Ethan Aliens Sword.

The sword which Ethan Allen car
ried when he demanded the surrender
of Fort Ticonderoga in the name of
the great Jehovah and the Cont
mental Congress, is by gift and inheri-
tance, the personal property of H.
Allen Hopkins, a resident ofJackson,
Mich. The sword is an old-fashioned
blade, nicked and venerable, 27 inch
es long and slightly curved. The
handle measures seven inches, max
ing the total length of the weapon
81 inches. The handle is of bone and
horn. The mounting is of silver
washed with gold, and the latter be-
ing partially worn off. A dogs head
of silver forms the end of the handle,
and from this to the guard runs a
silver chain. On one of the silver
bands of the scabbard the name
g Ethan Allen +" is engraved i'm large
letters; on another band, g T., Brasil
er, maker, New York and on still
another, in script, "Martin Vosburg,
1775." Why this name appears no
one knows. Upon the death of Ethan
Allen the sword became the property
of his son, Capt. Hannibal NJ. Allen,
who died at Fort Nelson, Virginia, in
1913, and the sword was retained by
his widow. Agnes b. Allen. After the
death of her husband, Mrs Allen
made her home with Hannibal Hop
kins, her favorite nephew and heir,
until her death in 1868. The sword
of Ethan Allen then became the prop
erty of Hannibal NJ. Allen. He died
in 1871 and left it to his widow. On
her death it became the property of
her son, H. Allen Hopkins, and is now
in his possession.
There appears to be no reason to
doubt that with this sword Col Ethan
Allen backed up his demand for the
surrender of the fortress of Ticonder-
oga. May 10, 1775. In "Memori
of Col. Ethan Allen, Containing the
Most Interesting incidents ofhis Pub
lie Career, F. p. Allen, Pr. Platts-

stated but two or three copies are in
existence-are found Ethan Aliens

Joseph Jefferson is responsible foI
the latest explanation of the word
Chestnut" He attributes the intro
duction of the word in it's slang sense
to the late William Warren, the vete
ran comedian of Boston.
'There is a melodrama," Mr.. Jeffer
son said to a Press reporter, "but
little known to the present genera.
ton, written by William Dillon, and
called 1.-The Broken Sword" There
were two characters in it--one a Cap
tain Zavier and the other the comedy
part of Pablo. The captain is a sort
of Baron Munchausen, and in telling
of his exploits says: II entered the
woods of Collaway, when suddenly
from the thick boughs of cork tree
-" Pablo interrupts him with the
words, "a chustnut, captain; chest
nut" "Bahl" replies the captain,
"Booby, l say cork tree" "A
chestnut reiterates Pablo. 4 should
know as well as you, having heard
you tell the tale these twenty-seven
times" William Warren, who had
often played the part of Pablo, was
at stag" dinner two years ago,
when one of the gentlemen present
told a story of doubtful age and orig
inality. "a chestnut" murmured
Mr.. Warren, quoting from the play,
II have heard you tell the tale these
twenty-seven times" The applica-
ton of these lines pleased the rest OF
the table and when the party broke
up each helped to spread the story
and Mr.. Warren's commentary. And
that" concluded Mr.. Jefferson, sis
what really believe to be the origin
of the word chestnut. "-Philadel.

on the uplands. AS he noticed this q
wave of pity crossed his leart, al
thought of the terrible anxiety his
father and mother had all that night
been enduring. Then in an instant
there seemed to unroll before him the
long slow years of the desola tion OF
that home without Jamie.
All this time he was moving along
the soakingroad, scanning the marsh
in every direction When he had COW
cred about half the distance. he was
aware of his father fastening with
feeble eagerness to meet him.
The night of watching had made the
old man haggard. but his face lit up
at sight of his son As he drew near,
however, and saw no sign of Jamie,
and marked the look upon the Cap
tain's face, the gladness died out as
quickly as it had come. When the
two men met, the elder put out his
hand in silence and the younger man
clasped it. There was no room Tor
words. Side by side the two walked
hOmeward. With restless eyes, ever
dreading lest they should find that
which they sought, the father and son
looked everywhere-except in a GER
tain old fish-tub which they passed.
The tub stood a little to one side of
the road. Just at this time a spar
row lit on the tubs edge, and uttered
a loud and startled chirp at sight of
the sleeping child. As the bird few
offprecipitateIy Jamie opened his eyes
and gazed up in astonishment at the
blue sky over his head. He stretched
out his hand and felt the rough sides
of the tub. Then, in complete be-
wilderment, he clambered to his feet.
Why, there was his father, walking
away somewhere without himl And
tol Jamie felt aggriev-
ed.
"Papl" he cried in a loud but fear
full voice, "where you goin' to?"
A great wave of light seemed to
break across the landscape, as the
two men turned and saw the little
golden head shining, dishevelled over
the edge of the tub. The Captain
caught his breath with a sort of a
sob, and rushed to snatch the little
one in his arms; while the grandfath-
er fell on his knees in the road, and |
his trembling lips moved silently

School Blunders.

the word "chasm." A little girl
looked in the dictionary, and not be

this sentence: "When | am sleepy

IARM FOR SlLE !

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, | have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav.
ing neither time nor ability to car
ry it on properly, l will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commendation
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as floor. 1t was
in fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morrlstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc,
all of which are within a to II
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold a few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or 2I5 acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it
Terms for payment will be made
