At the Age of Thirteen

zwT the early age of thirteen,
 George Washington drew up a
 set of original rules for his I V future conduct, which he tried to live up to the rest of his life. He called them Rules of Civility and De- cent Behavior in Company" There were 54 in all. Here are few of them to show you the earnestness and thought of a boy of only 13 years of age:
 Speak not when others speak, sii not when others stand. and walk moi when others stop"
 Turn not your back to others, es. pecially in speaking; jog not the table or desk on which another reads or writes; lean not on any one"
 Show not yourself glad at the mis. fortune of another, though he wert your enemy
 When a man does all he can though he succeeds not we'll, blami not him that did it."
 Speak not injurious words either in jest nor earnest. Scoff at none although they give occasion"
 ''Detract not from others, bu neither be excessive in commenting. 7
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-20

It didn't sound one bit like a fife and drum corps, much less one playing Yankee Doodle" But Paul said the enemy would recognize it and be half scared out of their wits
 Paul bent low over his horses neck and tried to look very fierce and brave as he rode straight at the English lines with the bullets raining all about him.
 And Tom yelled at the top of his voice and aimed with his gun and fired and cried out: Surrender, you English soldiers, Surrender in--ir-- in the name of the law," Which seemed to him very effective battle- cry.
 Suddenly something happened. No, it couldn't have been that the English soldiers charged them and shot them. for there weren't any there, to be truthful. But-well-Paul leaned too far over the neck of his horse and suddenly he upset, plunging headfirst to the floor.
 Freddy, who was close beside him and jumping up and down as he toot- ed his horn, stumbled over the horse and landed right on top of Paul-beg pardon, I mean General Washington. And at that very moment Tom was just completing mighty sweep with his gun at an imaginary English sol dier, having decided that since his bullets were all gone he would have to hit the English soldier over the head with the butt of his rifle. But, alas-right on top of Freddy's small head.
 Instantly the most awful noises and yells and shouts came from the boys on the floor. Paul was mad because he knew George Washington had never been in such an undignified po- sition; and besides, Paul had bumped his head against the floor.
 And Freddy was mad because Tom had hit him and his head hurt
 And Tom-we1l--in the excitement Tom forgot that Paul and Freddy were American soldiers and must have imagined them the enemy; for he continued to pummel them with his gun and shout: Surrender. Sur renderv'
 Just then, Mamma came into the nursery to find out what in the world was the cause of all the noise. She quickly separated the contestants and
 That was quite enough George Washington" for one day. she de- clared; so Paul and Freddy and Tom had to postpone ''The Surrender of Cornwallis to Washington at York town" until some other day.

that, whenever the army was in diff culty, no matter where they were To- cated, it became a by-word for them to say: "We must consult Brother Jonathan" until the term stood for the United States, just as John Bull was, and is still applied, to England. p
 'Is Brother Jonathan still applied to our states?" asked Lucy.
 We still hear the expression, but Uncle Sam is now the popular phrase"
 why do people call the United States Uncle sam'?'' asked Lucy. eager to hear more.
 During the Revolutionary War the army food was inspected by one Elbert Anderson, the chief of this depart ment. Anderson's right hand man was one Samuel Wilson. He was a jovial fellow and well liked and we'll known. Whenever a box of pro- visions was shipped to the army he would O. K it with these initials B. A. U. s. The E. A. for Ebert An derson, and the U. s. for United States, but the friends of Samuel Wilson said the U. s. stood for Uncle Sam as Wilson was affectionately called, and so gradually they connected U. S. with Uncle Sam and eventually Uncle Sam stood for the United States"
 Did Uncle Sam Wilson look like the pictures of our U. s. Uncle Sam {? and did he wear striped brooches and a star-spangled coat?" asked Lucy.
 Not at all. The figure we use to represent U. s. is fanciful, and is the whim of some artist, but the origin still holds good''

Or, if we only had rowboat and a river and some ice floating in it we might play Washington Crossing the Delaware You remember about that, don't your"
 Both Freddy and Tom nodded that they did.
 But" continued Paul. Tets play George Washington at Yorktown. That, you know, was the last big bat tie of the Revolution where Lord Cornwallis, the British General, sur rendered to Washington. Now I have seen picture of it, with General Washington on his white horse and

ped. One time, however. he reached an inn where the landlord made a difference in the price, and when Washington asked for his bill he mo- ticed that his servants charge was three shillings, while his expense was three shillings, nine pence.
 Washington called for the host and asked the reason for the difference
 ''He is only servant answered mine host.''
 But he eats as much as do." said the guest and he insisted on paying the same for both.
 One day as Washington was walk ing along the street a negro slave passed them. The slave deferentially raised his hat to the great man.
 Washington immediately raised his in acknowledgment. The brother of-

You see that picture on the wall ?" And Paul pointed to a picture of some soldiers of the Revolution in their ragged regimentals" charging the enemy with a standard bearer, way ing the flag, in front-"Well, first we will charge like that, with the music playing, and then we'll have the sur render"
 So it was arranged. Paul draped the cloak over his shoulder and put on the hat. Then he placed the hob by horse in the middle of the room and mounted it. He felt certain that he looked just like George Washington. He made Freddy stand behind him with his horn; and then came Tom carrying his gun in most threatening fashion.
