Marjorie Mauzy, Pacific Heights school,
u seventh Grade

More than a century and half ago
In comfortable little house near the
banks of the Potomac river beautiful
baby boy was born. The mother and
father were overjoyed and decided to
call him George.
Georges father was rich man. and
owned many slaves. There was one old
nanny called Dinah, of whom George
was very fond. There were no good
schools in that time, but there was one
known as the Hobby school taught by
a man named Hobby. Only three things
We're taught there-reading writing
and how to do sums.
Looking through the school window
we see not desks and comfortable seats,
but hard benches without backs. The
children, 1S in number, including
George, are busily working on an arith-
metic problem, such as 'if you can buy
two cows for $1oo and sell them at a
gain Of 20 per cent, how much do you
gain?
Having had time to work, the master
asks for the answer. One after another
gave the wrong answer. Finally the
master with disgusted look, called on
George. My answer" he replied, lis
s12e selling price and SEQ gain.'H
Correct. George, you may pass to the
head of the class"
When George reached home that even
ing and told his father of his success
the family were very proud of him.
Somebody told me-" said Mrs. Wash
ington the next morning. that 1t was
a little boys birthday this morning"
ooh, yes. mother" answered George, lit
is my birthday and ! am 10 years old"
"Ail right answered Mrs. washing
ton. ito you on this glorious 2sd Of
February present my love and this
longed for present, a hatchet"
AS 1t was Saturday there was no
school, and George went around and
proudly showed his hatchet to the
slaves working on the plantation, and
was quite pleased when permission was
given to cut down some bushes at the
back of the house.
George spent few hours in boylike
fashion, cutting right and left with his
little hatchet. never thinking of the
harm he might do. On the lawn in front
Of the house stood small cherry tree
which his father hoped in time would
bear fine fruit without thinking,
George made a great cash in the tree
with his sharp hatchet When he saw
what he had done he felt very un-
happy. for coming down the walk was
his father, with a rod In his hand.
When Mr.. Washington saw what
George had done he felt very sad. and,
calling the boy to his side, he said, in
a stern voice. who did this? Who cut
this tree?" George hung his head with
shame. He knew he had done wrong
and stood in fear of the rod which he
knew his father would use where there
was need of it. His face. still red with
shame, was raised to his fathers and.
without a sign of fear. he said:
Father, l can not tell lie. ! did it,"
Mr. Washington did not use the rod,

THE BOYHOOD OF GEORGE WASHINGTON

but, clasping his little son 10 his breast,
he said, with tears in his eyes George,
would rather loose scores and scores
Of trees than have my boy tell lie.'
A few years passed away and with
them Georges father. The task TO
bring up five young folks was left TO
his mother, but she was well ft had
good heart and a fine mind. She used
to read to the boys and tried to bring
them up as gentlemen. When George
was about 13 his brother went to war.
The sight OF him in warlike trim filled
the heart of the young Lad with desire
to be a soldier, and from that time his
plays and games, in school and out,
took on a warlike trim. He gathered
number of boys together and they
formed his army, and at all times he
was commander in chief.
George was also very fond of all
sports that boys love, such as running,
jumping and climbing, taking part in
all teats that could keep him in health
and strength. His favorite animal was
a horse, and there was not steed too
wild for George to mount.
Mrs. Washington had colt, OF
which she was very proud, but il was
so fierce that no none dared 10 get on
his back.
One day coming home from school,
George said to his boy friends, IF you
will help me on the colt and put the
bit in his mouth, ] will ride him. Hav-
ing agreed TO do so, the boys drove the
colt to small fence, put the bit in
his mouth and helped George mount.
''Hurrah, harrah, boys, I'm on!' cried
George, as the beast rushed into the
field. The colt reared and plunged,
trying in every way to rid itself of the
lad, who chung to the bareback as IL
he had been glued there. Mad NTH
rage, the colt tried once more TO throw
him, but strained toe hard and fell to
the ground dead. The group of boys
were well scared at this sad end of
their fun, and scarce knew what to do,
but they went back to the house
On arriving there Mrs. Washington
asked them If they had seen her fine
colt, Of which she was so proud. Some
of the lads hung their heads, some
knew not what TO say, but George
spoke up in a frank manner and said
that the colt was dead. "Dead?" cried
Mrs. wash1ng gton, 'and from what
cause% Then George told her what
had been done and how the beast had
fought to get free and at last, with one
wild plunge fallen dead. blush rose
to his mothers face and, with tears in
her eyes, she said to George 1T is well,
but while / grieve at the loss of my
fine colt I feel a pride and joy in my
son, who speaks the truth at all times."
All through his life George Wash
ington carried these principles with
him. and finally became the Father OF
of the United States.

you got special contract on a con-
tlngent fee basis every time any speci
al case bobbed up?" asked Represen-
tative e. w. Saunders OF Virginia, a
member of the committee. Isn't II
strange that the Indians had to sign
so many contracts in order to get
their affairs Strengthened out when
the government was supposed to look
after q great part OF that work."
Indians Trusted Him.
Mr.. McMurray replied that he had
been identified with the Indians for
so many years they had come TO look
TO him TO take care OF their legal af-
fairs. He said hardly an act had
been passed by their tribal councils
without the sanction OF his legal firm.
Many OF the expense allowances, the
witness said, had been collected by
him without the knowledge OF the de-
partment of the interior. Also. he
said, many acts passed by the tribal
legislature were not submitted to the
president of the United States. as II
was asserted was required.
Asked by Representative G. B. Mil
Ter Of Minnesota whether his work
bad not tended to lead the Indians
away from close relationship with
the government, Mr.. McMurray said
he always had done bis utmost TO
bring the Indians and the government
together. II was also shown that the
Indians had employed other attorneys
besides McMurray, each tribe paying
5000 a year aud one Of the tribes
$4,000 year for special counsel.
How much money in the aggregate
the Indians have pledged themselves
TO pay for attorneys has not yet been
determined by The committee.
