A ROCKING CHAIR.

Once upon a time there was large
mahogany tree that grew in Oregon.
1t grew very happy among the other
trees.
One day some men came with saws
axes and other tools that were needed
The men went straight to work and
cut all the good trees down that they
could find and last of all cut down
this big tree.
In day or two large log train
came along and all the logs were load
ed on and we're pulled to very large
saw mill near Eugene, Oregon.
When it was sawed into large
planks or boards it was loaded into
car and sent to a planning mill.
1t was then planed into nice boards
and sent to a chair factory where men
shaped out rounds, legs and other
things that were needed for the chair.
When the chair was done it was
vanished nice and sold to furniture
dealer. the man got it for his little
girl. When his little girl saw it she
was greatly delighted when little girls
came they often sat in it and put their
dolls in it.

large plantation on the shore of the
Potomac river Georges great grand

years before. George Washington
father was q rich man. In GEORGES
house they had fire place at the edge
of the house. ABOUT four years after

a plantation. After they moved to
the new plantation their house burn
ed down.
There were no good schools in Vir.

the affairs of their plantation Most
of the men could read and write lit
