In the pew of the old church where once
stood Patrick Henry, and delivers that
famous grafton of the dead statesman. he
is at his best.
II have made that speech hundreds
of times" said Mr.. Grafigna. Noted
persons from all over this country and
from Europe have heard me, and far be
it for me to say it, they have enjoyed
it, I have seen tears of patriotic ardor
run from the eyes of old men and old
women as the words of Patrick Henry
rang out to them through me-
Mr.. Graffgna is popular man All
the children know him, and they are
| his nets as he is theirs. Every day he
| receives their little calls and tells them
stories of the past, and of the heroes of
their early country.
| HONORED BY ALL.
He Is respected and honored by all, and
no one in the city. would hear OF his re-
moval from the place. He IS as much
| fixture there as the old church itself.
Patrick Henry's great Liberty or
| Death speech will live as long as Mr..
C,rafigna can have anything to do with It,
When a visitor enters the old church
yard he feels that he is treadins on hal
lowed ground, and his voice grows hushed
and still, while the soft notes of the birds
in the old trees charm him into a rever-
ence for historic ground.
Some of the tombs are very old. The
| most ancient is that over the remains of
! Robert Rose. Scotch-American. rector
OF Albemarle Parish, who died June 80.
1851 The stone is In a good state of
preservation but the letters are gradually
wea ring away.
The remains Of Edward Darlington
| mark the spot near the door Of the church
where Patrick Henry once stood. He died
| in 1910.
REvOLUTIONARY HERO.
Ebenezer Parker, a Revolutionary SOL
| dier, who died In 1881. bears above his
grave one of the Revolutionary Grave
Markers placed there by the Lynn,
| lean Revolution.
! One of the noted graves is that of DR..
John Dove, grand secretary of the Grand
Lodge Of Virginia, who was born in 1892
and died in 1876.
On the tomb of John Lester, a prominent
| freeholder, is this inscription:
| mo pampered verse or sculptured stone
Shall vaunt how lineage RAM
Write this upon the heart alone,
Here lies an honest man
The words of this couplet are scarcely
dscernible, but Mr.. Graffigna knew them
| by heart.
Reminders Of ancient days crop up ali
over the church yard Old pathways. daft
fcdils and jonquils and old rose bushes.
with trees that bear the marks of age
Scarcely a day passes that does not
bring with it some party OF tourists to
b1 eathe the air tsat hangs around the
Old spot and hear the great speech of
Patrick Henry from the lips Of the his
toric keeper. In the spirit Of humor the
Council committee which has jurisdiction
over the cemetery has upon several oc-
Casions recommended that Mr.. Graffigna
wear Continental uniform, in order tina
realism might be infused into the speech,
Upon each occasion Mr.. Grafigna has
| opposed it. because he says he is not built
properly for short pants

Sherman. Published by George w.
Sherman, Morristown. N. J. 81 net
This author seems to nave a penchant
for unearthing curious material about
practically unheard Of personaFes. nd for
writing books about obscure people. He
works with laudable purpose. however.
as is witnessed by his ''Morristown, Il.
J., in the Spanish-American War" and
this present Life of Captain jeremiah
O'Brien, Of Mactias Maine" The rev.
erend gentleman would have been
knight-errant in the other days.
II we go on listening to what such au-
thors as the Rev. Mr.. Sherman has to
say about the lesser heroes Of various
wars we shall be led to believe that the
rreater figures In history were merely
figures and had very little to do with
the active suppression of British and In
dams and Mexicans anu so on. The
Rev. Mr. Sherman makes out this Cap
tain Jeremiah O'Brien to have been a
most wonderful fellow. whose thunder
was stolen. or who was at least unreasona-
bly, overshadowcd by John Paul Jones and
other school-book heroes. There is no
doubt, however. that the Rev. Mr.. Sher-
man has rendered good service to his
tory in writing. in full detail the life
of this naval captain Of the Revolution,
for there is to-day widely reviving
interest throughout our country for the
heroic chara cters in that period of
struggles Captain O'Brien was not the
least OF the heroes OF our war for In
dependence
Indeed. he was one Of the most unique
lutionary War. The services rendered
by him as a naval commander as a
military officer and as privateersman
contributed in no inconsiderable
measure towards the achievements of
independence by the American colonies.
The subsequent career of Capt.
O'9rien as a business man. as gov
eminent official. and as a private citi-
zen was also more than ordinarily IN
teresting. The author thinks. with
justice, too. that to permit the details
OF such life to lapse into oblivion
would be an Injustice TO this revoln-
tonarw character. and a positive lois
to future generations Of American citi-
zens. We southcrners. with so many
Of our lesser great unsung, should take In
this lesson. With the exception Of casual
references here and there upon the
pages Of United States history, very
little is recorded concerning the stirring

naval victories in Machias Bay during
