this does not lie simply in the startling

a great deal.
The struggles OF the people of Switzer-
land against the rHpacious lords at home
and invaders aud despoilers from abroad
have made them celebrated among the
freemeu Of the earth. Il was ia a conflict
with tynnnical Austrlaus that a handful
Of patriots went out to do battle, and one
Of their number 10 achieve undying fame
and purchase liberty. For IA generation
ther had existed u confederation OF eight
cantOns for the purpose Of defense. They
had enemies at their doors in the persons
OF powerful lords and their robber re-
tainers, and the rulers Of Austria let pass
no opportunity to iniure them in r~etalia-
ton for damages done in past wars. One
day a few villagers who were oppressed by
an increase OF taxes proposed to their
neiRhbors OF the city Of Luzerne a league
of rights, and the lord whose gains were
thus menaced put the leaders of the move
ment to death.
This cruelty was a spark that set the
whole confederation on fire. A diet WAS
held. war was declared on the lords In gem
eral, and the latter rested their cause with
Duke Leopold. OF Austria The duke
marched upon Luzsrne Mt the head Of two
columns-one OF infantry and one OF mount
ed knights. The latter numbered 1000.
The eonfederates had a camp ut Adelwyl,
near Sempach, on the road to Luzerne. and
mustered Loo men. They were led by
Petermann, Of GundOlfingen. When Leo
pOld's knights saw the contemplate force
that barred the road to Luzerne, the city
they had set out especially to punish, they
demanded to be led on alone without wait
ing for the infantry'tO reach the field, The
duke yielded to the demand, and dis
mounted the force because the Swiss posi-

The column was formed in a
square, having sides four ranks deep, the

The Swiss leader. after the customary
prayer, said TO his followers, "If any one is
present who feels himself unable to cope
with four of the enemy let him retire.
Two hundred men belonging to the region
which had originated the trouble marched
out, and there were / 200 remaining. These
formed in the shape OF wedge, Gundolhn-

each side Of him. The next rank had five
soldiers, and the third seven, and so on.
When Duke Leopold's knights saw the
curious formation OF their own column,
and learned that their eader proposed that

up a derisive shout. The duke exclaimed,

The ground on which the battle took
place was held to unwilling allegiance by
the Austriaus.

TRUTH AT A HIGH PREMIUM.

Eddie Almost Burned Down His Fathers
House, but He Didn't Tell n Lie.
Little Eddie is a Brooklyn toddler.
His great ambition is to be a man and
wear a mustache. But he likes to play
with matches. OF course his mother
has often forbidden him to touch them,
but he has often disobeyed her.
Until the other day, however, he had
done no mischief. Then he learned a
lesson that will probably linger in his
memory as1ong as he lives. His mother
had left the house to do some shopping
and Eddie and his brother Ciifhe were
alone.
Scarcely had the mother closed the
door behind her then Eddie proposed
to start a bonfire in the back yard.
This proposition was warmly seconded
by Clitle, and they soon gathered a
heap of fuel.
As a high wind was blowing they
thoughtfully placed these inilammable
materials in a corner formed by a high
board fence, a two story frame extern
sion of the house. In a few minutes
the pile was lighted and the children
were dancing around the blaze in high
glee.
The fun was short lived. Soon the
woodwork of the extension was ignited.
AT first it burned slowly, but none the
less surely. The boys became fright
ened and ran for water; but while they
were absent the flames entered a crack
in the building, and when they return
ed they found n fire of large dimen-
sions.
Realizing that he could do nothing
Eddie ran upstairs to an upper room,
where his father was writing. He cool
ly remarked, Papa, l believe the house
is on fire." Papa quickly found that
the child's diagnosis of the case was
correct.
1t required but little time to send out
an alarm, and the flremen were soon at
work on the burning structure with
axes, hose and water. The fire wa ex-
tinguished, but the building and most
of its contents were wrecked.
One room in the extension had been
made a store house for toys and other
playthings, but these papa rescued from
the flames at the risk of his life. But
it was a serious battle in clouds of
binding, suffocating smoke.
After it was all over there was an in
v~estigation. Little Eddie was the first
witness.
How did the house get on fire, Ed
diep asked papa.
"Why, papa" he said as his big,
dark eyes filled with tears, Il is sorry,
but 1 did it with my bonfire"
For a moment papa wished he owned
n horsewhip, but owe and admiration
for his truthful little man prevailed,
and with a half stifed sob of joy he
caught Eddie in his arms and Kissed
him.
yes" said papa afterward in tell
ing the story; II suppose you will say

cal, but the fact is, sir, l didn't have
the heart. No amount of money could

All Switzerland is in the field,
She will not fly, she cannot yield
She must not fall; her better fate

There sounds not to the trump OF fame
The echo Of a nobler name.
Unmarked he stood among the throng.

The very thought come DER his face;
And, by the motion OF his form,
Anticipate the bursting storm;
And, by the uplifting OF his brow,
Tell where the bolt would strike, and how.
But twas no sooner thought than done,
The neld was in a moment won.
Make way for libertyr' he cried,
Then ran, his arms extended wide,
As If his dearest friend to clasp;
Ten spears he swept within his grasp.
MAKE way Tor liberty! he cried.
Their keen points met from side to side.
He bowed among them like a tree,
And thus made way for liberty.
Swift to the breach his comrades ay.
Make way for liberty they cry,
And through the Austrian phalanx dart,
As rushed the spears through ArnolI's heart;
While, instantaneous as his fan,
lout ruin, panic, scattered all;
An earthquake could not overthrow
A city with n surer blow.
Thus Switzerland again was free,
Thus death made way for liberty.
