 Birthday Party

 But getting back to Gawge Washington. rite man in the rite plase He was man of grate furmness- -furmness was one of Mr. Washington s cheef characturisticks He was furm in deeling with the English tyrent, who by the way, was also named Gawge-so theere s nuthing in name He was also furm in deeling with the colloniel Congress, and the standing army. When evver the standing army got fresh with Gawge he would swear at 1t in low Epis- copal tone of voise and ordur it to swim the Delaware while the thermometer was thurty -sevven degrees below Pittsburg, and get up perspirasion by chasing the Hes sien troops thro' forty-nine townships in a peeved and hurried mannur Sum times Gawge had fore or five hundred men in his standing army, and at uther times it was so dessimated by the desursion of ambisious persuns who wanted to run for Congress that theere would be no one left but him self and Gennerel LaFayitt and Bennedick Arnuld Still he newer gave up. That was Gawge's long suit, and that is what it was about him that makes him ssfurst in the harts of his countrymen." Gawge would hang on all the wintur annoying the ennemy ovver the long distansed tellefone and in the spring about planting time he would swoop down on them, and take them little red pants and wallop them till the cows cum home.
 Gawge kept this up with unabated deter ninasion till Englind succllmbed Englind cum to the conclusion that if we weer so dam stuck on freedum that we mite as we'll have 1t. Theereupon Gawge grabbed off the demmycratick nomminasion for Pres sidint and began to rule the country. He held the job two turns, and then rote a sturring address to Congress to be used in McDuffey's thurd reedur and for Fourth of July selebrasions, aftur which he re- tired to Mt. Vernun to live quiet and se- cluded life of medditasion as an exampul to future ex-pressidints, which nun of them have followed. Gawge's tleer-cut lectures have been handed down to us on postage stamps, tyn-types and fractsional currensy, and his memmery will lingur with us as undying as the hevens. Menny moddern polytisians have tried in feebul sort of way to immitate Gawge, but without mark ed success. Gawge's abrupt and nnvarn- ished style of verrassity when mixed with modden polyticks seems to fail to produse results-so it has been almost entirely abandunded. Thus we seem to drift furth- CT and further away frum our ansient moor ings.
 Outside of that enjoyed the party.

Knox county some SIX months
ago voted bond issue of $3.50,

the roads for the reason that no
satisfactory contract has been

Roads refusing his approval until
the requirements of the State aid
law are met. The issue has thus
been fairly joined and the taxpay-

1t was almost inevitable that i n

by the present law, such an issue
should arise. 1t is we'll for Knox

This is moral triumph which
in the circumstances surpasses in

THE road situation in Rockcas

this: The bonds have been sold

When this case was called for

City Officials Threaten Suit Be-
cause of Litter on Lot
Where Tabernacle
Stood
SITE RESEMBLES DUMP

A legacy of litter and debris bequeathed
the BILLY" Sunday Campaign Committee
and so far unclaimed by that committee
may result in another job for the courts
I'm addition to that of Colonel Charles NJ
Keegan, OF 1914 Spring Garden street
One Of the colonel's many complaints
was that the baseball evangelist and his
campaign committee neglected to carry
off four or five carloads OF rubbish from
his house, while in the new case now
threatening the committee Is being bonn
barded for just the same reason regard
ing the lot on which the tabernacle was
built.
Some time, when legal obstacles are re-
moved, the city of Philadelphia expects to
build a magnificent library on the site oc-
cupied by the Sunday temple. But before
this may be done about $500 must be spent
to remove the material obstacles In the
way Of sawdust. dirt, hat pins, pennies,
broken chairs and various other kinds of
rubbish that is of no use to any one, and
so has been permitted to remain on the
site
Joseph NJ. Steele, chairman oB the cam
paign committee. believes the rubbish was
put on the lot by workmen employed by
one of the McNichol contracting COM
panies engaged on Parkway improve
ments. He will hold conference with
Henry K. Edmunds, president OF the
library board, within a few days.
This determination was arrived at by
Mr. Steele after he had received a COM
munication from another official of the
library board, deputized by Mr.. Edmunds.
The letter set forth in narrowing detail,
II is understood, the unsightly condition
of the lot, and asked that the Sunday
Campaign Committee Immediately take
steps to remove the debris.
As In the Keegan case, however, Mr..
Steele declined responsibility for the COM
mittee. He will attempt to prove this to
the satisfaction of Mr.. Edmunds and
other members of the library board. Mr..
Edmunds is authority for the statement
that unless the rubbish is removed by
the committee legal action will be
started.
