More than an hour elapsed before they
could rally for the third attack. They
had already lost nearly a thousand men.
while the Americans had suffered little.
The first volley OF the Americans. az this
third charge. swept down their front
ranks as before But as the ASSISTANTS
neared the crest of the hill they noted
the siackening of the American fire and
Howe determined to charge with the
bayonet. The Americans were without
bayonets to their muskets and the fight
was now an unequal one. but with
dubbed muskets and stones they made
valiant stand Scores OF them were
cut down, until Gen. Prescott, the COM
mander, seeing the folly OF the struggle,
ordered a retreat and the British were
left in possession OF the field
The victory won at Bunker Hill was a
costly one to the British. When the
patriots powder ran out Howe had them
at his mercy. He might have slaughtered
them by the hundred. Instead, to his
eternal credit. he ordered a halt and let
the brave Yankees get away in safety.
When he was later blamed for this
he said simply;
MY orders were to take the hill I
took it."
He is said to have added: Three
more such victories will drive the Brit
ish out of America" Bunker Hill taught
Americans a lesson that spelled 'Liber-
ty."

adopt this custom in some of your hotels
In this city. I know of a quaint idea
for providing funds for pienies and social
evenings that is practiced at one OF these
Scotch inns. 4 knocking club is con-
nected with the inn, and when a Gus
toner calls for refreshments he is eX-
pected to knock on the table before
drinking. If he fails TO do so he Is
fined one penny. Any one who wrong
fully accuses another OF breaking this
unique rule is also fined The money
thus obtained provides funds for many
enjoyable meetings apd pleasant even
ings in a year.
AT another hotel added Mr.. Johnson,
known as the Old Hundred a Gus
toner is allowed only one drink. II one
is not sufficient to quench his thirst he
is Obliged TO go out of the hotel and

He had been to college, had spent

The two people who appear In the

that these are the facts in their lives,
says Life. Every novelist who has
written about them has misrepresent-
ed these facts, distorted the truth.
They are getting tired of 1t. They
want to have every one know that
they are not the sort OF people that
(here fill in list Of popular novel
ists) have written about them. They
never did anything extraordinary.
They never expect to. An Injustice
has been done them. We therefore
