very frequent guest at the Carlyle
house and one can easily imagine the
part he played in that atmosphere of
bounteous hospitality and courtiy
grace.
Tradition has II that II was IN that

Of his few defeats. On the right of

upon n certain evening, and, while es-
corting her 10 the ballroom. offered
that lady his heart and was refused.
On the opposite side Of this same
hall Is the blue and white ROOM"
which was John Carlyle's particular
retreat or sanctum. That room is Of
especial interest 10 us as n nation for
it was there that Washington re-
Ceived his commission as Il member
Of General Braddock's staff in 1853.
What Washington learned upon that
disastrous campaign against the In
dianS and with British soldiers taught
him much which later he put TO good
service in behalf Of his country.
Braddock Took Possession.
When Braddock arrived he accept
ed the prof'ered hospitality of John
Carlyle and established headquarters
there. The little blue and white room
became the military council chamber,
and it was there that the plans were
made for the campaign. WashingtOn's
previous experience as Il leader Of Vir-
ginia troops against the savages made
him all the more welcome Mt the con-
ferences, and his keen Judgment and
practical advice earned for him Brad
docks admiration and won for him his
cOlonelcy upon the generals staff.
We who count our dollars and make
our purchases in hard coin but little
realize the part the "vile weed" played
in all commercial transactions in Vir-
ginia $50 years ago. The fragrant
OrOnoko tobacco had fame which
reached to Europe, and this was the
common medium Of exchange. The
incense of this leaf, as It were, bought
the English bricks with which old
Christ church in Alexandria was built
in 1878. The church was designed, so
It has been said, by one James Wren,
reputed to have been relative of the
architect of LOndon's famous st.
Paul's. Washington wOrshiped at
Christ church. History tells us that
it was within the shadow of that sa-
cred structure. after services one Sun
day morning in the summer of 1774,
that he earnestly advocated the renun-
citation of allegiance to the king of Eng
land. Always deliberate and intensely
devout, one can gather something Of the
spell which his words must have cast
upon his fellow churchmen upon that
occasion.
There are many houses in Alexan-
dria today that were in their prime
when Washington was in their midst
and closely identified with them not
only socially but officially intermit-
tently during his youth and just prior
to his death.

= HE one hundred and eighty
PT sixth anniversary of the
birth Of George Washington
n reminds one OF many things
- and among them the fact that
ES ~ the cost of living was an eco
- nomical problem in Washing
toms day. as it is now. Fur
ther, the first president set an eX-
ample which is being followed today
IN some sections Of the country with
all the acclaim of something new. The
markets which are being opened for the
purpose Of bringing the farm products
10 the consumer, to the exclusion of
the middleman, are by no means a
twentieth century invention. Most
people don't know that George Wash
Ington essaycd truck gardening and
the maintenance Of Il market wagon,
to the no small blessing but the so
cial diSmay of some AleXandrians, but
II is fact.
We read so much Of the "grOaning
board" stpaming joints Of luscious
fare Of all sorts in the days of colo
nial plenty, that we think the period
a time of feasting and unlimited alHn-
dance, and recall but few of the hard
ships, of which there were many. It
was to provide variety and to make
his neighbOrs more satisfied with their
lot that Washington sent his market
wagon Just once in so often to Alex
v,ritb h, Itra nf
the farmyard and the field Of Mount
Vernon. History does not tell us
whether Washington reached the
hearts Of his associates more speedily
by the short route of their stOmachs,
but there is no doubt that his wise
forethought brought him both graft
tudc and substantial reward.
The Cart Gees to Town.
Old Parson Weems, who has chatted
so glibly about life in Alexandria, tells
as that there was a time there when
Che town had more reason to boast Of
its beauty than its capacity to glad
den the inner man. To quote that rev.
erend chronlcIer:
The neighbOrhOOd of Belle Haven
6such was AleXandria's early name)
Sas not a desert; on the contrary. it
was in many places a garden spot
hbounding with luXuries. But its in
habitants, the wealthy, were not WISE
BY the successful culture of tobacco
they had money. And having filed
their coach houses with gilt car
riages and their dining rooms with
gilt glasses, they began to look down
upon the poorer sort and to talk about
families. OF course it would never
do for such people to run market
carts, Hence the poor Belle Haven
ties. though embOSOmed in plenty, were
often in danger of gnawing their nails.
And unless they could cater a lamb
from some go0d-natured cracker or
n leash of chickens from the Sunday
negroes, were obliged to sit down with
long faces to a half-graccd dinner of
salt meat and journey cake.
"This was the order Of the day, A. D.
59, %7len Washington, just married
20 the wealthy young widow Custis,
had settled at Mount Vernon, nine
miles below Belle Haven. The un-
pleasant situation of the families at

positions, he was arrested.

| that place soon reached his ears. To
Il man of his character, with too much
spirit to follow bad example when he
had the power TO set good one, and
too much wit TO look for happiness
anywhere but in his own bosom, it
could not long be questionable what
part he had to act.
"A market cart was instantly con-
structed and regularly three times
week sent Off TO Belle Haven filed
with nice roasterS, kidney-covered
lamb and veal green geese fat ducks
and gobblers, chickens by the basket,
fresh butter, new-laid eggs, vegetables
and fruit of all sorts. Country gen
tlemen dining with their friends in
town very soon remarked the welcome
change in 0iet. Bless us all exclaim-
ed they, what's the meaning of
this? You invite us to family fare
and here you have given us a lord
mayors feast Yea replied the 9th
ers, thank God for sending a Colonel
Washington into our neighborhood.'
THE cat was thus let out of the
bag, to the extreme modification Of
the Little Great ones that Colonel
Washington should ever have run

Famous Carlyle House.
The market where Washington sent
his farm products lay right in the
heart of Alexandria and upon a square
about which stood some of the towns
most noted residences and landmarks.
Among these was the Carlyle house.
and despite the passage of time and
the physical changes wrought in that
quaint Virginia city, this historic home
survives intact today. The Carlyle
house is intimately identified with
Washington's career and particularly
with the very beginning of his mill
tary calling.
AS the story goes, the bricks for the
building were imported and so. too, the
stone of which 1t was built in 1892
John S. Carlyle utilized for part
of the foundation a portion Of
an old fort which many years earlier
had stood guard against the Indians
for the protection of English traders
on Hunting Creek as the place was
then known. The barracks of that ad-
vance post of civilization became the
cellar of the Carlyle house. and there /

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood In, the body passes thru
the Kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role In health or disease. By some mys-
teriOus process the kidney selects what
ought TO come out Of the blood and
takes II out. If the kidneys are not
gOOd-workmen and become cOngested-
pOlsOns accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbagO, rhen-
matlsm or gOut. The urine Is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
SO IL Is that DIR. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel und Surgical Institute in buffalo,
n. Y, advises washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then If you want
