by the president and to be
confirmed by the senate.
The great difference in Mr.. Goods
bill and the provisions relating to the
present temporary commission is this:
The present tariff board Is under the
direction of the president and makes
all reports to him.
Mr.. Good proposes to make his tfr'',f
commission responsible to congress-
making it imperative for the board to
report at the beginning Of the long
session which opens every other De-
cember and at other times as congress
directs.
The powers of the commission are
broad. Mr.. Good proposes that it in
vestigate not only the difference in
the cost Of production at home and
abroad, but as to the cost and eff
cheney of labor, hours of service. stand
ards of living, etc. Also it shall in
vestigate the prices paid manufac-
turers, wholesalers, retailers and all
sellers of domestic and foreign made
goods. In other words. the commits
sion has power to investigate and re-
port on the direct bearing of the tar
iff to the high cost Of living.
The regular provisions as to wit
nesses. subpoenaes and hearings are
included, and If the bill is e\Nacted. the
county will have change to see what
real tariff commission can do.

Il is needless to suffer any longer

heart-wrenching pains, when you can

Rheumatism comes from weak. IN

rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism Is
to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because 1T
neutralizes and dissolves all the pois-
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge In the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength.
ems the stopped-up inactive kidneys,
SO they can filter all the poison from
the blood. and drive it on and out of
the system.
Croxone Is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and blad-
der disorders You will find it different
from all other remedies. There is
nothing else on earth like it. 1t mat
ters not how old you are, it is practic-
ally impossible to take it into the hu-
man system without results. You viii!
find relief from the first few doses, and
you will be surprised how quickly al!
your misery and suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle at any first-class drug

sell it on a positive money-back guar

days is often all that is ever needed
to cure the worst backache or over
