The lady hud Just lost her husband
and had gone to n summer hotel to

In the middle of the night to see if he
wasn’t walking about. Any little dis-
turbance caused her to he frightened.
One night mysterious raps were heard
on the walls of the sijramer hotel.
"Great goodness," cried the fright-
ened woman in room 13. I wonder
If that could he my departed hus-
band?”
“No," growled the man In room 14,
“It’s I lie people on the other floors
billing mosquitoes with their slippers."

scent when reduced to powder, while

■!. The Greatness of
Washington
CMWMAAMWWWVUW
'P' VEHY nation hns some great fig-
] E-/ ur(, 0f |tH 0wd by which It fixes the
stn’idard of greatness hi man, hut to
America was given a figure whose
greatness is more than national. The
greatness of George Washington, ob-
serves a writer In tlie Kansas City
Star, Is universal, like that of Shake-
speare; Ills mime and fame abide In
all lands.
The explanation Is not difficult to
find. Washington’s greatness was In
the man, and was not made liy events.
As n soldier he tnet defeat more often
than victory, yet as a soldier lie takes
rank with the greatest in nil lands and
nil ages. Washington lost many tint-
ties, hut he never lost mi army, and
In thii' he outranks Napoleon, lie had
both the eournge to fight and (lie eour-
nge to decline fighting, for Ids judg-
ment always held complete sway over
the man. lie could afford not to win;
lie could not afford to lose. "The old [
fox," tlic British generals called hint,
and called him wellr He Imd the su-
preme faculty, without which there
j can lie no great generalship, of rrmk-
i big himself Invisible, of turning up at
unexpected places, of striking and ills

Napoleon's soldiers In the first Ital-
ian cutupulgn boasted that they won
their .......nil's victories wllh their legs.
It was Washington’s nhlllly to move
Ids army that saved the Revolution
The greatest military victory of the war
was won at Saratoga hy a third-rate
general. The greatest military achieve-
ment of the war was Washington's re-

could know where lie mine from or

ton stand high above Saratoga In mili-
tary annals. In daring and In swift-
ness these movements are unsur-

Did Not Love War.
Washington was a grenrsoldier who
did not love war. As a youth la- felt,
as he confessed, n “bent for arms,”
and Horace Walpole records Unit the
' young Virginia mil 11 in oflicer wrote la
n dispatch from tils first field some-
thing about the "charming sound" of
the bullets. The dispatch Is not au-
thentic. In the fullness of Ids fame
Washington was nskeil If lie wrote It.
"If I did," In- replied gravely, "II
was when I was very young." With-
out loving war for glory or wnglng It
for fame, Washington rosq. to the
front rank in an art pursued for a
great cause alone, refusing puy for his
services and laying down command in
the hour of victory, und while the
world rung wlHR Ids renown, to re-
tire to the life of a Virginia furmer.
- If Washington’s public life had end-
ed with Hie end of the Revolution and
Ids fume rested on his nillltury achieve-
ment alone, we should still have
to plnce him turning the foremost of
mankind.
But Washington’s constructive gen-
ius was not misled by the results of
the war. The military victory of the
colonies ushered In their real test;
It was then to be determined whether
statesmanship could create n nation
to seal die victory In the field ; wheth-
er the Idea of nationality could sup-
plant In provincial minds the raw
conception of the sovereignty of de-
tached mid Jealous colonies. Wash-
ington the soldier retires from his-
tory, ami Washington the stntesmnn
emerges. As the voice of Massachu-
setts called him to the command of
THE WASHINGTON
MONUMENT
After the great Wasnlngton monu-
ment in the city of Washington was
150 feet in the air the entire founda-
tion of stone was taken out and a new
foundation of concrete was substi-
tuted.
armies, the voice of all now called
the same great leader to guide the
deliberations of that body that made
the Constitution under which we live
today. Here again the American
Fabius displayed the dnrlng of Tren-
ton. The colonies were not ready for
nationality, but the cautious but sure
judgment of Washington risked giving
It. The Virginia plan drawn hy Madi-
son had his approval. It must be na
tlonnllty or nnnrehy. Washington took
the risk, knowing It to be a risk, de-
claring thut what the convention did
might be rejected by the people, but
approving and guiding the deed. Let it
he conceded that the mentality of Mad-
ison and Hamilton mnde the Constitu-
tion— the weight of the character of
Washington ballasted It. His name
cnrrled It. Ills Statesmanship exe-
cuted It In the first feeble years of the
yyiung republic.
Broad in His Views.
We have been told many times, says
a school boy In an oration, that Wash-
ington was not a genius, hut a per-
son of excellent rommon sense, of ad-
mirable judgment, of rare virtues. He
belonged to that rare class of men
who are broad enough to Include all
the facts of people's practical life, and
deep enough to discern the spiritual
luws which animate and govern those
facts.
Caesar was merciful, Srlplo was a
master of self, Hannibal was patient;
but it was reserved for Washington
to blend them all in one, and, like the
lovely masterpiece of the nrtlst, to
exhibit, in one glow of associated
beauty, the pride of every model, and
the perfection of every master. A eon
queror, lie was untainted with crime
of blood; a revolutionist, he was free
from any Stall! of treason, (or aggres-
sion commenced the contest and kls
country culled him to the command.
If he had paused there history
might have doubted what station to
assign him; whether at the head of
her eltlr.ens or her soldiers, her heroes
or ht-t patriots. But the last glorious
act crowns Ids career and banishes all
hesitation. Who, like Washington,
lifter having emancipated a hemi-
sphere, resigned Its crown and pre-
ferred the retirement of domestic life
In adoration of n land he might be
almost hiiill to have created.
Just honor to Washington can only
lie rendered hy observing his prerepts
and Imitating his example. He lias
built Ins own monument. We and
those who ronte after us In successive
generations are its appointed, Its priv-
ileged guardians, the widespread re-
public is tlie future monument to
Washington. Maintain Its Independ-
ence, defend Its liberty. Let It stand
before the world In all Its original
strength mid beauty, securing peace,
order, equality and freedom to all
within its boundaries mid shedding
light and hope and Joy upon the path
way of litinmn liberty throughout the
world—nml Washington needs no other
monument. Other structures may fully
testify our veneration f<^- him; this,
this alone can adequately Illustrate Ills
services to mankind.
