ing been recognized a few hours previ-
Gus by a tory refugee. He was taken
aboard a British man-of-war, and car
ried to Sir william Howe's ~headquar-
tiers in New York city. Here he was con-
demned to be executed at sunrise on the
following morning.
In what prison or guard house the
no~ble-souled young patriot spent that
last sad night of his life is not known;
but of h brutality with which he was
treated by the provost marshal into
whose hands he was given over, there
is abundant proof. His request for the
attendance of a clergyman was refused.
Even a Bible was denied him.
During the preparations for the exc
cution. an English officer obtained per-
mission to offer the prisoner the seclu-
sion of his tent, where writing materials
were furnished.
But the farewell letters he wrote to his
mother, to his sweetheart and to a
comrade in the army, We're torn to
shreds before his eyes by the cruel pro-
vost marshal.
1t vas early dawn on Sunday morn
ing. Sept. %, 1875, that our young hero
was hurried away from the tent of the
English officer to the gallows. The spot
selected was the orchard of Colonel
Henry Rutgers. on East Broadway, not
far above what is now Franklin square.
A crowd had gathered, many of whom
afterward bore witness to the noble

bearing of the young hero, and to the
barbarity with which he was treated
by the provost marshal. This official
said: The rebels shall never know they
have a man who can die with such
irmness."
As Hale was about to ascend the fatal
scaffold, he stood a moment looking up
on the detachment of British soldiers,
and the crowd standing about; and the
words that came from his loyal young
heart in thai supreme m will
never die: Il only regret that I have
but one life to lose for my country
1t is not known in what spot his body
vas laid, but the bones of the young
patriot crumbled to dust in the heart of
the great metropolis of the republic he
helped TO found.
So long as the love of country is
cherished, and devotion to the cause of
liberty is remembered, so long will the
name of Nathan Hale shine with pure
and ndimme luster.

MONUMENT OF HALE.

In the darkest hour of our country's
struggle for liberty, this self-devoted
hero-inspired with fervid patriotism
and eager to render service to his our
try-laid down his young life. a sacrifice
to the cause of American liberty.
The days n weeks that followed
that memorable Fourth of July in 1776
We're dark indeed for the struggling
colonists.
Determined to crush with one effort
h insurrection in her American col
onies, Great Britain sent that summer
a larger force than any which had be-
fore landed upon our shores.
You know the story of the disastrous
battle upon Long Island-whera the few
thousand ill-clothed, undisciplined pro-
vincial troops faced a ~splendidly
equipped army, many regiments of
which were veterans. The raw Ameri-
can troops, despite their courage and
heroism. were no match for the trained
and skilled soldiery of Great Britain;
and even General Washington, I'M
demonstrative and reserved as he was,
is said to have wrung his hands in
anguish pom seeing his troops defeated
and driven back, he being powerless to
aid them.
After the disastrous battle of Long
Island, Washington sorely needed infor-
nation of the strength and probable
movements Of the powerful enemy. He
deemed it necessary that some skilled
soldier should go as a spy, within the
British lines, and procure for hiln the
knowledge so much desired, that he
might be warned in ample time"
Captain Nathan Hale, a brilliant
young officer belonging to "Knowlton's
Rangers" calmly decided it was his
duty to undertake the enterprise upon
which the fate of the detected little
army seemed to depend. His friends

looked off at the blue hills. a thought

Gus white eyes, and he added: Blu 1

The upshot of the matter was that
the private soon came to the chairman
and said.

h chairman caught the reflection of
a mysterious light in the others ex-
panse of eye as he rolled it away along
the low tops of the Sleepy Hills. But
he thought nothing of 1t, and hurried off
to consult old Mad Wolf, chief of the
Indians. Mad VOL had a leading part
in the Minnesota massacre in 1852, and
was reputed still to have the scalps he
took then hidden away, some of them
covered with long fine hair-woman's
Eair-or shorter, but still soft and silky
-children's hair-babies' hair. But he
had long since aid by the scalping-
knife. and drew without complaint the
neat but not gaudy rations dealt out by
a paternal government. He was sitting

chairman, who duly set forth the sham
battle idea. He was careful to eIuci-
date the sham point Of the proposed af-
fair, so as not to raise any hopes not
justified by the facts in the bosom OF
the ancient warrior. But the Indian
seemed to understand only too clearly.
He snorted a cloud Of cigarette smoke
from his nostrils, grunted in a strong
negative tone. and said,
\ want to play with Niggers."
Then the chairman launched forth his
most persuasive e~loquence, using all the
arguments which had availed with
Private Yancy. and such others as he
conceived would appeal to a more saw
age breast. He had at first proposed
that the Indians fight with bows and
arrows. to give the affair an early day
tone, but thinking that the idea of guns
might move the chief more easily. now
told hin hat they might use their re-
peating rifles. the citizens to furnish
them the same number of blank car
tridges that they did the negroes. The
chairman paused, The chief grunted
less negatively, and looked at the hori-
zon. The chairman clutehod at his APP
parent advantage.

his arms o as if attempting to pic

exclaimed Chairman Hutchens. recog-
nizing that the evolution OF the idea
could go no further. "Itn make Rome

tion in the territory" Chairman

Chairman Hutchens was extremely
friendly with Colonel Poinsette. com
mandant at Fort De Smet. and no
sooner had he recovered from the first
flash of the hrilliancy of the mock
battle idea than he hurried away to
consult this officer. Colonel Poinset.e
hesitated about allowing his men 10

1t was decided by the patriotic citizens
Of Harney's that there must be a cele-
bration. In casting about for attrac-
tons h chairman of the duly APP

idea OF a sham battle in the Sleepy

another member asked why not have

another member had an inspiration.
Why not, he said, get some of the troops

children the Importance of ~cultivating
a spirit of patriotism and owe of coun-
try. MANY youngsters burn powder for
years without having the remotest idea
of the true meaning of the annual cele-
bration. The day is to them one of un-
alleged delight, because it means a holt
day, a good time, plenty of noise, in
which the average child seems to revel,
and an abundance of good things to eat
and drink. But the sentiment of patriot
ism means a great deal more than this,
and there should be no opportunity lost
to impress this upon the mine of child
hood. 1t is Just as easy to associate
Fourth of July and fire crackers with
pure and unadulterated patriotism as
with picnics and lemonade. The decla-
ration of independence is by no means
beyond the comprehension of the aver
age child. and this. with patriotic music
in great variety, should be part of the

which made even that hardened savage
think that it was best to obey. Around a
loose blouse he wore the belt of blank
cartridges. with the wooden scalping

slid TO the ground. O astonished too

der it was another belt, bursting with
ball cartridges, big. thick, bottle-necked
Winchesters: and at the side was an
old Hudso Bay company scalping
knife, with deer horn handle. the long
blade newly ground and polished. Every
Indian was similarly provided. The
great sham battle Of the Sleepy HIS
was declared off.
