Washington Ate Hoe Cakes.

There was no wheat shortage In
America when George Washington was
a wealthy Virginia planter, before the
Revolution. yet that eminent patriot
set an example in the conservation Of
flour which citizens Of today would do
well to follow, says an exchange.
Whent is not essential to satisfy
Ing meal, the food administrator points
out. Corn is an excellent substitute.
The following excerpt from Irving's
Life Of Washington" is interesting
now in view Of the agitation for q
wheatless diet:
"He was an early riser, often before
daybrenk in the winter when the
nights were long. He breakfasted ut
seven in summer. ut eight in winter.
Two small cups Of ten and three or
four cakes Of Indian meal (called hoe
cakes) formed his frugal repast."
It is said that, even in the days Of
plenty, big spreads were an infrequent
occurrence in the Washington home.

Ole Bulls COLONY
Norwepian's Dream Of Model
Home Now Scene Of Ruin.
Recalls Misplaced Confidence and
Made All the More Tragic Because
Of Splendid Ideals.

ony established by Ole Bull in Pennsyl-
vania In the late sos. The story Of
the colony, slys the Kansas City
Times, Is one Of misplaced confidence.
made all the more tragic because Of
the splendid ideals that led to its es-
tablishment.
The great Norwegian violinist, al
ways an admirer Of America, wished
to obtain location for model colony
Of his countrymen. He bought thou
sand acres Of firm of land dealers
and soon afterward brought to this
country several hundred Norwegians.
A clearing was made, the village Of
Oleana built and, in IN address to the
towns2eople, Ole Bull set forth the
hopes that had inspired his mission.
The address follows:
brothers of Norway From the
cline where the north wind has its
home; where the maelstrom roars, and
where the aurora for half the year
takes the place Of the genial sun, we
have come to find home. When we
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
us, we heard there was country in q
mllder climate where liberty dwelt and
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records. we found that our country
men, under Thor6n, had discovered
that land more than eight hundred
years ago, but that they were met by
cruel and savage Indians, and had left
no record of themselves, except some
traces Of their sad history engraven
in the rocks Of Fall river, and one tenn
pie which they raised to God on an
island Mt the mouth of Narragansett
bay. All other record Of them had
passed away.
"How different is our reception from
that which Thorfin and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
| meet us on every side, taking us by the
hand and giving us welcome to our
new home.
brothers Of Norway! We must not
disappoint this confidence, but by
lives of industry and honesty show to
our new brothers that they have not
misplaced their friendship.
"And now, to these gentlemen Of
New York and Pennsylvania, who have
so kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice in this work, return my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks, and cast
ing ourselves upon the goodness Of oul
heavenly Father, resting secure upon
his promise, let us 60 on in the daily
performance Of every duty, and ht
will bless US"
There was q pathetic aftermath
Hardly had the pioneers got we'll un
der way with their BODYBUILDING wher
1t was discovered that the violinist hat
been victimized. The company tha
sold him the land had no valid title t,
it. The people Of Oleana scattered
some Of them penniless and with few
friends in the new country. Ole Bull
with splendid loyalty to those he hat
brought to this pass, give public con
certs to raise money for their relief.

CARRIES BIG WEDDING FEAST
Father Remembers His Days Of Do.
spair When he Invites Guests for
the sumptuous Repast.

Twenty years ago Max Gootschneider
landed in New York with slim young
wife, baby girl that could just toddle,
$50 in money and a hopeful disposition.
The first few weeks in the strnnge
America was period Of such forl0rn
and homesick misery that Max never
forgot them.
And so. when Max and Mrs. Max,
no longer slim, sat in their fine house
discussing the details of a celebration
which might be suitable to signnlize
the engagement of the only daughter
Of prosperous furrier to marry rich
young diamond merchant, Max had
an idea, says the Cincinnati Times
Star.
Mamma" he said, "you remember
when we landed in New York-you
and Carrie, our baby, and me? You
remember how 1t was for us then?
Well. we shall give feast for our
daughter. Carrie, and her young man,
but we will give it to the people who
are now like we were then. Our
friends are happy. They are not hun
cry. They are not sorrowful because
there is no one to cheer them up. They
do not need a feast like the poor peo-
pie that have come from the old coun-
try. Those are the people who shall
enjoy our Carries wedding feast"
And so the feast was given, away
down in East Broadway. In the build
ing which Is occupied by the Hebrew
Immigrants Sheltering Aid society,
and which overaows nowadays with
hundreds of misery-stricken people
from the countries at war in Europe.
There was q room where $50 per
sons could eat at once. As soon rs one
crowd of $50 had finished. another
came in. There were no invitations
and no red tape. Max and Mrs. Max
and the pretty Carrie and her proud
husband-to-be stood at the door and
smilingly welcomed all who came
There was chicken and duck and goose
and gefilite fish. And everyone was
welcome to all Of everything.
