doors, but a small hole in cne end for
window and larger one for door.
Over theee were nailed bear skins to
keep out the cold. There were large
cracks between the logs where sun,
rain, snow aud wind came in. This
is the cabin where Abraham Lincoln,
our hero, WAS born February 10,
1909. He was five years old when
he started to go to school, which was

George Washington was born in
tue state of Virginia in the year 1882
on the 22nd of February, The house
hs Was born in was Z log cabin with
. low roof sloped on each eide and
the caves came ont over the sides.
After they moved over to the Rapah.
annock river they built the same
kind Of house; and after they moved
over to the Rapshannock river
Georges father died when George
Was II years old. His mother owned
. pony which she thought q lot Of
and she let it run in the pasture, and
George being a bold, strong boy
thought he would ride it. So one day
when the boys came home from
school, George said: "If you will
hold the pony 1 will ride;;" and SO
they did. George mounted and the
pony kicked and tried to throw his
rider, but be clung on as il lie was
stuck there with glue, and the pony
gave one Jump and fell down dead.
They were all frightened and went
TO the house, Georges mother said !:
"How is my pony think so much
oi?" They all hung their heads and
George told the story Of the pony's
death, and through all the mothers .
weeping over the loss Of her pony,
she said she would rather lose q
number Of such ponies than to have
her son tell lie.
Here are some Of the rules that
George took a. q guide for his youth !:
Jog not the table or desk on which
others are writing.
Lean not on every one.
When you speak Of God let it be
with gravity.
Make friends with those who are
Of good character.
Think before you speak.
George Washington was tall,
slim man, dark oomplexionod and his
face was pretty we'll marked by the
smallpox. He was the first president
Of the United States.
The Holly chieftain., 1904-02-26
John Hamp.-Si1th grade.

George Washington was born Feb.
%, 1882. He was commander. in.
chief Of the Colony army during the
Revolutionary war and also served in
the French and Indan war. In the
battle in which Braddock was killed
Washington had two horses sho.
from under him, and sometime after
this fight an Indian chief came long
ways to see the man he had shot Ut
fifteen times and had not hit him.
Washington forced the British to
evacuste Boston in 1875. He crossed
the Delaware river one Christmas 6
night and defeated an army of Hes.
slams and took two thousand prison
ers. Rail-, the Hessian commander,
had been invited by Hunt, trader
with friends and foes, to spend the
night. Just awhile before dawn q
messenger came in haste to give
warning Of the approach Of the
Americans. But Rail- had been drink
ing and gambling, SO he put the
message in his pocket; but in .
short time he heard tile roar of can
non and started to his post, but was
too late. He arrived at the fight just
in time to see his defeated soldiers
retreating. He rushed into the fight
and in trying to rally them was shot.

Abraham Lincoln.

EVelyn HaberstrOh.- grade,
Abraham Lincoln was born in Har.
din county, Kentucky, February IL.
1909. in q little log house that his
father made Of trees, which he chop.
ped down in the forest. His home
was not as good as the barns Of to.
day and stood in the midst OF dense
wood where at night, when be lay
sleeping, he could hear the growl Of
the wolves on the outside. They had
no soft beds like we have, but pile
OF dry leaves to sleep upon. When
Abraham Tor "Abe" as they called
him) was FIVE years old, his mother
sent him to school Few of the folks
who lived near could read or write;
but one man, who knew more than
the rest, used to take few boys and
girls to teach them far small sum
at bis own house. Young men and
women went to the school, but "Abe"
was most always at the head Of his
class. At recess, or after school, he
would stand on q stump Of tree and
make speeches or tell funny stories
that would make children laugh. 1u
the still hours Of the night, by dim
light, he would work at his books
while the rest slept. One time he
walked twelve miles to get q gram
mar and before he went to bed that
night he put it between the logs Of
the house. In the night storm came
up and the book got soiled. The
owner of the book said that "Abe"
would have to pay him rs cents OF
work three days in the corn field.
"Abe" told him be had no money, 80
he worked three days in the corn
field. In the autumn of 1916, when
Abraham was years old, his father
determined to move to Indiana, where
he had bought farm. AS there was
much game in the woods, itowas not
long after that that he learned how
to use gun and would often bring
homo wild fowl for them. In 1860
he was elected president and was in
augurated in 1861. Linco]n's rresi
DENTAL term was great success. He
was one OF the best presidents the
United States ever had. 1t was in
the evening Of Friday, February IA,
1865, that President Lincoln was
shot at Ford's theatre, Washington,
by John Wilkes Booth.

George Washington was good
boy; he never told a lie in his life.
He was born February %, 1892. The
reason we celebrate his birthday il
because he was such good man. He
had scars of the smallpox on his
