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

On the afternoon Of October IA.
1858, George Washington stepped into
the private office of his good Philadel-
phia friend and dentist. Silicum 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 n
long, wicked.looking 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

And he put down the monkey wrench
and packed up a bone-handled iron
mallet v @ighing it carelessly in his
hand.

and the ladies exchanged surreptitious
smiles. II the two gentlemen were
aware of each others sterling quail
ties, their mutual appreciation was In

the majors bland suavity so nearly
approach an u~ndignified irritation as
when receiving the envenomed darts
of that accomplished cynic.
The major settled his black tie. "A
little wholesome exercise wouldn't be
a bad thing for you. Doctor" he said
succinctly. You're looking a shade

dying to ask you. We've had such an
interesting conversation. You've

The major sat down heavily. In the
bright light his face seemed suddenly
pale and old.

his face. They did not leap the wall

Shirley cambridge was thinking of
when she brought that low-born child

Something like a growl came from
the doctor as he struck open the

That was before you came. They

sick almost a year, and the doctor
used TO carry him out here on the
porch every day in his arms, like a
child. And then. when the typhus

The rockers vibrated in silence for a
moment. Then Mrs. Clifford said; Il

thing to do with that duel. Vas he

major was the other. l vas a little

For a time the conversation Ian

Mrs. Mason shook her head. No

course, the major or the doctor. and
wouldn't question either of them for
