the American hog and give him per-

the statistics in black and white. The
average hog will root up half an. acre

year. He'll so down to the subsoil and

he would die before he would drink
taxed tea. The more he thought of it
the madden he got, and the madden he
got the more he ached to show King
George that he had chip on his
shoulder. All that was needed was a
leader, and suddenly he came forward.
He had little to say, but that little was
to the point.
Folding his arms across his pa
triotic breast and setting out with
sturdy strides for the harbor, he said:
Every man who pants to fill an
honored grave will follow me. 1 am
tired of corn-coffee and sassafras tea.
but never, never will 1 submit to the
edicts of a tyrant'
Hooray for liberty shouted the
populace in chorus, and next minute a
great mob was surging forward to
strike the first blow for freedom.
History tells you how the ships were
boarded and tea flung into the harbor.
l have thought it would have been
better to have sold the tea to s.me sec
ond-hand dealer and used the money
to buy frecraekers and lemonade and
other eoncomitants of patriotism, but
those freemen probably did what they
thought was for the best. Having
once made start, they were not salts
fed with the tea business. They met at
Fanuel Hall and speakers were on hand

to the Father of his Country. He
crowded his army into boats, brayed
the dangers of the river, and landing
upon the other shore he won victory
which made the shingles rattle on the
roof OF every cabin in America. Our
picture represents Washington as he
crossed, and the lop-shouldered, cross
eyed son CT freedom who can gaze up
Oh it without feeling his heart thump-
ing against his ribs would sell the stars
off the American flag for 10 cents
apiece. Forget @. Hope Jones, Mark
Hanna, Richard Croker and Tom PIatt
if you will. but as long as this is Amer
ica do not forget George Washington.
For various reasons now skip 5ey-
eral illustrations which might be
shown. The principal reason is that
they were battles in which we got lick
ed, and | do not think it the proper
thing to encourage the British to think
they got anything out Of that affair
worth Dragging about. We skip the
set-backs and pass on to Yorktown.
AS Lexington was the beginning of the
struggle of freedom, so was Yorktown
the end. Lord CORVALLIS was there
with an army which had been sent over
to deal the patriots a death blow. He
was in a hurry to get back home and
husk his corn and dig his potatoes be-
fore cold weather came on, and he
therefore began to smash things as
soon as he landed Ee ripped things
up the back in an amazing way for
few days, and it seemed as if freedom
was likely to be largely diluted with
water, when that same General Green
went to Washington once more and
said:
