GUILTY OF ONE SMALL LAPSE
The Following, Taken From unwritten
History, Proves George Washing
ton Was Only Human.

On the afternoon of October ID.
1853, George Washington stepped int
the private office of his good Philadel-
phia friend and dentist, Silioum Stra-
dies. Twas an elegant fall afternoon
and Chestnut street was alive with
colonial damsels out in their new furs.
"Good-day friend George" quoth
the dentist. as he finished polishing a
long, wickedlooking spear and picked
up a cleaning crowbar.
What brings You downtown thus
early?" pursued Stradles, as he laid
down the crowbar and picked up an
eight,pound monkey wrench. Moth
ing wrong with the teeth, ! trust?"
And he put down the monkey wrench
aud picked up a bone-handled iron
mallet weighing 1t carelessly in his
hand

ington, rather nervously. What did
you say?"
81 say, is 1t your teeth that brings
you here this beautiful day." said the
dentist, as he put down the mallet
and picked up pair of gas pliers.
"No, my feet" said Mr.. Washington,
with a forced laugh "Ha, ha, Silicum,
my feet brought me here, to be sure.
Well, am glad to have seen you, I'm
sure-I must go now"
Outside on the pavement he held his
hand to his aching Jaw and murmured
guiltily: "Ah, well. Just one little lie
In a lifetime won't do any harm, and
mayhap the historians will never get
hold OF It."
