HISTORY 8TORY BY THE SIXTH
GllADE.
GEORGE WASHINGTON,.:
George Washington was born in
Vwglnia, Feb. 22.1732. He was sent
to school called the old-field school.
The school houses in those days were
built in fields too much worn out to
raise anything. The man thyt George
went to was Hobby. George had a
brother named Lawrence, and he was
to have the land in Virginia, so was
sent to England for his education.
While George was going to school, he
and the boys would play that they were
in- battle, and George was captain.
George could run very swift and was a
powerful wrestler. It was said that
he could throw farther than anybody
else. Most of the people in those days
went everywhere on horse-back, and
George was not afraid to get on the
wildest horse or iin unbroken colt. His
mother had a colt that was not broken
and George wanted to get onto it, so
his mother let him and the second time
the colt reared up in the air, a blood
vessel broke and the horse died, but
ffcorgo was not afraid to tell his
mother. His schoolmates used to bring
their quarrels to him for him to settle.
Wheu he was eleven years of ago his
father died, and then his mother took
great pain.s to bring him up with man
ly ideas. He afterwards was sent to
school-to Mr. Williams. From him he
learned to read, write and do arithme
tic. George took great pains with
vrhafc he did. il is cu py-book was kept
clean and they show that his handwrit
ing was very lieat. Lawrence wanted
Oeorge to be a seaman, but his mother
was unwilling to part with him, so he
went to school. When George was just
sixteen years of agp, he accepted the
offer of Lord Halifax, and" set out at
surveying. He crossed mountains and
rode his horse through swollen
streams-.. The settlers' beds were oaly
musses of straw, with a ragged blanket
over it, but George slept most of the
time out under the sky by a camp-fire,
with hay. straw, or fodder lor a bed.
blometimes men, women, and cnildren
slept around these Ilres, like cats and
dogs, and George wrote, "and happy is
he who gets nearest the fire." Once
the straw on which George was asleep,
blazed up, and he might have been con
sutned if one of the men had not
waked him in timp. George was a
good surveyor, for he received large
pay for his work. In the Revolution
ary War Washington's soldiers had to
suffer. They were obliged to march
Barefoot, leaving bloody tracks on the
frozen ground. Sometimes a soldier
had to sit by the lire all night fer want
ota blanket to cover himself. Wash
ington. was elected president in the
vgar of 1789, and then again in 1TO2.
He refused to be elected the third time,
and after publishing a farewelfcto the
country, he left the presidency in 1797.
He died at Mt. Vernon in 1799.

our people vie with each other in their
efforts to make their homes attractive,
by planting beautiful groves to be af
terwards nutured and encouraged to
healthy growth. We may thus not
only relieve the monotony of our broad
spreading fertile plains, and largely in
crease their value, but we acquaint
ourselves and our children with that
phrase of the beautiful in nature which
nothing but trees can teach. With
beautiful homes will come content
ment, and with contentment good citi
zenship. Let the teachers and scholars
throughout the state make this day
memorable by planting trees and
shrubs upon the school grounds, which
shall live after them to be a source of
pleasure and pride to future genera
tions. In testimoay whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused the

made up his mind to try the south for
farming and loaded his goods into a
wagon and started south. He traversed
three oi four southern states and found
nothing that would compare with
South Dakota. Charlie Hedden receiv

says in a few exclamatory sentences:
"My boy, if you are still in South Da

over several states and can't find any

The Delineator for May is called the
commencement number, and is the
third of the three great issues of the
season. The article on gowns for com
mencement day is most attractively
illustrated, and is planned to give
ample time for preparing the attire for
this important occasion. Another
timely article is Mrs. Roger A. Pryor
on weddings and wedding ceremonies,
given with fac-simile invitations to
some very distinguished social events.
A- very interesting paper on Oberlin
college is from the pen of Edity Dick
son, and Mae Harris Anson writes
cleverly of government clerkships as
an employment for women. The pa
pers on the experiences of a training
school life, edited by Mrs. Frederic
llhinelander Jones, are continued,
while the very helplul series on how to
be well is brought to a conclusion. A
notable article in this number is a May
day festival, arranged for school and
other entertainments by Mrs. Lilla
Viles-Wyman, and there is also a
studio party that offers occasion for
pleasant diversion. Of practical and
profitable occupations there are the pa
person Kindergarten work. Venetian
iron work, burnt work and crepe and
tissue papers, each of which is contri
buted by an expert. There is a very
suggestive and valuable illustrated ar
ticle on the laying and decoration of
the dLning-table, another on seasonable
cookery, with a review of the markets,
and most pleasant gossip in around the
tea-table. Mrs. Georgen's article on
the cultivation of the voice will be ap
preciated by all who are interested in
the snbject, and the chapters on mother
and son draw to a pleasant ending.
The fancy work departments are well
filled with novelties, new designs being
shown in knitting, crocheting, tatting,
netting, etc. The Delineator is th^
woman's favorite magazine, and is is
sued by the famous fashion publishers,
the Butterick Co. (limited), at 7 to 17
West Thirteenth Street, New York, at
the remarkably low rate of 81 for a
year's subscription, or 15 cents per
copy.

Sketch W. H. Harvey* Author of
"Cot«V Financial School."
As one ot the most talked of men at
the present time is the author above
named, we publish his biography as re
cently given in the Chicago Inter
Ocean. gtf
"William Hope Harvey, iuthor of
"The Elementary Principles of Money,"
"Coin's Financial School," and "A Tale
of Two Nations," eminently successful
contributions to current financial liter
ature, is comparatively a young man.
He was born August 16,1851- in Buffa
lo, Putnam County, West Virginia.
His early education was acquired in
the common or district schools of his
neighborhood, and at the age of 16 be
was a school-teacher himself. Read
ing law in an office in his native town
he passed a creditable examination at
the age of 19 years, and was admitted
to practice. Success followed his ef
forts as a lawyer, and he became noted
at the bar of Cabell County, West Vir
ginia, and in the circuit embracing
this, Putnam, and other counties in the
Kanawa Valley.
In 1875 he left his West Virginia
home and settled in Cleveland, Ohio
where he practiced his profession suc
cessfully for two years. In 1877 he
located in Chicago and practiced law,
having an office in the Porland Block.
In 1879 he went to Gallipolis, Ohio,
where lie became counsel for several
wholesale firms, and as well a partner
in the dry gooous firm of John 1'.
Halliday So Co. There he married
Miss Anna Halliday, by whom he has
had four children. In 1884 he aban
doned the practice of law and emigrat
ed from Ohio to Colorado, settling in
Denver, where investments became his
special line of business. In 1890 busi
ness called him to Ogden, Utah, and
there he took up his residence until
May, 1893, when he returned to Chi
cago. Since re-establishing himself in
this city Mr. Harvey has been engaged
in authorship, tfie publication of finan
cial literature. His success has been
pronounced. His works haye com
manded widespread attention and have
attained to a wonderful degree of pop
ularity."
Silver is the Issue.
President Andrews of Brown uni
versity. representing the United States
in the last international monetary con
ference, and who is recognized as one
ot the best informed students of the
silver question in the country, comes
out strongly in favor of silver coinage
and the remonetization of the white
metal. Although favoring internation
al action be says this country should
not wait too long for England and
other European powers to act. In re
sponse to the question as to the prob
able effect of immediate action by this
country, he says:
"The immediate result would be a
tremendous revival of business and
restoration of depressed values. Mon
ey hoarded in banks would be turned
loose. We would wrestle from Europe
most of the trade from silver countries,
Asia, Japan, India, Mexico, South
America would be our customers. Our
factories would be worked to full ca
pacity. All our geld would pass to
Europe, but we would not need it, so
could afford to lose it. And if our ex
ample were followed by Europe we
would never have any backset. But
there is danger of it not being followed
and what the ultimate consequence
might be 1 would not care to answer
for. We could float an enormous quan
tity of silver, but not necessarily all
we would find on our hands under
such circumstances. 1 hear Western
papers talking of the "Crime of 1873,"
1 do not think that any of the members
of congress were criminal in their
action. 1 do think they made a ter
rible mistake and we have suffered
from it ever since. 1 do not discredit
the efforts of western people to get this
question settled. We should not be
driven from the consideration of the
matter by statements to the effect that
this agitation is all on the part of silver
mine and bullion owners or speculat
ors. They would profit by the change
but little, as compared with the mass
of the people. This agitation has been
under way sinco 1873 and must be
settled sooner or later and by ignoring
it we will only increase the risk of hav
ing it to settle to our disadvantage.
"I do not care to venture a guess as
to how long we will have to wait on
England. 1 see favorable signs, how
ever, in the fact that five of her lead
ing statesmen are friendly to the white
metal and it may not be long before
there can be be sensible international
action on the subject.

Red field Journal: Next to the Tayl
or thievery a leading topic for conver
sation in Redfield the past week has
been the re-conversion of Oryille S.
Basford and his return to the ministry.
On Sunday evening last his reappear
ance in the pulpit of the M. E. church
was too strong an attraction for the
curious, the conscientious and the
crowd to resist—the church was packed.
Some of our business men were seen
speaking kind words to him after the
service. Surely there is much in his
history in the past few years, which is
fit anly to cause profound regret, su
preme disgust and christian charity.
Laying aside our personal misgivings
of a business character, we are disposed
to be second to none in broad charity.
After all, the brightest acts of charity
are toward the uncharitable. For the
sake of that recognized accumulation
of character in the human race for
which we all labor, it is devoutly to be
hoped that his reformation is genuine.
Basford'a action is a wonder and the
proof of its genuineness must rest with
him by his daily walks in future, It
leads to some reflections: To bring
forth a character fit for the ministry is
not the work of a day. Repentance is
not the work of a Sabbath, but of a life
time. To build character in others one
must first build It in himself. The
great philosopher, Fichte, has said that
every human being owes to every
other human being good will. Friend
and enemy can only wish Basford the
heat success in. all true efforts at well
dhing.
Honth Dakota's Centenarian.
Dead wood Times, 10th: Yesterday,
morning 'Which ushered in the 100th
birthday of Mrs. Charity Eliot at the
home of lifer daughter Mrs. G. C. Moody,
dawned bright and beautiful^^The
xiear
old lady had been looking forward
with great pleasure to this a&hiversary.
Gifts of all kinds bad been coming for
several days, including boo!ks, dainty
china, wines, a beautifully, decorated
birthday cake and lovely flowers in
profusion, to join in making it a happy
one. Many letters and telegrams ot
congratulations came from children,
grand and great grand children, and
friends from New York to California
and Florida, seemingly vieing with
each other to do her the most honor.
She seemed brighter than for riiany
days, and remarked that "it was worth
living a hundred years if only to enjoy
•so many kindcesses." She enjoyed
calla through the day and a dainty tea
was served in her room, as she has been
unable to leave it for two years.
Mrs. Eliot is a remarkable woman.
While she looks very frail and the form
hardly able to hold the spirit, her mind
is very clear and her memory wonder
ful, and her logic at times would sur
prise one of half her years. Iler ex
pressions of thankfulness for kindness
es and her patient waiting is beauiful
to see. She says, "I am only waiting
for the Father's bidding, and He will
call me when He is ready,"
Fifty-four years,ago at Easter time,
a heavy shadow darkened her life,
which has never been lifted, but the
tenderness and devotion of her child
ren has enabled, her to outliye five of
them, who with the father, await her
coming in the "beautiful land."
Five sons and two daughters are
left. She has one sister left of seven,
Mrs. Ferris Hubbell ofSyracuse. N. Y.,
aged 96. It is seldom that we can
make a record of six living genera
tions. Mrs. Eliot is the oldest, and a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Miner
of Mitchell, South Dakota, is the
youngest representative of six genera
tions of this family now living,

The Tribune Tells the Truth.
Newspaper men are generally regard
ed as being somewhat irresponsible
financially, and perhaps with good rea
son, for. generally speaking, the news
paper business is not very lucrative, al
though in many cases it is made a suc
cess and fairly profitable. Too many
papers, making the competition too
close, and too much work without pro
fit, may afford some explanation of
some being "slow pay," but the reason
newspaper men as a class are looked
upon as unreliable and irresponsible is
because so many disreputable charact
ers have got into the business and
have no higher idea of business and
honesty than to deadbeat their way.
it is a common fallacy to judge
church society by the poorest sticks
belonging to it, and so it is that the
newspaper profession is judged by the
deadbeats and bums in it. There arc
many newspaper men who run their
business on business principles, pay
their debts and lead an honest life but
there is a class that work into the
business without capital, credit or
ability, and they beg for business, run
in debt and deadbeat their way. Not
only do their methods injure honest
newspaper men in a busine&s way, be
cause people are forced to patronize the
deadbeats to get even with them, but
they cause the people to look down up
on the whole profession with suspicion
and a lack ot respect and confidence. If
people would denounce newspaper
deadbeats as they do other deadbeats,
and withdraw credit and patronage,
there would be fewer of that class in
the profession and honest newspaper
men would get the reward which they
deserve. No matter what business a
man may engage in he can and should
be honest, and the honest man should
not be made to suffer for the dishonest
and deadbeat methods of others.—Dell

'Middleaworth In Trouble Again.
Yankton Press 13th: Harry Mid
dlesworth, who was under arrest for
one night, upon a charge of highway
robbery, but who was discharged from
custody by Sheriff Stout ol Turner
county has made himself obnoxious
ever since that episode by endeavoring
to extort money from City Marshal
Grant, whom he accused by having ar
rested him without cause. Middles
worth continued this behavior all day
yesterday and applied the vilest sort of
epithets to the city fnarshal. Last
night Mr. Grant became tired of the
performance and arrested Middies
worth on a charge of disturbing the
peace. Middles worth refused to enter
the cell at the city jail and just then
Mr. Grant lost his temper and grasping
Middlesworth by the slack of his trous
ers, he fired him into the cell with con
siderable emphasis. This morning
Middlesworth was before Judge Mat
thews, who gave him until 2 o'clock
today to leave town. It he fails to
comply with that order he will devote
some time to work upon the streets.
San Francisco, Cala., is now excited
over a series of murders which are
hardly equalled in the annals of crime
in this country. A medical student
named Durant is under arrest for the
murder of two young ladies, and is
suspicioned for others. Two of his
victims were found in a church.
