The Washington herald., 1911-02-19

! - OURfEEN years before the date Of
a this story a baby boy was born to
" Mr.. and Mrs. King. And as he
came on the anniversary of the
birth Of George Washington, he was
named for that much beloved hero, and
as the years went by. and little George
Washington King grew and grew, he be-
came more and more proud of the name
he bore. He learned every thing there
was to learn about the illustrious George
Washington, and the more he learned, the
more he longed and longed to become
hero himself.
How ] should love to go--forth and
fight the savage Indians, as George Wash
ington did," said young George to his
mother one day.
Mrs. King smiled There are no saw
age Indians now, son. But there are
many, many heroic deeds to be performed
every day by brave boys. During our
Great Washington's time, fighting for
Liberty and Justice was every colonist
duty-not his pleasure, dear. But the
Great George Washington would have pre-
ferred peace rather than war, had his
mind in the matter been questioned. But
he had no choice. II meant liberty for
the people Of that time, and war was
necessity The hostile tribes that menaced
the life Of the early settlers Of this coun-
try forced cruel bloodshed. But now
that sweet peace reigns over all our land
there Is no need for my boy to long to
20 forth to fght There ure many, many
ways Of becoming a hero, sonny. other
than a hero Of war. Bullets speak OF
your birthday. 1t will come next week.
Shall we have a partyf'
Yes, MAMMA, let's have a George
Washington party" suggested George.
Let's ask the guests to wear colonial
costume, and to come prepared to read
or recite or sing something about The
Father Of our Country. ! think that the
only appropriate way of celebrating the
twenty second of February. It's the
birthday of a greater person than /, Nam
ma, and should be celebrated in a digni-
fed manner"
Again Mrs. King smiled at her fourteen
year-old son, or at least he would be
fourteen years old on Washington's birth
day, "AlI right, dear, we'll give you n
Washington party. I'm sure your friends
viii enjoy 1t. And they'll have just time
enough to- prepare their costumes, IL the
invitations are sent out today. So, let's
get to work writing the invitations. While

busy discussing what TO wear" And
their mothers and big sisters and aunts
and grandmothers were giving sugges-
lions and advice. Dainty fabrics and sheer

the path one morning on her way to town
with a basket OF eggs.
Well, there were still three buttons
left on JAMES Jacket, and an odd one
at home in the button box. When Mrs
Young noticed the absence OF the second
button. she said: jamie. you sewed on
these buttons very badly. You have lost
two. And only one is at home to supply
the vacancy. What shall We DOR

But / do hope someone has found them

beauty"
jamie did not substitute the pearl but
tons for the steel ones that day, because
Grandfather called to her to join him for
a bOb-sled ride into town. So she put
on her jacket and went with him. On
her return she found two more buttons
gone.
"Oh, how careless OF mel" she cried.
II should have taken care not to lose
any more Of these lovely buttons. Now
/ have but two-one on the jacket and
one at home. / shall surely put the
pearl buttons on this jacket today" And
she did; putting away the one remaining
button.
Well, the two buttons she had lost
while in town fell into the hands Of two
dear little sisters. jamie was coIuing out

and plucked an apple from a tree. Upon
eating 1t she found TO her disgust aud
annoyance a worm at its core. As she
threw II away In anger, she declared that
the new city should be called Herman,
n worm. herman Is certainly a very
ancient city; the inhabitants claim that
1t was a large city in the time Of Solo
mon. But the first time that 1t is men
toned in history Is By HerodOtus. Alex
ander Is said to have marched his army
through Herman on his way to India.
Perhaps few places have suffered more
at the hands Of invaders than Herman
1t has been sacked at least six times,
and in 1874 the city was almost entirely
destroyed by Agha Mohammed Khan. The
city was bravely defended by the prince
governor, who was one of the last of the
Zend dynasty. He sustained a long and
severe siege. till two-thirds Of his troops
had perished from starvation, and then
the city was betrayed into the bands Of
the enemy and its brave defenders obliged
to fee, only to meet with a cruel death
some two years later from the hands Of
the same oppressor. This incarnation Of
cruelty. Agha Mohammed Khan, gave the
city over to the will Of his soldiers, who
resembled their leader in cruelty and bar
barity. There was no compassion In his
heart for the unfortunate Inhabitants,
nor would he withdraw his troops from
the city until he had received a gift Of
10000 pairs Of human eyes. When these
were brought to him, he insisted on count
ing them himself to see II the number
was correct.
The city never recovered from this ter
rible blow, and today Herman is a by
word among PersIans for its poverty and
extraordinary number Of beggars. If you
were to ride through the bazars you
would be struck by the number of beg
Zars all holding out their hands, be-
seeching you for the love Of God to give
them 4 copper.
There is a quaint saying among the
beggars of Persia, which one hears very
often. 1t is as follows: 'khuda guft,
"Beddeh;' Shaltan guft, "Neddeh,

morning. How could that button have
gotten into the apple basketr'
1T must be that a fairy has dropped
them to earth for u.s." declared one OF
the little girlss. Yes, that surely is the
case" said the other little girl. And
their father only laughed at them, say
ing: "It certainly is strange how each OF
you should fnd a button-and both ex-
actly alike! Strange things do happen
occasionally"
And so it came to pass that the two
buttons that were lost and found in
town that day had a very happy time.
They were put upon the little white fur
capes belonging to the two little girls,
and helped to hold the capes close about
the two little necks, for ribbon loops
were sewn on opposite to the buttons.
and were slipped over the buttons as
fasteners. And everywhere the little
maids went, the two pretty buttons
went also. And every one who saw them
declared they were the very beautiful
est" cape buttons they had ever seen
And when jamie went home again she
carried the one button still In her posses
sion along to put into the buttOn-hox with
the odd one that had been left there.
And in the box those two buttons remain
to this day though it has been five years
since Janie's mother bought them for the
little blue broadcloth jacket And Jane
is a great girl now, Is years old. anil in
high school. And whenever she sews
buttons upon any garment. she says:

And the two-cut-steel buttons in the

JAMIE did not hear it. Then, within a
few steps. OF went another button, fall
ing into a basket which stood in front
OF a grocery store. This basket con-
tained red-cheeked apples.
few steps behind jamie came the
two little sisters, and ones eyes fell
upon the button in the street. She picked
1t up. and turned about to show It to
any passersby. hoping to find its owner.
But no one claimed 1t. So the little girl
said 1t was hers by right of discovery.
III keep 1t till l hear OF its owner" she
said. Then down the street the two lit
tie maids went stopping at their fathers
grocery store to show the lovely button.
See, papa" cried the little girl who
held the button. Isn't It grand? II
looks like silver" Then she explained
that she had found 1t at the postofice
door, and had shown it to all who came
along at the time, but that no one had
claimed it. so, unless | ind an owner

But while the little girl was talking.

After she had disposed of the eggs she
hurried homeward as fast as she could
go, carrying the button with her, for SIC
was very proud Of the pretty thing. which
had been cast in her path. But on show
ing Ii to her mother that good lady said
I'VE must try to find the owner. Let me
see-who Of our neighbOrs wears buttons
like this beautiful one?' But she could
not recall ever having seen any OF the
women Of her neiGhborhood owning a coat
or jacket adorned with such brilliant but
tons. Wen put It away till we have
asked everywhere about it." she said.
Then. If no one claims ii, you may have
it for your charm-string."
But of every neIghbor did the good lady
nsk In vain about the beautiful button.
Not one had ever owned 1t. OF course,
old Grandmother Young was not asked re-
farmers wife that the dear, old fashioned
lady could think of wearing the glistening
button. She always wore a heavy shaw
which could not be buttoned. and the
news OF Janie's and her mothers visit in
the neighborhOod had not yet been herald
ed about, for they had surprised their
kinfolks by coming in unexpectedly.
So after a week, the little girl who had
found button number two was allowed to
have it to put upon her charm-string.
And there that great, shining steel but
ton was the queen among her sister but
tons Every little country maid who was
shown the charm-string cried out: "Oh,
how lovely" And then its little owner
would relate how she had found It in
