Arthur is in the eighth grade, and handled his subject well. George Washington from Birth to Major George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in the homestead on Bridges Creek, Va. This house commanded a view over many miles of the Potomac and the opposite shore of Maryland. It had probably been purchased with the property, and was one of the primitive farmhouses of Virginia. The roof was steep, and sloped down into low projecting eaves. It had four rooms on the ground floor and others in the attic, and an immense chimney at each end. Not a vestige of it remains. A stone marks the site of the house, and an inscription denotes its being the birthplace of Washington. George was the eldest of the family having three brothers and two sisters, Samuel, John, Charles, Elizabeth and Mildred who died in infancy. The Washingtonts were descendants of an old English family which could be traced back to the sixth century. Not long after the birth of Washington his father removed to an estate in Stafford county, opposite Fredericksburg. The house was similar in style to the one at BridgesCreek, and stood on a rising ground overlooking a meadow which bordered the Rappahannock. This was the home of George's boyhood; the meadow was his playground, and the scene of his early athletic sports; but this home, like the home in which he was born, has disappeared. When George was about seven or eight years old, his half brother Lawrence returned from England a well-educated and accomplished youth. There was a difference of fourteen Above all, his honesty and the principles of justice on which he regulated all his conduct, even at this early period of life, were soon appreciated by his schoolmates; he was referred to as an umpire in their disputes, and his decisions were never reversed. As he had formerly been military chieftian, he was now legislator of the school; thus displaying in boyhood a type of the future man. Washington had seen and heard a great deal about the navy. His brother and friends tried to get him to join the navy and to this he consented. He now got the consent of his mother. He obtained a midshipman's warrant, but when he went to go his mother would not let him. He now went back to school for two years. The merits of Washington were known and appreciated by his friends. Though not quite sixteen, he no longer seemed a boy, nor was treated as such. Tall, athletic and manly for his years, his early self training, and the code of conduct he had devised, gave a gravity and decision to his conduct. Lord Fairfax hired Washington to survey his lands. Washington started out in March, 1748, on horseback for this surveying expedition in company with George Fairfax. After enduring quite a number of hardships, as he was not used to this out door life, he finished the surveying. He having done such satisfactory work, that Lord Fairfax obtained for him the position of public surveyor... $30,000 DEAL Mrs. Berringer Sells Mine at Manvel And Will Invest Here Mrs. E.

Warren When George was about seven or eight years old, his half brother Lawrence returned from England a well-educated and accomplished youth. There was a difference of fourteen years in their ages, which may have been the reason why they were so strongly attached to one another. It was from Lawrence that George got his military spirit. He had seen his brother get ready for wars and had heard from him about wars. All of his amusements took a military turn. He made soldiers of his schoolmates; they had mimic parades, reviews and sham battles. George was always commander-in-chief. George's father died April 12, 1743, after a short illness. George was to have the house and lands where they were living after he became of age. He had received his education up to this time from his father. He was now sent to a school at Bridges Creek, kept by a Mr. Williams. His education, however, was plain and practical. He was a self-disciplinarian in physical as well as mental matters, and practiced himself in all kinds of athletic exercises, such as running, leaping, wrestling, pitching quoits, and tossing bars. His frame even in infancy had been large and powerful, and he excelled most of his playmates in contests of agility and strength. As a proof of his muscular power, a place is still pointed out at Fredericksburg, near the lower ferry, where when a boy, he flung a stone across the Rappahannock. In horsemanship too he already excelled, and was ready to back, able to manage, the most fiery steed. Traditional anecdotes remain of his achievements in this respect.

Center street, Anaheim, has just closed a deal with a rich Ohio syndicate, whereby she disposes of one quartz mining claim located in Manvel, Cal., which she has held for more than fifteen years, having acquired the property from D. Simons. The property is known as the Crystal ledge, having been located by Mr. Simons many years ago. The property was deeded to Mrs. Berringer by Mr. Simons for her care and kindness during the latter's last illness, while a resident of Los Angeles. She is to receive $30,000 cash and 15 per cent royalty during her natural life. She intends to invest her money in Anaheim realty. ROOSEVELT A FAVORITE The Chicago Tribune prints a straw vote of the Presidential preferences of republican editors in twenty-six central and western states, which gives the following result: For Taft 1093, for Roosevelt 1360, Lafollette 197, Hughes 122, Cummins 65, Pinchot 30, Doliver 14, Cannon 14, Bryan 40; scattering 116. These states have 276 delegates in the national convention. It shows that Theodore Roosevelt is the present choice of the republican editors for the presidency and that he and President Taft are the only two candidates who are strongly favored. Roosevelt has not only a majority of the votes, but his strength runs so uniformly that he is endorsed by two-thirds of the states. He is strongly in the lead in the Lake group, where he has 486 votes to Taft''s 427. He leads in the prairie states by 617 to 475, and on the Pacific coast by 164 to 90. In the only group where Taft leads the president's margin is narrow, it being 66 to 64 in the mountain states. The south is evenly divided—35 to 36.

Large crowds attend the games each Sunday afternoon, but the response to ticket-sellers is smaller than the expense account. Thus the club, after giving a good exhibition of ball, have to go down in their pockets to pay the bills. Many who are regular attendants at the games fail to purchase tickets which are offered for sale at 25 cents apiece. The one criticism of the games is that they are for the most part one-sided, but this is not to be charged against the ball players, who outclass their rivals. Yet on the authority of an old-time enthusiast, all games are good ones when the home team wins. The locals have earned the right to enter more speedy company, but if the present schedule is financially in bad, what would more expensive players say of a desire on the part of the big army of dead heads for more speedy ball? Friends of the local team indulge the hope that next Sunday's collections will be better, and that they will continue to be such, to the end that games may continue. The locals lead the league, and are entitled to better support. You fellows who never miss a game and never pay a cent, dig up and look pleasant. Let us hear no more of the players being put to the injustice of paying for the cost of the games, after putting up good ball to crowds whose appreciation is so slight that they cannot pay a quarter for witnessing the contest.

A ton of steel can be bought for $50, but a ton of steel to be made into watchsprings is worth $22,000. Yet, it's all steel, and originally came from the same kind of ore. What makes the difference in price? It is all in the preparation. This is also true of mankind.

McKee Thursday morning terrorized the passengers of the north-bound "Owl" on the Santa Fe from San Diego. He cleared the smoking car, and threatened the trainmen with death. McKee is a young giant. 6 feet 3 inches tall, well built, and he wears a great shock of red hair. When the train stopped at Santa Ana, frantic calls for police were sent in. McKee deserted the train he had conquered and tore off across country a mile and a half northeast. Throwing his arms about and raving, he entered the yard of John Dunstan. Dunstan soon had Deputy Sheriff Lacy by telephone. When Lacy arrived McKee was on his knees in the street praying. The muffs were placed on McKee. Lacy was part way to the jail when the man began to struggle. He kicked off the dashboard, and was literally kicking the buggy to pieces when help came, and he was bound down. McKee worked at Santa Ana for three weeks. He is a tramp line-man, and carries an electrician's card from a Norfolk, Va., union. A hobo arrested here was fined $20 by Justice Smithwick. The man carried two savings bank books. One was of the German-American Savings bank of Los Angeles, showing deposits there of over $1800. He gives the name of Max Skow. PLUMBING Plumbing Materials WATER PIPE All Plumbing Repairs We Contract to Furnish all the Materials and Do the Work, RACHEL WAS TOO LATE Will Have to Begin All Over In Divorce Proceedings Rachel S. Warren's divorce complaint was filed just a few hours too soon for her to get an interlocutory decree in the superior court last week and her suit will have to be begun all over again. Under the California statutes the plaintiff in a divorce action must have been in the state a year and in the county in which the suit is brought three months before the complaint is filed, if a decree is to be given on that complaint. On Feb. 2d, Rachael S. Warren's complaint with Robert E. Warren as defendant was filed in the county clerk's office by Attorney Dick Harding. The defendant defaulted. The case was heard by Judge West, and the examination developed that Mrs. Warren arrived in this county on Nov. 2. Harding said he was under the impression that the California law was the same as the Iowa law, that the plaintiff had to be in the county but ninety days. The California law, however, says three months. Had the complaint been filed a day later than it was, all would have been well. As it was filed on Feb. 2 Judge West denied the application for divorce, and a new suit must be begun if Mrs. Warren sues in this county. A ton of steel can be bought for $50, but a ton of steel to be made into watchsprings is worth $22,000. Yet, it's all steel, and originally came from the same kind of ore. What makes the difference in price? It is all in the preparation. This is also true of mankind. If you will look around in this town, you will find plenty of the $50-a-ton class of men—men who now are, always have been, and always will be, in the dollar-and-a-half-a-day class. You will also find the $22,000-a-ton men—men who are receiving 10 times more salary than the nine-dollar-a-week man. It is just as true of these people as it is of the steel. It is all in the preparation. If you are going to be the man who does the mental work of life—the high salaried man—you are going to learn how to do it either through long, tedious work or you are going to be trained for it by a man or an institution that is making such training a business. That is the business we are in, and as witnesses of our success, we can "point with pride" to hundreds of successful graduates. We are willing to let them be our judge.
