AFTER MOLLY PITCHER NOW.

The wreckers of history have now
got after dear old Molly Pitcher as
might have been expected after the
attacks that have been made on the
fame of Betsy Ross and even the ride
of Paul Revere. AS the reading of
Revolutionary history is recalled the
picture of Molly in connection with
the battle of Monmouth becomes
vivid one She carried water amid
great dangers to the wearied soldiers.
and. finally, when. her husband fell on
the field OF battle. she took the ram
rod from his stiffening fingers and
served the cannon with telling effect.
That was the pose she is pictured in
short skirted, streaming hair, a look
of grim determination on her smoke
begrimed face.
But along comes a venerable old
woman of Carlisle, Pa, who says she
remembers Molly, and, strange to say.
credits her as being a true parsonage,
the only discrepancy being that her
name was Molly McCauley instead OF
Molly Pitcher. The aged Carlisle wo-
man recalls the heroine's figure, her
garb, her rough quick ways and her
thrilling story of the battle. Two
Pennsylvania attorneys became so i'm
pressed with the story that they have
reproduced the venerable woman's
"reminiscences in the form of a sworn
statement. So. for the romance of his
tory. it is well that Molly can still re-
tain her place in the patriotic picture
that it has been customary to paint,
but, alas, she is robbed of her grand
old name.
