said member of the taft: "can you
give us something to eat?"
Il can't leave my churn," said the
practical housewife.
"I'll churn for you" said splendidly
uniformed officer.
Forthwith he was set to work, Mrs
Cole having taught him how to use the
dasher-
As she proceeded with her culinary
work, ever and anon she glanced at the
toiling officer. well, said she to his
brother officers, ''if he can't use the
sword better than the churn dasher, he
must be mighty poor soldier"
This sally raised hearty laugh, in
which the volunteer churner joined heart
lily. He kept on gallantly, the perspira-
ton streaming from every pore. 1t was
the hardest work he had ever done in
his life.
"Thats right" said Mrs. Cole, en-
couragingly; keep on long enough. and
youth fetch butter"
When the storm had ceased the mill
tAry gentlemen took their leave, first
Offering to pay for their entertainment.
"We don't keep tavern" said Mrs. Cole,
with the short and decisive snap OF the
independent farmers wife, and the
officers rode away.
keep on long enough and you'll fetch
butter" became household expression
in the British army, and was taken to
the other side of the water, where it was
uttered many time to encourage those
who were striving to accomplish results
under difficnltiea Short time after the
occurrence at the farmhouse, Mrs. Cole
received parcel from New York. It
contained a splendid black silk dress
and letter of thanks and compliments
from Gen. Sir William Howe. 1t was
he who had done the churning. The
dress is heirloom in the Cole family,
and the letter is preserved as one OF the
few pleasant "reminiscences OF . war in
which the weaker party carried out to
successful issue the suggestion made by
the farmers wife, keep on long enough
and you'll fetch butter"

The Anti-MonoPolist.


Queen Victoria Il special invitation to
the Centennial MIR Dana seems to re-
gard the entire celebration n, failure
since British royalty refuses t Id pres
ent. No doubt he is animated by laud-
able desire to usher in the millenial
reign of peace and goodwill, but his
labor is thrown away. Or course, the
democratic masses in England wish we'll
to the UnitedlStates; but this democratic
element itself is regarded at home as
resilient nuisance by the governing
aristocracy, and so long as the latter
rule. 40 long will England deep down
in her heart hate the Western republic.
Her emissaries may come to us with
honeyed words on their lips, but conceal
ed in their sleeves will be the dagger of
the assassin. British statesmen never
regret ANYTHING SO much as that they
failed to disrupt the Union-a fact which
Earl Russell admits in his "reminiscences.
Abiding to the damage inflicted on Am.
erican commerce by the Alabama and
other privateers, which were fitted out
and equipped in English ports. he says
that in the whole matter she acted for the
benefit OF her own shipping. Herein we
find a KEY to the secret. England
knows that the United States is by nature
and circumstances, her commercial rival
and that we are driving her slowly but
surely out of the markets of the world.
Hence she hates us with passionate,
vet guarded, ferceness, and would glad
" aid tomorrow in Gripping us-if she
dared!
