WORLD HAS CHANGED LITTLE
Like Ponce de Leon, People Today
Are Apt to Believe What They
Want to Believe.

Ponce de Leon didn't originate the
Idea of a spring of eternal youth. That
was not in his mind when he sailed
Tor the new world. He sailed with
Columbus upon the latter's second trip
ind was appointed governor of Porto
Rico, where he believed gold existed
In abundance. While exploring the is
land he met an old savage, who told
him that not only was there gold to
be found in another country TO the
northward, but also there existed in
the land a spring whose waters
brought eternal youth. So the rest
less adventurer set out upon his
search and discovered Florida.
All of which is stated not because
the information is new, but to call at
tention to the fact that Ponce de Leon
believed the eternal youth proposition
because he wanted to, remarks writ
er in the Columbus Dispatch. All Of
us, to this good day, do the same
thing. We believe that which we de-
sire to believe, whether it is good or
Udu. we DellGFS lliC SSduudiS VIC hCaA
about others when we want to be-
lieve them-and we reject them If we
do not want to believe such things of
the persons connected with the scan
dial.
Further, we usually hear that which
we are DESTROYS of hearing. The willy
old savage wanted to get rid of Ponce
de Leon. He knew enough of human
nature and of Spanish nature to be
aware that gold-and youth-would
prove highly interesting to the invader.
That was what Ponce de Leon was ex-
pecting to hear-especially the story
Of gold. But the old savage, to make
the gold story all the stronger and to
lure the invader from the island all
the more surely, added the eternal
youth proposition to the story which
the explorer was expecting to hear
and thereby was he successful in rid
ding his island home of troublesome
character.

SuperstitionS.

The Woman's Press club gave q
party at an Indianapolis hotel, which
was followed by a playlet. The
woman who Lad charge of the prop
erty list, in her excitement, forgot that
a broom and dustpan were among the
articles needed At the last moment,
as the guests were arriving, she
rushed downstairs and started to enter
the elevator with the articles The
midde-aged man in charge halted her
and said:
Madam. you can't take that broom
up in this elevator"
She tried to explain that it was TO
be used in playlet and had been for
gotten, that she would tuck it away
in a corner. and if could not possibly
interfere with any ones comfort on
the trip up mo" he replied "You
can take the dustpan all right, but
woman, not for anything would take
a broom in my elevator, Why, don't
you know it is bad luck?"

Hawk Makes Fatal Mistake.

The other day the family of B. P.

a crash of breaking glass and discOv'
cred bay window broken. and flop
ping helplessly about the floor, large
hawk.
Knocked to the floor, also. was a
freshly stuffed ringneck pheasant,
Which Russell Malsbury had shot dur
ing the cunning season and had just
brought home from the taxidermist as
a gift for his mother. The stuffed
bird had been left in the bay window
while the family admired it. and the
hawk, probably sighting 1t from near
by tree, had made 100-yard swoop
for its intended prey, only to crash
through the unseen glass barrier and
injure itself fatally.

a letter from George to his brother
John, written from Fort Cumberland,
after Braddock's defeat, in which he
says:

letters by Washington which speak
plainly of two other love affairs. One,
written in 1749, to Dear Friend
your Lowland Beauty Both friend
and sweetheart are unknown.
Another letter. written in 1852 to
William Fauntleroy of Virginia says /:
'Sir Il should have been down long

ton of the former cruel sentence, and

George Washington was the John
D. Rockefeller of his day-so far as
wealth goes. John D. once said he
would rather lose thousand dollars
than be cheated out of nickel. Well
George evidently felt the same way
at least his letters SO indicate. Yet
he accepted no pay as soldier, and
pent $4,000 Cat least) of his own
.oney. He was generous as he was
cen to get what was his. He de-
ehted in good bargain. AS for effi-
ency, it was his middle name. There
ever was a better farmer and bust
ess man, and Mount Vernon was a
podel plantation.
George Washington proved himself
regular fellow In these ways, among
Tiers:
He played cards, and ordered a
Oxen packs at time; one of his ac-
cunts contains the item: Lost at
ards, s shillings."
He drank wine, beer. rum and
randy-always in moderation.
He loved horses, and imported fine
took.
He was fond of fox hunting; his
ack of fox hounds was famous; he
fore the latest and best in hunting
lothes.
He loved to fish, to shoot ducks and
b hunt deer.
He wore good clothes, and insisted
upon having them to his liking in
every detail.
In short, the real George Washing
ton was not the mythical Washington
who has been foisted on the American
school boy of past generations. The
marvel is that so human an American
was ever so mummified in a land like
America. They couldn't do it to
George when he was alive. And it will
never happen again.

the character of the Father Of His
Country"
And it is a better understanding.
For the earlier literature and history
relative to him threw about our mill
tary hero of the Revolution and our
first President such an atmosphere OF
saintliness and perfection that he
hardly seemed human being. There
was a gasp of establishment when
glimpses of the real George Washing
ton began to appear. Nobody's feel
ings were hurt. The American likes
his national heroes red-blooded. The
public was soon asking for more OF
the same, thank you. 1t got more.
And when at last it became evident
that George Washington had the max
ings of "a regular fellow" if all the
truth were known, the American peo-
pie were simply tickled to death and
the hero Of the cherry-tree fable forth
with took his rightful place in the
great American heart.
Now we know lot about the real
George Washington, and every now
and then something new sees daylight.
There is now no danger that the awe
some mantle of superhuman perfec-
ton will ever again be thrown over
him. The Americans Of the future
can know the real man.
And this is the added joy of revela-
ton. The disclosure of the mans
real nature but adds to his greatness.
With each disclosure the marvel of
the greatness of the man grows. That
he could be so human and so great
adds to his country's pride in him.
There is an old saying that no man
Is O hero to his valet. 1t is one of
those self-evident truths that we ac-
cept instinctively. Yet it is safe
wager that the written words Of To
bias Lear are true. After Washing
toms service as President and his re-
turn to Mount Vernon, his CORE
spOndence became so burdensome that
he employed Tobias Lear, native of
New Hampshire and graduate of
Harvard, as mis- secretary.
George Washington is, believe"
Lear wruIe after two years at Mount
Vernon, almost the only man of ex-
allied character who does not lose some
of his responsibility by an intimate
acquaintance. i have never found a
single thing that could lessen my re-
spect for him. A complete knowledge
Of his honesty, uprightness and cam
dor in all his private transactions has
sometimes led me to think him more
than q man."
Uncounted Americans have Rugged
themselves for sheer joy upon reading
that General Washington got so ex-
cited over the disgraceful retreat of
Gen. Charles Lee at the beginning of
the battle of Monmouth 077S) that
be cursed Lee to his face till "the
leaves curled upon the trees" and then
rode his beloved white horse to death
In averting disaster. George was the
original Sheridan at Winchester that
day. That George Washington could
see red and swear so completely that
the army was satisfied is pretty good
stuff in most parts of the u. s. A
The truth is that George was con-
siderable of fighter, and It's good
guess that he wasn't exactly unhappy
during the scrap. He got his prelim-
mary education fighting Indians-and
