CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. W.. MACY.
THE FATHER OF THE AMER
lCAN REVOLUTION.

There was one man connected
with the American Revolution
whose memory does not r csive
the attention II deserves. His
name Is Samuel Adams. He did
more to bring on the war than
any other man. The thirteen
colonies were widely separated.
There was no concerted action,
and they often worked at crosse
purposes. Adams developed a
system Of correspondence among
them, which resulted In uniting
them In opposition to the tyran-
nIes OF the mother country. For
twelve years, from 1894 to ITS,
he kept up an uneeasIng aaita-
ton. He literally threw him
self, body and soul, into the
work Of arouslns the colonies.
He was not . great man per-
haps, but he did . great work
nevertheless He was not eIo-
quent, but he was persistent.
His mission was to put others
to work, and In this he was WON
derfuIly successful. He had a
discerning eye for young men
OF ability, and many who became
leaders In the Revolution were
discovered" and set to work
by him. He has been called the
father Of the Revolution, and
why not? As one Of his bloa-
raphers says, Massachusetts,
led the colonies, Boston led
Massachusetts,, and Sam Adams
led Boston," Bernard, the Eng
lish governor Of Massachusetts,
colony, used to say: "Damn
that Adams. Every dip Of his
pen stings like a horned snake"

And then the answer came. 1t took

bench directly behind Mr.. Grimm.
Senorita Rodriguez Jumped. then
laughed, nervously.
1T startled me- she explained.
II think there must be a draft from
the conservatory" said a mans voice
apologetically. do you ladies feel it,
No? Well, II you'll excuse me-
Mr.. Grimm glanced back languidly.
The speaker raj Charles Winthrop
Rankin, a brilliant young American
lawyer who was attached to the Ger
man embassy in an advisory capacity.
Among other things he was a Heidel-
berg man.. having spent some dozen
years of his, life in Germany, where
he established influential connections.
Mr.. Grimm knew him only by sight.
And now the rhythmical tapping Of
Miss Thorne's fan underwent a
Change. There was a iutter of gaiety
in her voice the while the ivory fan
tapped steadily.
"Dot-dot-dot! Dash! Dash-dash-
dash! Dot-dot-dash! DASH"
"s-t-5-u-t," Mr.. Grimm read in
Morse. He laughed pleasantly at
some remark of his companion.
-pash-dash. Dot-dash! Dash-dot!"
said the fan.
"M-a-n." Mr.. Grimm spelled it
out. the while his ~listless eyes roved
aimlessly over the throng. "S-t-s-
Ut m-a-n!" Was 1t meant for
-'stout man." Mr.. G.hmm wondered.
"Dot-dash-dot! Dot! Dash-dot-dot!'
"F-e-d,"t that was.
"Dot-dot-dash-dot! Dot-aash! Dash
dot-dash-dot! Dot"
"Q-a+j-e," Mr.. Erimm was
puzzled a little now, but there was not
a wrinkle, nor the tiniest indication Of
perplexity In his face. Instead he be-
gan talking of Raphael's cherubs, the
remark being called into life by the
high completion of a young man who
was passing. Miss Thorne glanced at
him keenly, her splendid eyes fairly
aglow, and the fan ratified on in the

@Ne-eLa-f." Mr.. Grimm was still
spelling it out.
Then came a perfect tumble. Mr..
Grimm followed it with difficulty, .
difficulty utterly belied by the quizzi-
cal lines about his mouth. AS he
caught it, it was like this: "J-5-n-
s-e-f-v-a-t--5-f,H followed by
an arbitrary signal which is not in the
Morse code: 'Dash-do-dash-dash!"
Mr.. Grimm carefully stored that
along with the unknown signal.
"DE-5-5-fSs he read, and then on
to the. end: "B-f-i-n-g 5-v-e-
vrh-e-n g g-5-e-s." !
That was all, apparently. The soft
of the fan against the arm of
the chair ran ON m~eaninglessly after
that.
May I bring you an ice?' Mr..
asked at last.
IF you will, please" responded the
senorita, and when you come back
I'll reward you by presenting you to
Miss Thorne. You'll find her charm

sweepstakes: CD for 10 ears of white
dent corn; CD for the best single ear Of
white dent corn; go for the best single
ear of flint corn; and (4) for the best
six-row barley.
The Wisconsin exhibit was made

Eleven Women Farmers in
Experiment Association.

That interest in agriculture is no
longer confined to men alone is demon
strated by the fact that eleven women
are members of the Wisconsin Agricul-
tural Experiment Association, which
was originated by graduates Of the
College Of Agriculture Of the University
of Wisconsin for the purpose of improv-
ing farm methods in the state.
Nine of these women have been stu
dents Of the college Of agriculture,
while two have had membership con
ferred upon them because of their
active interest in progressive agricul-
ture.
The names of the women members
include the following: Grace M. Ar
mott, Stevens Point; Alvina l.. Austin,
Evansville; Charlotte Boyce, Dane;
Ruth E. Burce. Eau Claire; Winifred
Cook, Deer Park; Fay H. Corley, Tower
Hill, H., Mrs. G.. @. Durand, Lake

Rabies Victims Saved by Pas
teur Institute.

That 1876 persons bitten by rabid ami
mails in Wisconsin have been treated
during the past fourteen months at the
Pasteur institute established in Connec-
ton with the hygienic laboratory at the
University of Wisconsin, is shown by
the report of DR.. M. P. Ravenel, head of
the department of bacteriology at the
state university, who is director of the
laboratory.
Over 170 animals supposed to have
suffered from hydrophobia, were ex-
amined by the laboratory experts, and
the spread of the dread disease has
been curbed to a considerable extent.
The patients bitten by rabid animals
cam from 81 cities and towns in the
state. Six persons are under treatment
at the present time at the laboratory.
1t was intended to treat all Wisconsin
residents free of charge but as the last
Legislature cut down the proposed APP
preparation for the hygienic laboratory
it has been necessary to charge each
patient $25. If the present legislature
provides an ample appropriation, the
treatment for ~hydrOphobia will be fur
niShed without cost to the citizens of
Wisconsin.

All Nursery Agents Must be
Licensed.

Farmers and fruit growers are eau
toned by State Nursery Inspector j. e.
Sanders Of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin not to
buy nursery stock from any dealer or
agent who cannot produce a Wisconsin
license valid from Oct. 1, 1910 to Oct. 1,
1911. Nursery stock sold by unlicensed
parties is subject to confiscation by the
state authorities.
Professor Sanders states that there
are many agents working in the state
who have not yet secured their licenses.
They are being warned that compliance
with the state nursery inspection law
will be enforced. This law, as passed
in June, 1909, requires that all nursery
men, dealers and agents selling or hand
ling nursery stock shall obtain a proper
license from the state nursery inspector.
