HARD CHRISTMASES
FOR WASHINGTON
O &
^ ^ y y y y y ^ y «?
No one has told us much
about George Washington’s
Christmases. But from the re
cord of his life we learn how
he spe;.i some of his Christmas
days.
It was a very cold Christ
mastide in 1777 at Valley
Foige. Snow was on the hills.
... ... ■ . . it.. ,
Everything was frozen. And
Washington’s army was in
great need of food, clothing
and shelter.
Instructions of parties of
men to go foraging for food
are entered in the orderly book
for that Christmas day at Val
ley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Still more desperate were
the food conditions at Morris
town'in 1779, when Washing
ton reported that his army was
on half allowance and near
starvation. “We have never
experienced a like extremity
at any period of the war,” de
clared Washington, pleading
that food be sent.
There was a welcome Christ
mas present for Washington
and his men at new Windsor
in 1780 when a big Christmas
wagon came with over 2,000
shirts and other comforts made
by Philadelphia women pa
triots—things needed by the
men under Washington, who
were cheerfully suffering all
sorts of hardships in order that
this country might be free
The Philadelphia women also
raised, that year over $800,
000 in aid of the soldiers.
r *-• ■» 53- -■!
I ne tine out tJoiomai man
sion the Craigie house in
Cambridge, Mass., (now wide
ly known as the home of Hen
ry W. Longfellow,) was the
place where Washington spent
his first Christmas as com
mander of the Revolutionary
army in 1775. Mrs. Washing
ton was there with him (as
she was later at Valley Forge)
and there was some pleasure
in the midst of the heavy care a
and responsibilities carried by
the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day
found Washington at the head
of his 2,400 brave men mak
ing his celebrated crossing of
the Delewnre river, nine miles
above Trent an. The snow and
sleet were blinding, it is re
corded, and the cold was in
tense. But hearts were brave.
Wherever he was at Christ
mas tide, Washington was
cheered with the thought that
the cause of the sruggling col
onies would surely win. A
few days before Christmas,
1776, he wrote to his older
brother, John Augustine Wash
ington: “Between, you and
me, our affairs are in a very
bad situation. . . . How
ever, under a full persuasion
of the justice of our cause, 1
cannot entertain an idea that
it will finally sink, though it
may remain for some time un
der a cloud.”
Washington must have had:
some very merry Christmases;
at Mount Vernon. ThereI
i '11 1 m ••"
were no children of his own
with whom Washington could
romp. Rut we can easily
imagine the big-hearted gener
al putting on a false beard of
fuzzy white whiskers and
slinging a pack over his back
for the delight of the little
ones in the neighborhood.
General Washington was truly
the “Father of His Country.”
and we have a very good idea
of the sort of holiday spirit in
which he observed the “glad
Christmastide” when our re
public was in its infancy.
No one in all our bright his
tory as a nation, has handed
down a more radiant Christ
mas message of hope and
faith.—Exchange.
SOME PREACHER
An Indian named Big Smoke,
who was employed as a mis- p
siouarv in Oklahoma, was ask- .
ed by a tourist what he did for /
a living.
'Tmph,” said Big Smoke,
"me preachun.”
“What do you get for
p» eaching?”
“Ten dollais a year.’’
“Well,’ commented the
white man, “that’s damned
poor pay.,’
“Umph ” replied Big Smoke,
“me damned poor preacher.”
TOYS MADE IN SWEEDEN
Toys are manufactured to a
considerable extent in Sweeden
and are almost entirely the fin
er kinds of painted wooden
toys. Their making was form
erly a house industry, but of
later years the great bulk of
th«* output comes from a few
factories.
