The Washington Association chooses
a quiet time Of the year for its cele-
bration, but Cincinnati has the noisy
day Noise to some is without sense,
but there is lots Of sense in it. The
birth OF the nation was not quiet
affair as the guns of yorktown, Sara
toga, Princeton and Monmouth told
Noise means action. Property is the
least valuable possession, human life
is worth nothing unless it accom-
plishes something. The boy is learn
ing a lesson. Peace and quiet are not
the most desirable things for man or
people. Where is the man SO quiet
or peaceful as the dead man, or the
spot so quiet as the grave yard. We
get fat yapid and lazy when quiet and
become selfish and irritable Still
water is stagnant. The meadow to
fill its best purpose must be torn up
with the pillow, narrowed and resown,
even with the life blood of some.
The small boy does us good because he
stirs us up.
DR.. Pierson said he represented also
the other military order, the Loyal
Legion. Now the flags are being sent
back to the southern states and they
do not know what to do with them,
and it is recognized that both the blue
and the gray did what they did not
for lucre or empire.
The speaker compared the times of
Cincinnatus with the present. Then
a rich man attempted to become die
tator by the use of his resources. He
secured a great following, but Cincin-
natus saved the day. Some fear some
such move now but when the time
comes the Americans will rise and
settle that question. In closing he
suggested toast to the Society Of the
Cincinnati, and the Loyal Legion.
H. G. Pitney, Jr., was called upon
and joined with the others in a well
come to the order. A new distinction
he declared has been thrust upon the
town, and its fame will be forever as
sured if the Society will continue to
meet at Headquarters year after year.
Few men were left in Morristown at
the time of the Revolution to dochores
and furnish the eatables. Mr.. Pitney
said that President Roberts is trying
to secure for headquarters all the man
uscripts signed there.
Ex-Judge Cutler was called upon to
respond to the toast of 1.-THE Ladies. I"
AS he arose the field music rendered
THE Girl l Left Behind Me-" He
told of the part the ladies Of Morris
County played in the Revolution, the
stockings knit and other good offices
and declared that in future genera
tions the making of the new Ameri-
cans depends on the mothers of
America.
The exercises were brought to a con-
clusion by the singing of Aud Lang
Syne."

Camp Northneld.

Camp Mortified, the well-known
College mans resort of New England,
has opened with over one hundred
men safely encamped among the pines
on Notch Mountain. 1t is expected
that this number win increase to two
hundred before the middle of July and
by the time the camp closes, Septem-
Der first, it is probable that there will
have been over five hundred men reg
istered. The camp was started ten
years ago by D. L. Moody as Y. NJ.
@. A. Institution, but since that time
has Droadened out so that now any
man who is out for a good clean vaca-
tion is welcomed. Last year new ten
mis- courts and better boating facilities
were put in and camp club house
was erected in honor of Henry Seifert,
a former student manager of the camp
who was killed on the General Slocum.
The camp life begins with a rush as
the athletic organizations already
have their games and tournaments
under way. An intercollegiate field
day and track meet will take place
July fourth and after that follows a
series of base ball games between the
different college delegations who are
in Northfeld during this period. The
campers are in close touch with the
educational and religious Conferences
which are held at Northfeld through
out the summer, and are permitted to
attend the platform meetings, Of
these gatherings.

the rivalry and ill-feeling between
Tonti and the chevalier, and the sense
of security that seemed to fill the
minds of all the allies. They deter
mined upon an immediate advance,
after sending their spy back to mingle
again with the unsuspectng victims,
and render what assistance he could
at the assault upon the fort which
would have to be taken. A young
Miami, wandering to the east on the
trail of a bear, had been suddenly sur
rounded, scalped, and left for dead. He
had revived, and managed, despite his
wounds, to reach the fort ahead of the
approaching enemy.
Tonti Immediately sounded the
alarm. The fort was manned by all the
soldiers and a few Indians, among
whom was the Iroquois spy; messen-
gers were sent to recall the hunting
party; the women and children were
all taken to an island near the further
side of the river. A barricade was
hastily erected some quarter of a mile
from the fort; scouts were dispatched
to learn the position of the enemy
Thus the remainder of the night was
spent. The light of the burning lodges
of those tribes situated farthest from
the fort was seen, indicating that the
Iroquois were advancing. Day dawned.
and the scouts returning announced
that the enemy were about 1000
strong, and lay in ambush less than a
mile away. They reported that the
expedition seemed to be led by a white
chief called lie Loup." Tonti and
Pompon exchanged glances on hearing
this. "AIa fol! manami," said the
first "shall We not give my former
host a warm welcomG?"
"As hot as fire can make it." ex-
claimed Pompou.

John Knox in Chains.

John Knox, the famous Scotch
preacher, was a galley slave on French
vessels. For 19 months he
had to endure this living DEATH" says
a writer, which for long drawn out
torture can only be compared with
what the Christians of the earliest
centuries had to suffer when they were
condemned to the mines. He had TO
sit chained with four or six others to
the rowing benches, which were set at
right angles TO the side of the ship,
without change of posture by day and
compelled TO sleep still chained, under
the benches by night; exposed to the
elements by day and night alike, en-
during the lash of the overseer, who
paced UP and down the gangway which
ran between the two lines of benches;
wearing the course canvas shirt and
serge jacket of the rover; feeding on
the insufficient meals Of coarse biscuit
and porridge of oil and beans, chained
along with the vilest malefactors."

ment at this speech. He muttered at
the close, "Parbleu! | recollcrt. You
killed the Comte de Miron." Then
suddenly his face changed. T'he flush
of anger died away, and, rising slowly,
he approached Tonti.
"Capitaine Tonti, you have shown
me my fault" he said humbly. Il
have thousand pardons to beg Of you
for my conduct since my arrival. Your
attitude in everything has been COM
mendable. Your last alternative has
no force with me brave foe de-
mands ones admiration. That you are
brave | well know. A generous enemy
commands ones respect. That you are
generous you have shown by the de-
structiOn of my written promise. Let
us be rivals no longer; may we not be
friends?" And with an engaging smile
the young man thrust forth his hard
impulsively. His voice rang true, and
Tonti grasped the proffered evidence of
goodwill.

tinuel Bausis, you as the representa-
tive of La Sale and the active COM
mander; | as the representative of the
king, commander only in name, for

as for your faithful friends" turning
to POmpon and Boisrondet, their zeal
in their superior's cause is worthy OF
my thanks. God grant | find such
faithful ones always around me-"
Tonti was about to reply when a
sound Of shouting was heard in the
yard of the fort and he heard his
name called. Soon the sound of run
ming steps was heard shutting over the
hard ground, the voices came nearer,
the door burst open, and the figure Of
young chief darted into the room.
Blood streamed down his breast from
a fearful wound, while a cash across
his head showed that he had been
scalped. He stopped before Tonti an
instant The Iroquois," he cried
Having delivered his message, he
swayed, fell TO the floor, and after one
conyulsive shudder lay still.
