troops" SO unexpectedly and speedily
lost its bloom.
Concord has commemorated Its VIC
tory by two monuments. One. of plain
granite, stands on the spot where the
British fought and gives brief ac-
count Of the engagement thus:
Here
Was made the first forcible resistance to
British aggression.
On the opposite bank stood the American
militia.
Here stood the invading army.
And on this spot the first OF the enemy fell
In the war of the Revolution,
Which gave Independence to these United
In gratitude to God, and in the love of
Freedom, .Uf
This Monument was erected
A. ID. 1895.
The other monument stands on the
side where the Americans fought. 1t Is
a bronze statue of the minuteman.
The figure is that of a handsome young
man OF heroic size. He wears n three
cornered hat. his shirt sleeves are ROLL
ed up, Il powderhorn is slung over his
left shoulder, his right hand grasps an
old fiintlock musket. while the left still
holds the handle o" the old fashioned
pillow. over which hangs his coat. Here
is the young farmer peacefully plow-
ing. yet in readiness for the FIRST alarm.
AIR. ID. C. French, n sculptor of Con-
cord, designed this statue. On Its gran
lite base are inscribed these lines of
Emerson:
BY the rude bridge that arched the food
Their flag to Aprils breeze unfuried.
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

casion, the sculptor and the poet"
Near by is the grave of the unknown
British soldiers. 1t Is marked by two
stones and inclosed with posts and
chains, while over the narrow area tow
er two pines. AS James Russell Lowell
expressed 1t:
These men were brave enough and true
To the hired soldiers bulldog creed.
What brought them here they never knew
They fought as suits the English breed,
They came three thousand miles and died
To keep the past upon Its throne.
Cnheard. beyond the ocean tide,
Their English mother made her moan.
Some of the old houses of Concord
look almost as they did when "the flow
err OF the British troops" came down the
road. That. historically. is the most
interesting in the United States. For
one, the Wright tavern still dispenses
hospitality. Near by are the old yell
low block, dating back to 1850: the row
of buildings that served as storehouses
for the provincials; the house of MIR.
Barrett. part of which was n block
house In King Philips war; the old Jail
in which the British prisoners were
confined; the Alcott house, dating back
TO 17iO. and the Wheeler house. built
in 100 and still in possession of the
same family.
a few rods above the south bridge is
the house that was the abode OF Cap
tain Joseph Hosmer. 1t was Mrs Hos
mer who concealed those military stores
so efectually that n detachment of
British soldiers could not find them.

EARLY DAYS OUT WEST.
How Outlaws and Indians banded TO-
gether to Capture the over
land stage Coaches.

Col. "Jim" Stephenson, the livery
man of Omaha, Is one Of the veteran
freighters Of the old west. There are
not many OF the tribe left, and few OF
them at any time had more adventur-
Gus experiences than he. The terror OF
the freighters in those remote times
was Three-Fingered Jack, who was as
sisted by Roman Nose and band OF
so Sioux. In those days Stephenson
was driving Concord coach, one of a
line Of which he was operating, making
connection with western railroads. One
of these coaches was set aside 10 carry
treasure. By leaving Omaha on Mon
day morning the 600 miles 10 Denver
could be made by Saturday afternoon.
One day the coach started out with
100000 for Denver. Stephenson drove
the six horses himself as far as Kear-
ney. There were five passengers and
Ben Adams, the guard. Two hundred
miles out, near where Lexington, Neb.,
now is, while the coach was climbing a
hill, Jacks band blocked the road. He
yelled to Stephenson TO pull up, but
Jim cracked his whip on the horses,
which sprang forward and two of the
outlaws were run over before they
could get out OF the way.
Stephenson says: AT the same time
Ben Adams fired both barrels OF
heavily-loaded shotgun into the band
and killed three OF their number. From
both sides of our treasure coach the pas
sengers fired their pistols at the out
laws. They did little execution, but the
bandits evidently thought they had sur.
prised an army from the way they scat
tered. / gained the brow of the hill be-
fore the road agents were ready 10 act.
They poured n volley into the rear OF
our coach. which killed two passengers
outright and wounded George Golden.
In spite Of his wounds the brave fellow
climbed up to the rear window of the
coach and as the great vehicle swayed
and rolled as we dashed wildly down
the hill poured shot after shot into the
outlaws. This kept the bandits at a dis
lance. and they were afraid TO approach
until their Indian allies came up. We
came two miles down the hill in three
minutes. AS we reached the foot OF
the hill the Indians hove In sight.
They could not get up close TO us and
the road agents were afraid. They
sent cloud of missiles through the
coach, over our heads and into the
horses pulling the coach. One arrow
pierced the face of Golden as he de-
Tended our rear. Another feathered
shaft stuck into Adams back. In adj
dition he received no fever than ten
other wounds. In spite OF the jolting Of
the coach he managed to knock several
of the pursuers from their horses with
his rifle.

was almost In sight and then drew OF.

and Golden was desperately wounded,

UNDER THE LINES.

II mattered little TO me IL I rode a
portion of the way back with de Belin,
and so turned Couronne's head as he
wished. Before setting Oft. however, he
gave some rapid and whispered orders
TO WALTON, emphasizing them with
loud Quick, mind you, and do not fail"

Tho crowd was as great as ever, and
we were compelled to go slowly. Look
Ing for moment TO my right as we
went forward, / saw WALTON making as
much haste as he could In the delivery
OF bis message, and wished to myself
that my own stout-hearted knave were
with me; one blade such as his was
worth n half-dozen hired swords.
II was my intention TO leave de Belin
nj his hotel. and make my way as
quickly as possible TO my lodging. and
thence. taking the risk of the kings

ment OF leisure 90 examine Golfers

I got at It's contents the better.

window, his back TO the light, and

In an agitated manner, and the king
himself was leaning against a high
desk. beating tattoo with his fingers
on the veneer.
As lie Belin presented me, bent TO

broken oAly by Henry renewing the
auicf, impatient tapping of his fingers
ON the woodwork of his desk. He was,
what was unusual with him when IN

Exports of domestic manufactures,

that the manufacturers have in the pc

in exports Of their productions than any
other class Of our great producers.
The great gain In the ratio OF exports
to imports that has taken place in the
first three quarters of the current fiscal

Protection works double benefit and
produces some surprising results. An
increase of over 500, 00O, 900 In exports
and decrease of over $1oo,0oo,ooo In
imports Is the record Of our foreign
commerce for the nine months ending
September 30, 1898, compared with the
corresponding nine months of the pre-
ceding year. No corresponding period
in any year of the country's history has
shown such a record. No other country
has ever equaled this record.
The total exports of the nine months
ending September 30. 1893. are prac-
tically twice as great as those of 1888,
while the imports show a reduction of
1917 per cent, as compared with 1858,
despite the growth of our population In
the meantime. The imports Of mer-
chandise In the nine months just ended
are less than in any corresponding pc
Rod since 1885, when the consuming
capacity of the country was but little
more than half what IL now is The
gains in all classes of production have
been enormous during the past decade.
The exports OF the product of the mines
which for the nine months ending Sep
TENDER 30, 1898, are in round numbers
sec, 1000, 900, have increased more than
80 per cent. since 1883. Exports OF the
productions of the forests, which were
s1s,775,141 in the corresponding nine
months of 1883, are in the nine months
just ended s30,775,57s. Agricultural
products, which in nine months of 1883
