Life at Greenaway Court was filled
with just such sports as boys dearly
love-hunting, fishing, riding, asso-
citation with two old soldiers who de-
lighted in telling their adventures to
the eagerly listening boy beside them,
and a little real defending of them
selves against the Indians, who at
tackled the house one night. George
was a natural WoodSman and hunter.
No art or craft of the woods, known
to white man or Indian, was unknown
to him, and his knowledge always re-
suited in a full game bag whenever
he allowed himself a day in the
woods. At Greenaway Court George
had much of his favorite sport, and
on one occasion shot a big black bear,
measuring over five feet from snout
to tail. Lance, who had learned the
art of curing in the woods, soon had
the pelt in excellent condition to be
presented to Georges mother.
Billy, the faithful black boy, who
accompanied George everywhere, pre-
ferred the life at Mount Vernon, for,
as he said, "dee amt no Injuns at
Mount Vernon and de black folks git
jes' as good whites in de kitchen as
de white folks-tuckey an grady, an
all de puddin' OATS lef' over, plenty
of 'lasses and heaps O. good tings."
Georges boyhood passed rapidly
away, occupied as he was with mans
responsibilities. The young man
Washington, the master of Mount
Vernon, to which he succeeded upon
his brothers death; the soldier Wash
ington, the statesman Washington,
the President Washington, were but
the boy Washington developed. In
all these stations he applied the same
intelligence, the same spirit = the
spirit of justice, gentleness, chivalry,
truth and piety.

YE all know a great deal about
A George Washington. the man,

YE all know a great deal about
\A/ George Washington, the man,
w the soldier, the statesman
aid the President, but very
little of George Washington the boy.
His boyhood will prove interesting
and at the same time helpful to boys
who are striving to make something
Of themselves.
! George Washington was born on a
plantation of 1900 acres called Wake
field, in Westmoreland County, Va,
sixty-five miles below Washington
city, on the Potomac.
Mary Ball, Washington's mother,
was a mother worthy of her splendid
son. She had spent some years of
her girlhood at the homeof her broth
er, Joseph Ball, at Cookham, in Berk-
shire, England, where Augustine
Washington, Georges father, happen
ing to be in England upon affairs con-
nected with his property, met her.
She was regarded as a belle and beau
ty, and had many admirers in Vir-
ginia as well as in England. Angus
tine Washington was considered one
of the handsomest men of his day,
and was a widower, with two boys, at
the time of his marriage to Mary
Ball. Twelve years later Mary Wash
children, George, Betty, Samuel, John
and Charles, and two stepsons.
George evidently merited his moth
er's love, for he was in all things a
dutiful and upright son. Even for
that time, when children were most
respectful to their parents, he was re-
markedly deferential to them. His
fathers death, and the placing of hon.
ors of the Oldest son upon him, made
him V more manly and dignified.
We are told that at fifteen George was
a splendid specimen of young man
hood. Life in the open air, healthy,
athletic exercise, clean, wholesome
living had added their charms to the
splendid physique and graceful man
ners he had inherited from his father.
At fifteen he was head of the house
hold at Ferry Farm, read family
prayers night and morning, presided
at the table, was obeyed by his broth
ers, worshiped by his sister, and con-
suited by his mother, herself an adj
mirable manager and woman of bust
ness.
When Lord Fairfax, an old ac-
q%uaintance of Mrs. Washington's in
her English days, called at Ferry
Farm to n his association with
her he was visibly impressed with
George, whom he subsequently came
to love.
When introduced to his mothers

ed a most pleasing appearance. He
had dressed himself in his best, in
honor of his guest, wearing a coat and
knee breaches of dark blue cloth, wo-
ven and dyed at home. His waist
coat was of white brocade, made from
his mothers wedding gown. His shoe
buckles and knee buckles were very
elegant ones, having been his faith
er's. His blonde hair was made into a
club tied with a black ribbon, while
under his arm he carried a smart
three-cornered hat, for the hat played
a prominent part in the ceremonious
bows of the period. His dog, a beau
tiful long-eared setter, Rather, was
always at his side, while crouching
somewhere near was the black boy
Billy, who adored George, and would
defy Mrs. Washington's threats and
frowns and the beatings of Uncle JAS
