In playing this hole Dir. Travers sliced bis

Finding Il impossible 70 tee his ball anywhere
back OF or near the place where Il lay. he
brought &c out on the course. not nearer tho

LYDIA DARRAcH.
LoxIey House, Philadelphia, Whsrs
She PLAYED Eavesdropper,

LoxIey House, Philadelphia, Whers
She Played Eavesdropper.
One of the favorite stories connected
with the Revolution is the tale Of
Lydia barracks patriotism, which
story, like others of similar import, has
been discredited by the discriminating
historian Notwithstanding the cold
1ouche thrown upon the tradition it re-
mains popular with all who know it.
The house where the famous caves
dropping on the part of the Quakeress
took place is not so well known.
Those who have heard or read the
story of Mrs. Darrach hardly need to
be informed that she and her husband
lived in what was called the Loxley
house. once at the southeast corner OF
Little Dock and Second streets. Little
Dock was the thoroughfare which runs
in southwestern direction from Dock
street to Second street. The ground
upon which the Loxley house stood
was acquired by Benjamin Loxley, a
well to do carpenter, who owned prac-
tically whole square in this vicinity,
from George Clymer in April, 1859, and
the queer little house was erected Inn
mediately. 1t was speculation, for
there is nothing to show that the own
er ever lived there.
The house gained its fame from its
peculiar facade, which was unlike any
thing In the city, and from the anec-
dote which connects Mrs. Darrach
with the place. The great preacher
Whitefeld is said to have addressed
the multitudes from the balcony on
either his sixth or seventh visit to this
country-1763 or 1859.
The Revolution had long since been
over and most of the patriots in their
graves before the tale of Mrs. OAR
rach's bold adventure, which is beliey-
ed to have saved Washington and his
army from capture by the British, be-
came known. In the first number of
the first volume of the American Quar-
terly Review, issued in March, 1927,
the tale was told for the first time
There it is credited to Gardens Anec-
dotes of the American Revolution"
The author of the story in the Amer
lean Quarterly Review, however. must
have had access to Major Gardens
manuscript for the story was not
published in his book until the second
series was issued in the latter part of
the year 1S2S-Philadelphi Ledger.
Proof Of Brains. q
Mr.. Travers, the famous New York
wit, once met at dinner a pompous
Englishman who was doing" the
States. He had letters a-plenty attest
ing his mportance-letters from Glad
stone, Dixie, Salisbury and Churchill.
He had talked everybody tired before
the dinner began, and Travers saw
visions of bad meal when he dis
covered the Englishman to be his
neighbor at the table. There was new
er stop in the fellows tongue. When
the oysters were brought on he be-
gan: "Now, 1t is a question as to
whether or not the oyster has brains.
Scientists dispute the idea" ''T-t-t-they
certainly have some,' retorted Travers.
Your proof, sirp' challenged the Brit
on, eager for argument. "W-wh-wh-
why, sir, the o-o-oyster knows h-hah-
how to shut up"

THE PIANOS SOUL.
It Is Impaired to the Instrument by
the "Scale.n


every piano factory" said a piano
manufacturer, employs what we pi-
ano men call scale 1t would be too
long for me to explain to you all about
1t, but in piano making the scale is
the man who after all else has been
done imparts to the piano its soul.
81 cannot tell you how they do it.
They do not know themselves, and no
man can teach another. 1t is born, like
all art. The scales are very few and
hard to get, and we pay them hand
some wages. But they are as difficult
to manage as the great tenors of grand
opera and as sensitive as women. Like
all artists, they are forever squabbling
among themselves about little things,
and, as you may guess, jealousy is
their besetting evil.
But / have not yet explained what
the scale does. When a piano is all
strung and tuned and ready to leave
the factory, the scale sits down to 1t
all alone and screws it to pitch. His
ear is so true, his hand so fine and his
sense of the reasons for sound is SO
delicate and exquisite that when he
has finished his work that which was
a mere box containing strings has be-
come voice that can sing If you know
how to make 1t sing. The scale has
given 1t soul-a part of his own
soul" New York World.

The chief thing in the average Amer
lean novel is the amazing vitality of
the author He writes always at the
top of his voice, His strenuousness is
unceasing. The reader can almost see
the swollen VEINS on his forehead, the
tight drawn mouth and flashing eye.
1t is do it or die And he never knows
where to stop. With his feverish anx-
iety to make points he does not seem
to realize when he has achieved his
purpose and frequently fizzles out in
effectively. He has ideas. He has
vast quantities of material. He has a
command of language, a fatal fuency
that frequently leads to his downfall,
for he lacks sense of values. He
lacks self restraint. He is full of
tricks and artfulness. but he is not an
artist.-London Saturday Review.

OFFICERS AND SADDLES.
jefferson Davis and a Joke He Did
Not Annreciate

Not Appreciate.
When jefferson Davis was secretary
of war he ordered all his generals to
learn to rice horseback. No finer horse
man than Jefferson Davis ever lived.
He won the love and hand of Zach
Taylor's daughter by his distinguished
presence in the saddle, as well as by
his intrepidity at the lannon's mouth.
When secretary of war he noticed that
only few officers in the service were
capable horsemen and issued an order
something like this:
"A liberal reward will be paid to any
officer or private in the army who will
offer satisfactory device for keeping
our soldiers from falling out of their
saddles. Communications to the secre-
tary of war will be regarded as conf
