BENEDICT ARNoLD's NIECE.
The Romantic Story of Relative of the
Revolutionary Traitor.

Philadelphia Times,
In a humble dwelling in that part of Lock
haven known as The DEVILS Half Acre -
lives a niece of Benedict Arnold, Mrs. Ann
Roam, widow, aged between eighty and
ninety years The story of her life is ro-
mantle Although living by charity, she is
of noble birth. Her paternal grandfather
was French nobleman, to whom was given
the city of Florence for his coat of arms.
Her father, Major De Haas, is mentioned in
history several times for his daring exploits
Major De Haas m..4led MISS Shipper, of
Philadelphia. His wife's sister was the wife
of Benedict Arnold While stationed in
Philadelphia, as commandant, Arnold fell in
love with Miss Shipper, who was
lady of aristocratc antece-
dents and Tory predictions. Mrs.
De Haas died when her daughter Mrs.
Roam, was very young. After her death
Major De Haas abandoned the gayety of city
county, then almost a perfect wilderness.
He travelled in magnificent coach, heavily
draped in mourning, and drawn by richly
caparisoned horses. The appearance of the
Majors coach always created a stir, because
of the splendor of its magnifcence and the
number OF his servants. He was wealthy
and purchased much land between this city
and Beech Creek, small town northwest of
here. Among the last of his possessions
were the farms now or recently owned BY
the heirs of Messrs. Hollenback, Herring and
Whitefeld, all located in the district men
toned.
Mrs. Roam was the youngest daughter and
to her was given the surname of her mother
Sine married Joshua Roam, blacksmith, who
had Incorporate habits.
After her marriage she either drifted away
from or was disowned by her father, who
died without leaving her any of his wealth.
For many years she lived at Mil Hail. a
small village four miles from Lockhaven
At that place her husband fell upon knife
while drunk, and killed himself Mrs Roam
is the mother of three children, but they
seem to have little regard for her welfare
and for a long time she has lived upon the
charity of a kindly disposed family. She is
small in stature with face grooved by the
varied experiences of life begun in all the
luxuriant comforts of wealth and aristocra-
cY, and soon to end as a charitable charge
Her hair is thin and gray. Her sight seems
to be unimpaired. She is able to knit and
do other kinds of work without the use OF
spectacles.
When your correspondent referred to her
wealthy and aristocratic parentage she ex-
claimed: "Ah, yes, sir; no one can deny
that my father owned thirteen plantations at
one time, and | could step from one to the
other without crossing any other land.
never saw my mother, and am not certain as
to my age"

the stable and they are kept pretty busy al
day taking excursion parties over tie hars
smooth road to the countless Tlrlure-qLe
spots that are found within the radius o: L
half-dav's drive
In 1912 a veteran mountaiHeer tells mc,
before the advent OF railroads, ON Ir" entire

more than 100000 year, The aggregate
figures now are probably nearly ten times

Now you might tramp the mountains for a
week without seeing any quadruped worth
burning a cartridge for. Even trout have
been banished from the waters, save in
few carefully guarded pools, where such in
veterate anglers as Josh Billings find rare
sport But the common crowd are shut out
from these. Art has done much to lompen-
safe for these losses, however as anyone who
has driven over the fine roads cantered
along the romantic bridle-paths will testify.

AS a woman, she has won universal respect

mingled in 1.-THE filthy pool of politics she
emerged without smirch on her garments;
and the most ardent opposer of woman in

THE NEWSPAPER IN SCHOOL.

The use of the newspaper as textbook"
in schools grows more common and finds ia
vor with all who have tried it, Enterpris-
ing teachers who regard their duties as some
thing more than the mere guidance of pupils
through the mazes of grammar and arth-
metic, find the newspaper valuable aid in
their efforts to give instruction a broader
scope. 1t is the universal testimony of
educators that children who are accustomed
to the reading of good papers at home and
to the subsequent discussion of current
events, are, as rule, more interested in
their school studies and OF quicker compre-
hension than others with different surround
ings. A child will better understand the
past history of his own and other countries
if he know something of what is transpiring
there to-day. Children are popularity sup
posed to imbbe this sort of information
from the air, and American hildren prob
ably do absorb the spirit of their own inst-
tutions earlier and more accurately than
elsewhere; but the fact remains that there is
a marvellous amount of ignorance even
among the graduates of high schools upon
topics of public interest. The knowledge
which goes to make them good citizens is
gathered afterward, and not having the foun-
dations we'll laid they are sometimes misled
