The fact of having money atj many times as much a? the interest, pleasure of having a sum of money, re Ah George Washington Might See It How We Have Grown. If Washington were here to-day t< make a tour of our republic, we maj feel that the calm, clear eyes would bi lighted with enthusiasm, and tha many of bis ideals for the nation h< loved so well would be found to be re alized, at least in part. When he relinquished the powen of the presidency his farewell went ou toless'thun five and one half millioi people, while to-day President Rooee velt is the chief executive of nearlj seventy-six and onehalf million; anc when we remember how large a per centage of our population is of foreigr birth, we see to what an extent Wash ington's hope, that America would b< an abiding-place for seekers of liberty from all lands, has been fulfilled. In Washington's time the center o population was to be found in Eastern Maryland, and some, less optimisti< than he, considered it impossible thai seaboard civilization would ever pass beyond the Alleghanies. To-day t momument stands in a field sever miles southeast of Columbus, Ind., t( mark our population's center. In on< hundred years it has traveled 478 miles ?leagues beyond the spot in the dens* forest where Washington had his firsi encounters with the Indians. Rifie of Prestige. AJI our young people wno are students of history know how much in fluence our nation bad in the dip lomatio relationship of the world wher Washington was endeavoring to pre serve the dignity and prestige of hit charge. In our day two of the mos' powerful nation on the globe seek the good offices of our chief executive t< bring about a settlement of vexec questions in South America, and i comparatively young American, Mini ster Bowen in Venezuela, islooked upor with so much confidence by the lead ing powers as virtually to have beet asked to take charge of their interests We can imagine what would hav< been Washington's pleasure at suet triumphs for the straightforward.can did methods of American diplomacy in the midst of delicate internationa complications. Comfort and Utility. Tuminer toother Dhases of our work of to-day, it would be interesting t< know with just what feelings Wash ipgton would watch the swift fligh of a modern railway, train. In hii time it took the clumsy stage coachei two or three days to go from New Yort to Philadelphia, and a week to go frotr New. York to Boston. The roads wen exceeding bad; there were hardly anj bridges, and the rivers were crossec by Blow and often dangerous flat-boats Since Washington so often felt tha more rapid means of communicatioi were necessary to the well-being ofthi people, we can picture his satisfactioi at the comparative comfort and proa perity which U now so general. In 1800 the streets, even in the largi cities, were poorly paved and dirty and scarcely lighted at night. Some of the houses were large an< well furnished, but none of them ha( the conveniences so common now. The wealthiest people then labored under difficulties which we can scam ly realize. I Those who lived on the farms had 1 still harder time. It was not easy t< work with wooden plows, and,owin| the lack of means of transpotatioh the farmer who raised more than h< wanted found it difficult to sell. Can you imagine Washington'i thoughts to-day on receiving a tele gram? What then would be his feel ings, if he were to visit oue of th< Marconi stations, to be told that mes aages were flashed through space, ove 2,000 miles of trackless sea? When wi remembered how many days it took fo I a letter to go by carrier post from Bostoi 'to New York, we can understani j Washington's admiration for the rapi dity of even the rural free delivery. If Washington could have lived t< behold the ocean grayhound. plowinj its way swiftly to and from our Bhores bearing the products of Held aud fac tory to the markets of the world would he not have contrasted it wit! the means of water travel his dai afforded? Then, along tnecoast, sailinj vessels were the carriers of passager and freight. The least difficulty witl the wind might delay the traveler fo weeks. There was much more dange hardship in a passage from Phildelpbii to Baltimore than there now is in i voyage to Europe, or a trip to the Philip pines. A Dream Realized. Among the countless places of thi present hour, in which our first Presi dent would doubtless experience keei delight at the surprises in store for him would be Washington Citv. It is bi remembered that Washington tool exceptional interest in the location o the nation's caqital. In the plans fo the selection of a site and the construc tion of the Capital he exercised a deter mining influence. Congress, then sit | ting in Philadelphia, handed the mat I ter over to him, and to the three com missloners appointed by him. He pro fe-sed no knowledge of architecture but he sought a combination of th thr ee essential qualities in a satisfac ; \ . r JV ' 1 ' ' A M A BY HOj u JLE, S. C. DIRECTORS. S G. Thomson, H. G.

Tbe Renl Fortresses. i In his farewell address, Washingto j cautioned the people to care assiduoui ly for schools and institutions for tb f general diffusion of knowledge. B i said that as the structure of a govert 3 ment gives force to public opinion, t is essential that public opinion shoul 3 be enlightened. With a system of e< i ucation open to the young people i i America to-day which has no superioi ) if indeed it has an equal the worl ? around, bis ideal in this respect seen , to have been generously fulfilled. Su; j veying the many and splendid unive t sities which dot our land,and recallin that in his day there were but two c three struggling schools which lai claim to the term college, Washingto ' would certainly urge upon us a prop< ' appreciation of our privileges. These colleges were accessible 1 1 comparatively few, as the difficulty < " moving about the country made it | momentous task to send a young ma 1 up to tbe seat of learning. The forti 5 nate sons of tbe best families of Bosto | might go to Harvard, and the sons < 1 the South to William and Mary, bi 1 tbe higher and technical education < ' the present was practically unknow 1 on tne American continent. Lawrence Washington, an eld< 1 brother, was privileged to go to Enf ' land to complete his Btudies, but Geor 3 was obliged to content himsei 1 with what was considered a good con " mon school education, with a bri< { term of further study at an academ 1 near his brother's home. As a young man be made the bestc that university to be found in th j fields and woods, where he gained } I fund of information that was aftei . wards of incalculable value to bim. t He was familiar with all the routic 3 a plantation of that time. He kne 3 all about taking care of stock, breal j ing horses, mending fenceB and tb ! like. He was a good shot with a rifl< a and was fond of hunting. Large an 7 powerful to his aj?e, he excelled i j swimming, running, wrestling an other manly exercises, that rounde t his muscles and hardened his rugge j frame to such an extent that the moc a em college athlete might have as muc j cause to admire him as be would hav , for looking with favorable eye upo the well-built nantain nf a fnntha 3 team of tbe age. However, Washington, if he wei ' with us to-day, might express som i regrets that In bis young manhood h j was deprived of the advantages whic lie so freely about us at tbe preser . bour. So mucb importance did b > attach to the building up ready meat for education that be left a bequest fr j tbe founding of a National Universit 3 in the District of Columbia, an r although his wish was never carrie out in accordance with the terms of h I will, it has been more than fulfilled i other parts of the country. 9 Inspecting our arsenals and forties! . es, our big guns, our army and ot . warships, we fancy he might say: "A B these are well."

In the primitive Hoosler oabin?rough, '*;?? ?8 uncouth, simple abodes?more genuine A e happiness has been enjoyed than in all th? t fine, costly mansions in the great oity 6f d New York. Thousands of wealthy, to- ' ,0 B spec table men and women are living to-, icjjj / day who were born, reared and married In \'JH n* such humble cabins. And there are miljr lions of people living today who have no e idea how these cabins are constructed. j . v lP The pioneer from some of the old east- ; a em or southern states, with his wile, six or eight children, gun and dog, would . j8 come to Greene county In bis covered t wagon, which was the family abode until $ he erected his cabin, which was construct' ed thus: Cut about 40 logs 8 or 10 Inches In diameter, 20 of them 16 feet long s and SO of them 14 feet long; slope the , ends off half and notch the other half to! > . I fit; put chunks in the cracks of the logs and daub them with mud. The gables, . j" were made of shorter logs until reaching what is called the comb, the ends sloped 16 down to suit the pitch of the root I It being now ready for oovering, cut poles 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 16 feet 'vffiS long, or the length of the house, nalch , them down on the gables about 8)f feet fei apart.

The door is 33S made of boards the same as the roof, only longer. The fastening is a wooden latch with a string hanging on the outside. n One window, 14 by 16 inches, has praas ?" ed paper for glass.
