After Washington, at the risk of his
life, had brought order out of chaos,
and formed the routed troops into an
invincible line of battle, he rode back
to where Lee sat on his horse in a bad
fit of sulks, and, pointing to the ral-
lied troops, asked:
"Will you, sir, command in that
place?"
"I will," Lee eagerly exclaimed.
"Then," said Washington, "I expect
you to check the enemy immediately.'

Notwithstanding other reports, the
most serious thing the legislature has
met this senson. and apparently out-
lived, was the combination to locate
the territorial institutions.

At Emet, near Ardmore, last week a
crazy woman escaped from the watch-
ers. The night was bitter cold and
the woman was thinly clad. Searchers
hunted for two days and finally found
her dead body. She had found a fire
left by wood haulers in the woods, and
had crouched so close to the fire that
the blaze caught her clothes. In her
frenzy she tore her burning clothes
from her body and the bitter cold
froze the spark of life that remained
in her charred body.
John Leahy was turned down as a
delegate from the Osage Nation by the
Oklahoma legislature. John ought to
get up a legion of his Irish and Indian

head, and make a demonstration

Tlio new army bill knocks out the
canteen of the old army, and no inoro
will this old time-honored accompani-
ment of a soldier's equipment respond
to the pulling of the stopper with the
wine that cheers or the liquor that in
toxicates.
There will probably be such a tan-
gle before the legistature adjourns
that the last few days will be disor-
dered und lots of things which would
be defeated otherwise will go through.

GEN. LEE.
lost his temper and swore at Gen.
Charles Lee for disobeying orders and
retreating, thus endangering the whole
American army. If ever man was
tried, it was Washington at Monmouth,
and If ever profanity was excusable it
was on that occasion. Lee, according
to some historians, was a designing
traitor, who, envious of Washington's
popularity, schemed to defeat his
army. It is quite certain that he hes-
itated when the oath of allegiance, re-
quired by the continental congress,
was administered at Valley Forge.
Washington was himself administering
the oath to Lee, Greene, Stirling and
others, the officers placing their haiJs
on a Bible. When Washington began
to repeat the prescribed oath, Lee sud-
denly removed his hand from ti e Bi-
ble, and the commander-in-chief asked
why he did so. His answer was:
"As to King George, I am willing
not doing so. It seems that this very
slight discretionary power given him
furnished the pretext for his conduct.
Lee had under him such men as La-
fayette, Wayne and Morgan's famous
riflemen.
1 he conduct of Lee on this occasion
is a puzzle to the student of human
motives. At one moment he seemed in
earnest and determined, at the next he
was weak, hesitating and uncertain.
In the council of war held at Hopewell
Leo advised against the attack, and
showed a very faint heart throughout
the fight. When the British began to
move he made a feeble attack, which
was followed up by half a dozen blun-
ders in rapid succession. He held La-
fayette in check until it was too late
for him to cut off some of the British
army, and weakened Wayne's forces
comport with the by withdrawing from him some of his
best soldiers, and finally ordered a gen-
eral retreat all along the line. Along a
narrow pass, with a morass on either
side, the Americans fled on that hot
June day, pursued by the yelling Brit-
ons. The weather was so excessively
warm that many of the soldiers per-
ished from sunstroke. Washington,
who was bringing up the main army
to attack the British in such a way as
to cut off their retreat to New York,
after the cannonading early in the
morning, was astonished and perplexed
to hear no more firing. Anon the
shouts of the victorious Britons and
the occasional musket shot fell on his
ears, and, with a feeling of distrust, he
galloped forward, accompanied by his
entire staff. They met the head of the
retreating army under Gen. Lee. Just
at this point, according to tradition,
Washington did his "cussing." His-
tory records the first words uttered by
Washington as:
"Sir, I desire to know what is the
reason, and whence arises this disorder
and confusion?" Tradition saye that

bath day the battle raged, but the
Britons and their allies were defeated
and stole away during the night.
After it was all over, Lee demanded
an apology, but Washington, instead of
apologizing, placed Lee under arrest.
He was tried and dismissed from com-
mand for twelve months. He never

GEN. LAFAYETTE,
the sentence began with "By God, sir."
According to tradition, Washington,
after meeting Lee, ordered Oswald s
battery to unlimber and open on the
enemy; that he then galloped down
toward the advancing enemy, and fired
his holsters at them, wheeled his horse
about, rode back and formed the re-
treating hosts into a line of battle to
meet the foe. Without doubt the
father of his cot -ury was greatly pro-
voked at Lee, aud the evidence at Lee's
trial shows that "hot and angry"
words passed between them. But it is
still a matter of doubt whether Gen.
Washington swore.
Such terms and colloquialisms as
"Egad," "By gad" and "Zounds," a
genteel sort of profanity, were in com-
mon use in those days, but Washing-
ton has never been accused of using
them. In the midst of the excitement
and confusion attending a battle, and
the rallying of routed hosts under the
heavy fire of a victorious enemy, it is
doubtful if spoken words can be suc-

How Washington Really I.ooked.
From the traditions of Alexandria,
and from other sources, I have tried to
make up in my mind's eye a picture of
George Washington as he really was.
He was exceedingly tall, and, when
> oting, quite slender. He had enor-
mous hands and feet. His boots were
No. 13, and his ordinary walking shoes
No. 12. He was a man of muscle.
During his service in the army he
weighed 200 pounds, and was so strong
that he could lift his tent with one
hand, although it usually required the [
strength of two men to place it on the
camp wagon. I mean, of course, when
it was folded up and wrapped around
the poles. Washington could hold a !)ne 'ar<* P^us $2.00 to all points in

denly evacuated Philadelphia in Jt ne
1778, and began their retreat across
New Jersey, Washington, with his
whole army, pushed on as rapidly as
possible to intercept them before they
reached New \ork. Late on headed
off the British, went into camp a;ar
the enemy on the plains of Monmouth.
Lee was next to Washington In com-
mand, aud there cati be no doubt at
this time that envy and hatred were
strong factors in the breast of the su-
bordinate. Lee's instructions were to
advance early and attack the enemy
soon as they began to move, unless
m w 1
was almost red. He had a broad chest
but not a full one.
His voice was not strong, and during
his last days he had a hacking cough.
His eyes were cold gray, and it is said
that he seldom smiled, although there
is reason to believe that he had con-
siderable humor about him. His nose
was prominent. He was particular as
to his appearance and fastidious in
dress. He wore plain clothes and al-
wajs kept himself well shaven, acting
as his own barber.
Economical, lint Not Stln-y,
Through his letters now owned by
the government one may see here and
there correspondence which shows
that he was very hard up at times. In
178t> he wrote that he could get no
wheat on credit, and that he had no
cash to pay for It. Three years later ho
urges a man to pay the $1,000 which ho
owes him, und says 1 ; has put off the
sheriff three times already, and that he
needs this money to pay his taxes. He
was not afraid (o dun his debtors, and
he is said to have been one of the
shrewdest dealers, among the planters
of his time. He was alwaj preaching
economy to his servants, but on tha
whole was somewhat lenient, as for
instance, he employed one man, a car-
penter, making a contract with him for
a year and providing therein he was to
have four days in which he might get
drunk about Christmas. Washington
was economical, but not stingv He
could not endure waste of any kind,and
he went about over his estate doing his
best to stop the leaks. In one of his
letters home he urges that the greatest
economy be used in feeding the hay at
the mansion house
