letters by Washington which speak

George Washington was the John
ID. Rockefeller of his day--so far as
wealth goes. John ID. once said he
would rather lose a thousand dollars
than be cheated out of n nickel. Well,
George evidently felt the same way (;
at least his letters so indicate. Yet
he accepted no pay as soldier, and
spent $4,000 Cat leasD of his own
money. He was generous as he was
keen to get what was his. He de-
lighted In a good bargain. AS for eff
cheney, 1t was his middle name. There
never was better farmer and bust
ness man, and Mount Vernon was a
model plantation.
George Washington proved himself
regular fellow In these ways, among
others:
He played cards, and ordered a
dozen packs at time one Of his ac-
counts contains the item; Lost at
cards, shilllngs."
He drank wine, beer, rum and
brandy-always in moderation.
He loved horses, and imported fine
stock.
He was fond of fox hunting; his
pack of fox hounds was famous; he
wore the latest and best in hunting
clothes.
He loved to fish, to shoot ducks and
to hunt deer.
lie 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 land like
America. They couldn't do IL TO
George when he was alive. And 1t will
never happen again.

increasing WIN our
better understanding of
the character of the Father of His
| Country"
And II is 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
! sa'ntliness and perfection that he
| hardly seemed n human being. There
was gasp Of establishment when
| gllmpses 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 1t 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 a 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 hero to his valet. 1t Is one of
those self-evident truths that we ac-
cept instinctively. Yet 1t Is a 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, l believe"
Lear wrote after two years CT Mount
Vernon, almost the only man of ex-
allied character who does not lose some
of his responsibility by an intimate
acquaintance. l have never found q
single thing that could lessen my re-
spect for him. A complete knowledge
of his honesty, uprightness and can
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 1778) that
ne cursed Lee to his face till "the
leaves curied upon the trees" and then
rode his beloved white horse to death
In avertlng 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 Y. 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
