"George Washington, without
thu genius of Julius Caesar or Na-
poleon Bonaparte, has a far purer
fame, as his ambition was of a
higher and holier natu-W Instead
of seeking to raise his own name
or seize superior power, he devo-
ted his whole talents, military and
civil, to the establishment of the
independence and purity of his
own country. In modern history
no man has done such great things
without the soil or selfishness or
the stain of groveling ambition.
Caesar, Cromwell, Napoleon, at-
tained a higher elevation, but the
love of dominion was the spur
that drove thent on. John Hamp-
den, William Russell, Algernon
Sidney, may have had motives as
pure and ambition as sustained;
but they fell. To George Wash-
ington alone in modern times has
it been given to accomplish a
wonderful revolution, and yet to
remain to all future times the
theme of a people's gratitude and
an example of virtuous and ben-
eficient power."
The scene at the parting of
Washington with his officers at
the conclusion of the War of In-
dependence, is feelingly described
by Mr. Irwing:
"In the course of a few days
Washington prepared to depart I
for Annapolis, where Congress i The Atlanta Journal says. "A

BEST HEALER IN THE world.
Rev. F. Starbird, of East Raymond,
Maine 8i ys: "I have used Bucklen'a
Arnica Salve for saveial years, on my
old array wound, and other obstinate
sores, and find it the best healer in the
world. I used it too with great success
in my veterinary business.'' Price '2'm
at all drug stores.
The Austin Statesman pre-
dicts coming very "hot summer
weather." saying, "an old tim-
e" declares March 1st. always
indicates what is to follow,"
adding: "If he was right, and
yesterday's heat is pny indica-
tion of the heat which will be
experienced during the ap-
proaching summer, it will be
necessary for everybody to seek
the shade of all the tall timbers
to keep from being roasted."
NO USE TO DIE.
"I have found out that there is no use
to die of lung trouble as long as you
can get Dr King's New Discovery,"
says Mrs. J. P. Wtiite, of Ruahboro, Pa.
'•I woulu not be alive to-day only for
that wonderful msdicine. It loosens up
a ccugh (juickcr than anything else, and

Several winter tourists who
made only a brief stay in San
Antonio during the past week
said they would have remained
longer if they had been able to
secure such hotel accommodations
as they desired. Some of these
day.i San Antonio may realize
that she is loosing greatly by not
having more hotel room for visi-
tors.—San Antonio Express.
The above coming from the
oil reliable Express, ever "of,
for and with its city," reminds
of the kind hearted parent, who
switches his child, for neglect or
merely to correct and change for
the better. The Alamo City
must need hotel accommodation,
need it badly, for the Express to
tell it.

come and take me by the hand.'
General Knox, who was nearest,
was the first to advance. Wash-
ington, affected even to tears,
grasped his hand and gave him a
brother's embrace. In the same
affectionate manner he took leave
severally of the rest. Not a word
was spoken. The deep feeling
and manly tenderness of these
veterans could not find utterance
in words. Silent and solemn they
followed their loved comman-
der as he left the room, passed
through a corps of light infantry
and proceeded on foot to White-
hall Ferry. Having entered the
barge, he turned to them, took
off his hat and waved a silent
adieu. They replied in the same
manner, and having watched the
barge until the intervening point
of the battery shut it from sight,
returned still, solemn and silent,
to the place where they had as-
sembled."
