left her, with her colors still flying.
A party Of American soldiers com.
manded by Capt. Jacob Willigan went
on the burning vessel and discharged
three of her guns after the retreating
E6glish ships. In this battle the fire
OF the fort was principally directed
towards the two largest vessels of the
fieet-thc Experiment" and the
Bristol. The American loss was
only ten killed aud 22 wounded. The
cncmys loss was hcavy-G4 killed
and lGl wounded. The success of
this battle saved the State from the
horrors Of war for nearly three years.
In honor cf the brave commander this
fort received the name of Fort NIoul.
trie.
About these days after the battle
Mrs. Bernard Elliot presented the
regiment viii two elegant flags. She
concluded their presentation with
these words: II make not the least
doubt, under heavens protection, you
will stand by these colors as long as
they wave in the air Of liberty" The
reply was 'That the flags should be
honorably supported and never should
be tarnished by the Second regi.
ment." Aud faithfully was this
promise kept. Three years later these
flags were planted on the British lines
at Savannah: one by Lieut.. Bush,
who was shot down; Lieut.. Hume in
planting the other was also shot, and
Lieut.. Gray in supporting them re.
ceived mortal wound The brave
Sergeant Jasper on seeing Hume fall
grasped the flag and planted it, but
he received his death wound. The
retreat was sounded and Jasper was
still able to bear the colors off with
him. These flags were afterwards to-
ken by the English at the fell OF
Charles Town and were said to have
been placed in tho Tower Of London,
where perhaps they are still kept.
Our present Fort Moultrie no long
er consists of palmetto logs, but OF
solid masonry. The lonely grave OF
the brave India chief, Osoeola, lies
within the shadow Of its walls, while
near the base of the fort the tempes
tous ocean seems to thunder forth
paeans of praise to the braye defende,
of Fort Moultrie.

The gag put In the mouths of the
members of the Cabinet by President
Roosevelt was, no doubt, rendered nee
essary by the prattllng Of Secretary
Shaw, Metcalf and Wilson, and per
haps another. 1t could hardly have
been aimed at Secretaries Taft, Root
Cortelyou or Moody, for they are al
known to be fully In accord with the
policies Of the President and discreet
in what information they impart tc
the newspapers. The extraordinary
statement in the communication TO the
members of the Cabinet was:
ut is to be hoped that observance OF
this request, which places each mem
Der of the Cabinet under the solemn
moral obligation not to discuss pro
ceedings of the meetings of the Cabi
net, no one will in moment of weak
ness or of good nature give to spe
cial correspondent whom he may es
pecially like, or for whom he feels
sorry, n statement OF anything that
has happened in Cabinet meetings

to go back to the old practice of giving

of a typical collie, it weighs about
six pounds instead of the thirty or
more which the collie ordinarily
weighs. 1t has the featherlng on the
legs and in the ears and its head is
broad and intelligent, but here all re-
semblance to the well-known breed
ends, for 1t is dainty, graceful dog,
with all the pretty ways of q small
dog.
Dr. Switzer's dog Is named Spider,
and her father and mother were
brought to this country from Spain
and taken to Newburyport, and now
the mother and her two children,
Toudie and Spider, are the only rep
resentatlves of the breed in this coun-
try. Spider has an unusually broad
head, big, intelligent eyes, with spots
of brown around them; brown mark
ings on back and sides, slender, grace
full legs and coat which is cleaning
white except for the marks of brown.
The little dog is extremely affection
ate, loves to be cuddled and makes an
excellent ladys dog, but she is no toy,
for she has ,dauntless courage and
pluck, and is always ready to defend
her rights.
Although born in warm country,
she stands well the uncertainties Of
the New England climate, and is per-
fectly well in the coolest weather.
She is small eater and fresh tripe is
n delicacy of which she is particularly
fond. Jumping is her especial delight,
and She will take leaps with the ease
of a greyhound. She is an excellent
watchdog, and will bark uproariously
at the slightest noise She is sensi-
tive to a degree and grieves sorely
over cross or rough word.
