Kentucky papers have recently
chronicled the death VI Mrs. Susan
Stringer Bennett, "Kentucky's last
and only daughter of the American
revolution" Mrs. Bennett was the
daughter of a revolutionary soldier
and perhaps the only one in Kentucky.
But there are yet hundreds OF Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution in
Kentucky and In every other state of
the Union and their number increases
daily.
The real Daughters VI the Ameri.
can Revolution Ire those women who
have the spirit OF '76, who hate tyran-
ny, and who love Justice.
You do not need to search any gen.
ealogical records to find out who
these daughters are. Their names are
written on the rolls of the Kentucky
Equal Rights association. an organic
alton of women which stands for the
principle for which the men of '76
fought-"taxation without representa-.
ton is tyranny" The day will never
come when 1t a be said Of Kentucky
that her last and only Daughter oil
the American Revolution" is dead,
and what Is true of Kentucky Is true
of all her sister states.

Old Bay State Towns Whose Citizens
Won First Battle of the Revolution.


Tell your children of it. and let
your children tell their children. and
their children another generation" is
an Injunction honored by age, but
which every true New Highlander is
prompted to obey on each anniversary
OF the memorable battle of the open
ing of the revolution.
A glimpse at the battle map gives
the reader some intimation of the ter
ritory stirred to action and from
which came the embattled farmers,
and suggests the spirit of gratitude
shown in bronze and granite set up
by those who now consider that sig
nihcant uprising in connection with
its consequences to the entire world.
Although years have passed, evidence
OF the yeomen's determination con-
tinue to accumulate. OF all the towns
that responded to the Lexington
alarm, none has a grander record than
the town Of Acton, and from the old
Robbins garnet in that territory has
come this very spring a yellow manu-
script which reads as follows:
I'VE, the subscribers, do solemnly
agree and promise that we will OBJ
serve and conform to the association
OF the continental congress-, and do
hereby make it our own particular act
and covenant until we obtain an
ample redress Of our grievances, as is
specified in the said association. as
witness our hand this fifth day of
December, IVA"
OF the twenty-seven signatures to
this paper, n autograph most i'm
pressive is that of Isaac Davis, who
fell at Old North bridge on the 9th of
April.
The alarm sounded by Paul Revere
was carried on by courier to the Dor
ders of the county and beyond, while
Ebenezer Dow. who left Boston about
the same hour, disguised as a country
man on a marketing trip, gave the
alarm to the towns in other directions.

The Summer Kitchen.

The kitchen woodwork should be as
simply finished as possible. No mold

of any kind. White and green are the
coolest colors for the kitchen.
Perhaps the best thing is to paint
Vie walls so that they may be washed
and kept clean from the greasy smoke
of cooking.
Carpets in the kitchen are most un,
desirable. The best covering, unless

ing enemy came down the main road
and the watchers were surprised by
a thanking party of irritated British,
who wreaked their vengeance on the
provincials.
Not less than % Americans fell on
that April afternoon in Menotomy
Cambridge, and fully twice as many
of the enemy persisted. Many of the
dead were carried back to the towns
whence they came in the early morn
ing. So urgent were their ~country's
needs that the villagers had no time
for funeral rites and the carpenters
were too busy to make the collins, so
that these martyrs were committed to
a common grave with their clothes for
shrouds.
Lynn, in Essex county, responded
with a will. Many men went in hot
haste in answer to the early warning.
Four were killed, as the immortal
scroll bears testimony. One, Abed-
nego Ramsdell, ran in his stocking
feet from the marsh, where he was
cunning, all the way to Saugus, got to
Lexington at noon, faced the British
in the middle of the road, fired once
and fell riddled with bullets. No more
pretentious monument is needed than

Charlestown. although only across
the river Charles, saw none of the

in proportion. By this means, she is
able to give each guest a fresh cake
