There is nobody they believe in and
trust as they do Americans in Turkey.
They know that we have no selfish
ends in view there. We do not want
any of their territory; we are not
going to try to overthrow the Turkish
government; and they understand fully
that what we are doing there we are
doing for their good. They may think
we make mistakes, but they know we
are honest, and they know we are do

A New Version,

Apropos of George Washington and
the cherry tree story, Senator Bever-
idge said at dinner in Indianapolis:
Il asked little boy what this story
was the other day, and he actually
didn't know. He said he knew, though,
the story about the judgment of Solo
mon, and he proceeded to tell it to me.
Solomon" he said, was very wise
man. One day two women went to
him, quarreling about baby. The first
woman said, 1T is my child The Sec
ond said, No, it is mine
But Solomon spoke up and de.
clared:
mo, no, ladies; do not quarrel.
Give me my sword and I will make
twins of him, so that each of you will
be supplied"

any reason to believe that the child is

DELueE AT HARpwIcK
Highest Water in River During Sum-
rner in 20 Years.

Hardwiek, May 27.-In what was
probably the worst rain storm in 20
years, heavy damage resulted in this
place Wednesday evening.
The storm lasted only about an
hour and a half but was a perfect
deluge and it is said that not since
the storm of 20 years ago has the wat
er been as high except when the ice
was going out of the river.
There was a washout on the road
to East Hardwick, three small
bridges being carried away, one on
the Alder brook road. The road on
Wheatly hill was wiped out and high
ways everywhere in this vicinity were
badly damaged.
Considerable damage resulted in
this village. The big dynamo at the
power house which furnishes power
for the village was burned out and
the village was played into darkness.
The Woodbury. Granite Co. was OBJ
liged to suspend work on account Of
high water.

BIRTHPLACE OF WEBSTER
Monument Marking the Site at Frank
lin. N. b.. is IN Wrong Place


Franklin, n. H., May 26.-Frank
Proctor of this town makes an inter-
esting statement concerning the birth
place of Daniel Webster. He says
that the stone monument marking the
site of the birthplace is in the wrong
place.
The late George w. Nesmith Of
Franklin, in his will provided that a
monument should be erected on the
birthspot of his illustrious friend
Webster Mr.. Proctor says:
1T seems incredible that Miss An
ME Nesmith, executrix OF her fathers
will, herself a member Of the New
Hampshire Historical society, should
have mislocated the birthspot. Such,
however is undoubtedly the fact.
THE rustic stone monument which
she caused to be set up is on the site
of the log cabin which Daniels faith
er, Ebenezer Webster, in 1851 planted
on the outskirts OF civilization IL is
we'll known that Daniel and his
brother, Ezekiel, were not born in
this log cabin but in the west front
room of frame house which was
erected seven years after the cabin
and stood diagonally across the road
to the northeast, near the large elm
and the well. The field stones which
formed the cellar walls still mark
the spot.
in 1899 the year before Judge Ne
smiths death, he told my father that
Daniel recollected running across the
road with some OF his elder brothers
or sisters barefooted to sleep in the
log cabin, the house in which he was
born being at times overcrowded."
