officer accompanied his new acquaint-
ance aboard the American vessel.
Rodgers greeted him courteously, and
then asked:
do you know what ship you are
aboard Off"
, why, yes" responded the British
officer; lit is his majesty's ship, Sea-
horse" .e..
did you ever hear of a vessel
called The President" inquired
Rodgers:
Indeed l have" replied the unsus-
pecting Englishman THAT is the
craft we are supposed to take"
well, The, President has taken
you." smiled Rodgers !,
The full truth of the ruse by which
he had been betrayed flashed at once
saw that he was helpless. The crew
Of The President were at quarters
ready for instant action, and the
Highfyer lay at their mercy under
the frowning muzz1es Of the Ameri.
can guns. There was nothing for it
but to submit as gracefully as pos
sible. Rodgers ordered the British
colors struck, and soon the stars and
stripes f1oated in the breeze over
both vessels. The sword worn by
Hutchinson. the English commander
was the personal property of Rodgers
taken amidst other plumber at the
burning Of Hayre de Grace, but
destined to be returned to the owner
in token of the surrender of one of |
his majesty's crack 'sea-fghters. /
The Highfiyer was taken captive: to
the American shore, and the country
once again rang with the praises OF
the dashing and ingenious Rodgers.
To Rodgers and The President also
belongs the peculiar distinction . of
having fought for 80 hours in abso-
lutte daylight. This is explained by

tion-Easy to Arrange.

In a country where big timber is
plenty decoy hives will stand a poor
chance of catching anything, Ibut
where timber is small and scarce and
bees are consequently hard up fdr a
place to locate, decoy hives will prove
a paying proposition, says a writer in
the Michigan Farmer. As there is
nothing about them but what any.
farmer can easily arrah ge, there is no
reason why the man living In such
place should not. be supplied with
bees. All there is to do is to get some
hives fitted up with frames of FONDA
ton and one frame of old comb and
fasten it up in a tree in the edge of
the woods. The bees do the rest OF
course you cannot expect that every,
hive SO put up will catch a swarm.

Among the latter were Henry Clay
