Red-Blooded American Heroes
CUP AND ARM CRIED PAUL REVERE

/ UP AND ARM" Now and then he
would alight at some farmhouse,
pound ON the door and cry, THE
British are coming! UP and arm!"
Revere was captured, but was
released, and on foot he ran all
the way to Lexington to warn
Adams and Hancock, who thus es-
lcaped capture. Paul Revere had
saved them, as he saved also the
farms and ammunition stoerd at
Concord.
When the British. troops reached
Lexington in the early morning
they were stopped by the "embat-
tied farmers" eight of whom
dropped dead under British fire.
Then they >retreated and the Brit
ish pressed on to Concord, but
were soon forced to retire. All
along the road back to Boston a
calling fire poured upon the king Is
soldiers from every thicket and
hedge. The patriots aroused by
Paul Revere amply revenged the
dead at Lexington and the British
retreat became almost a rout.
Cup and arm! Up and arm!"
Paul Rever's midnight warning
was the cry of the colonies, bat
tie cry heard round the world,
and still ringing in the ears of
tyranny wherever the oppressed
exist-an eternal inspiration to
liberty and independence.

A hush had settled over Boston
and all New England.
1t was an ominous hush that be-
spoke the silent, labored birth OF
our nation.
John Hancock and Samuel
Adams, the leading spirits who had
aligned themselves against Great
Britain, had fled to Lexington.
Gen. Gage, with 5000 redcoats ex-
ercised military government over
the commonwealth.
The revolutionists had collected
arms and ammunition at Concord.
Their leaders knew that Gage
planned an attempt to capture the
lcontraband goods.
/ But-would the British move on
Lexington and Concord by boat, or
would they march by land?
In either event, the farmers
must be notified. Paul Revere
undertook the task. Stationing a
trusted friend in the belfry of Old
South church, overlooking the
British camp, Paul told him: eff
the British move by boat hang out
one lantern, and one one. But If
they march by land, show two Ian
terms"
With his good horse, Paul wait
ed impatient1y on the opposite
river bank, gazing at the belfry,
from whence the warning lights
should soon flash. 1t was a silent
and starlight night.
Then-there was a flicker of
light in the old belfry. One light
appeared.
Revere frightened the girth of
his saddle.
Another-yes, another light APP
peared.
1.-TWO lights" he said. "They
are coming by land"
Paul swung into the saddle and
dug his toes in the flanks of his
horse. Across the bridge he clat-
tered, and made for the highway
to Lexington.
Squirting his horse. into a run.
Revere rode out over the country
side. Dashing this way and that,

Since the conviction and i'm
prisonment for 10 years of Capt.
William II. Van Schaick, COM
mander of the Inflated steamer
General Slocum on which more
than 1000 lives were lost in June,
1904, his wife has been indie
fatigable in her efforts to secure
his freedom. Her efforts now bid
fair to succeed, for his parole is
said to be under favorable con-
|sideration.
She married Van Schaick a few
months after his conviction, while
an appeal was pending A pc
tition she circulated has over
100000 signatures. Van Schaick
is now 70 years old. He was
convicted of criminal negligence
because his crew was inefficient
and cowardly. although the cap
tain and his two mates remained
on the burning vessel until the
very last. His defense was that
his crew was green, none of them
having been with the ship a week.

Cheerfulness.

Every man carries an atmosphere
about him. Cheerfulness makes
that atmosphere sweet, wholesome
one and he who carriesit will make
some spot of this world warmer,
brighter, happier place for other
people to live in.
Addison says of cheerfuIness,
that "it lightens sickness, poverty,
attilctlon; converts ignorance into
an amiable simplicity and renders
deformity itself agreeable"
Some one else said that "Chcer-
fulness is like a stately lily h> he
wayside, which offers its beauty and
fragrance as a benediction for c;icL
passes-by." A beautiful Ioocnd
! tells how, one day in Galilec, s.c
corn spurned the lilies because they
satisfied no ones hunger. The lilies
did not resent the scorn, but with
glad hearts poured forth their fra
GRANGE and lifted their radiant faces
to the master, when he passed that
way. Pleased with their purity
and beauty he turned to his decip-
les resting there and said: "Child-
rem, the'lif is more than meat.
Consider the lilies, how they grow"
Let us, like the lily, always try
to dispense happiness and cherr to
all about us. Often oursky s.. ,
overcast and dark, but we she.
remember behind the cloud t,
sun is still shining" Soon t.
cloud will pass away and the Iis;.t
will seem brighter for having been
momentary dimmed.
We little realize the good we can
do in the world by being cheerful.
A CHEEKY word spoken is like peb-
BILE dropped into the ocean. 1t
sinks and we see it no more. But
that little wear caused by it goes
n forever, touching every shore by
"n"h that ocean is bounded. So
WITH tl'N CHEEKY word, it may be
spoken unc>~sciously, yet its in
1luence goes on I'D on reaching
many hearts long aft~. # has left
us.
To be full of goodness Gauss ono
to carry blessing of which he "a
as unconscious as is a lamp of its
own shining. The value of one
such cheerful life in our midst is
jmmeasureable. 1t touches all with
its calming influence.
