French Peasants, Odd Business,

I'm France, at this season." said a
bird dealer, "the banks of the

ants, men and women, smoking chat

They keep the blaze going all
night, and at dawn, behold! the
ground is an inch or two deep with
May flies, fireflies, moths-little crea-
lures that, expecting some unknown
and divine sensation, flew out of the
darkness into those clear and gemlike
flames, futtered forth again in agony,
fell and died.

the like."-New Orleans Times-Dem-

~AAeds Revolutionary Heroine

1859 she married John Hays, who
was a barber. He became an arttl-
leryman in December, ITS. The
story Is told that his wife was with
his troop at Fort Clinton, on the Hud-
son, in November, 1777, when that
f%ortifcation was assaulted and taken
by the British. The American garri-
son fed IN such haste that Hays
dropped a lighted match, with which
he was about to touch off a cannon.
and his wife picked up the match and
put it to the touchhole of the gun,
and so fired the last shot before the

KILLS SISTER AND HERSELF.
Girl Was Worn Out With a Mothers
Duties and RESPONSIBILITIES.

Springfield, Ill.-Carrying her sis
ter Carrie, a hopeless cripple only
seven years old, in her arms to a Sc
cluded spot, Cora Leaderbrand, sew
enteen years old, daughter of a pros
porous farmer four miles south Of
this city, shot her little charge
through the brain and then killed
herself. Their bodies were found
side by side, with evidence that In
her death struggle Cora had tried to
kiss her dead sister.
There Is no doubt-as to the motive
that prompted the girl to the double
tragedy. She was overcome with de-
preston at the prospect Of having to
ARE indefinitely for the tiny cripple.
Joseph Leaderbrand, the father, said
that Cora always was content until a
couple of months ago when a youth
came counting. Then the girl became
restless because, as she explained to
her father, she could not go to dances
and parties like other girls, but there
never was a suspicion she would re-
sort to murder and suicide.

PENSION roll SMALLER.
EXPENSE of New Service Law Much
Less Than Expected.

Washington, D. C.-The pension
roll and its expense to the Nation
have begun to decrease, notwith-
standing the service pension act OF
the last Congress, which temporarily
added less than $15,000,O00 to the
expenditures.
Officials of the Pension Bureau,
legislators and others interested in
the new law are expressing surprise
at the remarkably small number OF
old soldiers applying for pensions
under 1t who have not been drawing
pensions previously. So small is the
number that the law will prove far

Until they went one glorious Fourth
To see the men parading.

The horses footsteps clattered;,
While rafting drums, exploding bombs,
Along the line were scattered;
And noisy boys fired crackers big
Till every nerve was shattered.
@Oh. everything is popping, Georgc!"
She said with eyes that hirted.

And something to her blurtcd-
Then heard through din of noisy Fourth

the part they played. Some have
figured in mans attire IN both the
army and the navy, and for all whose
identity became disclosed there were
doubtless many others who preserved
the secret of their sex, despite the
proverbial tendency of feminine mem
bers of society to make known the
facts which should be most sedulous-
iy concealed.
OF the American women VINO lave
taken part in warlike scenes, none Is
! more widely known than "Mollie
Pitcher" the heroine of Monmouth.
This battle vas one of the important
conflicts Of the Revolution, and was
fought in the summer Of ITS, whe
the British troops, ~retreating from
Philadelphia, were overtaken n at
tackled in New Jersey by the CONT
mental forces under Washington. AL
though no decisive result occurred
from the battle, the fact that the
American forces were not repulsed
by the foreign foe gave heart to the
colonies to continue the efforts be-
gun two years before, and which were
to last five years longer before sue
cess was attained. In the troops
from Pennsylvania was John Hays,
a gunner in the First Artillery. Con-
tinental line. He had been accom-
panied by his wife when the troops
to which he belonged had been sent
to the field, and she busted herself in
doing laundry work for the officers.
On that July day, when the fight
ragged on the New Jersey plain, the
thermometer standing at ninety-six
4 degrees in the shade, Mrs. Mary Hays
| busted herself in carrying water 10 a
pitcher frcm a spring to the hot and
wearied troops. Here's Molly with
the pitcher" was frequently heard
from the thirsty Continentals, and
finally it was abbreviated to Here,
Molly Pitcher" and the sobriquet was
permanently substituted for her real
name when she displayed %gallantry
and heroism which surpassed her lin
ttations of e y.
The company in which Hays was
fighting and in which he was a ram
mer was stationed IN rising ground
between the brigades commanded by
Livingston and Varnum. In D dash
by British cavalry and infantry Hays
was shot down, but not killed, and a
call was made for some one to fill
his place. No man appeared, but his
wife, dropping the pitcher, picked up
the hammer which her husband had
held, and said she would avenge him.
She served with the smoking cannon
throughout the rest of the battle, and
her courage was commended by the
kseasoned troops. The next day the
8brave woman, with her garments
still soiled with the smoke of battle,
was summoned by General Greene,
who took her to Washington, by
whom her gaIlantry was praised and
who gave her a commission as a SER
geant, under which she wore a cooked
hat and the insignia of her rank.
After her husbands death she con-
tinued to serve in the army, and she
was finally placed in the list of half
pay officers.

Isle, Pa, in October, 1744. Her
maiden name was Mary Ludwig, and
