hundred years the emblem of sport.
The pastime of hawking was engaged
in only by the wealthy and the Wash

hunting and sporting. Benson J..

the English Washingtons:

This grant of the raven was in 1900,
at about the same time that hawking
was at its height as sport, for at
about the same period we find that

ed to prove that his father was OF

of Virginia, of which our first presi-

There are five distinct Washington
shields, but in the heraldic records
they are pronounced Of the same
origin, as follows:
A silver (argent) shield upon which
are two red (gules) bars; in the top

the unhappy lot of the royalists, or
Kings Cavaliers; and rather than
bow to one whom they looked upon as
usurper, many of the Washingtons
fed to foreign lands. John and Law
renee, brothers, came to Virginia, the
former being the grandfather of
George Washington, the first presi-
dent of the United States.
Among the distinguished Washing
tons who escaped persecution by fight
from England was one whose Identity
genealogists long sought vafnly to
verify-the brother of General George
Washington's great grandfather. This
Washington's name was James, and
he fed to Rotterdam, Holland, where
In 1850 he welded Clara Wander Lam

From this union was derived the pres

the Dutch government. This gentle
man was Baron de Washington. The
statement has been certified by Will

and attested by the Honorable Fred

What the Copy BOY Wrote.

Representative Dan Anthony, of
Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth
Times, once had an Office boy who
yearned to know how to use a type
writer-which accomplishment, the.
boy figured, would make him regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald, and babe him learn to,
run it,
'What'll writer" the boy asked.
"Oh, just take some sentence, any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him,
and see how long it will take you to-
fill page with it"
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice.
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom of the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: who the invent
ed school?'

These constituted the heraldic arms
of all Washington people as recorded
in the English College of Heralds.
