Tho civic history Of Tulsa during

The grade crossing must go and they
will be eliminated wherever possible on

When the roads which form the primary

REAL WASHINGTON
INTENSELY HUMAN
BY NO MEANS THE DEMIGoD HE
HAS BEEN DEPICTED.
Admittedly of Violent Temper, but
With Strong Powers of Self-con-
trol-NaturaIly Melancholy. g.

The Father of His Country would
hardly have fancied himself in the role
of a demigOd-as folks nowadays are
disposed to regard him. He was very
human.
When a young man, his hair was de-
cidedly red. At the age of fifty he
was quite gray, and on occasions of
ceremony his locks (dOne up in a
queue) were freely powdered, as was
the custom of the day.
His teeth from early manhood gave
him a great deal of trouble They were.
in fact, badly decayed-dentistry at
that period being an undevelOped art
and this circumstance rather marred
his good looks when he smiled or
laughed.
He was also considerably pOck-
marked, having suffered an attack of
smallpox at nineteen years of age,
while in Barbados with his invalid
brother Those were days when most
people had smallpox sooner or later,
vaccination being as yet unthought of.
At fifty-seven (when inaugurated as
President in New York; he had lost
nearly all of his teeth. He then wore
false set Of hippOpOtamus ivory,
which made him very uncomfortable.
In sitting for his most famous pOr-
trait, painted by Gilbert Stuart, his
lips were padded out with a wad of
cotton.
He seems to have had little sense
of humOr, and unquestiOnably was of
a most melancholy temperament. The
dinners he gave in New York were
described by his guests as dull affairs.
AS a rule, he sat silent, rather sad of
visage, and taking little part in the
conversation. While others talked, he
would keep tap-tapping on the table
dge with fork or spOOn-a curious
abit he had.
4 He had a pronounced weakness for 4
ambling--thOugh always held in /
heck by reluctance to commit him
self imprudently. A born speculator,
he was constantly engaged in land !
deals. He subscribed to every lottery |
and rattle that came along, and would |
spend many hours at stretch with =
pack of cards, though usually lOser.
To attend and bet 0n a horse race, lie
often went to Annapolis, or even as
Jar as Philadelphia.
Spelling was by no means his fOrte.
To the end of his life he wrote "w.n-
Ter" for window, "latten" for Latin,
etc. Nor is this surprising, inasmuch
rs his education was finished in a vii
age school. The style of his penman-
;hip, so neat and clear, followed the
