WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.


Today the schools all over the land will
receive an object lesson in patriotism, and
have held up before them the life of a
man whose character was of the noblest,
and whose patriotism has never been
questioned. One hundred and sixty-two
years ago today was born George Wash
and courage carried the colonies through
the revolution, and through whose sagac-
ity and wisdom was laid the foundation
of this government.
This afternoon the schools Of Aberdeen
commemorate his birth by appropriate
and instructive exercises. In this great
state which bears his name, and which
lies SO far beyond what even his ardent
hope dared even dream for the young ma
ton; in this young city lying on its west
ern borders, the children Of the pioneers
OF this generation recite his praises.
