anu HhIieck TO Ten. d. u. wilson
At a dinner given by the Union
College alumni in New York, two or
three years ago, an impromptu
speaker, not on the program, Gen.
James Grant Wilson, told the follow
ing story concerning the sleeve links
OF Gen. Washington. afterward the
property of Benedict Arnold and Col.
Tarleton:
II wish to talk of one of whom
Americans always like to hear. will
turn the hands of time back to 1777,
and ask you to go with me to the
battlefield OF Saratoga. which the
poet Halleck called the field OF
grounded arms. There was q great
victory, which was not due to the ef-
forts of the American commander,
but to Benedict Arnold.
The story OF that victory was re-
ported to General Washington. A
short time afterward he met General
Arnold, and, after complimenting
him on his great victory, said:
I have heard. general, that you
lost your sleeve links In the battle,
and l ask you to accept of me these,
although have worn them for some
time
General Arnold took them and
wore them for some time But later
when he became a traitor, and Wash
ington, in his dignified manner, had
expressed his contempt in strong and
burning words, Arnold no longer
cared to wear the sleeve links, and
gave them to Colonel Tarleton, the
only British officer who had treated
him with any kind o, courtesy.
"Tarleton, when he departed for
England, gave them to ioyalist,
who had acted as his secretary, and
he gave them to General Fitz Greene
Halleck, who. in turn. left them to
the man who later was his bio
grapher. And here. gentlemen said
General Wilson, drawing up his
sleeves little and raising his arms,

Good Business.

On some farms 1t will be a good
business operation to sell off the best

Issues of far greater Importance than

Back of the horrible murder of

They are partners, mutually dependent
