Indian war, which eliminated In the
ascendency of British rule in Canada,
The march of Braddock through the
wilderness to the bloody gorges Of the
Monongahela stands out as the most
tragic event of that struggle.
On n of the back streets Of Fred

building, with quaint little windows
and narrow doors, the whole forming
to-day a tout ensemble Of loneliness
and dilapidation. The owl and the
bat make it Their abode, the roof Is
sadly in need of repairs and the only
evidence Of modernism that prevails
about it is the little cabbage garden
between 1t and the street. A move
ment has been started looking to the
restoration Of this historical house,
which at n time sheltered our first
president and II is possible that some
day it may be restored to It's original
appearance.
The city Of Winchester. Va, holds
within its keeping on the corner OF
Cork n Braddock streets q small
stone house which represents another
phase of Washington's career. He was
then the idol Of the colonies, for his
gallantry during the Braddock cam,

into the limelight of the day.
The little house which he occupied

preservation for years to come.
1t is a far cry in Washington's life
from Winchester to the final campaign
at Yorktown, where the American rev
olution met with its browning success
Washington was now at the pinnacle
Of his fame as a soldier and the star
of hope for the colonies was brighten,

Washington was surrounded by such

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the ~well-known
Scotsman Of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say II
Is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well.known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short seaso of Northwestern Canada
it is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. s. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. s. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per

Judge Morrow, of u. s. Circuit

Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five

When Washinuton SWore.

did you ever know that Washing
ton had n of the closest calls of his
life within a stones throw of Times
square," remarked a New Yorker to
an out-of-town visitor. There's the
record of tan adventure hat came
near changing the history of the coun-
try"
The New Yorker pointed to a bronze
tablet on the row of houses facing
Times square above Forty-third street.
1t seems that in the revolution the
redcoats were Selling Manhattan and
the Americans were getting out as
fast as they could, bag and baggage.
Times square was open farm land
then, and the fugitives came up Broad
way or Bloomingdale road. Gen. Put
nam and his men were nearly caught
by the British, but got away and were
coming up the road when Washington
met them.
THE Father of His Country let out
a string OF curses and tried to stop
them. The man who wrote histories
hasn't the nerve to set down what he
said, but he could swear like a trooper
when he got started. Putnam's men
were so scared. though, that they kept
on running. Washington was wild
with rage, and galloped away with his
staff across the fields. Where Bryant
park now is, he ran into so redcoats
and would have been taken II his COM
panions hadn't pulled him back. What
would have happened II Washington
had been made a prisoner?"-New

Washington's Headquarters, Wlnches-
ter, Va.
within its walls were laid the plans
for the defeat of Lord CORVALLIS.
It was q brilliant military court that
Washington held at Williamsburg, al
most within a stones throw of Will
liam and Mary college, the alma ma
ter Of Jefferson, Henry and other dis
tinguished Americans, and but a few
steps from the house, now in ruins,
where he courted the Widow Custis."
1t was from the Williamsburg house
that Washington set out for York
town, leading the allied armies
through the forests to the eliminating
triumph.
There Is perhaps in this country no
place richer in historical associations
than Williamsburg, which was the Co
lonial capital Of Virginia. 1t is con-
nected with great events from the ear
lest settlements to the civil war. Not
least among them is the gathering Of
the Americans and French for the last
campaign Of the revolution. 1t wit
messed the preparation of the trap
that caught CORVALLIS and the bril-.
liant reception Of the French officers
by Washington. And it is a source of
qualification that the headquarters Of
the First American, one of his last in
the field, is so well preserved, rising
to-day in its original appearance above
the tender roses Of a southern CLINE.

hess house in one of our great West

did for him:
my wife and I drank our first cup
Of Postum a little over two years ago,
and VIC have used it eve since, to the
entire exclusion Of tea and coffee. It
happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
I had ar attack Of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dyspep-
sia, or rather, to speak more correctly,
neuralgia o. the stomach. My cup Of
cheer had always been coffee or tea,
but l became convinced, after a time,
that they aggravated my stomach trou-
BILE. I happened to mention the mat
ter to my grocer one day and he sug-
gested that I give Postum a trial.
Next day 1t came, but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it suffi Gent
ly, and we did not like it much. This
was, however, soon remedied, and now
we like 1t so much that we will never
change back. Postum, being a food
beverage instead Of a drug, has been
the means of curing my stomach trou-
BILE, I verify believe, for l am a well
man today and have used no other
remedy.
my work as chief bookkeeper in our
Co.'s branch house here Is Of a very
conining nature. During my coffee
drinking days l was SUBJECT to nerv.
pushes and the blues in edition to

Who Are the Eiect2

Two modern statements of the doc

would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist.
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl,

The elect are whatsoever will; the
non-elect are ~whosoeyer won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex,
PLANTATION that is a star of equal mag,

devil, he is always voting against him,
Then the man himself votes, and that

The Tooth anniversary celebration Of
the Methodist church at Denyille be-

tinued Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs

18th. There was preaching the open
ing Sunday by Revs. Jesse L. Hurlbut,.
district superintendent, and 7. E.
Gordon.
The first Methodist services in the
vicinity Of Denville were held in the
home of Jacob Demouth at Powerville
in 1855. Later. the residence of John
p. Cook, now the Norris place on the
back road TO Boontan, became the wor-
shipping place. In 1901 it was included
in the Eizabethtown circuit and Solo
mon Sharp, John Totten and Henry
Clark we're the circuit preachers.
Thirteen years later the society
erected a church at Cooks corner, now
Cooper's corner, near the sanitarium
on the Boonton back road, but the
deed for the site, quarter of an acre,
was not executed until 1926. The
church was then in the Parsippany
circuit and latter became attached to
the Rockaway circuit. It is believed
that Bishop Francis Asbury was among
the pioneer preachers.

YOUNG MEN SHOULD TAKE A
HAND IN POLITICS.

That every young man should take
an actiYe interest in politics was the
advice which State Senator Thomas J .
Hillery gave in connection with lee
ture on The Better Element in Poll
tics, which he delivered at the East
side Presbyterian church, Paterson,
Friday evening, May 9Th, before a
large and appFeciatiye audience.
" i never saw the time when the peo-
Pile could not control things, said Mr.
Hillery. Talk won't do it. You CAM
beat practical methods by impractical
methods. Ii you want to succeed you
viii have to give your time, your
energy and yours brains to the work.
1t is by this means that the practical
boss is successful. II you want TO beat
him you will have to pitch 10 and work
and cease the criticism Of him ia your
homes and your church.
Every good man who joins party"
said Mr.. Hillery in conclusion, and
takes a hand in the work is an ele
ment for the betterment of the party
and means for the publication Of
politics, for his association cannot help
but make things better. He must 20
to the primaries and when the can
didates of the party have been named
he should go out TO work for them.
Most Of the criticism of things polit-
ical, SO far as my experience goes,
comes from people who know least
about it.
