mother.
His mother stood beside him beg

He turned and spoke to the negro

YOUNG GEORGE WASHINGTON.

George Washington was born in a
plain old fashioned home In West
moreland county, Virginia, on the 22d
day of February, 1892. He was sent
to what was called an "old field
field" school house. The country
school houses in Virginia at that time
were built in fields too much worn out
to grow anything. Little George
Washington went to school taught
by man named Hoffy.
In that day the land in Virginia was
left to the Oldest son, after the custom
of England, for Virginia was an Eng
lish colony, so Georges elder brother
Lawrence was to have the land and be
the gentleman of the family.
He had been sent to England for his
education. When he got back, with
many a strange story of England to
tell, George became very proud of
him and Lawrence was equally pleas
ed with his manly little brother.
When Lawrence went away as a cap
tain in the regiment raised In America
for service in the English army
against the Spaniards in the West
Indies, George began to think much
of soldiers life, and to drill the
boys in Hoffy's school. There were
marches and parades and bloodless
battles fought among the tufts of
broom straw in the old field, and in
these young George was captain.
This play captain became tall
boy. He could run swiftly and he wa.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Ke-
lucky Feb. IL, 1909. His father re-
moved to Indiana when he was a lit
tie boy and while that country was
exceedingly wild and rough. The fam
lily lived in a half faced camp-that is
a, cabin with one side left out and the
fire was built out Of doors, In front
Of the open side. Abraham endured
many privations and struggled hard
to get an education. The schools were
few and the teachers ignorant, but
Lincoln trained his own mind by care
fully thinking out every subject that
puzzled him, and he spent his spare
time In reading. He worked on a farm
went to New Orleans on a fiat boat,
was clerk in a country store, learned
and practiced surveying and then
studied law. He served several terms
Ia the legislature Of Illinois, and was
a member Of congress. He became q
leading lawyer and politician In his
state, and gained a national fame by
a series Of debates, in which he was
engaged with Senator Douglas in
1858. His integrity, his moderation,
and his strong speech brought him the
nomination for president, and the rest
of his history is that Of the country
His death took place on April IL,
1865. He was fifty-seven years old.

STORY OF WASHINGTON.

George Washington was born In
Westmoreland county, Virginia, on
the 22d of February, 1882. George
was brave little boy. He never told
lie in his life. 1t is said he could
run the fastest and Jump the farther
est In his school. When any Of his
schoolmates got into quarrel they
brought them to him to settle and
why they did this was because he
was SO Just George used to drill the
boys in Hobby school. Once George
was trying to break colt which be-
longed to his mother. George got the
saddle and bride on the colt and got
on him. This made the colt very an.
cry. He leaped and kicked and finally
run against wall and fell down dead.
Poor George did not know what to do.
He went into the house and told his
mother that he had killed her colt.
She was very sorry about 1t. When
George was IL years old his father
died. He was sent to school to Mr..
Williams from whom he learned read
ing, writing and arithmetic To these
were added little bookkeeping and
surveying. He took lessons in mill
tary drill from soldier, and practiced
sword exercises under the instruc-
ton of a Dutchman named Won Braam.
Washington was very good and
brave young man. Washington fought
in two great wars and these were the
French and Indian war and the Revo
lutionary. A. convention was called
to meet In Philadelphia in 1887, FIVE
years after the close of the Revolu-
ton. This convention Of which Wash
ington was the president. made new
constitution which should bind all the
states together into country, under
the rule of president and congress.
Washington was again elected presi-
dent in 1892. He refused to be elect
ed third time, and, after publishing
a farewell address to the country, he
left the presidency in 1897. He died
at Mount Vernon in 1893.
1t is said that Washington was SO
careful of his behavior that he wrote
one hundred rules of good behaviour

a powerful wrestler. The stories Of
the long jumps he made are beyond
belief. 1t was also said that he could
throw farther than anybody else.
The people of that day went every
where on horseback, and George was
not afraid to get astride of the Wild
est horse or an unbroken colt. These
things proved that he was a strongly
built fearless bow, but better thing is
told Of him. He was SO just that his
schoolmates used to bring their quar-
rels for him to settle.
When Washington was IL years old
his father died, but his mother took
pains to bring him up with manly
ideas. He was now sent to a Mr.. will

His copy books have been kept, and

that he wished to be a gentleman in
every way.

A STORY OF GEORGE WASH
INGToN.

George Washington was the first
president of the United States. 1t is
now about a hundred years since he
died. George Washington was tall
man, more than six feet In height. He
was the man that led the armies of
our country In the long war which
gave us independence and made us a
free people. In times Of danger there
was no one more brave than he. One
day when his army was in camp
George Washington walked out alone
to enjoy the morning air and see
what was going on as 1t was winter.
He had put on long overcoat and SO
the soldiers among whom he passed
did not know that he was the general
At one place there was a corporal
with his men building breastwork
of logs. They were just about raising
a very heavy log when Washington
