stereotyped copies Of the young
Mans Companion" which was the
guide of his boyhood.
At Mount Vernon he had a very de-
cent collection of books, but his read
ing seems to haXe been restricted
mainly to works on farming and milf
tary science. How he managed to
evolve the classic literary style that
marks his public and private writings
is a puzzle not easy to solve.
The discussion here attempted, how
ever, is not Of WashingtOn's many per-
fections, but Of his human weaknesses
to show that, like the rest Of us,
he was far from godlike. This most
admirable Of men had certainly ter
rife temper. He could swear on oc-
casions with alarming emphasis. A
story, well authenticated, is that he
pitilessly beat an Alexandria butcher
with horsewhip because the meat
merchant had exposed for sale deer
that was recognized by the master Of
Mount Vernon as killed on his own
plantation.
In 1859, few months after his mar
riage, he wrote: Il am now, believe,
fixed at this seat with an agreeable
partner for life; and l hope to find
more happiness in retirement than l
have ever experienced amidst the wide
and bustling world"
Note, If you please, that Washington
was then only twenty-seven years old.
Yet his attitude Of mind was elderly,
with a touch of sadness.
On his return to Mount Vernon,
after the war, he wrote to Lafayette:
II called to mind that was now de-
scending the hill had been fifty-twO
years in climbing, and that, though
blessed with a good constitution, |
was Of short-lived family, and might
soon expect to be entOmbed in the man.
siop Of my fathers. But ! will not re-
pine. l have had my day."
Think of writing in such terms at
fifty-two years of age Ia time Of life
at which men nowadays consider that
they have barely reached their hey
day. Washington, as matter OF fact,
had still fifteen years to live, eight OF
which were to be spent in administer
ing the affairs of the nation as its
President.
But he was always a melancholy man.
For many years before his death the
prospect of his departure from this
world seems to have been constantly
in his mind. Whence, presumably, the
great interest he took in the removal
Of the old family burial vault at Mount
Vernon, which was being undermined
by an underground stream.

Amerlca,s Predominant Figure.

One hundred and ninety years have
elapsed since George Washington was
born. One hundred and twenty-thfee
years have elapsed since he died. He
never saw railway locomotive, a
steamboat or an electric light. But
he still lives as the predominant figure
Of American history and the annals Of
American craftsmanship record no
state paper that even approximately
compares with his farewell address.

little danger of his defeat.
In the recent House fight over the

dent and the department regarded as
wise. Although most members of his
party voted to cut the enlisted force,
Mr.. Padgett opposed 1t, declaring his
