PICTURESQUE NEW ORLEANS
By Mr.. E. D. S.

time-worn phrase, go West, young
man, go West" let's give due con-
sideration to the sunny and quaint, old
Southern states and the crescent mecca of
the South, the city of New Orleans,
Louisiana, The place some people refer
to, as the "Creole City,. with its historical
French mansions and Southern hospitality
for all.
Frankly speaking the city of New Or
leans is in reality, wonderful, and inter-
esting place, and should be visited by
everyone who can spare the necessary
time and money. am quite positive that
if you go to New Orleans you will be well
repaid for your visit
Take for instance, the construction of
the numerous modern skyscrapers of the
congested business sections of the city, in
beauty of architectural design, and height,
it truthfully can be stated that they sur
pass those to be found in our Twin
Cities" today. Then again the city has
several principal avenues, and streets of
historical origin. Many are the quaint
and picturesque by-ways and passages to
be found in various quarters of the city.
In regard to that exceedingly vital
item, navigation, New ORLEANS has enor-
nous, fllly competent, and up-to-date
shipping facilities. With its twelve miles
of wharfs, or dock space situated in var
ious parts Of the city, it can quite easily,
and does accommodate total of some
forty-fve steamship lines. The majority
of the ships which enter its docks, are
from foreign ports, but there are Ameri-
can steamships, such as the White Star
steamships (the Morgan line), the Clyde
line of steamships, and numerous others.
Several of the steamships and liners, of
large dimensions, transport passengers, as
we'll as several thousand punches of bana-
mas, pineapples, cocoanuts, and other tropi-
cal fruits. Some of this fruit comes from
the city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and
from Matanzas, Cuba, the Philippine Is
lands, and other distant ports.
In 1911 and again in 1915 the volume
of foreign shipping trade, through New
Orlenas, was exceeded only by New York.
The World war in Europe (1914-1S) cut
off temporarily, much of its former trade,
but in 1918 it ranked as the sixth port of
the United States.
One of the things desire to mention is
the method of unloading the. fruit steamers
at the docks in New Orleans. During my
last visit to the city in the middle part of
1918 l had occasion to visit one of the
several docks and viewed the unloading
of fruit steamer, which had just started
unloading its cargo of bananas. 1t APP
peared to me as stood within reserved
distance from the steamer, that the bana-
mas seemed to come in an endless stream
from the forward hold of the steamer by
means of a contrivance, run by electricity,
that is known as belt conveyor. 1t con-
sisted of very strong canvas about hve
feet wide, and of sufficient length to reach
down into the hold of the ship. 1t then
appears to be roll belt, and is attached
to iron rollers which are so constructed as
TO revolve on "a pinion with cogwheel

GEORGE WASHINGTON
By John d. Sherman

~ EORGE washington was mucn-
quoted statesman in the senate of
the last congress on the League of
Nations. The influence of his life acts
and utterances is increasing with our bet
ter understanding of 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 military hero of
the Revolution and our first President such
an atmosphere of saintliness and perfec-
ton that he hardly seemed human being.
There was gasp of astonishment when
glimpses of the real George Washington
began to appear. Nobodys feelings 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
makings of "a regular fellow" if all the
truth were known, the American people
were simply tickled to death and the hero
of the cherry-tree fable forthwith 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 awesome man.
tie of superhuman perfection will ever
again be thrown over him. The Ameri-
cans of the future can know the real man.
And this is the added Joy of revelation.
The disclosure of the mans real nature
but adds to his greatness. With each dis
closure 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
a hero to his valet. 1t is one of those self
evident truths that we accept instinctively.
Yet it is safe wager that the written
words of Tobias Lear are true. After
Washingtons service as President and his
return to Mount Vernon, his correspond
ence became so burdensome that he en-
ployed Tobias Lear, a native of New
Hampshire and graduate of Harvard, as
his secretary.
George Washington is, / believe" Lear
wrote after two years at Mount Vernon,
"almost the only man of exalted character
who does not lose some of his respectability
by an intimate acquaintance. have
never found single thing that could les
sen my respect for him. A complete
knowledge of his honesty, uprightness and
candor in all his private transactions has
sometimes led me to think him more than
man."
Uncounted Americans have hugged
themselves for sheer JOY upon reading that
George Washington got so excited over
the disgraceful retreat of Gen. Charles
Lee at the beginning of the battle of Mon
mouth (1778) that he 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 consider
able of fighter, and it's good guess that

scrap. He got his preliminary education
fighting Indians-and this old world never
saw a better natural fighter than the
American redskin. He admitted then that
he found Something charming" in the
sound of the bullets whistle. In the Vir-
ginia state library at Richmond is letter
from him to Governor Benjamin Harrison
of Pennsylvania under date of May 8,
1882, which says:
"No nation has ever yet suffered, in
treaty, by preparing, even in the hour of
negotiation, most vigorously for the ield."N
Here's Theodore Roosevelt's "Speak
softly and carry big stick"
The old idea of George Washington
used to be that he hadn't glimmer of
humor in his makeup. Don't you think it
In the Virginia collection is letter from
George to his brother John, written from
Fort Cumberland, after Braddock's defeat,
in which he says:
"Dear Brother: AS have heard, since
my arrival at this place, of circumstan-
tial account of my death and dying speech,
take this early opportunity of contradict
ing the first and assuring you that I have
not as yet composed the latter"
Here's Mark Twain's famous telegram:
"The- report of my death is greatly exag-
gerated."
When Thomas Jefferson was governor
of Virginia, Washington wrote to him in
high-Aown verbiage, teeming with apollo
gies and references to "your excellencies
DESIRES" beseeching the immediate ship
ment of -four and clothing for the soldiery,
or the money with which to procure the
same. Accompanying this official docu-
ment, however, there was personal note
which began: "My Dear Thomas" In it
Washington suggested that Jefferson send
"a quantity of liquor" to him. "The men
are deserting by hundreds" he added.
Then, jestingly: "If something is not done
in this direction forwith myself shall be
tempted to desert, also."
Washington, as an ardent lover is some
thing new, again. This side of the man
is not in evidence in the middle-aged hus
band of Martha Washington (the widow
Curtis) Yet they tell in Williamsburg
that George offered his hand when he was
young surveyor to Mary Cary-and was
turned down cold by the proud beauty.
Later, when the brilliant young officer
came back riding at the head of his men,
Mary swooned away.
Then there was Mary Phillipse, an ex-
quisite damsel of Fairfax county, whom
he wooed most vigorously.
In the Virginia collection are two letters
by Washington which speak plainly of
, two other love affairs. One, written in
1749, to "Dear Friend Robin" speaks of
his passion for your Lowland Beauty"
Both friend and sweetheart are unknown.
Another letter, written in 1882 to Will
liam Fauntleroy of Virginia says:
"Sir:-I should have been down long
before this, but my business in Frederick
detained me somewhat longer than ex-
pected, and Immediately upon my return
from thence l was taken with violent
pleurisy which has reduced me very low;
but purpose, as soon as l recover my
strength, to wait on Miss Betsy, in hopes
of revocation of the former cruel SEN
tence, and see if I cannot win any altera-
ton in my favor. I have enclosed letter
to her."
