Another historian, name unknown, but
believed to have been a vaudeville artist
or newspaper humorist has said that
the first time Washington ever rode in a
carriage was when he took a hack at the
cherry tree. This would have been quite
as true had the jokesmith said taxicab
and everybody knows there were no taxi.
cabs in those days Why so truthful q
person as Washington was known to have
been should be the origin of so much and
such glaring untruth is one of those
psychological mysteries that you can't
break into with a Jimmy.
In his youth George Washington was a
land surveyor all over Virginia, but ne did
not know the value OF starting boom
town, such as later made the south famous
and feathered the nests Of promoters, so
when he had a chance to join the army he
went at II quick. At this time he was not
yet old enough to vote for president of the
United States, but as he was not in it for
political purposes he didn't care much about
that He was under General Braddock and
went with him out to Pittsburg to fight
the French and Indians.
After safely returning from Pittsburg,
which only those who cannot tell lie can
DO these days, washington waited around
to see what might be doing next and
presently he entered the revolution as COM
mander-in-chief of the continental army.
It was hard shedding for George at times
in this revolution business, and frequently
the music his tattered soldiers marched to
was ragtime, but he stuck It out and sue
eeeded after a strenuous career OF nearly
eight years in pulling the proposition
through without a scratch on his skin and
bringing along with him the American
eagle, the Stars and Stripes, the Declara-
ton OF Independence and the Fourth of
July, all in good shape and condition and
better right this minute than they ever
were. Hooray for George! II he had never
done anything more than this he would
be entitled to the thanks Of congress and
of the entire community. Even II the little
Ratchet story had been different II would
not have cut any ice with the people in
their esteem for G. w.
