hers to the drafts and Jewels found in

Children of America.

"The very children have caught the
air of liberty!" exclaimed General Gage
when the deputation Of Boston school

the Common being spoilt by the British
soldiers. Nor was this act solitary
manifestation of the spirit of freedom
displayed by the children of Revolu-
tionary times. The little daughter Of
Elias Boudinot. when twelve years Of
age, having cup of tea pressed Upon
her while visiting at Governor Frank
Inns, proclaimed her rebel principles
by raising the cup to her lips, and then
suddenly crossing the room and throw

In New Jersey the siXteen-year-oid
daughter of M. Wicke, called Tempe

the owner of fine horse, which one
day unfortunately attracted the atten-
ton of several soldiers while she was
out riding. She soon realized that the
men were in earnest in their intention
Of taking the horse from her.
Suddenly breaking away from them,
she gave the spirited animal tnt with
her whip, and sped toward home. But
running away was only postponir : the
trouble, for she knew that the men
would follow her. Without pausi1g all

the house, rode boldly through the
kitchen and parlor, and thence into a
bedroom on the lower floor, which was
generally used as guest chamber.
The soldiers searched every available

the horse was concealed in the house
did not occur to them, and they went
away disappointed. The tradition is
that the horse remained in the bed

How Bobby Went to the Grocery.


Bobby had started down town with
grocery list, and it was the first time
he had gone alone, so he felt very
proud. and happy over it. But by and
by he stopped under a lamp post to
rest.
Its purity hard work to walk all
alone to the grocery mans" ne
thought. Just then girl came by and
stopped to mail letter in the iron
box on the lamp post.
Bobby watched her with much in
terest.
Where does it go to-" he asked.
"The letter." answered the girl.
ooh, down to the postoffice. Didn't you
ever see postoffice box before?"
"No, ma'am," said Bobby. "'Cause
we've just moved here from the coun-
try.
Then, as the girl went on, Bobby
stood still looking at the box.
II wonder if it wouldn't take my
grocery list down." he thought.
"'Cause If it's smart enough to take
letters, I should think it would be able
to take grocery list"
So he tucked his paper in and sat
down to see what would happen,
though his conscience pricked him a
little.
"My mother might not like it," he
thought. II wish 1 had thought to tell
her about it first"
Presently a man dressed in gray
drove up, and, jumping out of his
buggy, unlocked the box and took out
the letters.
Bobby stood up on tiptoe, and tried
to see in.
II thought" he explained to the
man, maybe I'd have some groceries
there. put list in"
NO." said the man, laughing, "this
doesn't deliver groceries. But you
climb in the buggy, and I'll take you
down to the grocery. Here's your list. "
The grocery man let Bobby drive
back with him, and when Bobby saw
his mother looking anxiously out of
the door, he at once began to explain.
II tried to ex-ex-peppermint with a
box, mother" he said, "but was sorry,
though it was tormentous long ways
to the grocery mans, and if they
hadn't let me ride I don't know how
I'd managed. But won't do it again,
mother, truly"
"No, Bobby" said his mother, EEK

1t was several days before Norton
was pronounced well enough to leave
the hospital, where his strange case
aroused the liveliest interest among
Psychologists. 1t was generally agreed
among these experts that just as his
apparent death and loss Of memory
had been caused by surcharge of the
electric current used by DR.. SomervilIe,
so his recent oblivion of his career as
daft Billy had been due to the severe
shock sustained at Ludgate Circus.

Eggs az Ammunition.

From the Chicago Record: People IN
the little mountain town Of Sharps-
burg, KY, have a peculiar diversion
known as "egg throwing" The heaviest
battles occur on Saturday night. Jim
strong Is the captain of one egg-throw-
ing band, and Bill Eversole is the cap
tain of the other. They have about
twenty men each. Each man has to
provide himself with dozen eggs, and,
OF course. it is to his interest to buy
them where he can get them the cheap
est. AS no individual expects to be
struck by his own eggs, he does not re-
quire the dealer to candle" them. In
this way the dealers in country produce
here are able to realize at least cost
price on their sickest eggs.
Last Saturday nights battle was a
glorious one. The moon was shining
and the boys lined up for the fray
about o'clock. Every member of the
two companies was present. The cap.
tains did not throw, simply directing
the movements of their NEE. Each had
his full quota of eggs VIXEN the battle
began. The first volley was thrown by
Strong's men. and six men on the
Eversole side were struck. Then the
Eversoles began to throw eggs, and at
their first volley seven Strong men were
marked, and one egg carried away the
cap of CAPTAIN Strong. Then the
throwing became indiscr; inmate, and
no attempt at volley work was made.
The sport did not cease until the en-.
tire 4SO eggs were thrown. Nearly ev.
