The Father Of His Country

Many persons who speak of George Washington
the Father of his Country fail to this title with
the fact that the great leader for American indcpend
ence had children of his own.
Running hastily the roll of those who have
given distinguished service to their fellow men, the I'M
preston is left that many of those whose names are
carried remembrance lovers of humanity have not
been able to transmit their virtues to descendants.
Some persons have considered this to be a proof
of the LIBERALIZATION of of genius tho the man
who is great in public service thereby dervcs himself
of the power of continuing his family line.
Possibly would be the truth to say that the
man to whom nature, fate, has denied children is
because of that denial given the larger opportunity to
make himself the father of the fathercs, tho he
may not always aspire to the high title of Father of
his Country gain enduring fame Lover Of Man
kind
George Washington at Mount Vernon, surrounded
by his sons, daughters and grandchildren might have
never become the president of the United States.
The men of Pueblo who have no sons to give them
title TO place at the banques in the churches this
week, have for that added obligation to help
the boy that has father and in general way
to help all boys in this land that progressively the
inheritance of all the boys.

Using this word as synonym of
tho verb ''to burn. IT is easy to dis
cover the literal derivation of tho
noun charcoal but, when We come
to "Char-woman" the connection is
not so apparent, for there is not even
an implied meaning that tho word Is
nothing more than n corruption of
"Chore-woman", but an examination
of char itself will show the error Of
this reasoning.
In It's original sense. Char had no
reference to burning. but was a verb
meaning ito turn. Charcoal is
therefore not burned wood but wood
which has been slowly turned over n
firo 80 that the substance has become
thoroly scorchod. while a 'charwoman'
is one who does her stint or turn OF
work. Tho word char" occurs In

tonic dialects, always with the mean
ing OF a turning about. an epoch or a
