name was Mr.. Hobby
George had no playmates, he had a
brother named Lawrence. He was
very proud of his mnnly little brother
George, and George was proud Of him.
When George was going to school,
he began to think of soldiers life.
He drilled the little boys in school.
They would march and have blood1ess
battles George was a captain.
George soon became tall boy, no
could run swiftly and was very strong.
He could throw farther than any body
else in school.
George was not afraid to ride a
wild horse or colt. One day he and
his brother went out to the meadow
and saw Mrs. Washington's horse
prancing about. George said, Boys
If you help me get the horse and
bride him, will ride him. So they
got him bridled, George jumped UP
and the colt began to kick and prance
in order to throw his rider off, but
he stayed on as IL he were glued there
at last the horse broke blood yes,
sci and died When the boys went
into breakfast his mother asked
George how her colt was.
Dead" replied George.
Dead. is it possible!" exclaimed
his mother.
Eyes, mother, dead" replied her
son. Then he told her just how it
happened. His mothers face flushed
with anger. Then she said: while
I regret the loss of my favorite colt
I rejoice in my son, who always
speaks the truth.
When George was eleven years OLD
his father died, but his mother took
pains to bring him up to be a good
man. He was now sent to school tc
Mr.. Williams. He learned there rc
read, write and arithmetic and studied
little book of surveying and book
keeping.
George took great pains with al
all he did He wrote one hundred
rules for behavior in company. He
wished to be gentleman in every
way. Lawrence wanted him to be 6
sea man and he wanted to but his
mother was unwilling, SO he stayed
at school until he was sixteen

MY CAT

once had Maltese cat. When
he was little kitten, mamma and
got him at neighbors house and
took him home with us and he was
contented and we kept him for three
years. We had him trained to do
many tricks. When he would look
at our canary bird we slapped him.
We called him Malty.
We moved him several times and he
staid with us. But when we moved
across the rcil road track into another
part of town he wanted to go back.
But all day he slept in his place on
the rockingham, but in the evening
he wanted out and mamma let him
out. We think he went back to the
old place and got killed by the cars.
But there will never be another cat
like Malty.
