of that, step below, is the site of the
old Valley Forge, built in 1857, and
probably the Oldest rollingmill in the
United States. A few hundred yards
southeast, extending in zigzag line
approximately north and south for
quarter of mile, are the remains OF
the old intrenchments and breast.
works, still easily distinguishable by
the irregular and scattered heaps OF
stones and the uneven elevations of
the greensward. On the right of
these remains are the foundations,
stones, and decayed timbers of Fort
Washington, which served as the east
ern bulwark of the camp, while south
west of this, quarter of mile fur
ther, is the headquarters of General
Knox and the officers of his command.
A short distance below, on the other
side of the valley creek, is the site of
Lafayette's headquarters. The rail-
road station near Washingtons stone
house, which was then owned by
Isaac Potts, is four miles east OF
Phnnixville, thirty-fve miles from
Philadelphia.
Residents in the neighborhood still
point out to visitors the place under an
old oak tree on the left bank of Valley
Creek where Washington was discov-
cred by Isaac Potts on his knees in
prayer, beseeching the Almighty for
guidance and victory for the army in
trusted to his command.
And on this spot brewery is to be
erected. the odor of the hops and malt
to foul the ground made sacred by the
suffering of the noblest band of pa.
triots the world has ever known; where
George Washington's tears flowed for
his bleeding country and the cause he
loved and fought for!
The Potts residence, adjoining Wash
ington's headquarters, was recently
purchased by the Patriotic Order, Sons
of America, and it has been converted
into national museum. The old
mansion was restored to its original
| style of architecture, and some of the
old furniture of the Washington resi-
dence at Mount Vernon placed within
| it. The museum also contains small
arsenal of armorial relics of the Revo
lutionary war. The village of Valley
Forge covered the site of the artifcers
headquarters and gunshops.
Congress will be memorialized by the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
of Philadelphia to preserve the historic
grounds and heirlooms, and that asso
citation is taking active steps to interest
members in the purchase and preserva
ton of the ground from the hands OF
the land-grabber and boomer, and, to
Judge from the active interest taken in
the matter the indications are that nc
brewery will watt the odor of hops ovel
the famous ground stained with the
blood of the nations martyrs.

Altogether she looked so very Tempt

"All right" cried John. Scream.
Let them come! Let all the world
come! L love you and don't care who

He had her fairly on his knee now
and was pressing her to his heart and
smothering her with kisses, and at in
tervals roaring, "Ilove you'll" at the top
of his voice.
Minnie submitted silently to the tor
rent of his passion for time, but as he
grew louder and more demonstrative
she gasped between kisses:

"Do you suppose carry an umbrella

"No."

"Of COURSE"

THEIR PLEDGE.
By EBEE z. RExFoRD.

YESTERDAY heard what pleased me as walked
the busy street,
Where the tide of life flowed past me- as two
comrades CHANGED to meet
/ had often paused to watch them as they
passed me day by day.
For their pleasant faces won me, as they came
and went their way.
They are manly little fellows" often to myself
said.
And hoped their feet would follow where the
best and bravest tread.
They had paused upon the pavement where
Turing light was cast
From a gayiy painted window DER the people as
they passed
Often strains of merry music hoated out upon
the air.
Like the voice of sirens drawing men to sorrow
and despair.
Men were coming, men were going ever through
Drifting on the tide of ruin to the rocks that
line Hfe's shore.
20, God, grant these boys steer safely past the
shore where danger is
Let the wrecks of manhood warn them; save
them from fate like his
Prayed l, as the door was opened and young
man staggered out, -,
And his ribaid, drunken laughter woke the
echoes all about,
All the traoes OF his manhood drink had driven
Leaving there the bitter story Of his ruin ami
disgrace.
He went reeling from the doorway where they

Come, let's have @ temperance order, though 1t

Il will PROMISE said the other; then they
clasped each others hand
In that warm fraternal friendship which all true
hearts understand;
Clasped each others hand and promised they
would shun the tempting bowl
That would lead them down to ruin OF the body
and the soul
Can you guess what Joy it gave me to be witness
Of their vow?
/ was proud of them before It; was prouder OF
them now;
o, my boys, be wise, be careful; turn away when
tempted sore,
Dash aside the cup that's offered, say you'll

tation's hour be brave,
Thinking that the way leads downward and its
ends a drunkards grave.

which Washington drew his morning

Near the spring is the spot where the
headquarters of the greatest Ameri-

well-informed American schoolboy

the gloomiest and saddest period of the
war for independence. There it was

severity and heroism of their suffer

The site of the camp is but few
yards south of the Schuylkill River
and commands an extensive view of
the lovely scenery along the course of
that stream. The old stone mansion
occupied by Washington and his per-
sonal staff fronts the station of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad,
and southward quarter of q mile is
the spot where Washington's original
headquarters stood, the building now

A GIRLS PRESENCE of Mind

A whole village was thrown into ex-
element not long ago by an ignorant,
uncontrolled young mother, who ran
screaming into the street, "Jack is
bleeding to death! Run for the doctor,
quickl"
The father walked the floor in a
panic of terror; the children cried |;
the neighbors fiocked in; the mother
went into Mysteries; and little Jack
was fainting from loss of blood. The
"blood spurts" showed that an artery
had been severed. His father was
trying to plaster up the wound in his
arm, when young girl of sixteen,
from the high school, came rushing
in. She snatched pillow case off
the bed, cut it into strips, and bound
them tightly above and below the
wound.
The doctor came soon, and simply
said: my dear, you have saved the
boys life. Your knowledge of physi
ology was as good as mine, in this case I"

Flower Gardens.

A great many persons when they
plant flower garden, desire such
flowers as will give the greatest show
with the least trouble. Again, many
can afford but few kinds. Some peo-
pie take catalogues and look them over,
getting completely bewildered before
they get through. Everything there
shown is described as being desirable
and gorgeous, and they cannot deter
mine really what to get and what not
to get. This is the experience Of every
one when they commence growing flow
ers, but they will soon learn what kinds
succeed best in common garden, and
are most satisfactory. We will sup
pose the reader has had some little ex-
perience; in such cases about dozen
varieties will be selected. First in the
list will be the petunias, those old but
ever new beautiful flowers. These are de-
sirable; they begin to bloom when very
small, and continue to bloom until frost
kills them, thus giving constant sue
cession of flowers AS the plant grows
the blooms increase in number, and q
oommon-sized plant will cover space
three feet square, often showing two
hundred blossoms at once. They are
of all shades of radiant purple, and
when mixed with white have a dazzling
effect Next comes the modest-beauti-
full by virtue of modesty-flox. This
begins to bloom early, and, like
petunias. has large clusters of flowers,
increasing in number as the plant
grows. From the time they commence
to bloom until killed by the frost they
are never without flowers. Nothing in
the floral family can give greater va
riety of colors, or present more daz-
zling effect, than fox, red, white, blue,
purple, scarlet, pink, striped, and dot
ted. Then come the asters. These
do not bloom until late in the season,
but amply repay one for waiting. They
are beautiful flower-ano her old
time friend Of the lovers of the beauti-
full, and sport almost Us great variety
of colors as the fox. Next get some
scarlet Chinese pinks, for they give va
riety. They are hardy, constant bloom
ers, and of all conceivable shades of
red and scarlet, striped and spotted
with brown and white. Then one can
make selection from the pansies, ver-
benas, stock snap-dragons, balsams,
zamias, morning glories and nastur-
tiums for climbers and festoons about
the cornices AID porches. These are
all constant a d pc ofuse hoomers, and
will give all colors and shaoes. i he
pansies, stock, and petunias are very
fragrant, and will give tall and upright
as w'll as low and training plants.
Make your home beautiful; bring to it
flowers.
