WASHINGTON AS A
SOLDIER.
An Essay Bead bj Alls Violet Kent at
the Washington Daj School Exercises.
Washington was taught in the hard
school of experience. Surveying the
wild frontier made him acquainted
with the country and iaured to hard
ship; the French and Indian war made
him a soldier, a soldier who dared
even to fight the stubborn redcoats.
After a siege of eight months. Wash
ington forced the British from Boston.
The country had scarcely heard the
news of his success before a large
Brinish fleet and a powerful British
army arrived at New York. Fighting
the enemy when ho could, outwitting
them when he could not, he reached
the Delaware. Trenton and Princeton
placed him among the greatest soldiers
of the world; "Fredriok the Great, of
Prussia declareJ that the achievements
of Washington and his little band,
during the six weeks following Christ
mas, were the most brilliant on the
pages of military history." Fredrick's
admiration for Washington did not
diminish, for a short time before his
death he sent Washington a sword, in
scribed "The oldest general in the
world to the bravest."
Gathering all his soldiers, Washing
ton threw them around the flower of
the British troops at Yorktown; and
crushed them till they could never
rise again in America.
How do the campaigns of Alexander
the Gieat compare with the campaigns
of Washington? With his iron phalanx,
Alexander marched over a continent,
with what to oppose him? Luxurious
orientals, who .were often clothed in
their flowing robes, and armed with
their short spears only. Washington
with his poorly armed and poorly
clothed patriots, opposed and con
quered soldiers in many ways superior
to his own. Alexander permitted his
men to consider him something more
than human, and regarded his soldiers
as mre machines to aid him in gratify
ing his ambition. Washington wen
among his men, cheering them an
sharing their privations, aud in soli
tude he prayed for an abatement of
their sufferings. Napoleon Bonapart
made grand speeches of praise to his
soldieis, promising them great things
then, without a thought be broke his
promises, and heartlessly risked thei
lives. Washington addressed his sol
diers as brothers and made no rash
promises which he could not" keep,
Napoleon, fighting first in Italy, nex
in Spain, then marching his army in
to frozen Russia, and at last meeting
his superiors on the field of Waterloo,
loses not a little of his false greatness
when contrasted with Washington
In the end Napoleon gained nothing
but a dreary prison on St. Helena
Washington earned the title of
"Father of his country."
Learned men have tried to rank
Washington amng the great generals
of the earth, and we know that he was
a thoughtful general; his treatment of
bis own soldiers and of the British
prisoners show that. We know that
he was an honest general; his entire
expenditure for the whole war did not
equal the cost of the stationary of con
gress for one year. We know that he
was a brave general; his action in
every battle shows it, and we know
that he was a successful general; he
accomplished what he undertook, he
droye every British invader from the
land.

Passed Away.
Charles Eston, of Boyd, was on Feb.
24, 1898,transferred from this life of sor
row and suffering to a life on the eter
nal shore. It has been my pleasure to
have an acquaintance of 18 years with
.this good roan and I can say in all
candor that I never knew a kinder or
more sypatbetic man. He was a suf
ferer from childhood but never gave up
until three years ago he lost his mother
and a year later, a brother, since when
he never recovered, and although he
bad everything done for him but all to
no avail. When the hour of his de'
parturo came, his father and only
brother, James Eaton and wife, were
with him. All we have is gathered
now in heaven, my precious Lor 1 and
friend, loved well as lite, boon our
soul shall from this body burst, bright
with the rays of Christ. God bless the
lonely father and brother, and keep
them until they meet in heaven.

And passed from earth away.
Could your tear dlmned eye but see. father.

You'd weep no more for me

They Are Good Bowlers.
A team of bowlers from The Dalles
came to town almost unannounced one
day last week and defeated a team
made up of bowlers at the Oroon
Road Club. It was a return match,
the Portland team having been de
feated at The Dalles the previous week.
So few people were aware of the match
that but a small crowd witnessed the
games. The Dalles bowlers are all
good ones and put up stiff ames.
The teams tied on games, but the visit
ors scored the most pins by 19 and so
were the winner. The scores of all
the players were up to tho average
and for new bowlers the visitors made
a splendid showing,' far better than
was expected. If their work at the
Road Club is a sample of . what they
ran do all the time, they will have no
trouble in holding their own with any
team in the association. They will be
challengers for tho Feldenheimer
trophy some time during the year, and
it will take a strong team to keep the
cup from them. Oregonian.

To whom it may concern: Having
been informed that the agents of
another insurance association circu
lated the report that the Mutual Pro
tective Insurance Association of Port-;
land, Oregon, did not pay in full the
amount of insurance on my dwelling,
which was dostroyed by fire in Septem
ber last, and which was insured in that
Association for $300. I hereby state
that such report is absolutely untrue.
That said Association not only paid
the full amount of their policy on said
dwelling, but they paid $150 thereof
before the same was due, according to
the terms xl their policy, in order to
accommodate me, and I would further
state that I am ent'relj' satisfied with
the treatment I have reseiyed from
that Association, and cheerfully rec
ommend them for the manner in which
they adjusted and settled my loss.

MnstPay Their Taxes.
The decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Ninth
district, which holds that the North
ern Pacific Railway company must pay
taxes upon its granted lands, will
place those counties th.it compromis
ed the Northern Pacific taxes in a
tight place Walla Walla county,
which is in this district, says the
Statesman, refused to compromise the
tax, showing the wisdom of the county
commissioners, but several counties
accepted half of the tax from the rail

lengthy.

TEE excessive use of tobacco, especially
by yonng men is always injurious and
undoubtedly shortens life materially.
Mr. Ed. C. Ebsen, compositor on the Contra
Costa Hews, Martinez, Cat, writes; "I hare
used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and re
ceived much benefit from it. I was troubled
with nervousness, dizzy spells and sleepless
ness, caused by the use of tobacco and stim
ulants. I took Dr. lilies' Nervine with mar
Telously good results, allaying the dizziness,
quieting the nerves, and enabling me to
sleep and rest, proving In my case a very
beneficial remedy.'' Dr. Miles Bestorative
Nervine Is especially adapted to restoring
the nervous system to its normal condition
under such circumstances. It soothes, heals
and strengthens.
