THE IMMORTAL GEORGE

IF you had lived long ago and had been introduced
to George Washington, you would have shaken
the hands OF physical giant.
Washington stood feet 2, athletic build, pow
erful chest Reddish brown hair. Blue eyes. Large
hands.
In history this is important. For without his
strong and healthy body, Washington could not
have stood the hardships he went through as
commander-in- chief of the armies that won America
its independence.
Born OF planter parents considered wealthy in
those days, and nheriting landed estate, Washing
ton was no dler. He fought his way into history
by hard work He was only 10 years old when he
headed westward into the wilderness a surveyor,
He served as surveyor for three years. The pay
small. But George was economical saving
enough from his wages to buy large tracts OF land
before he OF age.
AT maturity, his reputation established as
a thrifty reliable, hard worker, intensely democratic,
OF SIMPLE tastes, a square deal" The vre pio-
neers accepted him naturally their logical leader.
A leading character OF critical times, Washington
was serious us-minded from youth He knew the bitter
hardshps OF winter in the unexplored wilderness,
Indian fighting, and the starvation and cold OF
Valley Forge.
Washington never admitted that defeat pos
sibe. In the darkest days OF the Revolution, it was
largely his inspiring courage that kept hope alive in
his famished soldiers
February p is the Tooth anniversary of his birth.
Ii is good to know that the father of country
was regular fellow--virle likeable an ideal Amer
can In his life, many lessons for the young. Also,
much inspiration for those emerged from youth.

There Alexander, once
Who was always doing stunts
Which the pessimists declared he couldn't do;
But he waved them all aside
And he wouldn't be denied
And he dreamed a lot of dreams and made EN- true:
In his brain ambition swirled
And he said Il want the world
/ would rule the map and all the towns that dot tl'
Well, he wanted it enough
And he had the proper stuff.
So he got it!
Girls Columbus has a scheme
Which they called a silly dream
For he thought that ne could prove the world was
round
And although the wise laughed
Chris embarked upon his craft
And he sailed across the ocean, westward bound:
Others may have had the hunch
But they lacked the vim and punch
Which taught Chris 10 grab his chance while he
could spot it,
For he wanted it enough
And he had the proper stuff.
So he got it,
That's the secret that's the dope
For the who tries 10 cope
With the busy world about him. He gain
Almost anything he wants
If the Wilto-GetIt haunts
Every fibre of his body and his brain;

And you simply never tire
OF the grinding and the toll you beset H.
II you want it bad enough,
And you have the proper stuff
You get 1t!

 Sullivan felt in his pockets. There WAS the fifty-cent piece someone had RIVpu IIlll nCliiftAA, IL iuh otCh' tlt had pitched her pathetic story about tramping to the bedside of dying child. Sullivan was an adept in his line. Sullivan grinned. He got up, smoothed down his rags and staggered to the likeliest looking blind tiger
 He went in at the back door and ac- costed the proprietor. Say, gimme glass of the real stuff." he demanded.
 "Sure answered the proprietor, and in few moments Sullivan was lifting a glass of whisky to his lips He drained 1t. and 1t stung like living fire.
