GEORGE WASHINGTON.

George Washington's birthday is
February %. He was born in 1872 ana
died at the age Of sixty-seven.
He was the first president OF the
United States and was one of the
greatest and bravest men through all
our history. He loved his country.
He was one of our generals in the
revolutionary war.
One of his greatest delights in child
hood was to play soldier.
He always studied hard and he
loved his mother and father.
One time in his life he wanted to
be a sailor, and his mother didn't
want him to go. ....
When he was a little boy, his father
bought him Ratchet and as he had
seen his father cut down big trees IN
the forest, George went into the Or
chard and cut down one Of his fathers
cherry trees. When his father saw
what he had done. he called George
to him and asked if he had cut down
the cherry tree. and George would
never tell a lie, so he told him he did,
and his father said he would rather
have George not to tell lie than to
have the cherry tree.
George Washington was first in war.
first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen, and that is why
we celebrate his birthday.

We stopped at a bake shop and bought
couple Of doughnuts, two buns. some
ham. cheese and cake. Then we had the
man put 1T in a sack as we did not
have time to eat 1t then and we
thought we would take it to the cir
Gus and eat it there.
When we got to the circus, the first
thing we looked at was the animals
When we came to the elephant he
started to grab my little red cap in his
trunk, but lucky for me noticed him
in time and ran away, because I did
not want the elephant to have my lit
tie cap. When we came to the monkeys
/ stopped down to pick up peanut for
one of them and the monkey just put
out his paw and grabbed my little red
cap. We had hard. time getting It
away from him. Then we went into
the show and sat down on seat. BY
that time l was hungry and said to
mamma: "Give me something to eat"
and so mamma took out our dinner and
we ate 1t. When the boy came around
selling things leased mamma until
che got me a glass Of Lemonade and
brick Of popcorn. I also got my little
red cap full Of peanuts. When we came
home mamma had to stop at the doc
tors, office, as I was sick i'll the Way
home. That was last fall, and I
thought my little red cap was gone but
I found it the other day in the bureau
drawer.
