It is in the ns l>et t of Ills common humanity that lie will prove must interesting, und no doubt lovers of truth will be interested to kmnv tbat Washington wns "one of the hoys." Upon tlie true Oeo. Washington some very interesting sidelights have lieeii thrown. Although he was the most dis tinguished of American soldiers mid cit- iicus, he wns generally in trouble about his family. He had to pay off numerous scores on account of the extravagance of Ids spendthrift brothers, and not nl wnys agreed with the eccentricities of Ills mother. He was quite a dandy, with a passion for lino clothes. He wns not an educated mail, and the incorrectness of Ids spelling was equaled only by the wretchedness of his grammar. Ills pub lic papers were written by Ills cabinet advisers. He did not go to church regu lariy, hit average attendance on services being about fourteen times a year, He wrote Ills- private letters on Sunday, mid even prepured Ids invoices mi that day. Nor did he limit himself to this, for lie entertained company, closed land pur chases. sab] wheat, and while n Virginia planter went fox hunting on Sunday. He said that John Itiimbdpli wiis the "daimideal liar on the face of the earth," mid ns he spoke brought his fist down upon tiie table with ii violence which made the wine glasses and brandy deeanters start from their places. Jle wns fond of handsome women, and was quite a gallant. Ho wrote poetry when he wns naming man, and was gen orally "in love." Ho was preeminently sociable in his disposition'and had a dis tinct weakness for dancing. He was a constant attendant at the regular danc ing assemblies in New York and Phil adelphia, and when at Mount Vernon lie frequently went tou miles to Alexan dria to attend dances. On one occasion, when he was President, he danced with Jbe wife of Gen. Greene upwards of three hours without sitting down. On another occasion he danced nil night. At the "Farewell ball at Annapolis," when he resigned his command ns com- minder-in-chief, he dnneed in every wet so that all the ladies might have the pleasure of dancing with him, or, ns it has been handsomely expressed, "Get a • touch of him." He still danced when <M years of age. He ulwnys went to the circus, delighted in nothing more than horse-racing, played cards for money, and harked bis judgment in tho cockpit. His greatness was not due. however, to his indiscretions, but to his character. He was truthful, generous, high-minded, nnd had no other ambition or aspiration than the glory of hi* country. Hi* fault* are noted todo.v, not to encourage the cultivation of like faults in his smaller countrymen, but to warn them against imitating what is leasl commendable in the life and conduct of the • • Father of his country. ” WHITE HOUSE OCCUPANTS The following composite record farts nbmit Presidents may be of inter- , at, remark/II writer in the New r ork Evening* Press: Of the twenty-seven Presidents of Uie United States fifteen were of English ancestry, six of Scotch-Irish lineage, three of Scotch, two of Dutrh nnd one Welsh. In their early lives fourteen were law yers, live were teachers, three were pro fessional soldiers. Fillmore mid John son were tailors, Roosevelt was a public official and Abraham Lincoln a farm hand. At the time of their elections ninny of them had changed their vocations—at that time nineteen were lawyers, three statesmen, two soldiers, one n farmer, one a planter, one a surveyor nnd four were Presidents by succession. That most of our President* spent their childhood days on farms nnd plan tations is proved by the faet that of their fathers six were planters mid nine were farmers. The othnr twelve fathers were: Three clergymen, three morcbnnta, two lawyers, one statesman, one iron manufacturer, one sexton, one constable and one tanner. Harvard nnd William and Mnry rank highest as uliun maters of Presidents, with three each. Princeton graduated two; West Point, Miami, Union, Wil liams, Kenyon, Dickinson, Bowdoin, Ilnmpton-Bidiiey!

Seven Presidents-to-be first saw the light of dny ill Virginia, six in Ohio, twu in Massachusetts, three in North Carolina, one each In. Vermont, New Hampshire, Kentucky ami New Jersey. Three Presidents were Imrn in New York City. When elected, however, five were legnl residents of Virginia, five of Ohio, four of New York, three of Tennessee, two of MiiHHiieliiiM'tts and Indiana. Illinois, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New» Jersey und New Hampshire each sent one Pres ident to Washington. Tho Republican party elected fourteen of its candidates to the Presidential chair, the Democrats eight, while the Whigs elected three mill the Federal party two. Ten of the Presidents served more than four years. William Henry Harrison'h service wns shortest, ns he had been in office only one month nt the time of his death.

SPENDING TAX MONEY FOR TOO MANY THINGS. Oglethor|H' Echo. When taxes are fairly nnd equitably assessed and the proceeds therefrom ju diciously and intelligently spent for the public's benefit they are by no means burdensome. In no other way can a citizen get more Tor his dollar than from taxes so laid and expended. Nor will any citizen worthy to be called such raise the least complaint nt having to pay such taxes. He realizes that funds must lx* raise.I to provide conveniences nnd protection for the public nt large, nnd that these conveniences nnd protection nrd worth far more to every citizen than ho is assessed to pay for them—when the as sessments nre fair and the expenditures only for necessary conveniences and pro tection. But many taxpayers arc complaining these days nt burdens of taxation. They deem it a burden because they realize that tax levies are not fairly nnd equita bly Inbl and that our governments, na tional, State and municipal, arc spend ing fmills raised by taxation for too many things that are not worth the cost to the public, nnd thnl are not of general public benefit. In thnt case 'taxes be come a burden, and a quite irksome one at thnt. Thu trend of government to paternal ism Is wiiat is bringing this burden upon the' people. And the people, through petty politicians and office-seekers, are forcing our Government to this pater nalism. We have become too much prone to look to the Government to do for us whnt we ought to do for ourselves indi vidually, and politicians have played on this sentiment thnt they might obtain or hold office. Hence our Government is trying to do many things thnt are a heavy drain on the funds raised by tax ation, but from which the general public gets very little benefit. The money is spent, where it does not yield adequate returns for thq expenditure. When thnt is the ease taxation lie- oitics a burden. This burd/n is being recognized by all classes of our people, anil they nre be ginning to get restive. Ho much so tlin’t it. would seem that the powers thnt be in our governmental affairs would take notice of it and lie gin to retrench. But there is no evidence of that being done. In all brunches of our Government, from iiiitiomil down to thnt of the smallest uiuiilripnlities, there is an apparent craze for laying taxes. This craze has gone beyond- nil reason. Tnx-imyers realize thnt they lire overly nAscssed to raise funds tlmt lire devoted (o objects from which they do not get profitable returns. Thnt is bringing on unii'ersal complaint, of the burden of taxation. That com plaint will eventually grow into revolt. When thnt conies it will he omnious times for our governments. Let iih repeat, thnt n fair mid just tax levy to raise funds to be judiciously applied for the welfare of the public nt large is not burdensome to anybody, Hut taxation that is Jiurdensome with- out any compensating benefit is danger ous to any government A very pleasing suggestion to news paper publishers who are paying a 400 isw cent, advance in the price of news print is that the Republicans propose a tariff on print paper in order to protect American infant industry. It looks to us like that infant is pretty well grown, and able to take care of himself. —Tifton Gazette. Enthusiasm to a salesman is like gas oline to an automobile.
