brought to her the resolution 10 fight
in the Continental Army until liberty
was secured" writes Mabel Percy
Haskell in the July Ladies' Home
Journal of The Girl who Fought in
the Revolution :" ''She revealed her
purpose to enlist to none for fear of
opposition, but with the small sum of
money she had laid by from the sale
of her chickens she purchased the
wool to make the cloth for her suit,
weaving it herself and making the
garments in secret. She informed
her employer just prior to leaving
that she was going TO seek employ
ment in Boston and set off with her
clothes in a parcel without creating
any suspicious as to her plan. De-
borah changed her garments in the
woods, and came forth a man to all
appearances, and made her way to
Taunton and thence to Dillingham;,
where she Immediately enlisted in

THEY ACCUSED THEIR GUEST
OF Stealing a Watch from the Mantle
Easter Morning.

Monday Morning Mrs. Laura Da-
yisson complained before Justice RI.
ley that one Joseph Brown, of VIII
sonburg, had stolen a watch Easter
morning from her residence on the old
Golf farm a mile from the city. She
stated that she saw Brown take the
watch from the mantle and her nus
band, Thomas E. DAWSON, Brown
and her son Edward came to the city.
Arriving here the three attended the
big fire. Brown and DAWSON felt a
little dry and leaving the fire came up
street to get their thirst quenched.
The boy fingered. Brown did not &c.
company DAVIDSON and son home, nor
did the watch either. Next morning
Mrs. DAWSON, after hearing her hus-
bands story to the effect that Brown
might have pawned the watch for
drinkhied herself to browns home.
He informed her that Dawson had
pawned the watch at saloon. She
returned to the city and interviewed
the saloon keeper, who Informed her
that while the man had been there nc
watch had been pawned or even men.
toned Then it was she decided to
consult the dispenser of justice. A
warrant was issued for Browns ar
rest and he was brought before the
justice.
The Davisson's came here from
PENNSYLVANIA about Christmas and
their acquaintance with Brown has
been short although it has become
quite intimate between Brown and the
head of the house. That was Browns
first trip to Davisson's home and will
probably be the last.
The watch is worth about SO but
priced very highly because it was q
present to the son from cousin.

At YOUR OWN DOOR
You Register Your Letter-Latest Ar,
ranaement Made by Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam has decided that 1t will
not be necessary hereafter for persons
to visit the postoffice in order to
register a letter. The citizens of
Clarksburg residing within the limits
OF the free delivery service In the res
idential districts of the city are the
ones for whom this service is lnaugur-
ated. The order went into effect on
and after Monday. April 16, 1900.
In permitting the letter carriers to
preform this service it is necessary
for the Department to exact certain
requirements, which, though easy OF
fulfillment, are, nevertheless impera-
tive.
1. Only letters can be registered;
and they must be ready in every res
pect when the carrier calls, for he is
forbidden, on pain Of dismissal, to
wait even a fraction Of a minute
longer than is necessary to write the
receipt.
,. Every letter must be inclosed in
an envelope strong enough to safely
carry contents, and be in perfect con-
dition. The envelope must bear name
and address Of sender, name OF ad-
dressee and his postoiiice address; and
have the postage and registry fee pre-
paid, either with stamps attached or
in money, the exact amount to be paid
to the carrier. The writing on eE-
velope must be plain and legible.
If you have failed to comply with
any OF these requirements the carrier
is obliged to refuse your letter. If it
be properly prepared, he will register
the letter on his next trip.
Your receipt will be written by him
and show the amount of money paid
him for postage and fee, when stamps
are not attached to your letter. II
there be surplus, it will be returned
from the postOiiice.
Carriers are forbidden to make oral
explanations or engage in discussions
with patrons to register letters free,
to advance money or stamps to pay
postage, or to make change.
fit be found that your letter is I'M
mailable for any cause when it reaches
the postotlice, you will be notified
direct.
The registry fee for letters, foreign
and domestic, is s cents in addition to
full postage, making the ordinary one
ounce letter cost 10 cents. While a
money order is generally preferable in
sending money, the above system will
be a great coyenlence to those who
cannot visit the postotiice.
