home, but his courage never failed him and
he pushed on.
When the sky looked blackest he would plan
some campaign to make of defeat victory.
A happy illustration of this was when one
Christmas night the soldiers were quite ready
on the banks of the Delaware. Pointing to
the other side, he said: "Our enemy is camp
ing there" They were Hessian soldiers and
since it was Christmas night they were cele-
brating. 1t was with difficulty the army
crossed for the night was wild, dark and cold
But in spite of the great blocks of ice on the
river. Washington managed to get his army
across, and a victory was the result A more
difficult year was spent in Valley Forge II
was a long, cold winter the soldiers hungry
for food. and they did not have enough clothing
and blankets to keep themselves warm. Many
times they were on the verge of mutineering.
It was only By means of his tact and good
Judgment that he brought harmony into camp
and gave the war a successful ending
After leaving the army he went back home
and spent much time improving the farm. The
Mount Vernon estate gradually became an
pensive affair. Here he kept open house, and
never day went by without his receiving call
ers and friends Some of the dinners and
levees were often elaborate, and he struggled
hard not to appear bored. He had hoped to
spend the rest of his life among these pleasant
surroundings He often told his friends Let
those who wish such things Office be at the
head of things. / do not wish them. All de-
sire now is to settle down at Mount Vernon
and to enjoy my farm" But after the constitu-
tion was ratified and the votes of the electors
were opened and counted 1t was found that
everyone had voted for Washington. During
his presidency he had many knotty problems.
but he met them all with good sense and judg
ment. Because he played the double role of
commander of the army and the first president
OF this nation equally well he is entitled to the
name, the Father of His Country.

late Moncure d. Conway, unless he has family
treed an ancestor of George Washington" Yet,
despite the many clever scholars and antiquar-
ians of America who have tried their hands at
this sport" it has remained for fellow of
the Royal Historical society of England, Rev.
Frederick w. Ragg, to convey to us the latest
interesting revelation regarding the ancestry
of our first president
Barring those that champion the truly demo
cratic standpoint, less prevalent to-day than
it was in 1920 which scorns to connect itself
with old world titles and abhors royalty, there
remain many liberal souls among us who do
not grudge to one who was acknowledged first
in war and first in peace a share in the homage
accorded the first family of England
Edward I. was himself mighty warrior, and
first in many wars; his prowess was early exer.
cised on the Turks, during the last crusade
ever embarked on by England's kings and
when the throne became his own he success
fully carried out his project of uniting England,
Scotland and Wales. He brought the famous
stone of Scone to Westminster abbey, and
under him England became mighty nation.
He was monarch wise and great, even though
he had little leaning toward democratic govern
ment and did not display special fondness for
Magma Charter. Edward Longshanks was not
an ancestor to be despsed by his descendant
George, of kingly bearing and equally long legs
nat lnlS ulrecJ line OF descent mas not until
now been established may seem a bit surpris-
ing in view of the exhaustive research that has
been devoted to the Washington ancestry. The
reason is however not difficult to understand
when one reflects that such research has been
concerned exclusively with the male line, while
this royal blood is introduced into the family
by Margaret Butler, who married Laurence
Washington in 1888.
Mr.. Worthington Chauncey Ford and others
who have made special study of the Washing
ton pedigree trace the line back to John Wash
ington of Whitfield, five generations back of
the aforesaid Laurence and his wife Margaret.
These students state that this Margaret Butler
was the daughter of William Butler of Tighes
Sussex but do not follow the Butler pedigree
back of this point. Here Mr.. Ragg has taken
up the quest, and after careful study of old
records, tombstones and entries in church reg
listers has proved that William Butler father of
Mrs. Laurence Washington, stands tenth in
direct descent from Edward l.
Reference to the above genealogical tree Just
completed by Mr.. Ragg, and verified since its
arrival In America by various genealogical ex-
perts, who have pronounced IL satisfactory will
show conclusively that George Washington is
in the sixteenth generation in direct descent
from the monarch in question, and is there

treat" they obeyed.
Timothy's failure to treat became a
village issue. Around the hot stove
in one of the village groceries the
town "cutups" held consultation and
came to the conclusion that Tim
hadn't done right" Furthermore, they
vowed. by heck, that Tim shouldn't
rest until he had treated his pupils.
For three hours that night they
raised bedlam in front of the Jamison
residence. All to no avail. Tim
showed no disposition whatever to ex-
tend the hospitalities expected of him.
Wen show him, b'gosh," said the
merry wags. With voices somewhat
frazzled by the wear of the night be-
fore, they assembled. They didn't
rely upon noise this time. They
wired up all the doors and windows,
and then one bold spirit climbed up on
the roof and stuffed rags down the
chimney until it was completely
clogged. This left to the Jamisons
the pleasant alternative of being
smothered with smoke or putting out
the fire and enduring the cold.

til We treat the scholars" shouted the
band as they left the Jamison resi-
dence about daybreak.
Superintendent Jamison was
grieved. He appealed to the village
marshal, but that worthy remarked
that he, too, thought, by gum, that
Tim ought to treat.
Consequently the Jamison brothers
and Tins bride have left in disgust,
declaring they will not return. Tho
pupils, while they did not get their
treat, are rejoicing in the extra vaca-

his interview with the French commander he
started for home. The journey back was
worse than going. for the rivers were exceed
ingly treacherous. The French governor re-
fused to heed English commands and continued
to build forts so George Washington was ap-
pointed to command soldiers to march against
the French in the spring This was the begin
ming of a war between the French and English.
which lasted seven years. Gen. Braddock was
sent over from England and George was made
a colonel and commanded the Virginia troops.
Though Braddock was a capable general, he
did not understand the art of fighting the In
dians and refused to heed young Washington's
advice. The general was shot in one of these
engagements. With this the Redcoats began
to run, but Washington tried to call them back.
All day he was in the midst of the fight Four
bullets went through his coat and two horses
were shot under him.
The war at an end Washington returned
home. He was anxious to see his mother, whom
he had not seen in some time. Though Mrs.
Washington was not a brilliant woman, she
had plenty of good judgment and common
sense, and was always ready TO give her son
wise counsel Proud though she was of her
boys energy and desire to serve his country
she was careful not to spoil him by excessive
praise. She loved to hear of the hazards of
war, but she emphasized the dangers more
than her boys success
Hardshps and longfought campaigns had
done much to impair his health, and he went
to Williamsburg to consult a physician. On
this trip he met Mrs Martha Custs, widow OF
Daniel Parke Custis, one of the wealthiest
planters in the colony. They were married
some five months later. Very little is known
of her except that she was petite, pretty and
exceedingly devoted to her husband. She was
very proud of his successes, and used all her
energy to make his trials as easy as she could.
There those who attribute Washington's
first step upward to his marriage. This is GER
tainly untrue, for he was the road to sue
cess when he married her. Whenever Wash
ington went on long campaign his wife took
up headquarters where she might be near him.
These winterings gradually became a regular
custom. She seldom complained, although she
frequently had to put up with inconvenient
headquarters. When Washington was chosen

chew. The word chew" is figurative,
for, of course. nothing is rarer than
hens teeth. This hen pecks at the
tobacco in the can, plainly with great
enjoyment, and, after holding ii in her
mouth a while, elects it.
The love of tobacco must be an ac-
quired taste for hen, just as are
caviar and olives for a man. Mr.. Mil
ler thinks his hen acquired the taste
by eating cuds of tobacco which she
found on his grounds after his man of
all work had no further use for them.
The hen will chew only the best fine
cut OF one particular brand. She has
refused to taste samples of other
brands sent to her by their manufac-
turers, who may have had in mind the

exercise ana little scnooIlng. George loved to
tramp across the fields, forests and to swim
in the streams. His education was gained at
a country school where he was taught for three
hours day. Limited as his education was,
he was fond of reading, and he had a book
into which he copied everything he wished to
remember. In this book he put many rules
which he himself had formulated These are
only few of the many:
Labor to keep alive in your breast that lit
tie spark of celestial fire called conscience"
Think before you speak"
Whisper not in the company of others"
Lawrence, one OF the half brothers, had been
sent to England to school, and the parents
had planned the same for George, but the
father died suddenly, and Mrs. Washington
realized she could not afford to send him across
the ocean. The boy had spent considerable
time the wharf and talking to seamen had
awakened desire for adventure. These sto-
res created a desire to earn living as a sail
or, and he suggested it to his mother. Mrs.
Washington did not like the idea of having
George leave home nor did she approve of his
career. He was sent back to school to study
surveying. When not studying he was training
his company of boys to become soldiers, and he
often got very impatient when they made mis-
takes.
Shortly after his brother Lawrence had mar
ried the daughter of Lord Fairfax member of
this family took great interest in the boy.
He had such a fancy for the lad he put him to
surveying a large tract of land in the Shenan-
doah valley. Though the work was no easy
task he was so strong and enthusiastic he
acquitted himself exceedingly we'll He did

rience of hunger, cold and facing Indian STRAIT
egy. In later years George recalled his expe-
rience of roughing It in the Shenandoah val
ley with great pleasure. This work was sud
denly interrupted by sickness in the family.
Lawrence, his halfbrother, was Ill and the ply
scians sent him to the West Indies. George
went along to keep him company, only to be
taken with smallpox. Although Lawrence
started for home, he died after his return.
This was a great shock to George. for the
brothers were exceedingly devoted; but the
sting of this loss was partly forgotten by a
commission to go to the French who we're

not really important that this question
be decided. Destiny planned a certain
line of work for both men, and they did
that work we'll Their innate ability is
only partly responsible for their sue
cess; it was their unselfishness and de-
sire to do well whatever they under
took which helped them to succeed
where others might have failed. If Lin
coin deserves praise because necessity
spurred him on TO greatness, Washing
ton deserves as much credit because he
became great without being driven on
by necessity. Destiny demanded a
double role of Washington-she made
him a soldier and a statesman, and he
performed both well. His trials as
president were almost as great as those
he encountered as commander-in-chief
of the army. He was placed at the head
of new form of government, and did
not have precedents to guide him in
his undertaking. 1t was his early train
ing which taught him to think calmly
and with judgment. His mind once
made up, to act without fear.
He was born on the banks of the Po-
tomac river in farmhouse; though the
house was far better than a log cabin,
1t was not the mansion it is supposed
TO have been. 1t was a large, roomy
place, with a deep sloping roof and
big outside chimney at either end. He
was one of many children. His father
was rich in crops and land, though he
had little real money. Most Virginia
farmers planted tobacco, and when mon-
ey was scarce they traded this product
for food and clothing. His early years
