FRANKLIN'S FIRST SILVER.
An Interesting Bit of History Connect
ed With the Great Philosopher.

The first piece of silver that Benja-
min Franklin ever earned repOses in
the rooms of the Historical Society of
Delaware, in the shape Of quaint
punch strainer, and to it is attached
an interesting bit of history connect
ed with the early days of the great
philosopher.
When working as lad in Boston
Franklin wrote ballads on current
events and sold the copies printed by
himself on the streets. 1t is probable
that the silver coin now in the shape
of strainer was earned in this way.
He worked with another poor printers
apprentice named James Parker, and
as both were ambitious AMI studious
they became great friends.
To both of them came success, but
in different measure. Of Franklin
the whole world was to hear, and Mr..
Parker became one of the first Ameri-
can printers, and later the editor
of The Post Boy, published in New
York.
Working side by side, possibly shar-
ing the same lodgings, it was natural
that they should, for "a mascot" as we
now say, exchange the first silver
coin that each earned. So Franklin
had Parker's coin and Parker had
Franklin's, which he kept for SOU
venir and a nest egg. When he was
able to do so Mr. Parker had it made
into a punch strainer. This he gave
to his daughter, Jane Ballaroux Par
ker, a charming and accomplished
woman, who married Cunning Bedford
of Delaware.
Belonging to a prominent family,
Cunning Bedford was man of in
fuence and a stanch patriot. At
Princeton College, then called Nassau
Hall, he was a good friend of James
Madison, afterward President of the
United States. Cunning Bedford soon
rose to be judge and then attor-
ney general of the State of Delaware.
With his brilliant wife he enter
tanned many distinguished people at
their fine country estate. Lombardy,
and at their city home in Wilmington.
In time the valued little punch
strainer was passed to their daugh-
ter, Miss Henrietta Jane Bedford, who
lived to a great age. When she died
in 1871 she presented the punch
strainer, and the pistols which Wash
ington had given her father when he
sent him on a dangerous and impor-
tant secret mission to Trenton, to the
Historical Society of Delaware.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

have always waged an aggressive war;
fare upon the evils which weigh down
society and, finding them encroaching
upon their chosen ground, are up In
arms over the invasion.
Father Grant leads in the crusade.
His youth, his determination and his
high standing fit him for the task. He
already has caused to be arrested sa-,
loonkeepers for selling beer to minors,
and for keeping open during prohibit
cd hours. Landlords who lease prop
erty for dishonorab BILE purposes he has
had arraigned and dispossess notices
served upon the unclean among the
tenants. The public are cooperating
in this cleansing of plague spots.
Father Grant deals only with the
lawbreakers. With those who observe
the law he has no quarrel. But the
painted street walker must go and the
barkeeper who sells beer to children Of
tender years, especially to girls, who
are hardly able to stagger along with
O pint mea sure, must quit his democrat
izing business.
