Our Correspondent Pays a Visit to Mad.
George B. Clitherall, of Mobile, and
the Discoveries Ho blade Will Be of
Interest to All of Uncle Sam’s People.
N 0t far from Government, on St.
Emanuel street, in Mobile, Ala, there
stands an unpretentious brick house.
The curious stranger will be faintly re-
minded as he enters the arcade of this
homely dwelling, with its solitary occu-
pant, of those houses which are common
to some quarters of New Orleans. Of
this, however, there is perhaps more
about the air of the place than any real
resemblance to those antiquated creole
quarters. As he enters the parlor, with
its central bay window that jute out to
the sidewalk, he will involuntarily pause
before an ancient and venerable book-
case. and if he be of a literary turn of '
mind will note with a more than pass-
ing interest the heterogeneousmass of
books that with all thezr variety of
bindings crowd close. to each other upon
its time honored shelves.
It was before this musty piece cf fur- ’

Upon the top
shelf was a chaotic piece of accumulated ‘
bric-a-brac such as you may see clus-
tered together on the top shelf of any 2
old bookcase. and among other things .
there was a brown paper parcel tied :
with a piece of old string, and of such ‘
an unassuming appearance that if it '
were lying in the street it would attract
scarcely a glance from the passer by;
and yet it would be difficult to find a.
cluster of objects of such unusual inter-

ics, George Washington’s slipper, a part
of his vest, his Masonic apron and two
silver spoons from his camp chest.
There were, also copies of some old news-
papers—The New York Morning Post of

New England \Veekly Journal (publish-

served. The one in Maj. Clitherall’s pos-
session is exactly eleven and one-half
inches in length, and across its widest
part, where the ball of the foot lies, it
measures four and one—half inches.
(While the Father of his Country un-
deniably had a substantial foundation it
will be seen from this that his foot was
not too large for a man of his stature.) ,
The slipper is of red morocco leather,
but time has covered it with a dusty
brown color, and a careless observer
would place it in the rank of those cheap
browu leather foot coverings which,
however much of comfort they may pos—

Maj. George B. Clitherall, whose death
has occurred since my visit to Mobile,
was the devoted possessor of these relics,
and the last survivor of a family which
stands among the first in a republic that
gained its independence through the im-
mortal name of George Washington.
The history of the Clitherall family in
America on the maternal side dates
very handsome appearance.
Only one thing more remains to be
said. Maj. Clitherall was, from time
to time, in receipt of various letters
of inquiry from different parts of the
country bearing upon these unique and
valuable possessions, and I have endeav-
ored in the present article to cover the
entire ground, however briefly, and it is
to be hoped that it will be copied widely
enough to fall into the hands of all those
who have been more especially interested
in the matters touched upon.
It was not without a feeling of venera-
' tion that I said good-by to these ancient

was chaplain to the Duke of Portland,
and who received from the original lords

THE‘ LITTLE HATCHET MYTH.
Its Origin and Development—Evolved by
a Highly Moral Liar.
“Father, I cannot tell a. lie—I did it
with my little hatchet!” Who can think
of the Father of his Country without re-
calling this affecting story? And yet,
like so many other cherished anecdotes
of great men, it is absolutely without
foundation.
His name was M. L. Weems. He was
a clergyman or preacher by profession,
an adventurer by nature, and loved no-
toriety, money and a wandering life.
So he wrote books which he correctly
believed would meet with popular favor, .
and peddled them himself as he trav-
eled through the country. Chance
brought him to Mount Vernon in the
closing days of Washington‘s life, and
his commercial instinct at once told him
here was a chance for distinction and
dollars such as he had never met be-
fore. So he produced his famous biog-
raphy, and being the first on the ground
he had things his own way and ran riot
in language and alleged r3mi::i.;ccnces.
The best known of his myths. are those
concerning the little hatchet. the refusal
to fight or permit fighting among the
boys at
garden. The last. is to the effect that
little George's father planted seeds in
such a manner that when they sprouted ,
they formed the initials of the boy’s
name, and he being much delighted,
the elder Washington explained that it
was the work of the Creator, and thus
inculcatcd a profound belief in God.
This tale is stolen bodily from Dr. Beat-
school, and the initials in the :

EXPERIENCE IN FEEDING COTJON-

It Will not Do, Says 'a Practical Butter
Maker, to Feed Whole Cottonseed to
Butter Making Cows—How He Learned
the Fact—Clinming.
My wife is a fine judge of butter, and
I secured as a customer a friend that I
knew could not only judge butter but
would also speak his mind. Setting in
shallow pans, with a thermometer. 0. rec-
tangular churn and lever butter worker,
I began to get my experience. During
the first winter I frequently tried the
experiment of using whole cottonseed,
mixing with the feed for twelve cows at
different times all quantities, from a
peck each down to three gallons to the
whole herd. Sometimes I boiled it one
hour, sometimes half a day, sometimes
fed it raw. Invariably my wife would
tell me, “You gave the cows cottonseed
yesterday and the butter is spoiledz” in-
variably my cpicurean customer would
write, ‘ ‘Your butter is mixed and sticky.”
I then quit the use of the seed alto-
gether, usinjg cottonseed meal in its
place, being thoroughly satisfied. and
worked up a. reputation that was A1.
Last winter I found my young dairy
paying me but little besides my butter‘s
reputation, and I' saw my neighbors
feeding almost exclusively on whole cot-
tonseed and selling all their output, and

a scintilla of evidence to support the
0th.:1‘s.
But let us examine the little hatchet
story. The father of the young here,
we are told. took great pains to inspire
his son with an early love of truth. Af-
ter describing the downward course of
the prevaricator he is made to exclaim:
“Rather than see you come to this pass.

would I assist to nail you up in your lit-

Hard, indeed, would it be to give up
my son, whose little feet are always so
ready to run about with me. and whose
fondly looking eyes and sweet prattle
make so large a part of my happiness,
but still I would give him up rather than
see him. a common liar."
sures George that while some parents
compel their children to become liars
“by barbarously beating them for every
little fault," it shall not be so in their
case. “Whenever, by accident, you do
anything wrong, which must often be
the case, as you are but a poor little boy
yet, without experience or knowledge,
you must never tell a falsehood to con-

installment of whole cottonseed. Repu-

sticky, tallowy, oleo." and everything
else. I expressed a sample to Hoard’s
Dairyman, Reply came that the expert
thought "it must- have been frozen on
the route, for romething‘had ruined it.”
I hauled the cottonseed out on my poor
ground and replaced it with cottonseed
meal, and my supply has not been equal
to the demand since.
I secured a sample of butter from a
’ man that I know used cottonseed to a
: considerable extent and sent it to an ex-
‘ pert through a friend.
My friend wrote
me: “The expert ‘got on his ear’—-said
you were putting up a " lb on him: that
it was not butter at all."
Now if any one doubts any of the
5 above assertions let him feed his cows

like a little man, and tell me of it, and
instead of beating you. George, I will =
but the more honor and love you for it,
my dear.” Need we longer marvel at
George's penchant for mischief and his
readiness to own up?
The anecdote, told in Weems’ rambling
manner, is as amusing as the prelimi-
nary remarks. He gives as his authority
“an excellent old lady,” and declares
that the narrative is "‘too valuable to be
The
climax reminds one of Bill Nye in his
happiest vein:
“Presently George and his little
hatchet made their appearance. ‘George,’
said his father, ‘do you know who killed .
that beautiful little cherry tree yonder
in the garden?’ This was a tough ques-
tion, and George staggered under it for
a. moment, but quickly recovered him-
self, and looking at his father with the
sweet face of youth brightened with the
inexpressible charm of all conquering
truth, he bravely cried out: ‘I can’t tell
a lie, pa; you know I can’t tell a lie. I
did cut it with my hatchet.’ ‘Run to my
arms, you dearest boy,’ cried his father
in transports, ‘run to my arms; glad am
I, George, that you killed my tree [he
puts a premium upon mischief for the 5
sake of hearing the truth], for you have 9 ‘
paid me for it a thousand fold. Such an
act of heroism [although the lad knew in
advance that he would not be punished
. but commended], my son, is more worth
than a thousand trees, though blossomed
with silver and their fruits of purest
gold.’ ”
Though ignored by Sparks, Marshall,
Washington Irving, Ramsay, Lossing
and attacked by other serious biogra-
phers, the myth of the little hatchet has
survived, and probably will survive for
ages to come. Its acceptance and popu-
larity are largely due to writers like Mrs.
C. M. Kirkland, who, in 1857, published
a life of Washington “especially adapted
to young. people,” in which she praises
Weems’ “entertaining boo " and “the
poetic style of the narrator,” and declares
that the various anecdotes are “told with =
the richness of Jean Paul,” and, in her
opinion, on goodiauthOi-ity.
Shorn of its weak preliminaries and
told as if the youthful culprit expected
punishment, the hatchet story became a
favorite selection in the common school
readers, and served as excellent 3. pur-
se as the best table from Esop.
- e advent of the American humorist
and the birth of the comic ress made it
still more familiar, and w at with~the
naming of a. comedy and a. newspaper-in
its honor, the littlehatchet has passed
into a proverb, and, strange to say, be-
come the very synonym for truth.

\Vhen I fed much whole cottonseed
I used a forty gallon square box churn,

to call it butter) came in from ten to
thirty minutes.

Cows for W'inter Dairying.
There is trouble in having the cows

in October.
begin to calve by Sept. 1, or the last of
them will not come into the dairy until
the first of December. Still there will
be a few of the cows that will not be
“dictated to,” and, withthe usual re-'
sult, some of the best cows will come in
next season very late and take their
place among the summer springers. and
often these are sold to go to New York
or Philadelphia to recruit the city milk
dairies there. The money thus received
for the springer goes into a western cow
that comes in later, the exchange being
about an even “swap.” Nearly every
town has a. cow merchant who buys
summer milkers of the farmers to go
east, and also brings in droves from cen-
tral and western Ohio and sells to these
same farmers. The overplus of these
droves is added to the others and a com—
bined “load" is sent east. In this way
the dairyman who is alert to his busi-
ness is enabled to dispose of cows that
do not come in at the right season to
those who want all-the-year-round dai‘
ries at little if any sacrifice of first cost.

Get Caught.
A Pueblo milk peddler named Martin
S. Smith has been arrested for working
the pump handle too vigorously. He
used a secret chemical in making milk
which was sold to the hotels and res-
taurants in large quantities. A five‘ gal-
lon can was filled nine-tenths full of
water, in which twelve or fifteen drops
of the fluid were placed. This was then
stirred up, turnin"r the contents of the
can to a light brown color. Two quarts
of milk thrown on to the mixture gave
it the appearance of the genuine lacteal
fluid, including a froth. It could not be
detected from' the real article by either
