Brief Facts About Washington.

George Washington is being
held up to view just now by men
who would compare themselves
and other to him, and we thought
the following clipping from an
old paper might be of value to
readers who want tangible
grounds for their faith-not mys-
tic lore hallowed by centuries of
sentimental glamour. Men were
human hundred years ago, just
as they are human to-day, and
subject to the same passions.
He wrote bad poetry.
He died of acute laryngitis.
He was generous to a fault.
He never made a set speech.
He was sensitive to all criticism.
He was the best horseman of
his time.
For three years he was a land
surveyor.
Like Lincoln, he was fond of a
good play.
Spelling was always a weak
point with him.
AS young man he fell in love
at least a dozen times.
His mouth was large, and he
had a habit of clinching his jaws.
He played cards and billiards,
and was not averse to betting.
He could swear with great vig-
or and got in towering passions
at times.
He was 6 feet 8 inches inheight,
and his hands and feet were ex-
tremely large.
His eyes were light blue verg-
ing on gray, and his hair was
dark brown.
He always questioned his own
ability, and was ready to consid-
er the advice of his friends.
He suffered from toothache,
and before his death every tooth
in his head had been extracted.
He was devoted to outdoor
sport and on the Potomac often
went out before breakfast to
shoot ducks.
His death was hastened by a
doctor, who bled him when he
was in such a week state that
such a course of action could not
but prove fatal.

Safety First Notes.

Recklessness is no indication
of courage; brave men are always
cautious.
Ty Cobb says: mo, l never
drink, it dims my batting eye. "
Never do anything that you
know is dangerous in order to
show some one else that you are
not afraid to do it.
A rusty turned up nail is in
the same class as a poisonous.rep-
tile. Turn them both down.
