FARMERS WHO 60
C0URTING WANT
BETTER ROADS
BISHOP FALL0WS DELIVERS AID.
DRESS BEFORE W0MEN's
GOOD ROAD CONVENTION.

Chicago, April Good roads, as
a means Of promoting courtships in
the rural districts, was advocated by
Bishop FalIows, in an address before
the Illinois Women's State Good
Roads convention.
"Of course the man who is dcs-
perately in love will not be kept
from the object of his affection by
poor roads, but there are many
young men of faint heart, who might
be deferred in their counting by
muddy roads" said Bishop Fallows.
This especially is true in the
country where the roads often are
impossible after heavy rains. Good
roads are necessary first to make
courtship easy After courtshin
comes the home and the home sup
ports the church So you see the
matter of good roads really is Of
great Importance

But nature produces much finer re-

General Wayne's wound drove his
followers to a frenzy. They dashed

A DEED OF DARING
One of Mad Anthony Wayne'S
Remarkable Achievements.
SToRMING OF STONY POINT.

This Brilliant Feat of Arms, In Which
Success Was Won at the Point of the
Bayonet, Was One of the Most Des-
psrate Incidents of Any War.
One of the most marvellous achieve
ments credited to American bravery
and strateg. was that Of the capture
of Stony Point by Mad Anthony
Wayne, who was one of the most pic
turesque figures of the American revo-
luton. When he was superseded In
command of the Pennsylvania line,
even after his brilliant success at Mon
mouth on June %, 177S. less ambiti-
Gus and patriotic man would have re-
signed his commission.
1t seemed the irony Of fate that the
setback in his career should follow so
closely the official encomiums for his
work at Monmouth, but that very set
back gave him Stony Point-the great
est opportunity of his life-and he
made good.
There were two important factors,
discipline and valor, that entered into
this remarkable achievement, the cap
ture of fortress on the Hudson held
by the British and considered almost
impregn- BILE. Stony Point was an is
land and the fortress was built on a
rock which was precipitous and rough.
1t was guarded by three redoubts and
protected by a double abatis of logs
that extended across the peninsula.
The post was garrisoned by COZ men,
who felt so secure in their position that
