Little George was to be a great
man, but his father couldn't see any
signs of it, nor did his mother expect
anything. He ate his pudding and
milk for supper just like other boys,
and he always knelt down by his bed
side and prayed before he worked his
way between the sheets. Nothing &C.
Cured to show that greatness was
sleeping in his character until he was
sixteen yearssold. Then a bear killed
one Of his fathers sheep, and he was
bemoaning the loss of the old woody,
when the son spoke up and said:
"'"Father, will kill that bear for
you. He has done very wicked thing
| and should be punished for it,
"'"But, you are only a boy" said
the father.
"'"1 know it, papa, but I feel a
greatness within. Let me take YOUR
old shotgun and will load it with
a handful Of peach stones and bring
you back the scalp of that bear, or
1 will perish in attempting to do so ~
"And the father consented, and lit
tie George took the old musket out
and became great in an hour. He saw
the bear and discharged a load of
peach stones at him, and he not only
ended the life Of Bruin, but killed
seven sheep at the same discharge
He brought all the scalps to his ia
Their, and the overjoyed parent took
him into the house and said:
"'"I surely have great son in this
my little George. Keep on, my son
and you will be known of all the
world."'

Philbrick wanted something original
and I think I have given it to him.
We will now go ahead again.
1T is said that little George never
told lie. This is a mistake. He
told three or four every day, and some
awful whoppers, but he lied as gently
as he could, and there was no sin in
his heart when he lied. His father
had a favorite plum tree. 1t was a
favOrite because it never bore over
a dozen plums at once, and because
every plum was wormy. One day a
slave on his fathers plantation had
his ears cuffed for some impudence,
and he seized the ak and went out
and cut that plum tree down for re-
venge. Little George saw him do it,
but he was not boy to 60 and blab
everything out. When his old man
missed that tree, and demanded to
know who had cut it down, what did
little George do? He spoke right up
and claimed that he cut it down with
his little Ratchet to see if the Ratchet
had an edge on it. His father was
going to give him the darndest lick
ing boy ever got, but, the fact that
little George had told the truth, when
he could have lied just as we'll as
not, appealed to the parent. He took
his son in his arms, and forgave him,
and told him that he would buy him
a dozen more hetchets, and he could
cut down every tree around the house,
