Argued With Washington

When the land for the present cap
ital was being secured the commission
ers appointed by President Washington
found 1t hard to persuade some of the
local landholders to part with their
fields. In "Walks About Washington"
an old story good enough to be true Is
told about one David Burns, a canny
Scot, who held out so long that Presi-
dent Washington personally undertook
his conversion.
But for this opportunity, Mr.. Burns,
you might have died a poor tobacco
planter" said the president.
AYE, mon," snapped Burns, "and
had We no married the Wilder Gusts,
wi all her nagurs, ye'd ha' been land
surveyor the moo and mighty poor
ane at that"
However when he learned that I'M
less he accepted the liberal terms of
fered him his land would be con-
demned and seized at an appraisal
probably much lower Burns met the
president In quite another mood and to
the final question, "Well, sir. what
have you concluded to doT astonished
every one by his prompt response:
"Whate'er your excellency wad haze
me-"
On one of his fields now stands the
White House, and an adjacent lot be

Statue by HOudUn

"WN Washingtons diary for Oct. 3.
1873, he writes that about II
o'clock after they were in bed,
Mr.. Houdon and his three young
men assistants arrived, coming by boat
from Alexandria.
During the sculptor's two weeks
stay Washington sat for a bust that
was modelled in clay, writing In his
diary full account of the method OF
mixing the plaster of paris and the
making of the molds, a process in
which he was greatly interested. He
also submitted to the unpleasant OPP
Grafton of having life mask made OF
his features in order to insure per-
feet likeness. In the presence of Mr..
Madison exact measurements of his
figure were made and full details Of
his uniform were noted to enable the
sculptor to complete his work.
"The clay bust was then left by the
sculptor at Mount Vernon, where 1t is
one of the most highly valued of all
of Mount Vernon's relics of the Father
of His Country. But the life mask
and molds of the bust Houdon himself
took to Paris. not trusting them to the
hands of his assistant, for said he,
If they are lost in the ocean am de-
termined to perish with them.
zone day during his stay at Mount
Vernon Washington was looking at
some fine horses with a view to their
purchase, but the high price asked by
the groom In charge so incensed him
that the man was promptly sent away.
Houdon, who witnessed the transac-
tino, saw with an artists eye in Wash
ington's pose and expression the very
thing needed for his statue and made
memorandum of it. On Oct. 10 Wash
ington writes: Mr.. Houdon, having
finished the business which brought
him hither, went up Monday with his
people, work and implements in my
barge to Alexandria to take passage in
the stage for Philadelphia next morn
ing
THE statue, according to agreement,
was to be finished in three years, but
was not completed until 1899. Jeffer-
son saw the work as 1t progressed and
was enthusiastic over the likeness and
Characteristic attitude that the sculp-
tor had caught."-H. A. Ogden in st.

WashingtOn's Life
In Brief

~ GORGE w WASHINGTON,
III Father of His Country,
was born on Feb. %, 1882,
In Westmoreland county, Va.
He received a common Eng
llsh education, and upon that
foundation, with the cardinal
virtues of truth, integrity and
justice, was built the structure
of his greatness. When seven
teen years of age he had become
one of the most accurate land
surveyors of his time, and year
later he was appointed public
surveyor. At the age of nineteen
he was appointed adjutant gen
eral of militia, with the rank of
major, but soon afterward re-
signed to accompany his invalid
half brother, Lawrence, to the
Barbados, where George was
Frustrated by smallpox. Law
renee died, and George thus be-
came the owner of the fine 'es-
tate Of Mount Vernon, which he
owned and occupied until his
death.
When General Braddock came
to this country in 1855 to make
war on the French, Washington
was chosen his principal aid-de-
camp and accompanied him on
the march against Fort Du-
quesne, at the site of the pres
ent city of Pittsburgh. After
Braddock's defeat and death
Washington skillfully directed
the retreat of the vanquished
troops. At the age of twenty
seven he married Mrs. Martha
Gusts, young widow, and they
took up their abode at Mount
Vernon. Washington was chosen
as a delegate to the first Cont
mental congress and in June,
1875, was appointed commander
In chief of the Continental
armies. For eight years he di-
rected the heroic forces of the
colonies In their struggle for in
dependence, and at the close of
1913, having triumphed in the
war, he retired to private life at
Mount Vernon. There he lived
the life of a gentleman farmer
paying close attention to all the
details of estate management.
When, under the constitution
of the new republic, president
was to be chosen, all eyes were
turned toward Washington as
1.-THE first American" and he
was elected by the unanimous
vote of the people, his Inaugural
ton taking place on April 30,
1889, at Federal hall. New York
city. For eight years he presided
over the affairs of the nation
with great wisdom and fidelity,
laying the permanent founda-
lions of the republic. Retiring
again to private life, he enjoyed
domestic happiness for nearly
three years, and then suddenly,
on Dec. II. 1883. the country was
called upon TO mourn his death,
after On illness of about twenty
four hours. His last words We're,
at is well"'

Washinaton's Birthday.

The date of Washington's birthday
was, according to the calendar at the
time Of his birth, Feb. IL. This became
Feb. % when the GregoTian calendar
was adopted in 1852. The first place to
use the new date in celebrating the
event is said to have been Newport,
R. l. As late as ITS Washington him
self apparently used the old style in "a
ferring to his birthday.

telling her pupils something about

asked:
Can any one now tell me which

The small son of fisherman raised

TOMB of the mighty dead,
How sacred every tree
Waving above thy head
Or shedding bloom on theel
AS long as fair Potomac flows,
Sparkling meath MountVernons sun,
Revered by friends and foes,
Dwell here, in blest repose,
Washington.
CONS of the pilgrim sires,
~ Sons of yon boundless west,
Ye whom the tropic fires
Or hoarse lakes lull to rest,
If wandering wide you e'er forget
Ties that bind us all in one,
Here, at your fathers feet,
The brothers vow repeat,
While the breeze respondent sweet,
Washington!
I'VE of Helenas rock
H Hath an enduring name
Echoed in battle shock,
Sculptured with blood and
name.
But, when the mother at her knee
Whispers to her graded son
The alphabet of liberty,
Will he not lisp of thee,
Washington
CHOULD baleful discord steal
~ Our patriot strength away,
Or fierce invasion's zeal
Recall old Bunker's day,
Or mad disunion smite the tree
Nursed so long in glory's sun,
Mount Vernon's tomb shall be
The watchword of the free,
Guiding their hearts to thee,
