Special Papers
on Washington

Dear Children OF the Club:
We have just celebrated the birth OF
one great Virginian, and the r. d. 9. c..
made a fine showing of patriotism and
enthusiasm. Now we must prepare to
do honor to that other great Virsin!au
who stands side by side with Lee on the
pedestal OF fame. / mean Washington.
whose birthday. as every one knows
comes on the ed OF this month.
Now, propose to publish our Wash
ington page on the gath, and 80 your
18th. Notice the date carefully, as a
number OF contributions to the Lee page
came in too late.
Now, listen / do not want TO single
one of you TO try TO write an account OF
Washington's life, because you cannot
possibly write in three hundred words
more than bare outline. which We all
know already. So take just a part and
write some Incidents connected with the
great patriot or with the Revolution.
For instance. one may write Of Wash
ington's schooldays: one OF his ancestors
in England; another OF his expedition
across the Blue Ridge and his cam
paisn with Braddock. or OF his courage
and faith In the bitter days at Valley
Forge. or OF his life during the time
OF his presidency. You may tell OF some
OF his great contemporaries--Lafa
Rochambeau and the American generals.
You may describe his beautiful Virginia
home and his life there for few years
before his dAath. There are so many
different things that you may choose
from: but ! should advise that each
member take only one OF these subjects
and find on. from magazines and his
tories as much as possible about that
one thing. so that we will have room for
a great variety of subjects.
l should also suggest that some of
you write short stories about the Revo-
luton or Washington, and that my good
artists draw pictures of Revolutionary
scenes and characters.
Now. don't forget the date. February
18th. and let us have page TO make
our hearts glad.
With best wishes.

THE LOST TRAVELLER.

Once many years ago there lived an old
lady, who kept house for her gray-haired
husband, who all day long roamed
through woods and forests. hunting lost
travellers. One day as he roamed
through dark forest he heard pitiful
cry, as If some one was In pain.
He came nearer and in the distance he
saw ptiful sight. 1t was little boy
lying on the bank Of. a stream. What
has happened, my boy?" said tho old
man.
The boy was too faint to speak, and
only looked at him with ptiful eyes.
The man took the boy in his arms, and
took him to his home, and after such
a long time he got we'll. And then told
his story, and this is 1t:
"One day my mother got mad with me
and threw me in the river. My faithful
dog, Bruno, heard me cry, and came
ana got me out of the water, after
hard time.
"He Is such faithful dog, asd I have
been on the bank, where you found me,
for two or three nights. II 1t hadn't been
for you, kind man. I would have been
dead long ago.
Never mind; you will get yonr re-
