Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

April 81, 18O9-Some idea of the ex-
tent of the Indian fur trade in this part
of the United States can be obtained
from an advertisement printed today in
the National 1ntelligencer. 1t is in part
as follows:
Upward of 1000 raccoon skins Of
fered for sale at the Indian Trade
Office. Georgetown"
Ever since the earliest days Of the
Virginia and Maryland colonies the
fur trade in this section has been very
profitable, although it has not been
nearly so profitable here as it has been
in the States farther to the north.
The furs that are brought by the
Indians for trading at the office In
Georgetown for the most part come
from the upper parts of the Potomac
River and its tributaries. They have
been collected, or traded for, by the
local Indians, who get them from the
Northern and Western tribes.
In some cases the more Northern
Indians make trips down the Potomac
River with boatloads of furs, trapped
along the river, and offe~ them first
hand in the Spring in this market in
exchange for ammunition. guns, colored
cloth, beads, whisky Gf the traders will
let them have it,, sweetmeatS, knives
and various other things which the
white men make and the Indians lack.
The Indian trade was one OF the
benevolent devices of the Maryland CO.
lonial government and was designed to
supply the Indians with such articles
as they need in exchange for furS OF
various animals.
The above advertisement was inserted
in the National Intelligencer today by
Gen. John Mason, who is Superintend-
ent of the Indian trade under the new
Government. Gen. Mason Is also head
of the local militia and his time Is
much taken up with these and his other
duties.
The fur trade, of course, is not any
thing like what it used to be on the
Potomac River. AS compared with so
years ago, the number of furs which
the Indians offer in trade is very small,
indeed. Many different fur animals are
caught, but recently raccoonS have been
much more numerous and have brought
the best prices.
Many of the larger animals, such as
deer and bear, which formerly furnished
many skins useful in the trade, have
almost disappeared from this section OF
the country, although they are found
farther back in the mountains north
and west of the District OF Columbia.
The backwoodSmen still sometimes
dress in deerskin, and bear skins for
robes are not infrequently seen in trap
pers' cabins.

"N1Y UNIFORM MY SWORD" DEAD"
BY J. p. GLASS.

Marshal Serrano, the Duke de la
Tore distinguished Spanish soldier and
statesman, died at Madrid in his sew
enty-f1fth year, after long illness
which brought him, in his last IL
months, the most intense suffering.
His pain was so great that he could
not lie down, but rested all the time
him continually drugged, so that his
condition was almost akin to paralysis.
Weakened and emaciated, he could
not move without the aid of servants.
The end was near. The family ex-
pected it to come at any moment. So
his nephew, Gen. Lopez DomingueZ,
sought permission from the prime min.
lister, Senior Canovas, that the distin-
guished soldier might be buried in a
church., like the other marshalS of
Spain.
Senior Canovas took the matter to the
King, Alfonso XII, at the Prado. The
latter did not feel that he could grant
the request. Serrano was great man,
but had he not at one time set up
republic in Spain, making himself re-
gent at another? However, he did not
wish to deprive the dying man of the
military honorS which were his just due
so he sent word to Gen. Dominguez that
he would remain at the Prado and not
come into Madrid until after the obse-
quies should be concluded.
When king of Spain is at his palace
in Madrid. all honors are solely for him.
1t turned out that Alfonso was I'M
able to carry out his plans. He died
before Marshal Serrano. His body was
since procedure that ruled during his
life still held sway after death as long
as his body was not buried, Serrano did
not receive a military funeral.
In the final hours of these two great
personages, an incident Of singularity
took place.
In the darkness just before dawn of
November 26, 1885, the Marshal Ser
rano, who had been unable for weeks
to make move without assistance, sud-
denly arose, vigorous and upright, and
cried out in a loud, strong voice, Let
an orderly officer mount his horse and
ride to the Prado; the king is dead!"
At that hour not a person in Madrid
knew that Alfonso had passed away.
While he had been i'll from phthisis, it
had not been expected that he would
die quite SO soon. The end came sud-
denly, indeed, and he did not receive
the last sacrament. He was almost
alone at the time.
The marShaPs sonorous announce
ment brought doing attendants hur-
riedly to his side and aroused his wife,
the Duchess de la Tore. They saw
him fall back exhausted into his chair
Thinking that he was delirious, they
administered a calming draught.
He dozed short space. Then he
once again awakened and stood erect
This time he spoke in a weak and hol-
low voice.
MY uniform, my sword" he said
1.-THE king is dead!'
Again he collapsed into his chair. It
was apparent that he was dying. A
waiting priest was hastily brought and
he received the final sacraments and
the Pope's benediction. consultations
which had been denied the king.
These were no sooner administered
than he died.
That same morning all Madrid was

poking about this way and that way.
It is habit with Unc' Billy Postum to
poke about this way and that way. He
finds many things to eat just poklng
about. You see, Unc' Billy isn't very
particular about what he puts in his
stomach. Anything that is not too
large and that can walk, hop, fly, swim
lump, crawl or wiggle suits Unc' Billy
Postum.
Unc' Billy had caught and eaten
young water snake on the bank of the
Laughing Brook and was looking for
another when he heard light footsteps
approaching. He guessed that Reddy
Fox was not far away and Unc' Billy
promptly took to the nearest tree. Now
it Just happened that that tree was
very near another tree, branch OF
which was above the very place where
Mrs. Quack and her nest were hidden
under the broad leaf of a skunk cab
bage plant. Having climbed the tree,
Unc' Billy remained there for a while.
Then, instead of going down the trunk
of that tree. he crossed over squirrel
fashion to the next tree, using branches
of the two trees as bridge. In the
same way he crossed a third tree, and
in doing this he passed right above
Mrs. Quack.
How surprised Unc' Billy would haye
been could he have known that he was
so near to Mrs. Quack and those eggs
he so desired. But not knowing it he
might just as well have been a long,
long distance away. He was so near
and yet. for lack of knowledge, so far.
Mrs. Quack saw him when he crossed.
Perhaps you can guess how she felt.

for blends is a time honored rule that
usually applies, but there are some lit
tie girls with fair hair and blue eyes
who are never lovelier than in pink,
and some clear-eyed brunettes who are
most charming in soft tones of blue
Generally speaking, little girls can wear
almost any of the light flower petal
tones, and white is almost universally
becoming to them.
Green is important this season for
children as well as women, and there
are green's for almost every type of
blond or brunette. Usually the Slight
ly blush light green is more becoming
to the brunette than the yellower
green's, while the yellower green's are
a good selection for the girl with golden
tintS in her hair. For the perfectly
clear-skinned blond of the English
type there is a light shade of pure
green in which neither yellow nor blue
predominant that is best of all.

Ny Neighbor Says:

New shoes are sometimes diff
f1cult to polish. To make them
shine easily, brush off all dirt and
rub them with lemon juice. Let
this dry in, then blacken and
polish them in the usual way,
and they will shine beautifully.
To keep bath enamel in good
condition, always run in little
cold water first. Exceedingly hot
water is likely to make it crack
and peel off.
If overdrapes darken your
rooms have the poles extend far
enough outside of the window
casing to hang the draperies on.
When windows are small the
draperies hung in this way make
the windows look much larger,
and at the same time permit
more light to enter the rooms.
Use eggshells to wash bottles
or vinegar cruets. Crush them
fine, put them into the cruets
with warm, soapy water and
shake well. This will clean the
finest glass without scratching it.

had crossed the Smiling Pool and gone
to her nest in the little swamp on the
other side.
Mrs Quack chuckied as she settled
herself on those beautiful eggs. When
she had left them to go get something

nest was lined-feathers she had pulled
from her own breast. Now she had

she. THAT old rascal loves eggs and
now that he has seen me, he won't be
able to get eggs out Of his head. He'll

a good part of his time hunting for
