vashingson's headquarters at Norris
town.

| Articles of interest, many of them of
ante-revolutionary date, are being con-
stantly added to the collection at Wash
| ington's Headquarters. Among those in
the Armory on the second floor are two
bronze guns four-pounders) surrendered
by Burgoyne, several Hessian muskets
captured at the battle of Trenton in 1776,
musket presented TO the Continental
| Congress by Lafayette, and the works of
the first town clock of Morristown, 1870;
and in glass cases in the same room is a
piece of marble from the monument of
Washington's mother, piece of Wash
ington's coffin, dried lemon that grew on
a tree planted by him, a branch of the
famous Charter oak of Hartford, Conn.
an English half penny, date 1923; piece
of bridge that spanned the river lat
Concord, Mass on which the first battle
of the Revolutionary war was fought, and
articles of equal interest, both in this and
the other rooms of the beautiful old man-.
sion.
| Mr. Thomas Bushnell, of Morristown,
has Just presented the Association with
very valuable water color painting. about
SO by 80 inches, by II. A. Ogden, of New
York. The subject is "Washington's
| Abide Camp" and represents MOUNTED
officer in full Continental uniform. The
artist is famous for his representations on
| subjects of this character.
| Rear-Admiral George Fl. Cooper kindly
contributes letter dated in 1850 and
written by his grandfather, who afterward
| took part in the battle of Bunker Hill aud
many other of the bloodiest bottles of the
Revolutionary war, in which he ranked as
Major.
| One of the most interesting documents
| In the large collection is one which just
came to hand. 1t is a lieutenants coE-
mission in the s'train band," signed in
| May, l776. by Jonathan Trumbull, Cow
ernor of ''lhc English Colony of New
England, of America" The train band''
was composed of troops loyal to the Crown,
and this signature must have been one of
the last loyal acts of the sturdy old Gov
crnor; who, only few weeks after, came
out for the patriot cause aud rendered
able assistance.
The kitchen, which has been fitted up
| and opened to the public within a short
time, adds greatly to the attractions of the
place. No one, whether resident of or
visitor in Morristown, should fail to visit
this delightful and historic spot. We
| think that no headquarters in the country
is more wisely or ably managed than ours,
and a zeal and energy is being continually
shown which bears abundant Jersey

man, while he heard the well-remembered
voice CT Neg White exc claiming, exult-

One bound brought Philip to Edna's
| side; one blow sent the ruffian who held
her sprawling TO the ground, while his
arms received the fainting girl, and his
loud call summoned to his aid the serv-
ants of his establishment.
Before these, however, could realize the
situation, the woman and her companion
were beyond their reach, having rushed TO
| the waiting wagon, and all they now
heard was tie curses that filed the air, as
they applied the whip to their horses as
they dashed away.
Poor Edna was soon relieved of the
cruel gag, and as Philip gathered her into
his arms and carried her to the house, he
whispered:
"Oh, my darling, my darling Thank
God you are safer
| Edna soon revived from her faintness,
and after all had become calm, Mrs. Wal

The History Of the Chestnut.

The word "chestnu." will surely have
to 90 into the next edition of the I'M
abridged dictionary. The history of this
bit of slang has been queer one. Its
origin viii never be definitely known,
although dozen stories of il have been
told. Three years ago the word was in
common use among printers in Boston,
in its slang sense, and from the composing
rooms it came down to the editorial floors.
After good deal of use inside the vari-
GUS newspaper offices it naturally got into
print. The great army of newspaper
readers captured it, and within year it
was in general use. For two years past it
has been everywhere common throughout
the country. Then some genius had a
bright idea, and evolved the chestnut bell.
1t made its first appearance in Baltimor G
or Pittsburgh about July /, and it took il
over two months to get TO Boston, and
about the same time to get to Chicago and
the West, II Somervllle Journal.

17.h and 18th Century Earthquakes.

The year 1888 (the same year that Har-
ward College was founded) was memora-
Bile for very great earthquake through
out New England. There was also another
severe earthquake nearly a hundred years
later, in 1877, and in November, 1866,
another great earthquake occurred. the
most fearful one ever before or since
known in New England. Boston was
dreadfulIy shaken. 1t began about 4
O'Clock in the morning and continued
nearly four aud one half minutes. Great
damage was done to the buildings. About
100 chimneys were leveled with the roofs
Of the houses, and about 900 shattered
and thrown down in part The ends of
fifteen brick buildings were thrown down
as far as the caves, many clocks stopped,
some old springs ceased to flow and new
ones broke cut. The. tottering of build
ings was extremely frightfui. 1t WAS a
terrible night; the most SO, perhaps, that
New England ever saw.

My dear sir" the lawyer said not
catching the drift of the comment, 'swhat

unless he comes into court, or at least
giving him the chance to come"
All this while the legal folios were rua-

''You may think this very funny" the
client said, angrily, as he arose, Just in

Not until then was the situation clear TO

Eagerly Philip listened for the reply,
but sudden spring of the horses took
them beyond his hearing, and he listened
in vain.
Not until the shadows of evening gath
cred around did Philip return to his home,
aud then it was but to shut himself into
his library, where the sad strains he evoked
from his organ told of the misery within
his breast.
The next evening Philip stood before
his library window, with clouded brow
and folded arms, when he saw Edna slowly
pass along from the house, turning her
steps toward pretty arbor, covered with
creeping vines and fragrant flowers.
1t was a spot she loved, where they had
often sat together. and now he believed
that Harris was to meet her there, while
he suffered alone.
But, to his surprise, he heard wagon
stop at the end of The grounds, and a
while later he observed two figures steal
