Hut chiefly because he did not pose and posture for his own or future generations, had no taste or talent for self-advertising, » He is different from all the others of the exceedingly limited company of the world’s very great men in many respects. In this one respect his aloofness, his superiority is towering, startling. Run over the whole list of great men from the beginning down to Teddy the Strenuous and William the Holy. If you have a sense of humor, if you are not easily caught by tricks and “stage effects" you will burst out laugning again and again as you see the self-conscious, vain great of earth, weak as the weakest in the passion for admiration and applause, thinking always, “I am making history. The eyes of the world are upon me.” Not so Washington, There is nowhere such an example of unconscious- ness of self, of unconsciousness of greatness or grandeur or herolam or @ » even Importance. 4 KCTED Without any arranging of the stage. without TO GO LION HUNTING AND TO any carefully thought-out epigrams, without any CANT IN PUBLIC. posing or study of “effects,” he simply DID. (peer norepeeent s He didn’t want “the credit;" indeed he seemed unaware that there was any especial credit attaching to doing one's duty. He didn’t look out of the corners of his eyes at the populace. He just did his duty like a man, a great man, a gentleman. To the ordinary person who writes history the absence of all the fa- millar Iime-lights and “fate” and costumes and groupings which other great men put about themselves to make their drama picturesque, is most con- fusing, most irritating. He thinks that the trouble Is in the man, that Washington must have been a stupid, uninteresting fellow. He does not ses that the trouble is in himself, In that he has come with a foot-rule to measure a mountain. ‘There was never a more fascinating, more romantic, more splendid career than Washington's. Thero never was one so well calculated to move, not the shallow emotions that agitate audiences at the play, but the real, the genuine, the profound emotions. Once you get your mind focused to this mighty figure, you watch it with every faculty on- tranced. Beside it all the kings and the generals, all the heroes of peace and war that throng the highways of history, seem small or cheap, or both. Why? For the very same reason that it Is hard to write his biography—because he was never self-conscious, never vain, never tawdry; because he did his splendid life-work, from the very beginning to the very end, so quietly, so #imply, so naturally, so well. While there Is no great biography of Washington. there are several good ones. Of these perhaps the best is Woodrow Wileon’s “Washington,” published by Harpers’, Prof. Wilson appreciated Washington and produced and 1 feur he cell! never see me any more, the theaght of which nearly wreaks my heart ow, T would like to know how ' can recall bim IN LQVE he young man Jost suck a | as you have written me, | thnk he will be willing to over: look Vour carelessness, but you should provit by: your experience, and do not p chon femt asain that i ts consideced form to break appolutments or ats without proper eaease and EIGHT LITTLE THINKS, WIN bables are irue compa inearms Life's tovuln de made of apertence slight hing at Work and others IN THE SOUP You know the bald a book that you cannot afford to miss.
