chusetts was captain of a company
of New Hampshire Minutemen at
the taking of Fort Ticonderoga in
III. He was also one of the Presi-
dental electors for New Hampshire
when Washington was elected The
youngest patriot was Nathaniel Chase,
who enlisted in the Revolutionary
army when he was only sixteen.
The sixth in descent from Aquila
Chase, pilgrim, was Chief Justice Sal
mon 2. Chase. He presided over the
convention which nominated Van Btu
rem for President. As Secretary of
the Treasury under Lincoln his fnan-
cial genius enabled him to raise ST.
100000 day, when necessary. 1t
was he who originated greenbacks.
One of the makers of history was
Bishop Philander Chase, the great
missionary of the West He founded
three colleges. At the last commence
ment of one-Kenyon College-the
strenuous life of the bishop was
graphically if not elegantly sketched
in the following verses:
HE climbed the hill and said a
prayer,
And founded Kenyon College there .
Funds not being Forthcoming, he
went to England on a begging expedi-
ton.
"The king, the queen, the lords. the
earls,
They gave their crowns, they gave
their pearls,

Presidents Nicknames.

We are SO accustomed to hear
George Washington referred to as the
Father of His Country" that it does
not occur to us, perhaps, that he had
other nicknames-all most compli-

dozen or more nicknames bestowed
upon him by admirers

At the end Of it there were three pots
Kissing and bubbling over the fire. Pot
hooks of proportionate sizes held
them to straight clamp irons which
worked over poles built into the
chimney at varying heights. The
clamp irons worked loosely-they
could be slipped to either side-thus
one pot escaped interfering with the
other. By and by, the snaps, other
wise string beans, would go in with
the ham; also the potatoes, scraped

Nanny knew every inch of the in
terror. In a Whit she had out the
ham, half very big middling and
a smallish shoulder, all sound and
bright. She cooked for the whole
plantation-in all, fifty odd souls
AS soon as the ham was over the
fire she went to the garden and truck
patch, coming back an hour later with
bushel basket poised on her head,
cramful of beets, potatoes and early
cabbage, one arm full of roasting
ears and her apron bullying with lus-
cious red tomatoes.
She found the pea-shelling turned
pretty much into frolic The three
black girls and the one white one
ought to have finished it. Nanny
herself had done half of it the after
noon before. Instead, they were
shooting peas at each other, aiming
for eyes or noses. Nanny set down
her various loads, boxed all ears i'm
partially, and said gruffly:

Elizabeth went back, smiling and
comforted. Thereafter chaos plus
earthquake appeared to reign in the
| kitchen. 1t was, however, a planned
chaos, an ordered earthquake Magic
ally things were gathered in, prepared
and set cooking. Magically, also,
peaches came from the orchard !;
cream, milk, butter from the dairy;
sugar, flower, spices, havors from
places unseen. Nanny hardly did
more than note that the three extra
guests were the Elmer girls and their
brother-the girls in the carriage, the
young man on horseback.
The carriage driver got scant cour-
tesy from her when he came to the
kitchen door.

ing him off. Before that she had sent
Susy to the great house, threatening
her with all sorts of punishments if
she dared even to think of going near
the creek.
At one o'clock sharp dinner was
ready. The table was so long it had
to run cornerwise the big dining room
But long as it was there was none
100 much room. The ham graced one
end of it, steaming hot upon bed
of beautiful green snaps and balanced
at the other end by a monumental
chicken pie. 1t had been cooked in
a pot not, a pan, and turned out
heap of rich, brown crust, richer
gravy and tender favored meat. Mid
way came a huge platter of fried
chicken, bedded in squares of deli
cate fried pastry and smothered in
cream gravy, and hanking the platter

there were other goodly sized plat
tiers filled with cabbage and black
eyed peas, both we'll seasoned with
fat bacon and topped with slices of it.
Then there were Irish potatoes swim
ming in butter and cream. Lima
beans seasoned with butter, vinegar
and black pepper; hot beets sliced,
buttered and peppered; cynllings
stewed with butter and cream; stew
ed tomatoes, raw ones, sliced cucum-
enough to fill the big silver teatray
baked apples, five kinds of pickle,
sweet and sour; egg bread, hoe-cakes,
pone bread and hot biscuit, with cider,
ice water, sweet milk, buttermilk and
blackberry wine for drinking.
What wonder the strangers stared!
They were outlanders from up north,
going about to see the country What
wonder, either, the dishes went out
more than half full, Notwithstanding
the diners all had noble appetites. Be
sure there was nothing wasted-the
field hands made short work of the
leavings.
While they ate, rejoicing, Nanny
sent in ruffled peach dumplings with
rich wine sauce. For them she count
ed noses-not from motives of econ
omy, but through lack of baking
space-and duly cautioned Why, the
table maid:
"You tell my honey, 'Lizabef, not
ter ak nobody ter hab mo- dumplin's,
case dee amt no mo- fer dee ter lab.
God knows, dee oughter not hab room
fer mo'-atter all dat dun went be-
for"
For the dumplings she made sweet
cake dough, rolled it half an inch
thick and cut in in rounds the size Of
tea plate. The rounds were pinched
up into fluted cups, set close together
in baking pan and filled with ripe,
sliced peaches,' then dosed literally
with butter. sugar and grated nutmeg.
After they had cooked FIVE minutes,
very little boiling water was poured
got a top dressing of sauce. They
were barely cooked-not hard-and
served from the pan. The sauce was
made of equal measures of butter
sugar and wine. blended over boiling
water, lightly seasoned with nutmeg
and grated dried orange peel.
The dumplings were eaten to the
last shred. Tommy Sanders said af-
forwards they really settled his fate.
He wanted another so very badly
When he saw he could not get it. he
consoled himself by taking Elizabeth.
But as Jack, who sat next the young
est Elmer girl, did not do likewise,
it is probable Tommy talked only to
hear himself. The outlanders ate, for
getting dyspepsia then and after
ward They went away in early af-
ternoon, the picture of contentnent
Susy was the one person really i'll
used She waited-because there was
not room for her-and so got no
dumping at all.

~ HASE is a name derived from
4 the French word chase. In
~ Normandy, the name as sur
name was originally La
Chase. The first to whom it was
applied was perhaps keeper of the
kings chase, or he was a luntsman,
and possessing the qualifications
which made him successful beyond
his fellows, was dubbed la Chase
Those qualifications were not few: to
be 4 perfect huntsrnan man must
have health, memory, decision, tenn
per, patience, courage, spirits, per-
severance, activity, a good ear, voice
and sight. The Chase family may
fairly lay claim to the possession. Of
many, if not all, of these character
istics.
Traditions do not abound regarding
founders of the family. In the four
teenth century family named Chace

John Chase, but the deed of valor
which won him knighthood has not
been recorded All we know is that
he was apothecary to Queen Anne.
The old story of three immigrant
brothers, which often proves to be
mythical, holds true in regard to the
Chase family, for three brothers were
early settlers in the New World-Wil-
liam, who came over in 1880 in the
feet which brought Governor Win
throp; Thomas and Aquila. Newber-
ry, Mass, was settled in 1910, Aquila
Chase being one of its founders.
Another ancestor was John Chase
of Rhode Island, who was repeatedly
elected to the general assembly, He
married Susanna Gould, descendant
of Daniel Gould, one of the first
Friend preachers in the country. He
suffered persecution, being scourged
on Boston Common.

Chase and Susanna Gould is signed
by three score and more witnesses

some of the cities. This is particular

There is no idea of charity in the
scheme, although it is undertaken By

for financing the scheme. and among
the prominent Canadians who are put

weighed two hundred odd, yet was
agile and light on foot as the slim

daunted her. She was, moreover, a
person of infinite resource, with the
Sharpest tongue and heart as big

on a summer day when company
came.
She felt the coming in her bones
while she beat the breakfast biscuit.
As she swept up after breakfast, using

crence to her broom, she stopped the
hymn which she had been alternately
giving out to herself and singing, to
say freHully:
