TELL OF STRANGE MEETINGS
Doctors and Nurses Relate Remark.
able Happenings Occurring In the
Military hospitals.

The long arm OF coincidence was
mover more strikingly illustrated than
by the remarkable cases OF hospital
reunions related by the commanding
officer OF the Welsh General Military
hospital. Recently a nurse entered
u OF the wards, calling the name OF
a certain soldier who was due TO take
his medicine, In response to the call
a man sat up in II OF the beds. but
further inquiry showed that although
the surname was the same, the Chris
tian name was different from that OF
the man she was seeking. says Lon
don Tit.Bits.
AT that moment the right man, who
was well enough to hobble about, ar.
rived upon the scene, and then. 10 the
amazement OF the nurse and the other
occupants OF the ward, the patients
recognized each other as brothers who
had no met Tor many years. What
Is more extraordinary still. the two
brothers had been In the same ward
COR several days without either being
aware OF the Others presence.
Even more extraordinary is the Ease
of two men in another ward. who,
when the roll was called. suddenly
recognized one another as chums who
some years ago joined the colors the
same day. They had been close
cnums IN the ranks, but subsequently
drlltc'i apart through the drafting OF
one ol them on foreign service, to lind
themselves reunited In adjoining beds

and finally placed next TO II another

Another curious case is that OF a
man who after being wounded at the
front vas admitted TO n OF the wards
OF the hospital. On his discharge he
went back TO France, and, wounded q
second time. found his way back once
more TO the same ward.

Martina Washington.

Washington himself was a man OF
large property, and the wedding was
one of the most brilliant that had ever|
been seen in a church in Virginia.
Bride and bridegroom were attired in !
all the magnifcence which the fash
ions Of that period made possible.
When she was married to Washing
ton, Mrs. GUSTS had two children sur
viving of the four of which she ha
been the mother. TO these two chi
dren, Washington, who had money!
his own, was devoted father. Later
in life these children died and Wash
ington adopted two of Mrs. Washing
tons grandchildren.
Mrs. Washingtons faith in the wis
dom and frmness of her husband g,
patriotic course preceding and during
the Revolution never failed.
She had discovered the greatness of
her husband long before the people
that were SO signally to honor him
had found it out in all its splendid pro-
portions.
During the war Washington visited
Mount Vernon only twice, but Mrs.
Washington was with him in New
York and Philadelphia and joined him
in camp whenever it was possible.
In the years following their mar
riage and previous to the Revolution
the Washingtons lived in Virginia
after the style of the English aristoc-
racy, but throughout the war Mrs.
Washington was wont to set an ex-
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-02-18

ought to reflect on the service of
Washington in the making of this ma
ton and on the attitude of Washing
ton toward the future of this nation.
Washington a Seer.
Since the Spanish war the Farewell
Address, once a classic and apparent
~ Just about as much alive as most
classics, has fallen into disfavor. We
don't hear of its being pointed to
with pride" as often as we did.
Perhaps if we do go back to it we
shall find that Washington, besides
being a soldier and statesman, was
seer.
And a seer is much more interesting
than a little boy that chops down a
cherry tree or man that has never
told a lie.
A seer has way of projecting him
self into the future and finding a new
life there.
AS a prophet Washington is vital
force today. But he is force that
has been consciously and deliberately
disregarded.
Washington, the hero Of Valley
Forge, was essentially man of peace.
He saw that the happiness and secu-
rity of this country lay, just as the
happiness of an individual did, in a
policy of noninterference.
And as soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore
saw complications.
On the surface 1t seems strange that
| man whose inheritance and ways of
