After the revolution Washington's in

At first General Washington thought
of tearing down the old building and
erecting a more pretentious dwelling
of suitable proportions to meet the re-
auirements, but he finally decided to
enlarge he cottage.
This he did In 1875, by adding a
spacious banquet hall at one end and
a library and bedroom at the other.
The pitch of the room was changed
and dormer windows arranged TO
make the attic available for sleeping
apartments, these improvements result

after was dignifed by the term IMAM

The Source of "You ALL.

In a recent Sunday edition there
we're citations from the Old and New
Testaments and from Shakespeare,
wherein the expression ''you all" and
similar expressions were used, quoted
in justification thereof. Allow me to
add a classical authority, no less than
Cicero, who repeatedly used the ex-
preston "vos omnes"-"you ALL" Just
as this is of the Augustan age of La
Unity, it's high water mark in litera-
ture, so "you all" is English of the
purest type. l once was ashamed of
the speech of our southern mountain
GERS, thinking that it arose from ig-
norance and lack of cultivation, but l
have since realized that they were
speaking a purer type Of English than
were our college men, believing, as l
now do, that the nearer the source the
purer the issue therefrem.-Letter t.

tive. The government purchased q
number of Washington relics many
years ago. Among the present collec-
ton at Mount Vernon are many pieces
Of furniture of contemporaneous inter
est which have been accepted tempo
rarily to fill vacancies in the various
rooms, but as rapidly as original Wash
ingtOn articles are secured the non
original are eliminated.
Until recently the owners have had
nothing definite to guide them respect
ing what the rooms formerly con-
tanned, but there has now been found
the inventory made by the appraisers
Of Washington's effects shortly after
he died. This important document will
be of inestimable assistance in accu-
rately refurnishing the mansion.
Studying Mount Vernon from the
viewpoint of a casual visitor, it Is
difficult to conceive Of a more charm
ing spot. The perpetuation is attrib-
utable to the management and devo-
ton of the Ladies' association. The
founder Of this remarkable body was

CHAPTER Ill.

K. LIE Moyne had wakened early that
first morning in his new quarters. Be
cause he was young and very strong,
he Weakened to q certain lightnesS of

prepared for the office. He told him

clothing, that, having sought for peace

course, that he came of a fighting
stockholders and explorers, even a
gentleman adventurer or two, had been
his forefathers. He loathed peace with
a deadly loathing.
Having given up everything else, K.
LIE Moyne had also given up the love
of woman. That, of course, is figura-
tive. He had been too busy for wom-
en-, and now he was too idle. A small
part of his brain added figures in the
office of gas company daily, for the
sum Of two dollars and fifty cents per
eight-hour working day. But the real
*. LIE Moyne, that had dreamed dreams,
had nothing to do with the figures, but
sat somewhere in his head and Knocked
him as he worked at his task.
He breakfasted at Mrs. McKee's.
The food was rather good, certainly
plentiful; and even his squeamish
| morning appetite could find no fault
with the self-respecting tidiness of the
place. Some of the "mealers"-the
Streets name for them-Ventured on
various small familiarities of speech

scrupulously polite but reserved. He
was determined not to let the Street
encroach on his Wretchedness. Because
he had come to live there was no rea-
son why it should adopt him. But he
was very polite. When the deaf-and-
dumb book agent wrote something on a
pencil pad and pushed it toward him,
he replied in kind.

WASHINGTON Fond of Fine Horses.

General Grant has gone into his
tory as the man on horseback, but all
our presidents were very fond Of rid
ing. Most Of Washington's portraits
are equestrian. and old citizens of
Alexandria were responsible for the
statement that Washington rode the
finest horses in Virginia, and that as
a boy he broke to saddle the colts of
his neighborhOOd. It is said that he
once rode ten different horses into
Alexandria in a single week, and dur
ing his later years his stables at
Mount Vernon were among the best
in the country.

What A JEWELRY firm DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

s. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance or the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 240 acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure In advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province of AL
berta, Canada, this year O916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of "A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. l Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.S5 per bushel, making a total return
of $19,610, or an average of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of C. A. Wright Of Milo,
Iowa, who bought $50 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $1,000 in December,
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of

ness man, gives the cost of work. and

" v renee Washington, was alb
sent from home, the father
| rebuilt a house at Mount Vernon for
him, and this now forms the central
part of the mansion. On his return,
| Lawrence brought to the home his
young bride, the beautiful Miss Fair
fax, daughter of his neighbor, Colonel
! Fairfax of Belvoir, an adjoining es-
tate. Lawrence called the place Mount
friend, Lord Vernon, under whom he
had served in the navy.
Shortly after the death of Lawrence
Washington, his daughter Sarah died
without heirs, and the Mount Vernon
| estate passed by will into the hands
| of General Washington. In order to
acquire full title, he purchased from
| the widow of Lawrence her dover
rights. HencefOrth he was sole own
| er OF the estate; an estate which had
| been in the family since it's acquisi-
ton by grant In 1910, and which re-
manned III the family until sold in
1858 by John Augustine Washington
| to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as
| ISOLATION.
These facts, which shed some inter
| esting light on the early history of
| Mount Vernon, were obtained by Mr.
Callahan after constant study of the
| old official records of the courts and
vestry books of the counties in this
| part of Virginia. They establish be-
yond all doubt the truth which is that
| the central part Of the Mount Vernon
| mansion was built by General Wash
| ingtOn'S father, that General Washing
ton lived there for two years when a
baby, and that his father built what
| is now the most conspicuous landmark
on the place-the old barn.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few months have had opportunity
| to witness the interesting work of re-
roofing WashingtOns old home, the
| historic mansion wherein he died It
| is learned that this is the fourth time
| the roof has been shingled, the other
| dates being 1912, 1885 and 1860. In
| each instance the material selected and
used was the best cypress shingles.
| A short historical review of the con-
struction and alteration of this old
| dwelling may be worth notice, as few
among the many visitors happen upon
| information on the subject. The cen
| trail portion of the present building was
erected in 1923 for Maj. Lawrence
| Washington, who named it the Mount
| Vernon Villa" out Of respect for Ad-
miral Edward Vernon of the British
navy, under whom he had been serving
| in South America. This modest cot
tage, or villa, consisted of four rooms
on the ground floor, with bedrooms
! and an unfinished attic above.
At the death of Lawrence Washing
ton, 1852, the property fell to the own
ership of his half-brother, George, who,
in 1775, added to the attractiveness of
the interior by paneling the hall and
ha ing the ceilings of the parlor and
dining room decorated in stucco.

Gently come TO light by the temporary
uncovering of a portion of the east
porticO roof, which for the better she'd
ding of rain, had been slightly changed
in 1860, revealing a few courses of the
shingles OF 1743 and 1885. These
mute reminders of the past are now
again sealed from view and so pro-
tected as to remain intact as long us
the mansion shall endure.
When the Mount Vernon Ladies' as
ISOLATION came into possession of the
homestead the mansion was empty.
Unceasing effort has been and is be-
ing made to recover the original
things, but they are widely scattered
and held by people who are reluctant
to give them up. From time to time,
however, some of the old pieces are Of
fered for sale, but as general rule,
the prices asked are almost prohibit
