BY WILLIAM +. BARTON.

The George Washington hatchet
story has become a joke. One rarely
hears il referred 10 except in terms of
hilarity. But it is one OF a very few
stories that have come down 10 us
concerning the youth Of Washington,
and il is not in all respects un'
worthy either of credence or respect.
The original little hatchet story
comes to us from the pen Of Rev.
Masn l.. Weems, friend of Wash
ington, and for a time rector Of Po-
hick church, where Washington at
tended. He wrote several books. the
most famous OF which is his Life Of
Washington" The first edition was a
pamphlet of SO pages, which ap.
peared in 1900, very shortly after the
death of Washington. 1t grew into a
sizable little book of 244 pages. 1t
ran through 40 or more editions.
Lee Praises Book.
Weems was the friend not only OF
the Washington family, but also Of
the Lees and other noted Virginia
people The title-page Of his book
bears this testimonial from General
Lee Light Horse Harry" of the
Revolutionary army. the intimate
friend Of Washington:
THE author has treated this great
subject with admirable success in a
new way. He turns all the actions
OF Washington 10 the encouragement
Of virtue, by a careful application oil
numerous exemplifications drawn from
the conduct of the founder OF our
republic from his earliest life"
That is virtually to say that Gen
eral Lee and other intimate friends
of Washington admired this stilted old
biography for the very qualities which
have caused us 10 ridcule it.
1t is interesting to peruse the story
of the little hatchet precisely as Par
son Weems wrote it. Having related
how the father of George was very
careful to train him in habits of
truthfulness. with classic parallel ref
erences to Ulysses and Telemachus, he
says:
Sowing Good Seed.
This. you'l say, was sowing good
seed!-Yes. It was: and the crop
thank God. was as | believe II ever
will be, where a man acts the true
parent that is, the guardian angel

The following anecdote is a case ir
point. 1t is too valuable to be lost
and too true TO be doubted; for il
was communicated to me by the same
excellent lady to whom / am indebted
| for the last.
When George" said she, was
about six years old. he was made the
wealthy master Of hatchcet, ol
which. like most little boys, he was
immoderately fond, and was constant

The Truth About George
Washington and + lis I Iatchet

ly going about chopping everything
that came in his way.
"one day. in the garden. where he
often amused himself hacking his
mothers pea-sticks, he unluckily tried
the edge of his hatchet on the body
of a beautiful young English cherry
tree, which he barked so terribly
that l don't believe the tree ever got
the better of it, The next morning
the old gentleman, finding out what
had befallen his tree. which, by the
way, was a great favorite, came into
the house; and with much warmth
asked for the mischievous author. de-
claring at the same time that he
would not have taken five guineas
for it.
A Tough Question.
Presently George and his hatchet
made their appearance. George, said
his father, do you know who killed
that beautiful little cherry tree yon-
der in the garden?
This was a tough question; and
George staggered under it for a mo
ment: but quickly recovering himself,
and looking at his father with the
sweet fact of youth. frightened with
the ineNpressible charm of all-con'
quering truth, ne bravely cried OUT
L can't tell lie, pa; you know I
can't tell u lie. I did cut it with my
hatchet.
Run to my arms, you dearest
boy cried his father in transports
run to my arms; glad am 1, George
that you killed my tree! for you have
paid me thousand fold. Such an
act OF heroism in my son is worth
more than thousand trees. though
blossomed with silver and their fruits
of purest gold.'"
Parscn Weems obtained this story
from an old lady, whose lifelong ac-
duaintance with Washington gave her
access to facts of his early life, and
whose reputation for truthfulness was
unchallenged.
Rested on Fact.
Weems did not invent the story
and neither did his informant. TIL.
story rested on some basis of fact
1t is not likely that it came down
without exaGgeration, but when you
have made all possible deduction, what
have you left? A father, training his
boy. having done wrong act and
being tempted to seek refuge in false
hood, bravely telling the truth, and
his father commencing the truthful
ness instead of furnishing the boy.
So. after we have had our little
laugh at Parson Weems and his high
" colored narrative, l am disposed to
say that the little hatchet story is
still a good one TO tell to American
boys.
