troops received from Baron Steuben at
Valley Forge stood them In good stead
They fought like veterans, aud the
day was won.
There was one other who shared the
honors Of the battle OF Monmouth with
Washington. aud that was brave Molly
Pitcher Her husband, an artillery
man In Oswald's command, was sta,
toned with his battery In an exposed
position In the American line. Time
and again the men at the guns were
moved down. but the survivors contin,
ued the fight with vigor. Molly Pitcher
had been carrying water from near,
by spring for the gunners to wet the
sponges when they swabbed out the
cannon, While returning from one Of
these excursions to the spring Molly
saw her husband fall. There was no
one TO take his place at the gun. With
out a moments hesitation the brave
woman set down the water she was
| carrying. seized the rammer and took
her husbands place. The army cheered
her wildly as she discharged the can.

discouraged them. and Washington
realized the advisability of winning
victory over the British, which would
tend to hearten his men and raise the
tagging spirits of the nation. Accord
ingly, when the British, under Sir Hen
ry Clinton, evacuated Philadelphia, on
June 13, and marched toward Bruins
wick, N. j., with view of embark
ing on Raritan river, Washington
broke camp, at Valley Forge, sent for
ward some light troops to harass the
enemy, and then with the main body
started In pursuit At Allentown Clin-
ton suddenly turned to the right by q
road leading through Freehold to San
dy Hook. The evening of June 27
found the main body of the British en-
camped at Monmouth Courthouse, In
the town of Freehold, while the Amer
lean advance, under Maj. Gen. Lee,
was fve miles away.

main body should come up. The Amer
leans were successful at first, but the
charges Of the British regulars soon
threw them into confusion and they
began a disorderly retreat in which
their commander participated. Wash
ington, coming up with the main body
of troops, beheld Lees flying men. The
face of the American commander-ln-
chief flushed angrlly, as he spurred
his horse through the demorallzed
troops to Lees side. Sternly he re-
buked the commander. and then, rally
ing the fugltives, FASTENED back to
bring up the main body.
Washington succeeded In placing his
troops ON an eminence In favorable
position and soon was turning defeat
into victory. The British made an in
effectual attempt to turn the Ameri-
can left wing and then turned their at
tention to the right, where they were
also repulsed.

A curious sight in the streets OF To-

that the gray coat was fearful
scourge to the Colonial farmers and
that Pennsylvania paid $1,000 In boun-

meant the destruction Of 640,000 with

the early days of Western settlement
regular hunts were organized by the

Der of trophies. The quantities thus
killed are almost incredible now.
An African chiefs umbrella is of
greater importance than many people
imagine, apart from its enormous size.
Its loss in battle more than equals the
loss OF a standard OF European COM
mander. Some of the umbrellas are Of
prodigious dimensions, being no less

IL feet 6 inches long. They are made
of lancewood, and the covering is Of
gorgeously coiored chintz, in varied
sections of crimson, yellow and blue.
The opening is performed by means Of
pulleys and ropes attached to the run

ices of three or four men. The pole,

any desired position. When no sounds,
or only very faint ones, are heard. that
fact indicates DETECTION of the lines

reaching a Dog TO Read.

The intelligence of animals seems,
as a rule, to be underrated rather than
oyerrated. A dog breeder described
the other day wonderful collie that
had belonged to Sir John Lubbock.
'This dog" he said, would, when II
was hungry, lay at its'master's feet a
card marked food When it was
thirsty it would fetch a card marked
drink When it wanted to take a
walk it would bring a card marked
out Sir John Lubbock trained 1t to
do this trick In less than a month.
He put the food card over the dogs
food and made 1t bring the card to him
before he would allow 1t to eat, and in
the matter Of drinking and going out
he used a like method. The cards
were similar in shape and color; moth.
ing but the writing on them differed
Since, therefore, the dog distinguished
them by the writing alone, it may
truly be said that the animal could
read"
