RIDE OF ACENTURY
The One Paul Revere Took in
Middlesex Valley. 4
REGULARS ARE COMING! TURN OUT!

The Cry That Woke Up the Patriots of 20
and Opened the War of the Revolution
The Historic Ride Re-Ri,lien Through
Greatly Changed Country Deception
at the End of the Trip-Lexinston Re-
fousht.
BoSToE, April .l.-"Turn ont, the regr-
lars are coming" Those omnous words
Were uttered by Paul Revere when he took
his wild ride on the night of April is, 11,5,
and they rang out on the low.ands of Mid
dlesex and caused a thrill TO run through
the heart of every person who heard them.
Again were those words heard in the val
leys of Middlesex. Mr.. Robert ". Sse,
who is a fymiiiar figure on horseback in
the mystic valley, and whose tail. hand
some figure makes n striking appearance
on his horse, was the modern Paul Revere
OF "Wednesday night. He was dressed in n

Wore on that memorable occasion. Three
coal black chargers bore him on the differ.
ent parts Of his way. The start was made
from the Medferd-Somerville line, near
the foot OF Winter hill, few minutes
after II. Every house in the vicinity was
decorated il az elaborate manner and both
sides OF the street were lined with people
to see the start. \ huge pile of barrels ut
the starting point was set ab!aze and was
the signal for ''paul's'' start.
As the flames shot up the horseman gal
loped oil amid the ye!!s of The onlookers.
1t was Gut an instant it seemed before the
old Royal house near Nedford square was
reached, and IS the bearer of the eveniful
tidings approached it his shrill voice
piped out the cry of the original Paul:
Turn ont, the regulars are coming" The
sharp rattle of nusketry, carrying with it
IA flash of fire was heard on all sides,
while fireworks and red lights served 10
make the scene more effective. At Cooper
tavern n grand reception was given by
the crack of musketry and the firing of
hrecrackers and the cheers OF the crowd
that had gathered there. At the foot of
Arlington heights Il halt was made by the
horseman of this latter-.iay event and
change Of horses WAS made. From here
TO Lexington Is only five miles, and the

Paul Revere dashed through the town.

ST. PYUL, April 2l-There are few local
developments in the Great Northern strike.
President Debs, of the American Rail
way union, received n telegram from Organ
izer Hogan from Butte, Mont. stating
that he would start from there with COM
mittce of the men to come TO st. Paul to
confer with officials of the road. Other
similar messages had been received from
other points, and Dehs is still confident
of the result of the strike. The railway
officials also had received may messages.
and showed a few from men along the line
saving that they regretted the strike.
When asked ii traffic must remain at n
standstill while the men decided whether
they desired to follow the brotherhoods or
the Union in the conference Hill replied:
IL think not. Today the United States
marshal, under the direction of the United
States attorney, went with posse to pre-
vent interference with the mails mt St.
Cloud. The government has undertaken
TO protect its interest, and If the action of
the United States is followed up it Will re-
suit in the immediate running of all mail
trains and "a general resumption of busi-
ness.
The company must ideal with its en-
ployes and not with labor organizations
which are fighting for supremacy. The
company is ready TO move its trains when
ever there is any law TO enable its men to
discharge their duties Minnesota and
North Dakota are not disfranchised states
without any law or power to enforce the
law. The company regrets that pnblic

GAVE HER THE DODGE.

Uncle Snort Gives a Short HOmily on
Woman's Rights.
Wife has for some time past been
holding the reins in one hand and the
whip in the other, and have been do
ing the prancing act, though | did not
Ego off in prance," for, as l said, she
has been holding the reins and the
whip, and every time kicked she
struck, and guess that is one reason
that am SO much opposed to strikes.
1t may be all right, for my pastor seems
to think that if my wife did not have a
good deal of grit, pluck, push and good
sense, l would soon be hanging on to
the ragged edge of poverty and gen.
eral o-accountedness. l don't believe
that there is any such word as
that, but that is the way they
have fixed it. But there is one
thing that am very sure of, and that is
that there are great many other men
in this country who, if their wives held
the reins in one hand and good quirt
whip in the other, they would soon be
wiser and better men. There would
not be so many weeds left in their corn
and cotton fields to go to seed, nor
along the fence rows and roadsides.
No, they would spend more time at
home and less time running to town on
every pretext, and thus spending so
much valuable time in worse than idle
ness Woman's rights! Yes, / am in
favor of woman's rights. Every woman
should have the right to see that her
husband stays at home, attends to his
own business and makes her good liv-
ing, and if he don't, she ought to have
the right to board him, and then just
keep right on boarding him till she
makes man of him.

Dust In Nature.

Without dust there would be no blue
armament; the heaven would be
blacker than we see it on moonless
nights. On this black background the
glowing sun would shine out sharply,
and the same sharp contrast of intense
light and deep shadow would charac-
terize the surface of the earth. There
would be nothing to subdue this sharp
contrast but the moon and the stars,
which would remain visible by day. 1t
is due entirely to the dust that we en-
Joy our SOFT uniformly-diffused day
light, for which our eyes are specially
adapted; and it is the dust which con-
tributes so much to the beauty of the
landscape.
Without dust, then, we would have
no fog, no clouds, no rain, no snow, no
brilliant-hued sunsets, no cerulean sky.
The surface of the earth itself, the
trees, the houses, along with man and
beast, would be the only objects on
which the vapor could condense, and
these would begin to drip whenever the
air was cooled sufficiently. In winter
everything would be covered with a
crust of ice. Our clothes would become
saturated with water condensing upon
them. Umbrellas would be of no avail.
The vapor-laden atmosphere, moreover
would penetrate to our rooms and con
dense upon the walls and furniture. In
short, the world we live in would be
quite another world if there were nc
dust. Scientific American.

LET TOBACCO GET RIPE.
Too Much Haste In Harvesting the Crop
Causes Waste of Substance.

Too Much Haste In Harvesting the Crop
Causes Waste of Substance.
Mr.. M. l. Barker, one of The most ex-
perienced tobacconist in the state,
says that a majority of our farmers
make great mistake by not letting
their tobacco get fully ripe before cut
ting it.
Il can not understand" said he,
''why farmers are in such haste to cut
their crops unless it is to avoid the
worms and suckers, which as you
know, are quite troublesome when the
plants are nearly ripe The dews late
in the season are the making of tobac-
co, both as to weight and worth. 1t is
then that tobacco gets its gum, the
COOL color and it's real character.
Tobacco has character like anything
else. If cut green, it becomes, when
the sap leaves it, thin, slazy, light, ir-
regular and undesirable in color, easy
to funk and of bad. character gen
orally.
Real ripe tobacco, on the other
hand has a substantial character, it is
bright red, or red and yellow, on both
sides, weighs well, has the keeping
quality, chews sweet and is always
sought after.
"Why, you hardly ever see well
ripe hogshead on the breaks, but when
you do you see all the buyers gather
ing around it; they are attracted by il
and often they themselves can hardly
tell why. The same thing is more
noticeable, though, in large manufac
tories. When nice, well-ripe hogs
head is opened up, the men gather
around it and are pleased with it-be
cause it is ripe.
I'm letting it get good and ripe il
may sometimes spot some, but I would
much rather have it with spots than t.
have it green.
"The fact is, people don't raise az
good tobacco nowadays as formerly
and it's because they don't let it gef
ripe. They needn't fear, for a real ripe
plant, even when late, will cure nicely
when an unripe plant would fail t.
cure"
What do you think of the growing
crop, Mr.. Barker?
1.-The general outlook is good, and il
this county the prospect is fine. Thu
crop has been well cultivated, too; lot
of it has been topped; it is green anC
spreading nicely. The farmers hav'
reason to feel encouraged. "-Carrolltoi
