RODNETS RIDE.

In that soft midland where the breezes
bear
The north and the south on the genial
air,
Through the county of Kent, on affairs of
state,
Rode Cesar Rodney, the deleg ate.
Burly and big, and bold and bluff,
In his three.cornered hat and his suit of
snuff,
A foe to King George and the English
state
Was Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
Into Dover village he rode apace,
And his kinsfolk knew, from his anxious
face,
twas matter grave that had brought
him there,
To the counties three upon Delaware
"Money and men we must have" he said.
"0r the Congress fails and our cause is
dead.
Give us both and the king shall not work
his will
We are MEN, since the blood of Bunker
Hin!"
Comes a rider swift on painting bay:
"Holo Rodney, no you must save the
day,
For the Congress halts at a deed so great,
And your vote alone may decide its
fate
Answered Rodney then /: 81 will ride
with speed;
1t is Liberty's stress it is freedoms need
When stands it?' "Tonight, Not a mo-
ment spare,
But ride like the wind, from Delaware.
"Io, saddle the black I've but half a
day,
And the Congress sits eighty miles
away
But III be in time, if God grants me
grace,
10 shake my fist in King Georges face"
He is up; he is off and the black horse
flies
On the northward road ere the "God
speedw dies.
1t is gal!op and spur, as the leagues they
clear,
And the clustering mile-stones move
a.rear.
1t is two of the clock and the fleet hoof
fling
The Fieldsboro' dust with glang ant
cling.
1t is three; and he gallops with slacl
rein where
The road winds down to the Delaware.
Four; and he spurs into Newcastle town
From his painting steed he gets hin
down
GA fresh one quick not moment

And off speeds Rodney the delegate.
1t is five; and the beams OF the wester
Tinge the spires of Wilmington, gold an
dun;
Six; and the dust of Chester street
Flies back in a cloud from his courser'
feet,
1t is seven; the horse-bo at, broad O
beam,
At the Schuylkill ferry crawls over tn
stream
And at SEVENTEEN by the Rittenhous
clock
He filings his reign TO the tavern Jock.
The Congress is met; the debates begun
And Liberty lags for the vote of one
When into the Hall, not a moment lat
Walks Caesar Rodney. the delegate.
Not moment late and that halliday
ride
Forwards the world with a might
stride
For the Act was passed, ere the mi
night stroke
O'er the Quaker City its echoes woke.
"At Tyranny's feet was the gauntl

And the sons of the free may recall wi

What is a Bandanna?

The term bandanna applies to the
figure and not to the goods, color,
size or quality of the handkerchief.
The bandanna figure is an arrange
ment of white blocks, about a quarter
Of an inch square, each with round
or square hole in the center upon a
background of solid color. The
blocks are grouped in diamonds,
squares, circles and other geometrical
figures, scattered over the handker-
chief in any fashion that pleases. A
border ofwhite lines, dots, bars, or
bands surrounds the whole. They
are made of either cotton or silk and
come chiefly in yellow, red and
chocolate colors, with occasionally a
lot of blue ones. In size the small
est are about two feet square, and
from that they run up to huge
spreads large enough for a child's
bed
T. l. N. c. is not cure-all, but a
quarter of a century of constant use

that Tanners Infallible Neuralgia

The exodus of our bodily troubles Is

eminently the Alternative which con-
