If George Wasn’t Dead He Would Be After Reading This.

With trueful thought so true General Washington marched with his brave crew On the enemy’s flashing ranks; He would fool them with his many pranks, For when the enemy maffe its charge They discovered that Washington and men were at large. For these, as may seem a mystery, We read it in our books of history; With true patriotic blood in our veins We are glad that George Washington held the reins. —Elmer E. Taylor in Logansport Journal-Tribune.
