For His Composition Upon the Father
of His Country.

Robbv has just reached English compo-
sition in his school, and his father is a
NEWSPAPER man, who prides himself on his
concise style. Bobby came home from
school the other day in high glee because
his teacher had praised his composition
on George Washington. He showed the
production to his father with pride, but
was somewhat crestfalen at his parents
criticism:
TOO many words, my son. Too many
words altogether Why can't your teach
ers instruct you how to express your
ideas tersely? Now. just sit down at that
table, take this pencil, cut out every word
YOU can spare without leaving out a single
idea, and if your mother does not agree
with me that the result is better than this
composition which your teacher praises,
I'll give you half a dollar"
The lad took the pencil and fell to work
while his father read the paper. After a
long time Bobby brought the heavily
scored manuscript to him, saying:
1T was hard work to keep in something
on every one of the things Washington is
famous for, dad. but 1 guess I did it.
This is how the result read:
George Washington became the father
of his country because he had no little
boy of his own to whip for cutting down
cherry trees, and he is remarkable among
American statesmen because he would
not tell lie
Mamma awarded the half-dollar to
Bobby.-New York Tribune.
