born boy, who was destined to make
America a free nation. He was called
George Washington. He was the son
of Augustine and Mary Ball Washing
ton. His father was wealthy planter.
He died when George was but eleven
years old. AS boy Washington was
noted for his truthfulness, courage and
generosity. He soon acquired all the
learning that he could gain from a
country school and then passed to an

called the United States. They have
been called United States ever since
The people wanted WASHINGTON to be
GOVERNOR. but her said no. Then they
wanted him to be president so he said
he would not be proud but for his fell
low men. Soon as the first term was
ended he was elected president for an
other for he was so well liked by the
people. Then the people wanted him
for third term but he said there was
another man Just as wise as he. In
his farewell address he said for the
people to keep united. John Adams
was then elected.
Washington returned to his home at
Mt. Vernon to make his home until
his death.

WHY GEORGE WASHINGTON CUT
DOWN THE CHERRY TREE.

Once George Washington was given
Ratchet, he was very proud of its
sharp edge He went cutting every
thing that come in his way. He had
often seen the woodmen cutting down
trees in the forest. He thought he
would play woodman. So he began to
chop at cherry tree in his father S
orchard.
There were so many trees in the
orchard that he thought his father
for a long time, first on one side and
then on the other. That was the way
the woodmen did. Soon the tree began
to crack. This was great fun he
thought. One more chop and the
tree would fall. The branches crashed
against the tree next to it. George
played that it made as much noise as
the trees in the forest.
By and by Georges father came in
to the orchard 70 see how the trees
wre getting alng. He could hardly
look at it. Who could have done it?
He said to himself He hurried to the
house He was very angry. He called
his farm servants to him. He asked
them if they knew who cut the cherry
tree down. Nobody could tell him.
He called the house servants to him,
but they knew nothing about the tree.
He shouted to George to come to him,
and asked him if he knew who had cut
down the tree. George saw his father
was angry. At first he was afraid.
He did not dare tell lie. He thought
he did not know. Then he thought
what a coward he would be to tell a
lie. So he said, Father, l will not
tell lie to YOU it was that cut down
the cherry tree
Georges father was so surprised he
could not speak. He stood staring at
George. "You cut down my cherry
tree?" he said at last. Eyes, it was T."
George answered Then the tears came
in his fathers eyes. He knew how
hard it was for George to tell the
truth. He did not scold George, bat
took him in his arms and said, my
good honest boy, am SO glad you
would not tell lie, I would rather
lose every tree in the orchard than to
have my boy untruthful. George never
forgot the cherry tree and what his
father told him. George never told a
lie in his whole life

place but it would not stay. He went
out of the orchard into field.
BY and by his father came out to
look at his trees. He saw that one of
his small cherry trees was lying up
on the ground. He called George, oh
George" George came into the orchard
and his father asked him if he cut tho
tree down. George said he did. His
father said: This Is one Of my fine
trees. 1t was growing so nicely, but
you told me the truth. will not pun
ish you" This was Georges birthday
Ratchet. His birthday is February %.
He was our first president.

THE BOYHOOD OF WASHINGTON.

Perhaps there Is not boy in the
United States who has not heard the
story of that other boy who lived more
than a hundred years ago-the one
mean who owned little Ratchet and
went here and there trying its bright
keen blade on everything he met and
then said those words that will never
be forgotten, II cannot tell lie" Not
every one though, knows the other
good and pleasant things that are told
Of the great General Washington when
he was true, brave and noble, and was
a leader and ruler even then. When
the other boys had disputes or quar-
rels they always called upon George
Washington to settle it. He was fond
of fun, though real pure fun. No shout
or laugh was merrier than his on the
playground.
One of his favorate amusements
was to arrange his p]aymates in COM
panies, pretending that they were sol
diers and he was concentrating
them and the whole ended up in a
great battle.
The love, obedience and honor he
gave his mother was something won
uellul. w men lie was Hdue pIeSlueul
he went to bid his aged mother goodby
the thought that he might never see
her again made him very sad and the
great general leaned his head on his
mothers shoulder and wept.

Heaven and your mothers blessings be
with you always"
