II would guard you, too, against

Few of our great men have es-
capped the foul tongue and poisoned
pen of those who seek out the bad
rather than the good in people, but
as to George Washington, it is uni
versally agreed that what Mark
Antony said regarding Julius Caesar
more appropriately fits the illustrious
Washington than it does the Roman
Emperor. Says Shakespeare.
"His life was gentle, and the ele-
ments so mixed in him that Nature
might stand up and say to all the
world; This was a man."

n. TAKES MURAL BY DIPLOMAT
American Wife Has
Been Resident of
Washington

The painting shows Ouserhat
seated with his mother and wife
under the shade of large sycamore
tree, in the branches of which are
birds painted most realistically.
There are also strange birds with
human heads. representing the
souls Of the dead which are dis
embodied.
On the right side is q goddess
presenting a platter of bread and
fruits as q refreshing libation. She
stands beside a pool at which are
two little souls who are drinking
from it.
On the road from this world to
the world of the dead the deceased
meets kindly Goddess Hator Cor
Multi, who gives him food and
water. It is probable that the &C
ceptance of this food and water, as
is the case in so many religions of
different people. signifies that there
will be no return to the world Of
the living and that immortality has
been conferred on the person ac-
cepting the gift. This may also be
compared with the Christian con-
ception of communion.
They believed that by sharing the
food of the immortals the partaker
thereof himself became immortal.
In the painting water flowing
down the urn is represented by
double blue and. white lines which
run into the golden cup of the
Pharoah, whose mother stands be-
hind him. The goddess is repre-
sented on q square upon which are
lines representing waves, as If the
water were seen from above. They
were painted in this manner be-
cause ancient Egyptians illustrated
the idea rather than the actual
INSTALLATION, and it was their
method to show that the goddess
was standing on water.

this he read sermons and other sa-
cred writings on that day.
He was never disposed to conviv-
iality and never INDUCED in a game
of chance except to make up a
party at whist, in playing for a
trifle-about as great a crime today
as one would commit in playing
penny ante. For many years before
his death no card games were played
in his household.
He did not swear nor use pro-
family, as he has been accused Of.
1t is unreliably stated he swore at
Monmouth when Gen. Lee was
found retreating. If he did, no one
should blame him. AS matter OF
history, he detested it In others and
refused to tolerate it anywhere. If
there ever was man who would
have been justified in doing many of
the things which he really never
did but which he could have done
with perfect propriety that man was
George Washington.

The world admits he was great
general and a brave soldier, and we
love and revere him because he,
more than any one else, achieved
for us American independence.
Speaking of his bravery in arms,
it is recorded that the night before
the Battle of Monmouth, group
of general officers assembled, and
resolved upon a memorial to be
drawn up and presented to Wash
ington, praying that he would not
expose his person in the approach
ing engagement. This course was
suggested by his contempt for dan
ger at the Battle of Princeton. and
again at Germantown, where officers
seized the bride of his horse to keep
him from being wounded and per-
haps killed. DR.. Craik, who was to
present the memorial to the general,
assured them such would be useless
and it was not presented. But it
showed the great love and devotion

may be asked: And why was the
ministry of religion wanting, to shed
its peaceful and benign luster upon
the last hours of Washington? Why
was he, to whom the observance of
sacred things were ever primary
duties through life, without their
consultations in his last moments?
We answer, circumstances did not
permit. 1t was but for little while
that the disease assumed so threat
ening a character as to forbid the
encouragement of hopes; yet, to
stay that summons which none may
refuse, to give still further length of
days to him whose. ime-nonored
life was so dear to mankind, prayer
was not wanting to the throne of
grace. Close to the couch of the
sufferer, resting her head upon that
ancient book with which she had
been wont to hold pious communion
portion of every day for more than
half century, was the venerable
consort absorbed in silent prayer,
and from which she only arose when
the mourning group prepared to bear
her from the chamber of the dead"
The funeral services, which were
under Masonic auspices, took place
on December 18, and the greatest of
all Americans rested for many years
in the old vault at Mount Vernon
in a mahogany coffin lined with
lead. soldered at the joints, and the
cover likewise secured From the
old tomb the body was moved to the
present one in 1881, and the re-
mains of the great patriot and his
consort were placed in the sarcoph-
agus, as we see them today, in 1887.
It has been a great many years
since this outstanding American
mingled in the flesh with the rest
of mankind, but his virtues are still
enshrined within the hearts and
minds of all true lovers of freedom,
and his sincerity of purpose, his
genuine loyalty and the sacrifices he
made for the good of his people well
deserve the title bestowed upon him
as Father of His Country.

pared and ordered some vinegar and
hot water for him to inhale the

any noticeable improvement.

his hand and was raised up He
then said to the physicians, II feel
myself going; I thank your for your
attentions; but pray you to take
no more trouble about me. Let me
go off quietly. cannot last long"
He lay down again and all retired
except DR.. Craik.
About o'clock the physicians
came again into the room and ap-
piled blisters and cataplasms of
wheat bran to his legs and feet, after
which they went out, except DR..
Craik, without a ray of hope.
About 10 o'clock he made several
attempts to speak to Mr.. Lear, who
was with him nearly all the time,
and at length he said: Il am just
going. Have me decently buried and
do not let my body be put into the
vault in less than three days after
I am dead"
Mr.. Lear bowed assent. He spoke
again to Mr.. Lear and said, do you
understand me?" Mr.. Lear replied,
Yes" "'Tis WELL" he said.
About 10 minutes before he ex-
pired (Which was 1929 o'clock his
breathing became easier. He lay
quietly; he withdrew his hand from
Mr.. Lear's and felt his own pulse.
Il saw his countenance change" his
secretary tells us. Il spoke to DR..
Craik, who sat by the fire. He came
to the beside. The generals hand
fell from his wrist. I took it in mine
and pressed it to my bosom. DR..
Craik put his hands over his eyes
and he expired without a struggle
or sigh"
While all were silent in grief, Mrs.
Washington, who was sitting at the
foot of the bed, asked DR.. Craik in
a firm and collected voice: "Is he
gomez" The physician was unable to
speak, but held up his hand as a
signal that he was no more. ""Tis
WE'LL" said she, in the same voice;
"all is now over; shall soon follow
him, I have no more trials to pass
through
And thus the noble spirit of the
illustriods Washington took its
flight, December ID, 1799..
What Mr.. Custis has to say re-
garding Washington's last minutes
on earth are of added interest, since
he was an eyewitness to all that
transpired. He tells us:
THE patient bore his acute suffer-
ing with manly fortitude and perfect
resignation to the Divine will; while
as the night advanced, it became
evident that he was sinking and he
seemed fully aware that his hour
was nigh He inquired the time
and it was answered. He spoke no
more-the hand of death was upon
him and he was conscious that his
hour was come With surprising
possession he prepared to die.
Composing his form at length and
folding his hands upon his bosom
without sigh-without groan-
the Father of His Country expired
quietly as though an infant died.

Former Secretary

Andre Cattaui, former Third Sec
retary Of the Egyptian Legation in
Washington, has the distinction OF
being one of the few members Of the
diplomatic corps who has been sue
cessful in making profession OF
a hobby. His painting, q scene OF
the tomb of Ouserhat in Upper
Egypt. has been purchased by the
present Egyptian Minister, NAH
moud Hassan Bey, and now hangs
in the entrance hall at the Lega-
ton. It is a mural, rich in color
and design, 10 feet in length and Z
feet high.
Mr.. Cattaui, who is interested in
the history Of ancient Egypt, also is
q brilliant musician, lecturer and
playwright, as well as an artist.
Coming from an ancient and hon.
ored family in Egypt, he has had
an outstanding and varied diplor
matte career. He represented his
country as Attache In Spain and in
Turkey, and as Third Secretary in
America. About two years ago he
was transferred to the Egyptian Le-
cation in The Hague, and a year
later joined the ministry in Cairo.
Recently he has .been appointed
head of the Egyptian Tourist Bu-
reau in New York City. He is mar
ried to an American, the former
Catherine McCord of Washington.
The ancient Egyptians believed
that when people died their souls
flew out of the tomb in the form of
q bird with a human head. The
deceased then walked toward
hill where he would meet the God.

only mounted officer left on the
field. "a officers having been killed
and wounded. Here his horse was
shot from under him, and he was
extricated with much difficulty from
the dying animal which had
pinioned him down. A second mount
being supplied, he continued to
fight with dashing bravery. 1t was
here that his wanton fearlessness
caused the Indian chief to exclaim to
his warriors: Fire at him no more;
see ye' not that the Ghost Spirit
protects that chief; he cannot die
in battle"
In the National Museum there
are ever so many relics of WASH
ington, including the marques used
by him throughout the Revolution.
These old tents are still in a good
state of preservation. Here Is also
his suit-the one he wore when he
resigned his commission as Com
mander in Chief of the Army, at
Annapolis, Md; his camp equip
ment, and many interesting re-
minders of the illustrious Father
Of His Country, including the little
garment in which he was christened.
Washington was a real man.
There was nothing canny or arti-
ficial about him. He danced, but
was not particularly fond of it;
rather did so because it was proper
for every well-bred American of his
day to do.
At the first inaugural ball, Mrs.
Peter Van Brook Livingston and
Mrs. Hamilton were successfully
honored by the chieftain in a cotil-
lion, and it Is said he afterward
danced minuet with Miss Van
Zandt, and that there was dignity
and grace in every movement of
this accomplished man." Indeed,
these qualities extended to the
drawing room, where few could sur
pass him in the ceremonies of state.
Washington liked horses-good
horses-and 1t is known that there
was a rivalry between him and Col.
Bryd as to who could produce the
best equipages.
Washington enjoyed a good play,
and occasionally was seen at the
theater. When he entered his
private box, the band invariably
played first, "Hail Columbia" writ
ten by Files in 1889, and which
was then known as the "Presi-
dents March" After this the au-
dience always insisted upon having
the band play George Washing
tons March," or the March of the
Revolution"
Washington always arose at 4
o'clock in the morning. For break
fast he had Indian cakes, honey
and tea. This menu was always
the same. At 3 pm. he dined again,
eating heartily of almost everything,
being particularly partial to fish.
He partook sparingly of dessert, but
drank a homemade beverage and
from four to five glasses of Medeira
wine. He ate no supper, satisfying
himself with just cup Of tea, and
about o'clock retired to bed.
His advice on the making Of
friends is certainly commendable.
Select the most deserving only for
your friendship" he said, "and be-
fore this becomes intimate, weigh
their dispositions and characters
well. True friendship Is plant OF
slow growth: to be sincere there

sack that would ride through to that
city undisturbed; but If it.were for
Barstow, say, which is $50 miles
closer than Los Angeles, 1t would
require terminal sortings at Chi
cago and Salt Lake City (if sent
Union Pacific), each Of which would
delay it half a day.
There are ways of saving time.
of course. A special handling stamp
on your package will mean that it
will receive the most expeditions
handling possible en- route-will be
sorted before other packages, and
more than likely catch an earlier
train out of each terminal post Office.
A special delivery stamp will give
it this same expeditions handling,
and at the same time insure imme-
diate delivery at the post Office Of its
destination. A special delivery letter
or package can be mailed 10 minutes
before lookup (40 minutes before
train time) and be sure to catch
that train. Along the entire route
it will be kept separate and handled
first.
But there is really remarkably
little delay, even during the Christ
mas rush. It is an unvarying rule
with all postal employees that each
days work must be cleared up that
day. So if your card or package
does not catch the first train out it
Is sure to catch the next.
The registering of mail does MOTH
ing to speed it up, but it does insure
its safe arrival, for every man ham
ding that piece must acknowledge
its receipt. With insured parcel
post you are given receipt, and tho
addressee must sign a receipt; but
receipts are not exchanged among
postal empolyes except between re-
ceiving and sending postmasters.
Whether a gift should be registered
or insured depends largely upon its
value and weight. Registry re-
quires first-class postage of 3 cents
an ounce, and its chief value lies in
insurance of safe delivery. Parcel
post insurance is designed primarily
to protect you against breakage or
damage en- route.
