The Case of WASHINGTON

that young George must have taken
the blame just to please his father.
A more convincing argument was
made by Mendacious ex-Chief Engi-
neer OF the Panama canal. who showed
that the tree was a sea-level cherry
and therefore could not be damaged
readily by an enemy. Mendacious ex-
c. E. OF the +. G. did not make much
impression upon the members, who
showed more attention when Nature
Faker Long began mis- address.
n. F. Long began by saying that he
was convinced the cherry tree had
been cut down by saw-toothed wood
pecker. This bird is so-called because
II has large circular saw In Its bill.
The woodpecker operates the saw
with its feet, gaining great speed at
times. and is serious menace TO
orchards in the districts where II
abounds. as 1t can fell a tree in five
minutes. The only way to prevent the
revages OF the bird is to bind the
trees with steel cables, and as these
were unknown in Washington's day IL
is virtually certain that the tree was
cut down by a woodpecker. George,
being tender-hearted boy, probably
assumed the blame to prevent his
father from shooting the bird.
y. +. Longs speech was much APP
Ilauded. and at its conclusion the
united clubs unanimously voted that
Washington was eligible TO honorary
membership.

BY WEEK JONES.

AT largely attended joint meeting
OF the Undesirables and the Members
OF the Ananias club, the case Of
George washington and the Cherry
Tree was discussed at length.
Malefactor Of Great Wealth (alias
Millionaire with Hard Face and Soft
Body argued that Washington was
fully qualified TO join the club. mas
much as he declared he had cut down
the tree when common sense showed
that he didn't.
Who" asked Malefactor OF Great
Wealth, in fine burst of oratory. who
would cut down the tree that laid the
golden eggs?' (Cheers)
Only a crazy person would cut down
a valuable tree, continued the speaker,
and Washington was not crazy. IL
might have been an attempt 10 create
an artificial shortage In the cherry
crop and thus enhance prices, but
then more than one tree would have
been cut down.
Amid terrific cheering. Malefactor ~
Great Wealth concluded by saying EN-
phatically that George did not cut
down the tree and was therefore ell
c.ble IS member OF their celebrated
organization.
Malefaetor was followed by Weak
ling, who stated that IL was impossi-
bic for a youth without assistance to
cut down full grown cherry tree, and
