which occured the 14th of Dec.
1799.
All the people loved Washington
for he made their nation free,
powerful and strong. By his
death the nation never lost a
. nobler man. His name will be
known in Histories for ages,
Written by Ora Sawyer.
George Washington was born
Feburary 22nd, 1732 in Virginia.
He was a descendant of the Ca-
valier famalies who came from
England. He received a very
fur education while giowing up.
After receiving his education,
he became a surveyor. The suf-
fering and endurance made him
. brave, strong and courageous.
During the French and Indian
wars, he displayed great skill
and ability as a soldier. His dar-
ing generalship and bravery as
comnander-in-chief of the army
during the Revolution, gained
for him the name of the “soul o
the Revolution.”
He was a member of Congress
from Virginia for a while. He
was president of the convention
in 1787 and by his influence the
constitution was adopted. It was
by his support that the confeder
ation was maintained. He serv
edtwo terms as the first presi
dent of the United States and
was asked to become candidate
I for a third term.
December 14th, 1799 one of
" the world's greatest patriots,
gentleman an I statesmen died.
It was said of hin by Congress
that he was “first in peace, first
in war, and first in the hearts of
his fellow citizens.”

contest, the only requirement o
a contestant being that he give a
little additional time and attetion
to the cultivation of his crop ac
cording to directions, and at the
end of the season he may not only
receive a goodly sum as a prize,
but he will also have his crop—
perhaps the finest his land has
ever produced. The sole motive of
the Congress in offering these
prizes is to aid in developing the
agricultural possibilities of the
State and making Texas what it
ought to be, “the garden spot of
the world.”

the management has arranged to put
on a “Push Ball Game." Two exper-
ienced teams have been secured, and
the game promises to be exciting and
Interesting. Push Ball, or as it might
be termed foot-ball on horse back. Is
the newest and most exciting game th
the sporting world today. In many
respects it is similar to the old time
tournies, which were so popular in the
time of King George I., but, in the more
modern field of sports, it is different
from any other game. It is played by
eight men, four on a side, mounted on
active and well trained polo-ponies, the
object being to push a gigantic ball
through a goal at either end of the
field. The rules of the game are very
similar to those of foot ball with this
exception; the ball must not be lifted
from the ground, but must be pushed
through the goal Instead of carried.
The victory of either team depends
almost entirely upon the activity of
the ponies, and when the “grand rush”
is made the animals, if they are well
trained, stay close together and try to
push the ball through the opponents’
line of defense. Then the pony near-
est the ball starts on a run, shoving
the ball before him, while his three
partners, acting as guards, put up a
strong interference, keeping the op-
posing team as far away from the ball
as possible. The ball used Is a mam-
moth Rugby foot ball, about six feet
in diameter.
This game was introduced Into this
country by one of the leading riss
circuses, and it has never failed to
make a big hit wherever it was put on.
Well-bred ponies, after they have been
thoroughly trained to it, go into the
game with eagerness, displaying 2.

The fact that auto delivery wagons, they manipulate the ball and outwit’
var.e "and trucks are becoming more their adversaries.
