In several states. giovernors lighted the principal. fires which ‘were. made ihe. occasion of. .patriotic demonstra: tions, ‘ i “itd Here a roaring bonfire, fed, by, fag; ots,fro mhistoric.spots in.many. states, was lighted at the ebase of the, Wash- ington monument by #Irs. W. G.. Mc: Adoo, wife of the secretary of the treasury. Low-lying clouds, drizzling rain upon the thousands of spectators, reflected the pink glow of the flames, The monument itself stood in bril- liant light from foundation to sum mit, the latter lost from time to time in the shadows of drifting clouds. Virtually the entire population of the city witnessed the unusual scene from their homes. Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson braved the rain to see it. Mrs. McAdoo lighted the fire with a trench’candle sent from Quebec and set in a candlestick given by Napol- con Bonaparte to ‘his brother Joseph and later presented to President Jack- son. ‘then from many historic spots went into the fire fagots of wood.

In the Itwonty-fith cha; ter of Johnson's “TR the prince addresses the River " Nile as “great father of waters, thou that rollest thy floods through eighty nations.” Rasgelas was published in| 1759 and as far as classic fame is con- cerned this Nile has much better claim " A DAKOTA WOMAN, N.
