FIRST OF AMERICAN HER0INEs
Country's Liberty at Mount
Washington.

And the first woman who fought for
American liberty was Gunner Corbin's
widow, at the capture Of Mount Wash
ngton, by the Scotch and Hessians. IN
the midst of the fight Gunner Corbin,
struck by ball, fell dead at his wife's
feet as she was aiding him in his du-
ties.
It was not an uncommon occurrence
for Irish women (as at Limerick) to
share the dangers of the bivouacks, as
instance the deeds of that other hero
inc, Molly Pitcher. Instantly, without
q word, she stepped into his place and
worked the gun with redoubled skill
and vigor, fighting bravely until she
sank to the earth, pierced by three
grapeshot! Though terribly wounded,
she finally recovered, but was disabled
Tor life.
A soldiers half pay and the value OF
q soldiers suit Of clothes, annually
voted her by the Continental congress
(but soon discontinued) were all the
reward that the first woman who
fought for American liberty ever re-
cefEed for such heroic love, courage
and suffering.-E. F. Delaney, in the

Blow at Suicides.

HE was bought by a woman who

three persons have killed themselves
with gas recently. Those suicides have
upset her nerves Now she is going
to try the same preventive means
adopted by three of her friends.
"They too, keep roomers. Also
they keep monkeys. There have been
several attempts at suicide in their
houses. but they have always been
frustrated by the monkeys, who have
smellei gas and set up such a chat
tering that they woke everybody up.
Monkeys are extremely sensitive
to the odor Of gas. This customer of
mine hopes to utilize hers as O new

Nida Of
the Sea
b. Molly M0cMaster

Copyright 1872 by Associated Literary
Danvers first caught sight Of her
when she was going up the gang
plank. Her grace was peculiarly her
own, and it marked her even among
the many charming women who were
boarding the ocean liner. Her figure
was willowy-the kind Danvers re-
membered having read Of, but had
seldom seen except among famous
dancers.
1t seemed, however. that the big
man from the western world was not
to look upon her again. She appar-
boarding the vessel and had remained
there. It was the third day out before
Danvers realized that only one chair
remained unoccupied in the dining
saloon, and that the place must be
hers.
It was at dinner that he looked up
from desultory study Of the menu
card. She was sitting opposite him.
Danvers knew with sudden conviction
that If he ever loved woman It would
be one who could enter dining room
in just that way. There had been no
rustling Of draperies, no patter of
Franch heels.
But to be frank with himself DAN
vers had not thought of loving any
one. Perhaps he was a little afraid
of women; perhaps it was that he had
found them wanting.
And now, because the beautiful
woman opposite him was not in the
least interested In him or in anything
else as far as he could see, Danvers
wanted to know her. She, whether
through feminine wiles or mere per
versity responded but family to all ad-
vances made in her direction. Dan
vers felt his fighting blood rise. What
right had woman to suggest mystery
and thus lure masculine interest? He
watched her covertly and once or
twice their eyes met. There was
yelled challenge in hers, determine
ton in his, and the something in each
that admitted attraction, one for the
other.
And under the current Of passing
thoughts Danvers knew that the oval

Dayton had a bad limp on him as he
arose from the dust of the road.
You've done it now-b'gosh you've
done it," shouted the farmer as he
hung to the fence.
"Yaas." drawled young Dayton, with
an accent that would have done credit
to a Hindoo in London.
"And why in the devil were you
here instead of somewhere else?" de-
manded the chauffeur.
There was more jawing, and there
were some awful threats made. By
the great horn spoon, and the little
brass spoon, and various other spoons,
that farmer wanted $500 damages, and
wouldn't take cent less. He spoke
of warrants, arrests, sheriffs, jails and
state prisons, and he was still speak
ing when the auto limped off.
Young Dayton never settled things
on the spot-not even when he bought
cigarettes. There was a suit for dam
ages.
A week after the accident Miss
Mollie Dayton, who had the honor of
being the sister of Mr.. Clarence, at
tended a lawn party. At the gather
ing she was introduced to George
Graham, and they were very con-
genial. Being asked about the acci,
dent, the girl made good witness on
the stand. She repeated all that she
had been told about it, and then she
had something to add. Clarence had
secured lawyer to defend the suit,
but the father thought and she
thought he had made a great mistake
He had retained fiedgling who hat
never had a case. He had been re
tanned because he was a classmate
at college.
The father said, and that was also
her idea. that the young lawyer was
a person who wouldn't come within a
hundred miles of making a decent de
fence. to say nothing about winning.
They had begged of Clarence to get
some real lawyer, but he was OBJ
stinate about it. The farmer had
sued for $500 damages, and with only
a young lawyer opposed to him he
would likely get every cent of it.
Mr.. Graham listened and did not
talk much. Now and then his face
flushed, but as it was warm day Miss
Mollie laid 1t to the heat. When she
had finished her narrative she asked
his opinion Of Clarence's chances and
b replied:

When young Clarence Dayton
stepped into his auto waiting for him
at the depot at Short Hills on his re-
turn from the city, he had just three
miles to go to reach the family man
sion. There wasn't the slightest &C.
casion for haste He would simply
take a seat on the veranda when he
reached the house and probably fall
asleep.
Hit 'er up!"
That's what young Dayton said to
the chauffeur as he entered the car.
The chauffeur proceeded to hit. As
he had just been Tilted by the cook at
the Dayton mansion he was ready to
face death.
Farmer Saulbury was on his way to
the village to do some trading" and
on the four fingers of his left hand
his wife had tied four strings, lest he
forget. They stood for a quart of
molasses, can of baking powder,
three pounds Of sugar and package
Of starch. AS he logged along with
his old horse and rickety wagon the
farmer kept counting the strings and
naming over the respective articles.
In SO doing he forgot that the auto
mobile industry of America was still
on the job, and the horse was left
to pick his own going.
Young Dayton's chauffeur might
have been looking over the landscape
on either side of the highway, or he
might have had his eyes closed as
he thought of the perfidy Of the cook
who had led him on and on until he
had declared his love and then hit
him with four-story brick house.
AS for the young man he might not
have been thinking of anything, and
had his eyes on the toes Of his shoes.
When both farmer and auto are
properly encouraged there is a get
ting together. There was in this case.
There was a crash and there was q
smash-shouts and yells, and there
they were! The old horse was dead,
the buggy wrecked, and the farmer
hoisted over the fence among the
thistles. The auto was banged, the
chauffeur knocked about, and young

face of the woman had once before
gone before his vision. Where he had
seen her and when, he could not re-
member. He recalled it only as spir-
it face without the Grim son Of the lips
or the flush that fingered beneath her
eyes.
After dinner when all Of tie passen-
gers came up on deck for the usual
badinage and glimpse of the setting
sun Danvers paced slowly back and
forth, back and forth. He was con-
scious only CT the fact that as each
person stepped out from the compan-
ionway he was disappointed. Then she
came and Danvers knew that he had
been waiting for her.
She cast swift glance at him, then
turned in the opposite direction and
paced slowly down the great length of
deck.
Danvers waited until she would have
to pass him on the narrowest part of
the deck. AS she came toward him
he knew that she was going to at
tempt to pass him without raising her
eyes.
"You are a most unsociable person.
and do not take advantage of ship
board unconventionality," he said, and
swung into step with her.
A smile came swiftly into her eyes.

beneath her lashes, "and besides

Danvers waited long time before
he spoke again. He noticed, with
some irritation that she had tucked
the chiffon veil well within her coat.
"They were prettier floating in the
breeze" he said somewhat testify.

laughed back at him.

IF he does I'll shake hands with
him and send him all the cases
can"
Up to the day the suit was called
the efforts to get young Dayton to
change lawyers continued, but he was
firm. On the date set, father, mother,
brother and sister we're on hand at
the court house, and presently Miss
Mollie got surprise that opened her
eyes Her brothers attorney proved
to be the Mr.. Graham she had talked
with at the lawn party. Yes, he was
the young lawyer who was to plead
his first case. Bushes galloped over
the girls cheeks as she remembered
how she had maligned him, and If he
looked her way he found her hooking

The farmer was the first witness on
the stand: He had gone over his
testimony a hundred times, and was
all ready to start of with:

"But why did you let me talk to

Poor Mollie could hardly speak a

MEANING OF CHARITY

Charity is a virtue of the heart and not of the hands, says an old writer Gifts and aims are the eX- pressiOns, not the essence of this virtue. A man may bestOW great sums on the poor and indigent with out being charitable and he may be charitable when he is not able to bestow anything Charity is, there fore, habit of good will or benev- olence, in the soul, which disposes us to the love, assistance and relief of mankind, especially of those who stand in need of it. The poor man who has this excellent frame of mind is no less entitled to the reward of this virtue than the man who foundS a college For my own part, l am charitable to an extravaganza this way. l never saw an ,indigent person in my life without reaching out to him some of this imaginary relief. l cannot but sympathize with everyone I meet that is in affliction; and If my abilities were equal to my wishes there should be neither pain nor pow crtv in the world.-Sir Richard Steele.

Roosevelt headquarters and it was plain that even sixty votes added to the nineteen that had been allowed the colonel would not give him a ma jority of the convention.
 But it seemed certain at that time that seventy would be sufficient and a claim was put in for that number on absolutely no basis as to at least ten of the number.
 After the convention had proceeded to business it was shown on test ballot that the number of delegates on whom the colonel could rely was exactly 464. So seventy was not enough.
