John Washington
who settled in Virginia about 1857.

who settled in Virginia about 1857.
He had only moderate education, somewhat
defective, except in mathematics, and it is on
record that he was mostly self-taught. At the
age of nineteen he was appointed adjutant of
the Virginia troops, with the rank of Major.
In 1883, when barely 21 years old, he was
made Commander Of the northerly district of
Virginia at the outbreak of the French and
Indian Wars
He served with fiery energy that lay hidden
beneath his calm and unrufned exterior
In 1774 he appointed one of seven dele
gates from Virginia to the Continental Congress-
After the Lexington and Concord battles he
was elected commander-in chief Of the United
Colonies.
On July End he took command of the forces
assembled against the British garrison at Boston,
Massachusetts,.
1t Is not easy to realize the poverty Of the
American Colonies, the lack of food for the
troops the scarcity of money to pay the soldiers
for their families, the treachery, stupidity and
selhshness and encouragement of those carly
days and the sufferngs in the cold winters and
the bleeding footsteps at Valley Forge.
But all these completed the training Of The
soldiers of the Revolution and made them great
men, and in the best sense made George Wash
ington foremost of them ALL
Suffice it to say here that after the Declara-
ton of Independence he was elected the FIRST
President of the United States on January 7.
1889, inaugurated in New York. April 80 1889,
and at Philadelphia on March 4, 1898, and after
two terms OF office of four years each retired
March 4, 1897, going to Mount Vernon. his
plantation. where he lived as farmer and died
on December II, 1899, after one days illness.
The memory of Washington and his heroic
labors to establish and perpetuate The IIn;tad
States and its Stars and Stripes grows dearer to
the world as the years roll on

copied from Drecoll, of the finest mar

that has newly found favor-"cocoa"

Pockets and collar are trimmed
with the same material in old Egyp-
tian red. The lines are decidedly
those Of a wrap rather than coat,
the back is straight hanging and
full, gathered to shallow yoke;
