RECORDS DISPEL
CHERRY TREE TALE

Washington, Oct. 5.-Docuoentary
evidence has just been discovered in
Fairfax county, Virginia, to prove that
George Washington was not always re-
garded by his %neighbors as a model Of
veracity. At the May term Of the
Fairfax county court in 1850 he was
publicly presented" by the grand jury
for swearing to a false list of his tax
able property.
In other words. twelve citizens in his
home county officially branded him a
liar and tax dodger.
The discovery of this record was
made by Captain r. Donahue, editor
of the Fairfax Herald, a weekly paper.
While seeking data for a history Of
the county which he is engaged in writ
ing, Donahue examined ancient records.
In the musty depths of pages yellow
with age, he unearthed proof of the fact
that In 1850 criminal proceedings were
instituted against Washington for not
entering his property for taxation, an
ioffense which involved the taking of
IA false oath.

BY EYES BEWTCHED,
TRAIN IS DlTCHED
Switchmen Now Must Tell Of
How the Wreck Was Caused
Because They Paused.

Elwood, Ind, Oct. IA wrecking crow
Of the Lake Erie and Western toiled late
into the night picking up an engine and
several cars that left the track at the Jay
Grain company's elevator here.
The engine and cars were ditched by two
smile-illuminated faces and four laugh
Ing eyes. 1t happened this way:
Two Elwood girls went out to walk,
And fair of face were they,
So fair indeed that the switching crew was
completely carried away.
The switching crew forgot it's toll and
gave no heed to a switch
That lay there open before them, and
dumped the train In a ditch.
Inc Elwood maids, as as was said before,
had gone for a little walk,
And when the switchmen saw them, they
began to grin and gawk.
The maidens smiled and the switchmen
smiled and the engine rumbled on.
With never a fear
OF drawing near
The elevators lawn.
The maidens cast their chances sweet to
the sWltchmen on the cars,
The sWitchmen fairly danced with gIea
and whispered: Amt they stars?"
But alas and alack
The railroad track
Was not of the lovelorn style;
The cars soon jumped
And quickly bumped
The whole blamed train in a pile.
The switch wasn't closed
AS the men supposed,
And II proved to the crew uncouth
That the adage Is straight
AS sure as fate
That true love don't run smooth.
And now the boys of the switching crew
nave got to tell the boss
How four bright eyes
Made them hit the ties,
And cause such an awful loss.

well in the next fourteen years he
would be pleased to present to the pa
rents OF the twenty-five children a for
ty-acre farm. we'll stocked and in a

He admits now that he never will get
