Frank B. Hills, first selectman of
Thomaston, hitched up in front of the
Rockland postoffice day or two ago
with "pedigreed carriage"-the one
in which Washington's first secretary
of war used to ride. The carriage was
built in Boston 100 years ago and
was the private carriage of Mai. Gen.
Henry Knox. secretary under the first
president. and not only is 1t one OF the
most historic vehicles in the United
States, but 1t is also probably the old
est able bodied private carriage in ex-
istence on the continent. In spite of
its 130 years, quaint substantial We
hfcle It is. Gen. Knox no doubt had
1t made. Just as history tells 1t, in
Boston, for there were no carriage
builders in Thomaston in those early
days. and as Gen. Knox operated

THE OUSE
ON THE HILL
By NJ QUAD
BY NJ QUAD
Copyright. 1910, by Associated Lit
erary Press.

The house and the hill we're situated
In a town in the state Of Ohio. The
hill is there yet, but there is no house
on it. Twenty years ago a stranger
went to the town and bought the hill
and built a frame house there. When
the house was about completed he
died. 1t was q decaying wreck when
along came a MI. Bushwick from no
one knew where and bought the prop
erty for 500. AS soon as he had the
deed he offered it to any villager for
$500 and was laughed at as weak in
the top story.
Failing to effect a sale, Mr.. Bushwick
had the house put in repair and an
nounced that he intended to live there.
He also announced that he should use
it as an observatory. OF course the
villagers knew what an observatory
was. When MI. Bushwick's telescope
and tripod arrived and were set up on
the veranda he permitted the villagers
to have a look-not at the heavens. but
at the earth. They could almost see
the housefies in the town beneath
their feet.

when all was ready. "the price Of this
