For more than thirty years he had been identifieil with Shoomaker's first as an employee but for the last twenty years as sec- retary of the Shoomaker company. Shoomaker’'s has been the resort of statesmen and politicians since he- fore the No drinking place in Washington was better k=~5vn or had more distinguished patrons. Lectures Were Brief. Williamson, it is believed, was known to more well known men throughout the. country from having ministered to their thirsts than any other mixer of drinks in the United States, and yet for twenty vears he had not taken a drink himself. Mor¢ than once he called the attention of men to this fact when he felt that they were going too far. His tem- perance lecturss were brief, but ef- fective. “‘Keep it up, young man,” said George one day to a Dbibulous and noisy patron. “I used to be doing just what you are now doing. One day the doctor told me I had but one kid- ney left and'I decided I needed that to run on for the rest of my life. But | keep it up, you are having fun now.” The effect of such lectures as these restrained morc than one drinker who probably would never have been reached by Billy Sunday or the mis- sion. Mixed Frst Gin Rickey. Williamson mixed the first gin rickey ever served over a bar in tha United States, according to his friends The dickey was named after the man who directed Williamson to mix it and it was served to Col. Joe Rickey of Missouri, a well known politician and bon vivant in Washington a guar- century ago.

Rear Admiral Padger retirel be- cause he had'reached the age limit of active service—not because he was any less the capable or alert than when he took the Atlantic flcet to Mexican ‘waters in April, 1914, wnen Huerta re fused to salute the flag, The retired rear admiral comes of a fighting stock. He is a good fighter today. He is recognized as a naval officer of unusual tact, ability and con scientiousness, and if it were not for | that retirement law Charles J. Pad- | gér would be ‘“‘active yeet. Retirement Causes Regret, “Must a man of Badger's type get out at the age of sixty-two?”" an offi- cial of the navy department was asked. “Is there no way to keep a 'live one’ on the list "® “The retirement is automaztic,” said | the official in matter-of-fact words, but with a touch of regret. “Rear | Admiral Badger even leaves the gen- cral beard, unless he requests speci- fically to remain thereon, and then it’s a question of a special dispensa- tion. He's as-able as they make 'em, I know, but, on the otnei nand, he's crtitled to take it easy for awhile now.” Ancestors Naticn's Fighters, The name Badger has :ong been as- sociated with the military =nd naval Mrvice of the United States. The re- tiring admiral was almost predestined to sail the seas on the bpattleships of liis country, for his ancestors, from the time of the revolution to the date of Charles J.

The mother of Rear Admiral Badger was the daughter of a naval officer: his two sisters married naval offic and the son of the retiring adn::ra: is now an ensign. Descended From Giles Badger. Away back before the days of Com- wodore Badger, the ancestors of Rear Admiral Badger saw service, The family is descended from Giles Badger, who came from England and settled in Nedbury, Mass., previous to 16335. The long list of “fighting Badgers” be- gins with General Josepa Badger, sr., and General Joseph Badger, jr., of Revolutionary days, and closes with William Badger, an aviator who was killed in these modern days of air flights. Rear Admiral Badger's latest con- spicuous service was in Mexican waters, to which he took the Atiantic ficet when it looked as if this countrv might go to war with Mexico early in i914. When he reached southern waters Admiral Badger demonstrated that he was “true blue” and an officer | above petty jealousies and ambitions | by virtually stepping aside and permit- ting Rear Admiral Fletcher, his sub- | ordinate official, to have full swing in carrying out the work Fletcher had | begun before Badger's arrival. Daniels Lauds Rear Admiral. Secretary Daniels - publicly com- mended Admiral Badgers course at Tampico in these words: “I have watched your handling of the fleet with every interest, and have net found you wanting in any of the elements that go to make a great naval officer.
