G. WASHINGTONS BIRTH.
DAY EDDYTORIJJI

Jest as we was about to 90 TO
press with this ishue of the Bugle
& was turrible hard put to it for a
subjeok to dash off a eddytoriul
about we happend to take a look
at the new calender for 1918
which Anne Hillyer. our talented
loryer, legal lite & J. of the P.
presented us with to see whot the
next date of this ishue would be
and then it dawned on Us that to-
morrer (Febooary 22) is George
Washingtons birthday which fackt
would of excaPed us altogether il
we haddent Of happend to consult
the calender until later on & then
you wouldn't be reading this abel
eddytoriul about George as you
are doing at the present minnit.
For some yrs. we have wrote
every per annun a Zoology on G..
Washington about This time of VT.
and IT would of been a turrible cal
arnitty if we had not did so on this
ospishus occashion.
II makes us blush for shame
when we pause TO think that some
of the most respeckted citizens of
this town don't even know who
George Washington was & never
heerd of him. While we was writ
ing these lines Abner Doolittle
dropt into the Bugle offs to rest
and chat for a spell and Abner
nskt us what we was a writing and
we told him we was dashing off a
eddvtoriul on George Washington
who was one of the greatest men
who ever lived before ne was
horned or sinst he has died.
"And is he dead?" saws Abner a
good cal surprised. "Of course hes
deadw SAYS we in deep disgust at
Abners ignorunts. Gosh" saws
Abner, scratchin his head, "and
never even knowd George was on
the sick list"

I seen him onct when he was
alive"
Being as G. Washington has
been dead over 100 yrs. and Ham
amt but IS yrs. old hisself we was
good cal surprised at this state
ment so we askt Ham where he
had saw Washington when ne seen
him.
Right here In Bingviile is where
seen him." says Ham. "It was at
Town Hall two yrs. ago last spring
when that travelin troop played
Uncle Toms Cabin-George Wash
ington was the Teller who crost the
Delaware River on the ice with
the bloodhounds chasin him"
We was so disguised that we
ordered Alb and Ham both outen
the offs and told EN- they'd better
go home and read UP their mach
eral histories and find out who G..
Washington was before they went
and made fools outen theirselfs.
c.. Washington was the Father Of
His Country at a time when his
country didn't have no father and
needed one turrible bad. This was
in 17T5 when George was unani-
mously eleckted general of the
Revolooshionary War and helpt to
give the British a doggone good
licllin. George would ruther fife
that etc when he was hungry and
he diddent take no back talk from
ennvbuddy.
After the war was over the pee
pul wanted George to be King of
the United States but he refused to
take the Job probably becus at that
time the country was poor and like
as not SIGH posisllion didn't pay
him u1oren SIS per month and
( found. George said. however, that
if he was eleckted he would ackt
as president Of the u. s., and so
he was and performed the duties Of
this important offs to the best of
his several ability
One pecooliar thing about c.
Washington was that he couldn't
tell a lie. We don't know WHY this
was, but it was true-whenever
/ George would try to tell a lie he
/ ,,-o,,fd CHOKE and sfarr1rr,e- and him
and haw and gasp & finally wind III
by telling the truth, the hole truth
and nuthin but the truth. IF ennv-
buddy in Bingville couldn't tell A
lie like George Washington couldn't
It would be a turrible afflickshior
for EN- TO bear. Most ennybuddy
in our midst can misrepresent the
truth when the occasion demand:

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE
SHOCKS RECORDED

Evidences of an earthquake. which,
If on land, probably was most de-
struCtive. were registered on the seis-
mographs of the Naval Observatory and
Georgetown University and in the lab

mated. were from 5000 to $500 miles
from Washington. and from 5000 to
1000 miles from Cleveland. There Is
no method by which the exact loca-
ton of the tremors can be obtained.
The report from the Naval Obscrva-
tory states that n distinct shock vas
registered from 12:12 a. m. until after
a. m. today. This record agrees with
that obtained on tho Georgetown in
struments In point of duration The
university seismographs show that the
shock was the heaviest at l. As a. m.
Officials of both the observatory and
the university agree that the tremor
probably was very destructive.
The Cleveland report saws that two
sharp shocks were registered. The first
shock was at liz o'clock and the sec
ond at %.
Father Odenbach said the shocks
were the most violent recorded for sew
