THE COUNTRY'S PAST
A Retrospee I've Glance at the Periis Of Our
Great Nation-Each Generation
History Maker.

All anniversaries call back, ant
turn our minds retrospectively t.
the different annual milestonel
which share with them the same
honor, but on an anniversary O.
this kind when most of the jour
ncy must be made on board the
pages OF history, we are left tc
fancy for details. And this morn
ing allow your minds to be trans
yeyed on the wings OF fancy back
for a period OF one hundred and
twen y-seven years, and distance
OF almost 5000 miles.
Delegates from "a handful OF
states harras' ed by war and divid-
ed in sentiment are gathered to-
gether in an old, unassuming look
ing hall. They are considering a
document which proposes at a
brave stroke to sever every political
tie which has for so long time
held them to the mother country,
and some, because j kind OF
reverence, hesitate before taking
the step. Perhaps some others are
overcoming the fear OF the fate
which would surely overtake them
all in case Of the failure to estab-
-lish the principles in that memor-
able document.
Ny friends read the declaration
and consider the fairness with
which they met the issue, for on
the high seas at that very time
thousand Of foes from Hesse Castle
were being transported hither tc
spill blood for the sake of gold |
G mpare the + methods with that
of some of th- recent movements in
Europe which are done in the
name of freedom and liberty.
These men builded better than
they knew Compare the Declara-
ton of Independence with the
Magma Charta of which we hear so
much which gave only a degree Of
liberty to only a few barons.
These brave, these Incompatible

worthy of the name. They brought
o pass the dreams, they realized

cies that all the. great and 60 ID

The Puritan Fathers md SmokfnE Z.
The Puritan fathers were greatly
addicted to snoking-indeed. the prac-
tice became so common that even the
straitlaced observers OF times and sea-
sons actually smoked In church. This
custom soon caused very considerable
annoyance. rs the religious exercises
were greatly disturbed by the clink-
ing of fiints and steels to light their
pipes and the clouds OF smoke In
church. Hence in the year 1889 the
colony passed this law: 1T is enacted
that any person or persons that shall
be found smoking of tobacco on the
Lords day. going to or coming from
the meetings. within two miles OF
meeting house. shall pay IL pence for
every such default" Under this Law
several persons were actually fined bur

dust the tribute of its love, anC
100000 OF free people are CRATE
full to the heroes of the revolution
who gave to our fathers free land
; This declaration contained in it;
Iprincip1es guiding truths not alone
suited to that age, but to every
changing condition to which more
than a century and quarter has
placed us in. The pcssimist OF to-
day may declare that its principles
are ignored, but only at first was
such the case. The revolution
gave our fathers free land but it
took the war of 1912 to give them
a free a and establish the rights
of the American sailor. England's
motto, "Once an Englishman al
ways an Engl shman," caused her
to scour the high seas in search of
seamen of English birth to enforce
into her navy, and under such
pretei.ses our flag was often in
suited and American born seamen
were impressed into the British
service. This war had Just as i'm
portant function as the former
but was opposed by an element,
class we still have with US who
care more for gold than for prin-
ciple and who would be menace
to the very life OF republican
form of government were it not for
the fact that they are always out
classed numerically by the better
element of citizens.
We remember the services and |
sufferings of those who fought the
merciless savages of the frontier
We see the midnight massacres
and hear the war cries of the allies
Of England. We see the flames
climb round happy homes and i'll
charred and blackened ruins we
see the mulated bottles OF women
and children. Peace came at last
with the victory OF New Orleans, a
victory th4t redeemed all defeats
all suffering.
The revou ion drove foreign rule

# the declaration ''that all men

eloquent vision, we go with then
as they part with those they love
we see the wave OF a hand from
the turn of the road and the las
reply. We GO with them and arr
by their sides on all the CORY fields
and in all the hospitals of pair
and on all the weary marches
We stand guard with them in the
wild storm and under the quiet
stars. We are with them in ra-
vines running with blood, in the
burrows of old fields. We are with
the wounded lying between con-
tending hosts, wild with thirst, un-
able to move, with their life's
blood slowly ebbing out among
the trampled grass. We see them
pierced by ball and torn with shells
in the trenches of forts and in the
wild whirlwind of the charge where
men become iron with nerves of
steel. We are with them in the
prisons OF hatred and famine, but
tongue can never tell what they
endured We hear the roar and
shrek of the bursting she'll, the
broken fet ers fall and instead of
slaves we see men, women and
children. The wand OF progress
touched the auction block, the
slave pen and the whipping post
and we see homes, firesides, schools
and books.
For all these ninety years a part
Of the document signed by those
men had been a dead let

iederacy died, Davis fed and the

own people, 1t is named Merely Mary
Ann" and this Is enough to indicate
that it has been built around one of
zangwllrs short stories.
Merely Mary Ann" is one OF those
studies of character that will give
zangwill permanent place in English
literature. Mary Ann is one among
tens of thousands of country girls work
ing in London as servants, She Is
modest in speech and manner Her face
is not beautiful, but there is a quiet
dignity and sympathy about It that
attracts and holds the attention of men
Mary Ann is the kind of n girl about
whom no man could imagine an evil
thought. She is the kind of a girl men
turn to when they are tired of flirts
and think OF settling down." She was
going happily about her duties one day
when young composer came to live in
The house He rented an apartment and
spent most of his time with his piano,
Mary Ann had TO carry up his meals,
For week she passed in and outwith
her tray without word. The compos-
er, I.ancelot had noticed her meanwhile,
and one morning good-naturedly asked
her name. Mary Ann" she replied,
her face red with embarrassment. He
notices the poise of her head, the truth
in her eyes, the natural grace In ev-
cry movement, the neatness with which
her servants dress fits. He notices al
so that work has soiled the beauty of
her hands and he tells her about 1t.
The next time she carries in the break
fast tray her hands are covered with
gloves. and Launcelot hurries out of the
room and busies himself at his piano.
Ordinarily 1t would have been redicu-
lous, but no one could laugh at the
girls intent. Impossible TO, to tell her
to show her red hands again. and so
the tray comes and goes supported on
white gloves.
1t would be hard to find more pleas
ing touch in the length of Dickens,
There is a charm about this simple
girl. with her red hands hidden from
gaze, that appeals to tears in women
and to chivairy in men. 1t is not known
what changes Zangwill has made. but
among others he has changed the end
In the story the couple were not mar
iied, but for stage purposes Zangwill
has had everything come out as II
should. He was criticised when the
story first was published because he left
the outcome In doubt. So it will
delight the doubters to know that they
have been brought together. that love
has leveled station and given them hap

CHAPTER XII.

Winifred was no longer unhappy. She
had not forgotten the old tie that had
been snapped SO rudely, but others had
wound themselves round her. She had
two mothers now-her dear old madame
and kind Lady Grace; each seemed to vie
with the other In tenderness and care for
her.
II was a bright, treacherous morning
In early April. and she hsd just come in
from her round OF visits to the conserva-
tory and hothouses. laden with choice
flowers. She laid them carefully on the
long table by the window, and proceeded
10 make selections. She was bending
over q cut crystal vase. her hands filed
with delicate ferns. when the door was
thrown open and = servant announced
"Mr. Hastings" He was in the room be-
fore she had time to turn. A quick thrill
of pleasure danced through her veins,
then she drew herself up into naughty
coldness-memory aud pride had come tC
her aid. Mr.. Hastings was certainly
neither bashful nor nervous, but on find
ing himself thus alone with the girl whom
he had loved. he felt a very pardonabl'
swkwardness. He chose to face It brave
". though. He went quickly toward her
uttering her name in q low voice. She
drew back a step or two, and looked a.
him with proud coldness. He stopped
suddenly, looked at her, and turned away
deeply mortified. =.
81 will tell Lady Grace" Winifred said
quietly, and would have left the room
I but Mr.. Hastings confronted her.
"Do not 20 yet" he exclaimed, "HsteI
to me for n moment 6rst. VIII you nevel
forgive me?-win you not let me atom
to you"
Il will never forgive you" she cried
the passionate tears yelling into he
eyes, and she swept past him and lef
the room.
Mr. Hastings stamped with futile ange
on the ground.
How could be such foOlT' he nut
tered between his teeth. Il have lost al
hope Of this girl. whom would rathe
have for my wife than the proudest prin
cess in Europe"
His reflections were all .cut short B.
