NATIONAL COLOR OF IRELAND.

however. st. Patrick and his contem-
poraries never saw green flag in
Ireland. nor did the Irish for about
fourteen centuries after him. There
is no mention of green flag in the
Irish annals previous to 1898. At the
celebrated skirmish known as the
battle of the Boyne" the opposing
armies of King William and his
father-in-law. King James. wore red
Uniforms. In order to avoid killing
one another by mistake in the CON
fusion of battle Williams men stuck
green leaves in their hats while those
of James wore white paper rosettes.

Thus, by strange irony. the Orange
men were the first wearers of the
green in Ireland. The famous Irish
brigade in the service of France wore
red uniforms; some of them therefore
were mistaken for English and cut
down by the French cavalry in the
melee when the brigades charge gain

insurgents of 1898. Catholics and
Protestants, were the first to adopt
green as the national color of Ireland.

Ben Watson Was Nothinq Out.

The late John Kennison of Revere
came from a Vermont farm. He told
me the following story:
One of my fathers hands was
named Ben Watson. Ben used to go
down to the village Saturday nights
and return well loaded. and when in
that condition would talk audibly to
himself and the world in general,
much to the amusement of the vii
lage boys.
On one occasion Ben took a short
cut across the fields, through which a
stream ran, about six feet wide. On
coming to the stream, he said: Bet
half dollar | ken jump across
'thout Citing wet He managed to
do SO, and was so elated with his tri-
umph that he said: Bet another half

tempt he foundered midway After
pulling himself out he stood on the
edge of the stream and summed up his
profit and loss account in the follow.

a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and n

In those good old fashioned days It
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies

urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won

Mrs. Pinlsham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, il we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe

of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen

At this point Lydia f. Pinkham's

Captain Bigelow's old regiment. the
Tenth cavalry, was ordered to Cuba
as part of General Skaters army.
The captain obtained release from
his duties in Boston by telegraph and
Joined his black troopers at Charles
ton
When the Rough Riders had re-
ceived n check early in the San Juan
Hill game the Tenth cavalry was or
dered to go to their support. Captain
Bigelow led his dismounted troop

dergrowth, hard body and soul
wearying task.

striken leader, when n third bullet
found its mark. Bigelow went to
earth again with hole through his
leg just above the knee.
Litter bearers came and sought to
take the hero back. He ordered them
away and like old General Herkimer
at the battle of Oriskany, he told his
man to place him against tree with
his face to the enemy. He stood
there with the tree trunk for sup
port calmly issuing orders until an
other bullet struck him in the body
and sent him into the land of uncon-
sciousness.
Captain Bigelow was carried to the
rear but on the way he revived and
despite his four wounds and the great
loss of blood which had brought him
to the point of a childs weakness, he
struggled to return to the fighting
line. Members of the hospital corps
forced him back. delirium came from
his struggles and his wounds, and as
another has put 1t, "He was made
a hospital charge in spite of him
