Copyright, 1912, By George MathewAdams.J

IN AT HENRY was a barefoot boy in
~ Hanover county Virginia, who had
ALREADY tongue, was suspected of
stealing apples and was nobody in
particular, not having descended from
the first OF even the 18th families Of
Virginia. He was born on May 10Th.
1876, and history would not have had
any interest whatever in this date if Pat
had not been such a poor business man.
Pat grew up without being pestered
by society OF annoyed with education and
at the age of Is he married and opened
a store. He did not have to 90 to the
bother of closing it. The sheriff kindly
did it for him. Pat then rented a farm
and tried to cultivate IT, His efforts
proved so hard on the farm that he soon
gave it up. Everybody said Pat was
good fellow and would be fine company
IN the poor house some day.
When Pat failed on the farm he took
up the law, in which almost anyone
could succeed at that time, a lawyers
duty being simply to prove that he had
the right on his side While waiting for
clients Pat began to make speeches after
the custom of lawyers and people dis
covered that he had a razor sharp tongue
with wavy double edge like a Cristy
bread knife
Virginia was being very much abused
by king George of England just then and
Pat Henry got to making remarks about
It IN public. Whenever he got warmed
up a little and began to swing his arms
and allude TO tyranny and the baseness
of being slaves, he got his audience heat
ed up to the point of demanding tyrants
on toast and in the end he was elected
a delegate to the first continental con-
gress- He went to Philadelphia and
there got up and discussed king George

best to protect the national colors
The trouble started at the conclu

women were gathered in the park for
speechmaking. Red banners, the en-
speakers platform and the band was
playing the "Marsailaise" when the
Stars and Stripes were carried to the
stand as the first speaker was about
to be introduced. Instantly there was
the widest excitement.

quiet the tumult that had broken out.

to make certain that the workmen a
the grave placed the coffin in the out
side box Col. Hughes also made the
outer box, which was constructed tc
lit the casket.
Col. Hughes had taken out twenty
one patents in the United States and
one in the Confederate States. In
1904, at New London, Mo-, he invented
a hand corn planter which was pa
tented in 1856. He sold the planters
at So each, and by 1860 had accumula-
ted fortune
While he was in st. Louis the war
opened and Mr.. Hughes went to Mem
phis, where he entered the employ of
the Confederate gun works. While
there he invented new gun which
would throw one and one-half inch
lead ball over three miles with four
ounces of powder. During the war he
made fifty of these guns mounted on
carriage wheels and he received $500
for each of them. The gun was not
patented until the 18th of February,
1865. Col. Hughes also invented a
wooden canteen and provided several
thousand for Confederate troops.
He also invented the wooden horse
collar, supplying the government with
500 of them.

On his visits back to Vandalia Col

PUBLIC DRINKING CUP
Abolished From All Convey
ances in Interstate
Traffic

Washington, Nov. 2.-Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh with one swoop
abolished the time honored public
drinking cup from railroad cars, YES
sells and other conveyances operated by
interstate traffic, and from depots and
waiting room of common carriers.
This sweeping order against ''any
drinking cup, glass or vessels for
common use" effective Immediately.
is in the interest of the nations health
and was the direct result Of an inyesti
cation by the United States public
health service "a branch of the treas
nry department-which holds the
drinking cup to be a menace as a
carrier of disease. The drinking cup,
it is said, may contain thousands of
bacteria from disease infected persons.
MIR. MacVeagh's action constitutes
an amendment to the interstate's
quarantine regulations. Sherman AL
len, assistant secretary of the treasury.
stirred by the relations of the public
health service and the fact that
twenty-six stat s already have laws
forbidding the use of the common
drinking cup, recommended the move
to MIR. MacVeagh and was sustained
by the solicitor of the treasury depart
ment as the secretary's legal power to
make the order.
