LIZ children are familiar with
the adventures of Captain
John Smith. the brave Eng

first English Colony in this country.
at jamestown in 1907. All are ac-
quainted with that romantic event
when the pretty Indian maiden, Poca-
hontas, saved his life. But few know
anything about John Smith as a boy.
The following extracts are taken from
the book, THE Adventures of Captain
John Smith," and are interesting in SO
far as we get an idea of the man
in the making"
More than three hundred years
ago, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
there lived at Willoughby, in Lincoln
shire, prosperous farmer named
George Smith and his wife Alice. Mas
ter Smith was of gentle birth, and he
owned a comfortable homestead. sub
stantially furnished after the fashion
of those times, and broad acres well
stocked with cattle.
Master and Mistress Smith were
very upright, honorable people, and
they brought up their children, John,
Francis, and Alice, carefully, and
taught them above all things to fear
God and honor the Queen.
John, their eldest, was a fine,
sturdy, intelligent little fellow. He was
early sent to the Grammar School at
Afford, the neighboring town. But
the boy loved stories of wars and ad-
~.
though he was very quick at learn
ing. He had come of sea-faring
race, though his father was only a
farmer. Many of his ancestors had
served their country, and his fathers
brother had sailed the sea with Fran
els Drake and fought on his ship at
the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
John was only eight years old at
this heart-stirring time, when the
beacon-fires fiared the news all over
England. 1t was then that he firmly
made up his mind to be sailor.
Often and often he begged his ia
ther to let him go, but Master
Smith, whose health began to fail,
would shake his head sadly and say:
Content thee, Jack; thou art my
eldest son. But Master Smith,
thinking perhaps that it would be
good for Jack TO go away from home
for awhile, took him from the Gram
mar School at Afford and sent him to
live with some relatives at Louth.
town about ten miles distant. Jack
attended Grammar School at this
town for some time, but at last, when
he was about fifteen, he felt he could
bear 1t no longer, and made up his
mind to run away. One morning in
the early spring, as he was tramping
along to school. he met a peddler and
asked how much he would give for his
satchel and all the books it contained.
Books were valuable in those days,
and the peddler and Jack soon struck
Il bargain.
with the small sum of money he
thus obtained, John was about to start
off secretly for the nearest seaport,
when messenger arrived from Will
loughby to fetch him home. Master
George Smiths sickness had rapidly
increased and he was thought to be
dying. So John. we-stricken, went
back with the man. He found his ia

By this time the listeners were en-

When his mamma finished explaining
her scheme he was enthusiastic.
"Ch, you good mamma. How did
you ever think of it?'
Now you call Marie over to help
you and we'll be ready in jiffy."
Marie was neishbor girl about
Buddys age. Buddy lost no time in
telling his playma,, of the scheme
and she readily consented to help
him. Pretty soon all was ready.
The Kids had just passed through
the main street of Stringtown--the
business part of town. All the store
keepers, clerks and everybody on the
streets had crowded en- the curb to
see the circus band boys go march
ing proudly past. AS the music Cor

and the Kids disappeared around a
corner, the storekeepers and pedes-
trians returned to their business. In
a few minutes what was their sur
prise to hear another band coming!
And this time it was not a tumble of
noise made by tin pans and combs
but as 1t approached, the business
men thought it was the prettiest band

rushed out on the sidewalks to see
where it was coming from.
Down the street, marching proudly

Be that as it may, the boys enjoyed

fact that never a spectator had been

as Dumpy Richardson remarked.
More animals, a longer show and bet

not pretend to have a sure enough
band. Indeed, the organization did
not boast a single sure enoug.-" in

made quite creditable showing in
