GEORGE WASHINGTON.

To morrow is the birthday of
George Washington who is per-
haps the greatest American char
acter that the western Hemisphere
has yet produced; born in the
timbered fields on a farm near
Mt. Vernon, Va, in 1882. We
see him grow into manhood, a
bright strong honest young man
and at the age of 19 leading the
British general through the wild
woods of America. Thus you
redi1y know his history until
he became the hero of the revo-
lutionary war. The founder OF
this republic. Its first president.
AS we read of his hardship, star
vation, deprivitations and long
suffering of him and his little
army in winter at Valley Forge
and elsewhere. Later we see him
rise, conquer, victor and be-
came first in war, first in peace
and first in the love of his country
men, is indeed phenomenal. He
was truly the father of his
country, and Lincoln the savior
All can draw great lessons from
such noble characters.

low their captive TO return to the fort
but he was too willy for them. He said
he would be termed a deserter if he
should return, and volunteered to cast
his lot with them. The vigilance of the
captors relaxed after this somewhat
and Wade was able to communicate
with farmer they met and induced
him to form posse and intercept them
at certain crossing further down the
road.
When they approached the crossing,
Wade's heart sank within him, for
there was not sign of an armed body
of men, and he thought his scheme had
failed. When the crossing was reached,
however, a dozen burly farmers with
loaded shotguns raised up out of the
weeds at the roadside and covered the
deSerters.
They were returned to this city last
night and Will be taken to Fort Crook
today. Stotz was serving a sentence
OF eighteen months for desertion and
burglary. while Hymer was being held
for desertion from the regiment while
vt was in the Philippines and would
soon have been given a trial. The men
refuse to talk more than to admit that
they belong to Fort Crook
