tanned 5000 acres Of swamp, woodland,
hill and meadow, and fishing, boating,
shooting or chasing the fox could be
enjoyed for the space of a days travel
ing without ever once going over the
boundaries. Washington was q keen
and active hunter, and riding behind
the hounds was a Virginian sport that
met with his cordial approval. A thor
ough sportsman was he besides, and
it is related how one fine day he sprang
from his horse into a muddy pool, not
caring for the barrel of a shotgun at
close quarters, and wreaked vengeance
on a poacher and trespasser.
In reality his life was that of a typi-
cal Virginian gentleman, save that few
planters were as prosperous as he and
had estates sc complete. Nor did the
average Virginian have such a house
full Of distinguished guests. In the bed
rooms of Mount Vernon slept at one
time or another the pick of the "qual-
ity" of the land. Patrick Henry and
Light Horse Harry Lee were frequent
visitors there, and the Marquis de
Lafayette and his French companions
made the old manor home ring with
~brilliancy. 1t is recorded that Wash
ington was a genial and generous host,
his reserve and GOODNESS so noticeable
in public mellowing into warmest hos
pitality when he was at home under
his own roof.
Even throughout his military career
and his craftsmanship he kept careful
track of the affairs of his plantation
and in the midst of his campaigns
sent frequent instructions to his man.

how, during the war, a party of British
soldiers came to pillage. His overseer
by ~wheedling, bribing and spreading

In the time Of Washington Mount
Vernon was a noted tobacco planta-
ton. The leaf that went out from
there had no superior or even peer.
During the comparatively few years
Of his life that the general lived un-
disturbed at his home he assumed the
charge of even the most minute de-
tails. He personally inspected every
corner Of his fields and barns and
watched over his slaves, of whom
there were several hundred at one
time, with the care of a father.
His accounts were kept with minute
exactness. He had the divisions of
his farms numbered, and the expense
of cultivation and the produce of each
lot were noted, detailing exactly the
profit or loss of each particular crop.
Until after he went to Mount Vernon
at the close of his second term he did
all this work with his own hands, and
he employed a secretary only then to
answer his public letters.

Washinaton,a Rshuke.

Washington" said a senator, speak
ing in the city of Washington, "was
not a cynic, yet he sometimes said
things 80 wretchedly true that they
had a cynical note. Thus, rebuking a
certain type Of churchgoer, he once
wrote:
1.-the church's feasts and fasts are
marvelously well kept up. The rich
keep the feasts and the poor the
fasts.'"

Quotes Bakers Report.
Now let me read a part OF the Sec
rotary OF States descriptions IN June
last OF the atrocities in Mexico.
For three years the Mexican re-
public has been torn with civil strife
The lives Of Americans and other ma
lions have been sacrificed. Vast prop
critics developed by American capital
and enterprise have been destroyed or
renderd non-productiv. Bandits have
been permitted to roam at will
through the territory contiguous to
the United States and to seize with
out punishment or without effective
attempt at punishment. the property
Of Americans. while the lives Of citi-
zens OF the United States who VEN
tured to remain in Mexican territory
or TO return there to protect their in
terests have been taken, and IN some
cases barbarously taken. and the muir
derers have never been apprehended
or brought to justice.

Americans started by train from
chihuahua to visit the Cusi mines
after having received assurance from
the Carranzista authorities In tho
State Of Chihuahua that the country
was safe. and that a guard on the

Recently, we have had illuminat-
ing utterances from two Of the most
important spokesman OF the admin
istration-two Cabinet Ministers. The
Secretary OF the Treasury finds fault
with my answer to the question put
to me the other night at Louisville
about the sinking Of the Lusitania. He
saws that / did not say what l would
have done after the sinking. You
may recall that l stated specifically
the position I would have taken in
advance. and the notice | would have
given OF the action / should take and
I added that with this position un-
eQuivocally stated I'm advance. and
backed by a convincing administra-
ton record, the ship would not have
been sunk.
Now rises the Secretary OF the
Treasury to complain that this was
not a statement Of what I would have
done had the sinking occurred. But
I was under the impression that whei
I said what I would have stated In
advance as to what ] would do every
one would know that stated what in
fact. I would have done in the de-
scribed event. The Socretary's re
mark shows in an Illuminating way
this Administrations conception OF
the value OF words. II apparently
seems impossible 10 this administra-
ton that one can mean what he says.
That IS it's difficulty. with II a
threat OF action does not seem TO
