anecdote of Col. Tom Sumter Of

Sumter was a great big giant of q
fellow with a voice like a fognorn. il

miles. On one occasion when he was
off on a foray the Tories came and
captured his wife, Molly, ard strir,
ped the plantation of everything.
When "Old Tom" came home and
found Molly gone, his rage knew no
bonnds. Gathering together such
forces rs he could he put after the
Tories. lie overlook them on the
third day and hung about until mid
night. Then he deployed hs forces
around the camp and told them Ia
await his orders to tire. He was
afraid of "Molly" being shot in the
melee. so when he, got everything
ready he opened his big mouth and
let ont a yell that fairly made the
earth tremble: @Lay down, Molly!
Lay down, Molly" and Molly, recog-
nizing those stentorian tones. fell
prone on her face. and after the last
@Lay down, Molly" came the com
mand to fire and charge. Molly was

Citizens Of Youngstown, Pa, are

earned was by peddling apples and
candy from a basket which he carried.
and, rs he grew older and feeble, his
income dwindlcd until it was barely
enough to sustain him. Coupled with
this was the fact that he began to
lose his teeth, which, up to hal time.
had always served him faithfully.
"This troubled him exceedingly, and
it was his habit to request persons to
buy his wares in order hat he might
save enough money to get q set of

weeks ago he received the teeth and
he was as proud of them as a mother is
of her first baby. Nothing would do
but he must MUNICH an apple for every
acquaintance he met to show him how
the new worries worked.
'"Well," the old resident said, reflec-
lively, Joe must have eaten about 100
apples that first day, and when the
next day came he couldn't get out of
bed, he kept on getting worse till he
died.
"My wife says the pleasure of receiv-
ing the teeth was too much for him,

had something to do with it,"

The War Crisis.

The var crisis is still in the balance.
Congress, by a supreme effort of self
control holds itself in allegiance for
the Presidents message. 1t is right
that it should be so.
The message which President Me-
Kinley VIII send to Congress to-day
will be a history making document.
1t viii show the world oday, and to
future generations, the position which
the United States takes in this crisis
and if war we must have, it will show
to future historical students why this
country found it necessary to take up
arms.
1t Is light, therefore, that the Presi-
dent should not be forced at this vital
time That he will speak emphati
cally, and without evasion of the
issues, there is no doubt. 1t behooves
us as a nation now, as much as in the
early days of this excitement, to curb
our impotence, knowing that in the
eyes of the world we are winning ad-
miration for our dignified, unemo-
tional, vet answering demeanor in
this crisis. The United States is
making history of which future gem
erations of Americans will be proud.

Il is quite evident from the senti-
mem expressed at the meeting of the
board Of aldermen Monday evening
that Che controlling element in the
board desires to see the Gerry police
men paid.
There are many people in Ellsworth
who feel. as does Alderman Lord that
it is too bad for these men, who
served apparently in good faith, to
lose their time.
But this is not a matter of senti-
menJ; it is a question of right and
justice. The municipality of Ellis
worth is not a charitable institution
or a gilt enterprise. Even granted
that a majority of the taxpayers of
Ellsworth favor paying the Gerry po-
licemen-w which we do not admit-if
there is one taxpayer in Ellsworth
who believes they should not be paid
until their claim is legally established,
his rights should be respected. Fur
thermore, he has the power to force
such respect by injunction.
But while it is evident that a major
ity of the board favors payment or
settlement with the Gerry policemen,
it is not as evident that they can
carry their point. The position of
Aldermen Lord and Whitney on this
question IS matter of record. Mon
day night Mayor Higgins put himself
on record a, opposed 10 paying the
men until their claim was lawfully es-
tabEshed.
If it should 50 happen that the other
three members of the board, Messrs
Brady, Smith and Staples, should vote
to pay or settle. the mayor has the
power to veto such action, if he sees
fit to exercise it, and the necessary
four votes could not be obtained to
pass it over the mayors veto.
The city of Ellsworth has not heard
the last OF the Gerry police matter.
