the Sunday following the capture, Allen,
after patiently listening for some time,
rose in his pew and called out : '"Par-
son Dewey, Please mention the fact
that Ethan Alien rds there" The mod
est chieftain was not jealous of the dis
tribution of honorS. but didn't care to
be left off the muster-rol entirely.
This anecdOte. which is not familiar, is
vouched for by the New York Evening
Post.
Ethan Allen was 10 chance hero, but
man of force of character which
would have made him conspicuous in
any condition in life. In the solitudes
of pioneer life. his untutored mind
wrestled with grave problems. and,
when the Revolution came ON. his soul
grasped the issue with the certainty, if
not with the legal acumen, Of Sam
Adams. He was of stirring family,
and, next to himself, his cousin, Rev.
Thomas Allen of PittstieId. had most
to do with planning the capture of
Fort Ticonderoga. The Berkshire
minister. three weeks before the battle
Of Lexington, and fresh from trip
through Vermont. had written to Sam
Adams and DIR. Warren lone thing
must mention as profound secret.
The fort at Ticonderoga must he seized
is soon as possible, should hOstilitieS
he committed by the Kings troops"
He went on to say that the people up
there had engaged" to do the job
and were the most proper persons to
undertake it.
At the celebration at TicOnderOga,
to- day, it will he well remembered that
Ethan Allen was there" The Green
Mountain state has already set up his
statute i'll the portico of the state house
at Montpelier, Il fine figure by Mead ::
also Il memorial column. and il statute
over his grave at RepabH-
can. ION.
