THE DEMOCRAT
March 10, 1903. TEN PAGES
Americas Nine National Capitals.

How many readers could tell off
hand the number of National Capitals
this country's Congress has sat in, and
give the names? Not many probably.
Well, there have been nine of them
Washington, D. c., Baltimore and
Annapolis in Maryland, Trenton and
Princeton in New Jersey, Philadelphia,
Lancaster and York in Pennsylvania,
and New York City. The first ses-
sion of the Continental Congress was
held in Carpenter Hall, Philadelphia,
September 5, 1774. Thereafter the
American Congress was for a long
time something like the Philippine
Congress while the latter was lodging
American troops-and for much the
same reason. Fearing to remain in
Philadelphia after the defeat on Long
Island, Congress went to Baltimore,
and voted George Washington dicta-
torial power for six months. Con
gress returned to Philadelphia two
months later, February 81, 1777.
Lancaster and York got their sessions
after the defeat at Brandywine, Con
gress again retreating. Nine months
the lawmakers remained in York;
news of Burgoyne's surrender was re-
ceived there. Then six months in
New York and another term in Phila-
delphia. Menaced by unpaid troops,
Congress went over to New Jersey
Sessions were held in Princeton Col
lege library. Annapolis next, where
General Washington resigned his
commission. Trenton had a trial
then, with Henry Lee as President
Here Lafayette took leave of his
American allies.

How About Dad?

We happened in home the other
night, says Kansas editor, and over
the parlor door was the legend worked
in letters of red, what is home with
out a mother?" Across the room was
another brief "God bless our home. -
Now what's the matter with ''God
bless our dad?" He gets up early, lights
the fire, boils an egg, grabs his dinner
pail and wipes off the dew of the dawn
with his boots while a mother is sleep
ing. He makes the weekly handout
for the butcher, the grocer, milkman
and baker, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour. He stands off the bailiff and
he keeps the rent paid up.
If there is noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go down stairs to find the burglar
and kill him. Mother darns the socks,
but dad bought the socks in the first
place, and the needles and yarn
afterwards. Mother does up the fruit;
well dad bought it all, and jars and
sugar costs like mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself and draws
the neck from the ruins after every
one else is served. Yes, that is all
right, but what is home without a
father. Ten chances to one it is a
boarding house, father is under slab
and the landlady is widow. Dad,
here's To Won. voI1've oOt vO1Ir fauifS-
you may have lots of 'em-but you're
all right and We will miss you when
you're gone.

Dissolve half an ounce of hard gela-
tin in three ounces two drains of cold
water until quite soft: then beat until
melted. Now add one ounce six drains
of glycerin. This will set hard and
must be melted on the hob or in hot
water for use. The advantage Of this
preparation is that there is no stick-
ness as with gum. nor does it leave a
stain. 1t is excellent for mounting both
photographs and scraps.
