Something About the Patriotic Mother Of
"OId Hickory"
Very little does history tell us Of
Elizabeth, the mother of Andrew Jack
son, yet the little we know shows heI
worthy of a place by the side of Mary,
mother of Washington. When Andrew
was only five days old his father died,
at their home in North Carolina. A
month later Mrs. Jackson, with her
three boys, removed to South Carolina,
about twenty miles north to where Lam
caster Court House was afterward built.
Here Andrews young days were spent.
Mrs. jackson was poor in this worlds
goods, and was obliged to toll early
and late to provide for her family.
The two older boys helped all
they could, and obtained
scanty education at the district
school. Elizabeth jackson was deter
mined that one of her children should
be consecrated to the ministry, and An
drew was chosen for that calling. He
was placed in the Waxham Academy,
and was making excellent progress in
his studies when the first mutterings of
the revolution were heard. Andrew
was only twelve years of age when the
royal troops, meeting with defeat at the
North, marched upon the more thinly-
populated South, and his older brother
joined the ranks and marched to battle.
When the intelligence came, soon after,
of the death of his brother, from sun
stroke, and Andrew saw his mother
overcome with grief, he resolved at once
to give up all thoughts of the ministry
and devote himself to the service of his
country.
Shortly after this, when Andrew was
but a little more than thirteen years of
age, he, in company with his brother
Robert, enlisted, and were very soon
engaged in battle. Their side hav-
ing met defeat, the two lads were
made prisoners, and received the
most brutal and degrading treatment
The officer in command drew sword
upon them both for refusing to per-
form some mcnial service, and Robert
received wound from which he never
fully recovered.
Their mother, with her usual prompt
ness and resolution, travelled to them.
and after much intercession succeeded
in obtaining their exchange But in
the prison, where they had been con-
fined with two hundred and fifty others,
the smallpox had broken out and both
sons had contracted the disease. Moth
ing could be done but to get them home.
In company with five released neigh
bors, Elizabeth jackson and her sons
began their march of forty miles. But
two horses could be procured, one of
which Mrs jackson rode, without saddle
or bride; and on the other Robert was
supported, for he was too sick and weak
to sit alone Andrew walked the entire
distance barefooted, though broken out
with smallpox. A short time before
reaching their home heavy rain set
In, drenching them to the skin. The
eruption disappeared from the skin of
the boys and entered their systems.
Robert lived but two days, and for many
weeks the life of Andrew was despaired
of. As soon as Andrew had recovered.
. cry for help came from their old
friends and neighbors, who Were sick

No one would suppose that in such a
cold country as Siberia mosquitoes
would be q nuisance; but during the
snort summer the temperature rises, and
with the warm season tho mosquitoes
come also, and are q plague worse to
endure than the cold. The correspon-
dent of the Russky Vedomosty, Mos
COW, who has been eXiled to Siberia,
writes: II never would have believed
that the insects could appear in such
swarms. They literally obscured the
light, filing the air with an incessant
noise, covering our horses as with a
black mantle, and their tanks were
soon bleeding all over. Maddened with
pain, the horses kicked and, reared, but
seeing that all was unavailing, they
dropped their heads and submitted to
the inevitable. In vain we tried to pro-
tect ourselves with walls, travelling, not
withstanding the hot weather, in win
ter gloves and overcoats. The MOSQUE
toes penetrated through the sleeves and
understhe skirts, singing the breast and
the body, which ached as II burned with
fire. The more We struggled to get rid

How They Quickly Pick Up American

Whatever may be said OF the evils of
immigration, it is fact that many inn
migrants who come from foreign shores
to this country to liye.- pick up the
ideas, lang iage and methods of doing
business in the United States with
great rapidity. Anexampie of this is
furnished by the itinerant vendors of
flowers, bananas, dates, suspenders and
other articles, who are especia lily
numerous around the City Hall Park
and the entrance to the bridge. They
are forbidden by law to occupy one
place for any length of time, and the
approach Of a policeman always means
a general moving among the vendors,
most Of whom are Italians and Greeks,
who have not been in this country long.
When one of the crowd sees blue
coated officer hurrying toward him with
mischief in his eye, instead of warning
his comrades in his native tongue to de-
camp, he calls out "Cheese 'umv' This
is as near as he can get to the express
sion Cheese it," which he has picked
up from the street arabs.
People who do business with newly
arrived immigrants also notice how
quickly they begin to become American.
