Patriek Horny and Slavery.
BY A. W. Macy.

Patrick Henry. as every school boy
knows. demanded liberty ut the top of
his voice, and his words still ring In
our ears, though his tongue has been
silent for a century. Yet Patrick
Henry owned 20 slaves. and even at
his death did not set them free. but
willed them to his wife. 1t seems
strange that so ardent an advocate OF
freedom for himself should deny 1t to
others. This question of slavery both
cred a good many of the revolutionary
leaders. Many OF them were slave
holders and to have freed their slaves
would have been to throw away a
large part OF their fortunes. Possibly
some of our latter day patriots would
hesitate under similar circumstances.
To his credit be it said that Patrick
Henry appreciated his inconsistency.
Writing of slavery. he said: Il be-
lieve u time will come when an ~
portunity will be offered to abolish this
lamentable evil. am drawn

living without them. ! will not. I can.
not. justify it, In his will he directed
that in case his wife married again
she should have nc more OF his estate
thar she could get by law. She 1
marry again, without waiting very
long: SO perhaps he might as we'll
have freed his slaves after all.

A Fire Fighting Inventor.

John Letting. a citizen Of London in
the latter part Of the 18th century,
had q passion for fighting fires. Though
a member of the fire department..
he always responded to an alarm, and
was usually one of the first to arrive
on the scene. He rendered efficient
service. but would accept no pay. He
a another and more substantial
claim to distinction. however. He was
q meta worker by trade. and in 1892
he invented a c%ontrivance to protect
the thumb while sewing. It was q
sort of ~bell-shaped cup, hence it was
called a thumbbell. In the course Of
time this was changed into the more
euphonious "thimble." The article is
nov worn on one OF the fingers while
sewing. instead of on the thumb as
formerly. though sailors stick to the
old custom. Lofting was granted a
patent for a machine to make "thumb-
bells" and he established a factory at
Islington. near London. Whether ne
still continued to fight fires history
does not say. but he made money and
laid the foundation of a fortune which
his descendants are enjoying to this
day.

"What'n in blue blazes is the matter

1t another powerful yank without be-
Ing able to open 1t.
"The trouble with you, John, dear"
the wife ventured, "is that you are
always down on everything-down in
the mouth-down ON the world. Let
me try it."
With a gentle tug upward on the
knob she easily opened the door.

Has an Old Relic Of Washinaton.


One Of the most interesting relics Of
George Washington is owned by the
city OF Salem. II is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
lntire, native genius with a gift for
portraiture. He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem oI,s his tour OF the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
10 adorn the arch over the west en-.
trance Of Washington square, Salem
Here the effigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
fireproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem. where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness Of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.
