taken, and sent for Wayne. To Wayne's
mind the project was foOlhardy, but he
decided to make the attempt. With his
light infantry corps he went to the
highlands of the Hudson and for fifteen
days he studied the problem. No one
but he and Washington knew that he
intended TO attack the fort. So eau
tiously did he work that the British
had no idea of what was impending

that he led his men across the cause

net Only one company had muskets
loaded. These men, it was planned,
should create a diversion Il front as
soon as the attack was discovered and
then the bayoneting forces, I'm two
bodies, should scale the heights on
either side. Wayne had ordered that
any man who tried to turn back should
be killed. To the first five men into the
fort he promised prizes-S50O to the
first, $500 to the second, $500 to the
third, $500 to the fourth and 500 to the
fifth.
The World Astounded.
The Americans were crossing the
causeway when they were discovered
by the sentries. Soon they were sub
jected to a furious fire. But while the
fire was centred on the men I'm front the
bayOneting parties were climbing the

Stony Point.
Wayne returned TO the army in June,
1779. Washington had been pursuing
his Fabian tactics and the British en-
deavored to draw him from New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania to the east side
of the Hudson river, hoping when they
got him east of the Hudson to destroy
his stores at Easton, Pa. Preliminary
to this Sir Henry Clinton had taken
possession of various points on the
Hudson. The small American force at
Stony Point had abandoned that place

Of the fort they were met by the party
that had climbed the heights from the
opposite direction. How admirably the
attack was planned and executed may
be imagined from the fact that the
American loss was only fifteen killed
and eighty-three wounded, while the
British loss was sixty-three killed and
543 wounded or made prisoners. Wayne
was among the wounded, being shot in
the head. He thought the wound was
mortal and he asked to be carried into
the fort that ne might die at the head
of his men.
The capture Of Stony Point caused a
tremendous sensation. not only
throughout America, but I'm Europe.
The world applauded il as one Of the
most brilliant exploits in military his

that even they heaped praise on

was magnificent. Here is the way IL

SHAKE IN A BOTTLE.

Now is the time when tie doctor gets busy and the patent medicine manufacturers reap the harvest, un- less great care is taken to dress warmly and keep the feet dry. This is the advice of an old eminent au- thCrity, who says that rheumatism and kidney trouble weather is here, and also tells what to do in case of an attack.
 Get from any goCu prescription pharmacy one-half ounce fluid Ex- tract of Dandeli0n, one ounce Com pound Kargon, three ounces of Com pound Syrup SaTsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take a tea spoonful after meals and at bedtime.
 Just try this simple homemade mixture at the first sign of rheuma- tism, or if your back aches or you feel that the kidneys are not acting just right. This is said to be a splen- did kidney regulator, and almost cer- tain remedy for all forms of rheuma- ticsm, which is caused by uric a"id in the blood, which the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one can easily pre- pare this at home and at small cost.
 Druggists in this town and yiCin- ity, when shown the prescription, stated that they can either supply these ingredients, or, if our readers prefer, they will compound the mix ture for them.

 The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, inaam- nation, Liberation, fibroid tumors, ir- regularities, periodic pains, backache, bearing-down feeling, fatulency, indi- gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra- tiOn.
 For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills, and suffering women owe it to themselves to at least give this medicine a trial. Proof is abundant that it has cured thousands of others, and why should it not cure you?
