ton only in the wonderful unity of its
people the world over, and in revolu-
tionary times in last throes of in
voluntary dissolution, sent her sons
to wage in America the struggle for
freedom that had gone against them
at home. So Count Casimir Pulaski
and Thaddeus Kosciuszko came to this
country.
To tell of the life Of Kosciuszko
would be to tell of a wonderful old
world romance, of love and hardships,
of discouragenents and great tri-
umphs.
Son of Lithuanian noble. he came
to this country as a result Of love

bearing with him, it is said, blood
stained handkerchief, the only memen-

only to be snatched away from him by

The couple were overtaken and Kos

The last sitting given by Washing
ton was for Sharpless, who made a
mathematically correct profile which
furnishes the authority for the pro-
portions of the subjects features.
OF all painters, none achieved more
than Gilbert Stuart who, it is general
ly agreed, has given to the world the
best likeness of the man. Stuart's
success was probably due to the fact
that he kept his subject from self
consciousness by entertaining him. In
the two originals of this artist, and in
the twenty-six copies which he made,
he left noble personification of wis
dom and serenity to the American peo-
pie in the person Of the first president.
In color and finish, as well as in life
like resemblance Of features, no Wash
ington artist has approached him. AT
the time of the Stuart sitting Wash
ingtons mouth appeared rather unnat-
ural on account of two new seahorse
ivory front teeth which substituted for
the generals own. The failure Of the
first portrait, which was destroyed,
was probably traceable to this fact.
The Stuart picture of Washington
standing with a sword in his left hand
was made expressly for the Marquis
of Lansdowne, who was so delighted
with the canvas that he declared it
was only his advanced years which
prevented his crossing the ocean to

him round and, Poland having no
further attraction for him at that time,
he came to aid the struggling colo
nists in America.
Through F'ranklin's aid he was given
a place on Washingtons staff, and
afterward made colonel Of engineers,
position for which he was eminently
fitted by a careful military training in
the best schools of Europe He was
with Gates at Saratoga, with Greene
In the Carolinas, and again in charge
Of the fertilization of West Point on
the Hudson.
When he had finished at West Point
that place was considered the strong
est fortress in America, and Washing
ton took pains to pay tribute to Kos
ciuszko's genius. At the end OK the
war he was a major general In the
Continental army.
Then he went back to Poland to
fight for his own people. His efforts
we're unsuccessful, and, after a check
cred career, he died in 1917 at Soleure.
Switzerland. His heart was buried
under monument there, and his body
e.nbalmed and afterward laid at rest
at Cracow.

(THE END.)
Gems That Brought Misery.

The history of diamonds and the
many other precious stones, ruby, tur-
quoise, emerald, opal, topaz, sapphire,
chrysolite, sardonyx, amethyst, nearly
all of which are mentioned in the
Scriptures, goes far back Of historic
times, and is lost in a maze of religion,
superstition and legend. 1t has been
intermingled with intrigue, politics
and diplomacy; murders galore: scan
dals unnumbered; imprisonments and
beheadings. The story of the Ola
mond Necklace" which, possible inno-
Gently on her part, smirched the fame
of Marie Antoinette was one of the
factors in agitation that led to the
great French revolution. The Bastile
opened to several of the actors in the
scandal, one of them Cardinal de Ro-
han, who was arrested in his robes in
the midst of his court. Cagliostro, the
famous magician swindler, was anoth-
er of the Bastile prisoners, and Coun-
tess Lamotte-Valois of royal lineage,
who was the chief conspirator, for pc
cuniary gain, escaped, from the prison
to London, where she died in penury.

thank Washington for allowing this
picture to be taken.
Although several copies of this paint
ing were made by Stuart, the painting
in the White House, SO long consid-
cred his, was not done by that master.
1t is the work of an obscure artist,
who substituted his own copy for an
original which the government pur-
chased for $500.
Another interesting fact about this
picture is that during the time when
the British were in Washington in
1914 it stood out in inclement weather
for several days. This was because
the man to whom it was intrusted was
afraid to keep it in his house for fear
of being punished by English invaders.
AS Stuart did not excel in represent
ing Washington's figure, this picture
does not meet all the requiI ements of
a good painting. The hand is said to
be too small, as Stuart used tie wax
model of his own hand in making the
picture.
Stuart's famous Washington por-
trait, made for Mrs. Washington, was
never entirely finished, because the
artist always managed to delay COM
plotting the background. Finally,
Washington, after frequent sittings,
became annoyed and told the artist
that he would sit no more, but to send
the picture home when it was finished.

Their mode of life has not greatly
changed since Biblical times, and to-
day they steal cattle and camels. and
their young men steal wives, as was

Indeed, the purloining of cattle and

them. and the more tribe or an in
