CARMEN BELLICOSUM
In their raised regimentals
Stood the old continentals.
Yielding not,
When the grenadiers were lunging,
And like hail fell the plunging
Cannon shot;
When the files
Of the isles.
From the smoky night encampment, bore the
banner of the rampant
Unicorn,
And grummer, grummer, grummet rolled the
roll of the drummer
Through the mom!
Then with eyes to the front all,
And with guns horizontal.
Stood our sires;
And the balls whistled deadly,
And in streams flashing redly
Blazed the fires;
As the roar
On tha shore
Swept the strung battle-breakers o’er the
green-sodded acres
Of the plain;
And louder, louder, louder, cracked the black
gunpowder,
Cracking a-main)
Now like smiths at their forges
Worked the red St. George’s
Cannoneers;
And the “villainous saltpetre”
Rung a fierce, discordant meter
Round their ears;
As the swift
Storm-drift,
With hot sweeping anger, came the horse
guards’ clangor
On our flanks;
Then higher, higher, higher, burned the old
fashioned fire
Through the ranks!
Then the bare-headed colonel
Galloped through the white infernal
Powder cloud;
And his broad sword was swinging,
And his brazen throat was ringing,
Trumpet loud.
Then the blue
Bullets flew.
And the trooper-jackets redd?n at the touch
of the leaden
Rifle-breath;
And rounder, rounder, rounder, roared the iron
six-pounder,
Hurling death!
—Guy Humphrey McMaster.
“Lighthorse” Harry Lee’s
Tribute to Washington
There lived during the time of our
first I’resident a distinguished gentle
man affectionately known as “Light
liorse” Harry Lee. Lee, a neighbor,
was for twenty-two years on terms
of warmest Intimacy with Washing
ton. Lest intelligent Americans be
taken in by Hughes’ “disclosures,”
this writer begs permission to sub
mit the following appraisement of
Washington by General Lee:
Pious, just, humane, temperate and
sincere; uniform, dignified and com
manding, his example was as edifying
to all around him as were the effects
of that example lasting. To his equals
he was kind; to his inferiors conde
scending, and to tlie dear object of
his affections, exemplary tender. Cor
rect throughout, vice shuddered in his
presence and virtue always felt his
fostering hand; the purity of his
private character gave effulgence to
his public virtues.”—Philadelphia
Ledger.
FIRST “WHITE HOUSE”
The Executive Mansion where Washington,
as tne first President, entertained. During the
English occupation of Philadelphia it was Lord
Howe’s residence and was situated on Market
■ street between Fifth and Sixth.
Two Sublime Declarations
The immortal Declaration of Inde
pendence is really two declarations —
first, a declaration of the rights of
all human beings from the mere fact
of their being human ; second, a dec
laration of independence of the Colo
nies from the mother country. People
should not lose sight of these two dis
tinct declarations in our glorious char
ter of liberty.
NOT ON GROUND OF
BUNKER HILL FIGHT
But Battle Occurred Near
Where Monument
Now Stands.
Many people think that the Rattle
of Bunker Hill consisted of an as
sault by British troops upon an earth
work on top of the hill in Charles
town, where the monument now
stands. That is not true; or rattier,
it Is only partly true according to
Willard De Lue in the Boston Globe.
There was an earthwork on the green
plot, now a park, on the crest of
Breed's hill—the monument grounds—
and there were nttacks made upon it
by the British. But much of the light
ing was done to the northward of the
monument, on ground now covered by
city streets, dwelling houses, schools
and wharves.
One must walk several blocks north
ward to reach the scene of the other
and equally important fighting of that
historic day. When the British troops

landed at Moulton’s point, close to the
present Chelsea bridge, it was clear
that an attempt would be mode to
march up the Mystic shore and thus
reach the rear of the redoubt on the
hill, rendering it untenable.
To prevent this about 700 New
Hampshire troops, under Colonels
Stark and Reed, and 120 Connecticut
men took position behind a stone wall
surmounted by a two-rail fence that
ran down hill to the water, nearly a
quarter mile in the rear of the earth
wall on the hill. Recent surveys
showed this wail to have started near
the north corner of Green and Bunker
Hill streets of today, and to have run
thence down to the beach. Before the
fighting began some of Stark’s men
continued it clear across the beach to
the water’s edge; and there it was that
the first attack, that of the British
light infantry column, was made and
repelled by the gallant men of Amos
keag.
Light From Monticello
Illumined Whole World
Playing over Monticello, which was
the home of Thomas Jefferson, and
lighting up a house on a hilltop 20
miles away, the great searchlight at
Charlottesville, Va., of 1,380,000,000
candle power, affords an interesting
comparison of the illuminating quali
ties of mitul and matter.
Wiien Jefferson lived at Monticello
the lucubrations of his great Intellect
did something more than pick up a
house at 20 miles. It illuminated the
minds of men all over the world, and
finally touched off the French revolu
tion. Its candle power has never been
determined, but if the Declaration of
Independence, the Bill of Rights, and
some other contributions that Jeffer
son made to human progress, were
totaled in watts, the great light at
Charlottesville would pale beside it
as the moon sickens the feeble star,
Jones and Flag
Congress created the American flag
of Stars and Stripes on June 14, 1777.
On the same day it made John Paul
Jones a captain in the Infant Amer
ican navy. Jones once said of this
coincidence: “The flag and 1 are
twins, born the same hour and the
same day out of the womb of destiny.
We cannot be parted in life or in
death. So long as we can float we
shall float together. If we must sink
we shall go down as one." It was this
same dauntless fighter who, when
asked to surrender, hurled back at the
proud Briton: “I have not yet begun
to fight.” Although his own vessel
was sinking Jones forced the British
man-o-war to haul down his colors,
Freedom’s Birth
The signing of the Declaration of In
dependence was one of the greatest
events of the world’s history, for It
was the germination of an ideal which
has enabled America to show the
world the road to Utopia—to the
milleneum.
We should be extremely thankful
for the foresight of our forefathers,
who decided on July Fourth, 1776, to
break anew road to freedom. Amer
tea today is a justification of theii
judgment—Michigan Farmer.
Pretty Sentiment Had
No Weight With Judges
Senator Edge said at Atlantic City
the other day:
“I see by the papers that they have
cut out beauty competitions down here.
A good tiling, too.
“What lots of queer competitions
there are nowadays! They had a
competition in Tamaqua last month
for the most beautiful tiling In the
world —a description in a sentence of
the most beautiful tiling in the world.
“Everybody thought that tlie preach
er would win the grand prize, for his
description was:
“‘My mother’s eyes.’
“Blit the president of the chamber
of commerce won witli:
“The most beautiful tiling In the
world is to see a man carry Ids moth
er-in-law across a deep and dangerous
stream without trying to drop her ui.’ ”

Women Willing to Work
Way on Ocean Liners
Modern women hear the call of the
sea just ns insistently as do their mi
venturous brothers, judging by ship
ping companies’ long waiting lists of
women seeking jobs on ocean liners.
Hundreds of applicants for positions
as stewardesses, conductresses, nurses,
manicurists, hairdressers and shop at
tendants on shipboard present them
selves to shipping companies weekly.
Many of them are women of good
birth and education, and with a love
of travel, hut who cannot afford world
tours and are willing to work their
way in order to get them.
Shipping officials point out, however,
that shipboard jobs are so strenuous
and exacting that there is no chance
for the woman who takes them as a
means of cheap travel getting to see
much of tin* world while she is work
ing in a liner.
Horses Have Smile Coming
Horses might laugh if they could
read the time tables of modern high
speed motor busses in Paris. Traffic
congestion is blamed, but it is true
that the slow-going horses made al
most as good speed as the six-wheeled
gasoline craft that replaced them. On
two of the routes across town the time
tables of the busses is just 15 per cent
faster than that of horses a genera
tion ago.
No Place for Him
Governor Byrd, at a luncheon In
Richmond, was opposing the political
debut of a millionaire witli ti dubious
record.
“The limelight,” Governor Byrd end
ed—“the limelight is no place for a
man who needs a whitewash.”
Wasted Time
“Unheard of! I bargained with
Meier on I lie telephone for 20 minutes
and then lie called me a cheat and a
swindler.”
“Yes, lie might just as well have
said it at once and been done with it.’’
—Vienna Faun.
Triumph of Civilization
Tlie Homebody—How were the Bor
neo head hunters induced to give up
that awfui practice?
The Missionary—We persuaded them
that imitation Ivory was just as good
as what they were getting.
Fight Poison With Poison
Oregon farmers are eliminating
weeds by spraying them with poison
when tlie sap flows freest.
Minatory
“Did lie threaten you when lie kissed
you ?”
“Yes; he said: ‘lf you scream, I
will never kiss you again.’ ”
How long ago was it when little
girls playing their first piece on the
piano played “Monastery Bells?”
It sometimes happens that a man
convinces others without convincing
himself.
Politics and morality are frequently
not on speaking terms.
