,Carlin as he started for his buggy.
Tired with his day. George Wash
ington alternately slumbered and
logged awake rs the buggy whiried
along oyer the rough Virginia road to
Fairview hall.
When at last they drew up Ia the
circle before the door. and he had
hitched the horse to the old locust at
the corner Of the veranda. George
Washington lost no time in climbing
to his bed over the back kitchen.
1t was not destined to long. He
wasi brought out Of sleep and his
quilts with Z. Jerk and . hand grasp
ing his collar. The hand was that Of
Mr. Carlin. and It marched George
Washington down the kitchen stairs,
through the dining room into the par.
dor. > where Miss Ciaribei was sitting
with an Indignant flush on her face
and her eyes swapping.

Miss Claribel colored. It was one
thing to- ask questions and quite an
other to answer them. George saw
his advantage.

Mary did say one day dat she wisht

THE IRUIHFUlAfsS OF {. W. /.


His first name was George. and
as he was the color of strong coffee,
Of course his last name was Washing
ton. He had eyes as white as clab-
be-, teeth to match. He was running
away, as any one else might whose
birthday had gone wrong.
You see it was his first birthday-at
least the first he had ever known. He
had discovered the date of it in uncle
Soils almanac-Feb. %, George Wash
ington's birthday
He had heard that those lucky
enough to have birthdays got presents
thereon, and that there was to be a
holiday and parade of the fremen
in the nearby towns in honor of this
occasion. He was naturally rather
proud and anticipatory in conse-
quence.
And then the day had come, and
there were no birthday gifts from the
white folks as he had hoped, he was
not allowed to go to town to see his
own procession. and instead of a
holiday he had been rated for laziness
and put on the. weOdpile.
Was it any wonder under these &C.
cumulated grievances. that he ran
away. and now stood, a rather SILVER
ing figure, in the muddy, half-frozen
road, while he waited Win persua.

George, as he stood behind old Miss
Mary's chair. had observed and drawn
conclusions for. himself.
Mr.. Carlin had not been near the
Fairview plantation, however, since
tho first of the year, and 1t was said
that he and Miss Claribel had quar-
relied. but still there was q chance OF a
lift to town. and George was not the
| one to lose chances. -gs&s>t

Carlin was .gOodnatnred fellow,
and besides wanted news Of his be-
loved 80 he made, room for the boy
beside him. In return he got the
news.
George knew what Carlin wanted,
and glided with the celebrity of prac-
tice from the general into the particu.

most intsFest his host.

Lewis, Kans., June l6. Growing
weary of the constant and recurring
violations of the peace and order of
their village, the citizens of Lewis
have arisen en- nasse to either put
down or throw out the disturbers.
Lewis is a clean, moral town and
will continue its good reputation. To
those sojourners who cannot content
themselves with following their occu-
pations peacefully and industriously
the suggestion that there are four
trains out of town daily. is good one.
| If the trains are not running on
schedule time, walking is good.
Justice Lee Hardy says the laws of
the state of Kansas must be respected.
and that order and sobriety must
prevail so long as he is magistrate.
Conseq he has been enforcing
statutory prices recently and a ca
rouse costs S2S. 10 in his jurisdiction.
The laws must be obeyed, is the idea.
From this time forth, the imbibers
of old rye extract will, if they take a
second look, see state warrant at
the bottom of the bottle, By inquir-
ing of the justice of peace or his con-
stable, those planning for bolster
GUS time can get "full" schedule of
prices before getting into trouble and
can figure their bill up before getting
into action.
A jail sentence of thirty days is
provided for those who cannot pay
their fines, and also for those upon
whom a inc of $500 will make no
impression. The,ways of the trans
gressers will be hard around Lewis
hereafter.
,Reposing special confidence in the
faithfulness of j. r. Bridges, the citi-
zens had him appointed peace officer,
and in case it should be necessary for
him to summon assistance he has his
choice of hundred husky and will
ing deputies.
