THE HUSTLER OF ROME SUNDAY OCTOBER 14 1894,
Knew His Place.
Harper’s Magazine prints a story
of an old Revolutionary soldier, a
resident of Vermont, who never
wearied of relating his own adven
tures, and who, as he grew older,
seemed to grow more and more
imaginative. One “yarn,” of which
he was particularly fond, had to
do with the time when General
Washington needed, for some rea
son, to send a dispatch to General
Lafayette. The trip was so pecu
liarly hazardous that Washington
hesitated to order anyone to under
take it.
He stepped out in front of a line
lof men and asked fora volunteer.
For a moment or two no one mov
ed.
‘ ‘Then, ’ ’ the veteran Vermonter
used to say, “1 just stepped out
three paces and tipped ,my hat,
and said I, ‘l’m your man, Mr.
Washington. ’ ”
He set out at once, and after
many hair-breadth escapes, found
General Lafayette and returned
safely to camp. Then he hastened
to the “Mr. Washington’s” tent
and reported his errand accom
plished. At this point in his story
the old gentleman always waxed
eloquent:
“The general he said he thouht
as how I was as plucky, ,and as
able a man as he’d ever see; and
then he took off' his sword and belt,
and he handed ’em to me, sayin’
as how I was so much braver than
him I’d earned the right to wear
’em instead of him. He thought as
how I was so much more fitten for
sich honor than him, an’ he want
ed me to take his place.”
At this interesting point the
narrator would stop and wait till
some one asked, as some one al
ways did:
“What did you say. Mr. L—?”
Then he would draw himself up
to his full height and reply:
“I says to him, says I, ‘Mr.
Washington, you’re a better eddi
cated man than 1 am; you keep
’em yourself,’ ”
Feltonism is worse than the
rankest populism. With the aged
Hopper it is “anything for office.
Are Some of These. Yours.
Are those ugly ill-tempersd
words spoken so sharply really
yours?
Are those rude habits of whis
pering, of usiuu slang and ot con
tinual lack of quietness yours?
Are those dreadful habits, of
impertience to your parents, of
lack of consideration for others
and of untidiness yours.
Are the rough ways, the scream
ing voice, yours?
If they are take my advice,
carry them nut to the great sea of
oblivion and drop every one far
down into its depths.

New York. Out, 13 A young

ried not long ago to Edward G.

For several months their rela
fives in Norwich had received no
tidings <f them, but one day this
week a postal card came from them

It stated briefly that they were

them from various p iris of the Em

from the land.
They hobed to be able in some
way to gtt across the frontier into
Russia, The card evidently
had been hurriedly written, and
the tenor of it indicated that the
entire party felt that they were in
