ton. Tho body was temoved from the Ii'ioo ot
the oak about 7.1 years ago It never should have
been removed.
It Is said that Washington selected tho place
when; liia body now lies and left Instnictiona
that one day tho change of sepulcher should bo
made. The oak which guiuded tho liist grave
must have been standing for tlueo centuiles.
The view from the placo is Inspiring enough to
enkindle the ejes of a dead man. The viow from
the now tomb Is line in its way, but it is as noth
ing to the grand sweep of tlver, hilltops and for
ests which naves before tho oyo from the place
whete Washington slept for 30 years.
Hundreds of visitors go to Mount Vernon
dnlly. They peer li.to tho tomb nnd then
htralghtwn go lo the house. There Is an Inter
Cbt, of course, which must attach to any of the
belongings of Washington, but It seems to be u
legitimate matter of regiot that of the thousands
who go to Mount Veiuon the Inteiest in tho mir
ror which Washington used when ho shnved nnd
in the spoon with which ho ate his porridge, If
ho ate porridge, la far gicater than in the forest
trees under which ho walked and In tho gaiden
whote hedges of fotmal cut wore planted with
his own hand.
Indoors at Mount Veinon over) thing Is dead;
outdoors eveiy thing la nllve. Tho forest and
garden are Instinct with Washington; tho con
tents of the houfce are as dust.
There la a real Interest, however, in the
library of tho old homo. In tho main tho books
are dimply copies of tlioso which wero on tho
shelves tn Washington's tlmo. Tho oilgln.Ua, as
1 understand it, are iu several Ubraiica of the
countiy. There aio two originals, however,
which are open at the title page, po that if the

The Steady Man.
We'd like to write a little rhymo
about tho steady man, who keeps on
pegging all tho time and does tho
best he can; the iiinu who early goes
to woik and doesn't get home till late;
nor ever try to shirk In order to be
great. There are Home fellows who
will try to do their business tricks
and have a linger in the pie of city
politics; they try to put on lota of
style and play a heavy role, and in
a little bit o while you find them In
a hole' I like the man of steady pace,
his system I admire; ho has no wild
desire to plnce more Irons in the llio!

Never Opened His Mouth.
"Not Infrequent rays of unconscious
humor illumine the otherwise Impos
sible stories that come to my desk
from amateurs," says a reader for one
of the magazines. Recently I chanced
upon tills choice bit:
"'John, the husband, and Grace, the
wife, ate on together iu silence There
was Indubitably an ill feeling between
them. The husband devoured a plate
ot soup, half a fish, an entree or two
a piece of roast beef, together with
a sweet, without ever once opening

A Resemblance.
Canon Heiiblcy Ileuson, at a dinner
In Now Haven dining his Yata lec
tures, condemned the ugliness of the
English archbishop's attire.
"One of our luchbishops." he said,
"preached iu a Kansas church in hla
panoply of knee breeches, gaiteis. and
apron, and tho leading paper of the
town concluded nn admirable report of
his ncrmon with tho words:
"'The archbishop wore Highland
diesa.' "
woid "Sentimental." The
wonder waa, and tho poor
light was responsible for Its remain
lug a wonder, if the father of hla
country had not In his quiot hours
been rending "A Sentimental Jour
ney." If the gentle Mnrlhu had
peeped Into the pagoB and had re
proved George because of what she
saw there ono can lmaglno hla ready
answer that the book was wrltton by
a holy priest of her own choson
church.
The man with the megaphone on
the Washington "rubberneck" wag
ons tells hla audience of passengers
as t'-oy roll by tho Metropolitan dub
house: "This la tho club of tho nobs,"
In another minute, as tho big bight
seilng bus passes anotlior clubhouse
the mogaphnno man says: "And this
ia the club of tho cranka."
"Tho club of the cranks," aa this In
formation howler calls It, is tho Cos
mos club, nnd a most interesting or
ganization it ia. Its meiuberbhip la com
posed of scientists, some physicians
and cloigvmen. a few lawyera and
two or three newspnpoi men. Tho scientists are
in the great majority.
It coi-tb a ptetty penny to join the Motiopol'tan
club and to pay tl-e dues nnd to live tho life of

club ia rather bt'll, and tho dues ate light, but
theto aio bcores of members of the Metropolitan
club, "tho i lub of tho nobs," who willingly would
pay twice or tin ice tho Metiopolltnn's Initiation
fee and the Metiopolltan's dues If tho expendlturo
could gain them admission to tho club where the
"cranks" foregather
Eveiy Monday night Is called "social night" at
the Cosmos club. Of com so the clubhouse Is open
at all times, but on Monday evening the members
make a special efidit to bo present nnd there la
