THIS is A HOLIDAY.
Birthday of Washington Is OBJ
served Today.

There IS no use looking at Washing
tons birthday in the old prosaic way
nor from the standpoint of the ICON
oclast- Better look at it from the
George AIDE or Finley Peter Dunno
standpoint.
There is no use in trying to cover all
the points Take one subject in con-
nection with the event of the advent
of G. Washington. The axe will do
The axe has been an important and
prominent instrument in history since
an early date. The old crusader who
Slaughtered with a twenty pound battle
Ratchet will last longer in history than
any master of arms who pinked his ad-
versary neatly with a sword. Abraham
Lincoln chopped his way into prom
inence, as did Carrie Nation. The Pill
grim Fathers chopped a hole in the
wilderness and called it hons The axe
and bundle of kindling is a prominent
feature in most of the old country
crests. and stands for the great deeds
or some remote ancestor of the house.
George Washington was not personally
acquainted with either Lincoln or Carrie
Nation but he knew enough history to
realize that if he would be prominent,
he must connect himself with some in
cident wherein an axe was the prime
factor. Hence the undying story of the
slaughtered fruit tree and subsequent
confession. Some dySpeptic parties
have attempted to mar the beauty of
this story by limiting that little George
was spotted in the act by his paternal
ancestor, and, being found with the
goods, knew that it was not worth his
while to lie about it Instead of giving
him credit for his truthfulness, they
hold him up to the youth of the land
as having remarkable hedging ability
for one of his years. The man who
would butt in like that would do any
thing else that was mean and diShonor-
able. He is the same person who casts
a gloom over happy childhood by telling
the little ones there is no Santa Claus.
1t is not because George Washington
mad1 his mark on his fathers cherry
tree that the nation has made it a rule
to celebrate his birthday, but the pleas
ant legend will live as long as the ma
ton he took a prominent part in estab-
fishing

ONE ON JOHN COYNE.
Put Two Deaf and Dumb Men Out For
Talking.

Bailiff John Coyne, of the district
court, is mad today. Mad at himself
probably, but he gets quite excited when
people say anything about the deaf and
dumb alphabet.
There was a trial in progress in the
court room yesterday afternoon. Coyne
is a stickler for order. He flies around
the room like a hawk trying to keep
people quiet. Now and then he falls
over chair or steps on some ones corns
