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 r" M g :: : 5 M l .. ;1 • V ■ IfC - > ■*- . SViVv ;.. • ' il§ : ' vXy:::.v:: • ! * j p®iy Bunker Hill Monument. 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.’ ” -—Detroit Free Press. 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.
