The Barbara Friechie Legend.

n answer to an inquiry, l would say
that Mr.. Whittier's famous poem about
Barbara Frtetch!e, who waved a Union
nag at StoneWal Jackson when he led
the Confederate troops through the streets
Of Frederick Nd : was based upon a let
t..r giving an account of that incident
written to him by Mrs K. d L. n. South
worth from her cottage in Georgetown.
D. c., July q, 1888. Mrs. Southworth
was personally acquainted with faipara
t'I:et chic, and her letter to MIR. whittier
contained a descr'rt, ton OF the Il -iiling
Eceue as given he" by friends and neigh
bors ct Frederick, without any iuea or eX-
pectaron or desire oe obtaining notoTiety
To- the heroine. Mr.. Whittier published
the cir, umstances in a letter TO The
Dial" II. 1915. when Ms. Mary A GUAM
trell of Frederick, Nd, claimed that In
justice mad been cone her. because She
had dis iaved Union flag 10 the Confed-
crate column in defiance Of their threats
TO shco- ner. In this letter the poet in his
gentle. generous way, expresses MS graft
6rStlon al learning of Mrs QuantrclIs 5
courage, and at the same time confirms
the original story as given TO him by Mrs
Sout hWcrth.
In Mr.. WhittIer's home at Amesbury
Mass. may be found several :ouvenirs
gent to Mr.. Whittier by Barbara Frietchte
herself. The poet and his heroine eX-
changed letters several times.

House In the Right Spot.
About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased 10y the Boston and
Maine that portion OF the old road be-
tween Swampscott and Salem was In
charge of Section Foreman Timothy
Moynahan.
His strongest point was In doing
Just as he was told and doing that
with energy and accuracy. So when
he was notified from Beverly by Road
master Stevens that the section lengths
were to he changed and that he was to
move his tool house from the westerly
end OF Salem yard to halfway between
milcposts Is and 10 he started out with
the determination to move the house
halfway. no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta
toned one OF his men at mileDOst Is
and another at milepost 18. and at
signal they started to walk toward
each other until they met. and to
point opposite their meeting place the
shanty was moved. This method OF
getting the correct distance did not
quite suit Moynahan, especially when
he remembered that one of the walk
ers was taller than the other and the
other tripped several times on the way
down.
He carried this in his mind for near
ly n year. when he met the engineers
measuring through for signals and
asked them to tell him as they meas
ured If his house was just halfway or
not
When the measurement was taken,
the house wns found to be sixty feet
nearer milepost 16 than 10. and Moyua-
han. on being told. remarked that no
thought he could fix things just right.
Later In the year the engineer met
Moynahan in Salem and asked him II
his tool house was now halfway be-
tween the mileposts.
ut is" he replied. Its just half
way"
"Did you. have much trouble moving
it!''

Just as good as Peach Blossom. >
This is remark one often hears made
by merchants who sell flour on which
they make larger profit than Peach
Blossom bears. That is just it; Peach
Blossom is recognized as the best and
if flour is represented just as good as
Peach Blossom they think that ought
to satisfy the customer. Do not be
deceived. No other -four is quite so
good, else Peach Blossom would not
have been awarded the prize at the
