The Tragedy of Carrie Nation
HER FORMER PRESS AGENT

When the newspapers of June 10
flashed the news that Carrie Nation,
the Kansas saloon-smasher had died
at Leavenworth, Kan. the night before,
q plying smile went over the country
The notice of her death served only to
bring back to the minds of the public
tho Carrie of ten years ago-the fiery.
fearless. saloon smashing. journalistic
joke. who served to hit the national
sense of humor as the acme of the
sereamingly ridiculous.
And therein lies the grim tragedy of
the life of Carrie Nation. The pathos
of this gray-haired. broken hearted.
fanatical old woman is inseparable
from the humor she aroused Both
pathos and humor were with her
through the years when she Numbered
damnatiop to saloonists and wreaked
destruction to their places of business.
It was many times more in evidence at
her death-bed. when, broken in spirit
and mind, she breathed her last with
none of those with whom and for
whom she fought to soothe her dying
hours. Two nieces. a strange hospital
surgeon and a head nurse We're her
only attendants.
The two dominant features OF Carrie
Nations character were dramatically
opposed On the one side was the
crusader. the leader. the fearless
fanatic boldly defying the world

value OF advertising and quick to grasp

OF the lowest kind a miser in her love

On the other hand was her simple
motherly character, as lovable as that
of any woman / have ever known
Sometimes she would make one wonder
how she could be the termagant she
was. She rarely referred to heI

the injustice. the criminal side of her
actions, never seemed to enter her
head.
Many of Carrie Nations sensational
deeds were inspired by her press
agents the press agents of the thea
ters in which, during a few years. she
worked. She was keen. too, in making
her contracts. She received from $3.50
to $1,000 week for lecturing at thea
tiers. and always with the privilege OF
selling in the lobby her little gold
Ratchet pins and the history of her life.
This privilege would net her from 500
to $3.50 week extra.
The first work I did for her was a
press agent for theater in Atlanta,
Ga. The house was putting on sensa-
tional plays at popular prices, and
Carrie Nation was signed for two
twenty minute lectures each day. for
which she received $500 for the week
with the usual lobby privileges. The
house manager chose Ten Nights in a
Bar Room" for the weeks production.
and Mrs Nations profits for the period
amounted to nearly $1,000

Trask Rock.

He had played martial airs all through
the fight and the name was changed
to Trask rock in commemoration of
his bravery. Trask at the time of the
war was a boy of eighteen, and long
after the war he visited the site of
the rock and the battle and told the
story. 1t Is said that more han 100
lives were lost on the American side
In that fight out of about 400 engaged.
In the year 1928 the Dyce's Head
lighthouse was built on the north side
of the entrance to the harbor, being
named after the first settler In that
part of the town. 1t was originally
built of wood and was very shabbily
constructed. 1t became so much in
need of repairs and so unsafe that In
1858 1t was torn down and another
one built In its place. The head was
properly named for John Jacob Dyce,
who owned 1t in 1775.

Trask Rock Marks Historic Maine
battle-ground.
Was the Landing Place Of American
Troops and Is Named for a
Drummer In the War
of 1912.

Portland, Me.-Popular as a sum-
mer resort, and teeming with inter-
esting bits of historical notes, border
ing on Penobscot bay waters. is the
little town of Castine. Me. 1t was
once surrounded by water, by reason
of the trenches dug by the British
while the territory was In their hands
in 1912, but it is now part of the
mainland.
The town has relics and historical
bits of interest. forts of French, Brit
ish and American build. and an old
blockhouse, all of which interest the
historian. One of the most interest
ing of these old sites is 'Trask rock"
once called "Hinckley's rock" 1t is
situated on the western shore. 1t was
the landing place of the Americans
at the time of the Penobscot expedi-
ton, when they made an attempt to
secure possession of the island.
Trask rock is of a peculiar white
ness. It is large and snowy, made
conspicuous by background of bowl
ders and a precipice. 1t is situated
about halfway between the point
where the blockhouse was located dur
ing the war, and the present site of
the lighthouse on Dyce's Head. This
side of the island being weakly pro-
tected in 1912, the Americans were
enabled to make a successful landing.
The landing took place on the night
of July 2S. The weather was damp,
and a slight swell tossed the vessels
as they moored along the coastline
just beyond the reach Of the British
musketry on shore. About three
o'clock in the morning preparations
were made for landing. In the
screen of low-hanging fog about 400
marines and militia landed on and
near the Trask rock.
A section of the landing force was
under command of Captain Hinckley,
who, landing on the Trask rock as the
British opened fire, urged his men on
up the steep bank. He was killed In
the rush by a shot fired from force
of the enemy on the rock which long
bore his name. As "Hinckley rock
1t was known until after years. when
a Mr.. Trask, who was a drummer In
the American ranks, visited the town.
