C. w. DID THINGS

They say the story is not true
About that little cherry tree;
There are some other stories, too,
That we should take most guardedly;
They tell US, who pretend to know,
That he was not model tad;
OF one thing we are certain, though,
He put CORVALLIS to the bad.
That story of the dollar which
He threw across the wide, wide
stream,
They say is nothing but the rich
Result of some old dreamer's dream;
They may be right, do not know;
We may believe or we may doubt;
One thing has been established, though,
He put old man CORVALLIS out.

BIRTHDAY
WAsHINeToN's BI
PARTY

At a Washington's birthday party
the guests should be arranged two by
two to represent the 22d. There
should be a booming of business on
the part of the gentlemen, and the Ia
dies should bang their hair and circu-
late reports.
A cherry tree may be represented by
the bows of the guests and the lips of
the ladies. A dog might furnish the
bark and also delight the guests when
he leaves.
Hens should be in evidence because.
like Washington, they do not lie and
because they furnish the Ratchet idea.
To carry out the hatchet idea at the
table serve chops garnished with
Saratoga chips. The conversation
should flag frequently.

HIS FUNNY SIDE.

George Washington one summer day
Said: my, this life is tameI
I'm going to do some sort of thing
To win undying fame"
He had a bunion on one foot
And couldn't walk. you see.
So he remarked, I'll take hack
At yon small cherry tree
When Georges folks got hungry-lilze
For something good to eat
They didn't phone the butcher man
To send 'em up some meat;
They hustled out their little George,
But not to seek the shops.
His Ratchet in his hand, he went
And juggled up some chops
He had a little ak, did George.
And once his mother good
Said. go out in the back yard, son,
And split some lindIing wood
George held his sides, his face grew
red
A most amusing sign
He laughed until they thought he'd
split,
But he didn't split the pine.
One day they sent the youngster out
To make some nice soft soap.
His daddy said. Now George, you
Won't shirk the Job, hope"
When pa went out to see if George
Had made the soap-oh, myl
George said, 'T failed to do 1t, sir,
I cannot tell the lye."
ri want a Ratchet, pa" he said.
His dad replied: "All right
A hatch-it you shall have. my son;
I'll bring it home tonight"
When evening came young Georges
sire,
His face lit up with Joy,
An incubator brought and said,
''Well, here's your hatch-it, boy

It may be that he ne'er bestrode
A frisl<y colt that bucked and kicked;
Wild oats by him may have been sowed,
In school he may have been well
licked;
He was but human, as we know,
With human frailties, human hopes;
One fact remains mistaken, though,
He put CORVALLIS through the ropes.
1t may be that he some time erred
He was no saint nor demigod;
We need not praise his every word
Nor every act of his applaud;
He had his failings, as we know,
His vision oft perhaps was blurred;
This much remains undoubted.
though
He put a crimp in George the Third.

TOAST FOR The 22p.

Men loved their country as their homes
And made for it all sacrifice;
They gave their honor and their lives,
At fortunes drew no scruple nice;
They fought against the greatest odds,
It's liberty their sole intent:
A nation twas of patriots
When Washington was president.
And rouse the envy of the poor;
No anarchism-equal foe
To public weal-stood at our door.
We might do worse, with all our boast
OF progress, as it's fairly meant,
And mix some spirit of the times
When Washington was president.

FIRST PRESIDENT.

I never chopped a cherry tree,

The honors that have come to me
Have been but little ones and few;

Nor led an army anywhere;
I never took a single town,
But I have crossed the Delaware.

MY sleeves were never trimmed with

T never handed out a shock
That shook old England to her base;

But I have crossed the Delaware.

NOW, here is George, a growing kid;
He wasn't such a gump.
He chopped that cherry tree, he did.
Then sat upon the stump.
It was a scheme extremely neat
To get himself coy seat.

SCORES EVILS OF
PADRONE SYSTEM

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-Evils
of the padrone system of labor, by
which Italian immigrants are kept IN
a condition of virtual slavery for
months, and sometimes for years,
after their arrival in this country,
were outlined by Chevalier Di Palma
Castiglione of the Italian Immigrant
Bureau of New York. at today's ses-
sion of the National Congress- Of
Italians in Horticultural Hall.
AS a remedy, he recommended that
organizations be formed to meet the
immigrant at the ship sides and 10
encourage him to join labor unions,
so that he may not be at the mercy Of
the padrone. The speaker also urged
that Italians work for the passage Of
laws that will benefit the working
men. as it is common experience for
immigrants when they first arrive IN
this country 10 engage in manual
labor.
