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 coun-
try-laid down his young life, a sacrifice
to the cause Of American liberty.
The days and weeks that followed
that memorable Fourth of July in 1776
were dark indeed for the struggling
colonists.
Determined to crush with one effort
the instruction 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-where 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, un-
demonstrative and reserved as he was.
Is said to have wrung his hands in
anguish upon 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 1t necessary that some skilled
soldier should 60, as spy, within the
British lines. and procure for him 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

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
noble-souled young patriot spent that
last sad night Of his life Is not known:
but Of the 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. were torn to
shreds before his eyes by the cruel pro-
voSt marshal.
It was early dawn on Sunday morn
ing. Sept. %. 1776, 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

barbarity with which he was treated
by the provost marshal. This official
said: The rebels shall never know they

firmness."
AS Hale was about to ascend the fatal
scaffold, he stood 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 that supreme moment will
never die: II only regret that I have
but one life to lose for my country"
1t is not known in what spot his body
was 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 undimmed luSter.

children the Importance Of cultivating
spirit Of patriotism and love 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 I'M
alloyed delight, because 1t means holi-
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 great deal more than this,
and there should be no opportunity lost
to ifnpreyS this upon the mind 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
program for children as we'll as adults.
Much has been done during the last
Few years to impress school children
with respect for the flag and our Amer
lean institutions generally, ard the line

much more strongly emphasized by
proper observance Of day that COM
memorates the events of which the flag
Is the emblem. 1t is sometimes hard
work and good deal Of expense, espe-
cially In small and not well-to-do COM
