"Oh, do come, Miss Deb. You know.
we're going to celebrate the incorpora-
ton of Hilton, as well as the Fourth.

With blush and giggle the girl cast

morning
Miss Deborah followed the girls
glance and smiled as she caught sight
of dark figure lurking in the shadow
of the lilacs by the fence.
"Oh, it's JOEL" she said.
Ellen Ann giggled.
Perhaps it was the remembrance of
her own unfinished romance which
made her heart particularly tender to-
ward all lovers. Be that as it may. she
was the village confidante. Many awk-
ward youths and shy maids blessed her
for the kindly way in which she sped
their wOOing.

Then the whole assemblage awoke
the echoes with My Country, 'Tfs of
Thee" and the people cheered again.
Then Squire Cooper, who had been re-

some remarks, but detecting signs of
restlessness among the younger people,
he brought his remarks down to the
pith of his address.
"Fellow Townspeople: l have n sur

The cheering mercifully drowned Miss
Deborah's painful little gasps Of con
sternation. No one noted her pale face
All eyes were upon their illustrious
townsman.
Hon. John Smith did not detain his
hearers long. He referred to the fact
that they were all more eager to attend

CHANGING HIS NAME.

EBORAH HANCOCK was bus
lluy engaged in decorating her
~ birthday cake. She sighed as
she placed the last candle, one more
than the previous year. How fast these
little waxen milestones seemed to null
tiply!
Several years before, when the whole
surface of the cake was so thickly stud
ded that she could find no place for the
new taper, Miss Hancock paused to
ponder.
Was not 30 a good age at which to
lose count?
The temptation was great. But all
false pretense was abhorrent to the
sturdy Hancock nature. Prevarlcatiol
even to ones self was not to be toler-
ated. And what folly could equal i'll
Stiffness that of attempting to conceal
ones age?
The tapers were red, white and blue.
The republic and Miss Deborah cele-
brated the anniversary Of their birth
upon the same day.
A light tap sounded at the door. De-
borah carefully locked her pantry door
before admitting her visitor.

MILITARY CAREER OF JACKSON.

Treated HI, Men with Harshness, but
They Worsh ipped Him
OF all the careers in our army there
is no parallel to that of Jackson. He
treated his militia with the utmost
harshness, but they worshipped him
and rendered such service for him as
no other general ever got out of them,
says Gen. Francis V. Greene in Scrib-
ner's.
He was the terror of his superiOrs in
Washington, his only idea of discipline
being the enforcement of his own will
against those above him as we'll as
those under him; but he had such
hold on the people by reason of his
strength of character, his integrity,
and his great deeds, that no one dared
to call him to account for any of his
acts.
His fighting was always against In
dians, except in his one brief CAM
paign at New Orleans; the theater OF
his campaign was six-mile plot,
where there was no opportunity for
strategy or grand tactics, or the exer-
else of any of the qualities Of general
ship except one; he selected and forti-
fed a position about 1000 yards long,
with one flank on the river and the
other on a swamp, and the enemy
dashed himself to pieces against it.
But his enemy was the best regular
troops in Europe, who had defeated
the plans of Napoleon in Spain. jack
son crushed them, and this one fact
blots out all his mistakes and leaves
him unperishable fame as great SOL
dier.
The war with Mexico, whether just
or unjust from political standpoint,
Is one Of the most brilliant pages in the
history of the army. While a large
number of volunteers were called out ID
was fought in the main by the regular
army, and with scarcely reverse from
start to finish. The commanding gen.
erals were still young enough for ac-
tive service, but they had all had mill
tary experience in the war Of 1912 and
the Indian campaigns: and the regi-
ments were filed in the lower grades
with intelligent, ambitious and we'll
educated cadets from West Point, Of
whom over 1,1O0 had been graduated
between 1917, when Thayer became
superintendent, and 1S45.
