THE FALL OF MONTGOMERY
Interest in the Gallant Young Soldie
Never Lessons.

The death Of General Richard Mont.
gomery has never been forgotten by
the American people, says the Rev
Thos B. Gregory, writing in the New
York American. It was 1877 years age
that the young soldier died so gallant
| ly upon the bald promontory Of Cape
Diamond, but more than four gener-
ations of time have not sufflcied
to dim his fame or to weaken the hold
that his memory has upon the hearts
Of his countrymen.
At once upon the beginning Of hos.
tilities between the Colonies and
England, the attempt was made to
conquer Canada. Schuyler, the Amer.
lean commander Of the northern de.
partment, being sick, the enterprise
was confided to Montgomery, then ir
his 39th year.
Starting from Ticonderoga in Au'
gust with 200 men, Montgomery, the
following month, laid seige to the for:
| tress of st. Johns which commanded
the approach to Montreal. After
seige Of so days st. ], hn's surrender
ed and on the 18th Of November
Montgomery entered Montreal ir
triumph.
Meanwhile Arnold was making his
famous march northward through the
forests Of Maine and by way Of Ken.
nebec and Chudiere rivers. Arnold
reached Quebec November IA, the day
after Montgomerys capture Of Mon.
treal, and early in December. Mont
gomery appeared with his small force
which raised the number Of the
Americans to some 1900 men.
At 2 o'clock in the morning. in q
binding snowstorm, Montgomery and
Arnold began each a furious attack
at opposite sides of the town, and
each came near carrying the point
Montgomery had almost forced his
way in when he fell dead, pierced by
three bullets, and this so chilled the
enthusiasm Of his men that they flag
ged until reinforcements drove them
back.
About the same time Arnold was
severely wounded and carried from
the field. Taking Arnold's place, Nor
gan, at the head Of his Virginians
fought his way into the heart of the
town, and Quebec would certainly
have fallen had not the attack from
the opposite quarter been stopped by
the death Of Montgomery.

friend on the midnight train, and, get
ting on board at the Black Bay station
we found a seat near the rear end OF
the car.
Soon after the train pulled out
happened to look around and saw the
conductor apparently expostulating
with rather shabby looking specimen
Of humanity who was sitting in the last
seat. At first I thought the man was
drunk, but as watched I saw that he
was foreigner who couldn't under
stand English. He was holding out a
crumpled one dollar bill to the conduc-
tor and saying New York over and
over again.
Finally the conductor shook his
head. said something I couldn't catch
and went on. The foreigner, rather
decent looking young fellow, gazed al
him despairingly, then buried his face
in his hands and began to cry With
the usual callous Indifference of the
travelling public to the troubles Of any
one else, / paid no more attention to
the man and prepared to take nap.
II was just beginning to doze when l
became aware that a man was stand
ing beside me in the aisle, speaking TO

was a rough appearing man, far from
prepossessing, clean shaven, with a
sort of bulldog face.

False Logc.-Senator Helen r. Rob-
inson, of Denver, apropos Of her bill
admitting women upon juries, said the
other day:
1T has been false economy to KEEP
woman out of politics. 1t has been
false economy and false logic. 1t re-
minds me of a mill hand.
"A city missionary advised mill
hand to husband his resou- :. to
spend less in beer and tobacco, in or

of slack times later on.

chin doubtfully, answered in broad

Mark Twain's Egg Order.-MarR
Twain once lived at the Players ciun

cup for me-"
BY and by the waiter returned

ed at the egg portion and asked
boy, what was my order?"
Three soft eggs broken in the cup

How He knew.-With malicious
chuckles the connoisseurs OF Ne"
York are retailing a story, perhaps
apocyrical about J.. Pierpont Morgan
Mr.. Morgan, the story runs, was IN
yited by a Fifth avenue dealer to
view a beautiful set Of antique worries
He inspected the ivories, he praised
their loveliness, he even ADMITTED
their cheapness; but, shaking MS
head, he ended: =,
There's only one trouble. A doubt
still persists in my mind about their
antiquity. That Of course. Is an In
surmountable objection; for In all the
vast Morgan collections there Is mol
one single object about which the
shadow of a doubt exists"
The dealer, exasperated at losing a
sale he had counted on, forgot himself
and retorted:
That's not so, sir, I personally
know Of FIVE objects in your watcn
collection alone that are neither gen.
uine nor antique, but merely modern
copies"
How do you know that?" Mr.. Nor
gan asked haughtily.
Because" replied the dealer, i
sold them to you myself"

He Deserved lt.-One morning Bill,
the poacher, was engaged in his early
morning labors, when he suddenly
came face to face with the owner OF
the manor, whom naturally he thought
still lay abed, says Answers.
Gone was the brightness OF the
morning as the redoubtable squire
eyed the unlimited guest, whom stam-
mered out a nervous greeting.
"G-good morning sir! Wha-what
brings you out so early?"
"oh," replied the lord of the land
with a naughty stare and an uncon-
scious testing of the light switch he
carried in his hand. "I came out to
gain an appetite for breakfast. But
why, may I ask you, are you out SO
early?"
Living close to nature makes for
quickness, and there was scarcely a
pause Of half second before Bill re-
piled:
"Well, now, squire, that's curious
Here ycu come out early to get an ap-
petite for breakfast and I come out
to get breakfast for my appetite"

Tb. president in the CAPITOL

The President in the Capitol.-A
lively discussion was precipltated
Wednesday in congressional circles by
a published statement, credited to
President elect Wilson, that he in
tended to spend a part of each work
ing day in the presidents room at
the capitol, to keep in closer touch
with legislative affairs.
Such an action on the part of
president would overturn the prece-
dent which has restricted the presi-
dents visits to the capitol to the last
hours of congress.
Democratic leaders discussed the
reported plan with reluctance, though
many seemed to favor it.
Much will depend on what he
comes for" said Senator Tillman. IF
he comes to advise us we will be glad
to have him; If he comes to dictate, as
l don't believe he would, we should
not want him."
Senator Fletcher said he thought 1t
a good thing IL the president could
spare the time.

Ale For Breakfast.

Ale and bread were the chief items of the royal breakfast in old en times in England. The quantity of ale consumed by ladies at break fast in those days was considerable, for in the reign of Henry VIII. the maids of honor were allowed for breakfast "one chet loafe, one man. chet, two gallons of ale and pitch CT of wine.'' A Lady Lucy made a mighty tonic of the national brew. Her breakfast was d chine of beef, a loaf and gallon of ale, and for her pillow meal posset porridge, a generous cut of mutton, loaf and a gallon of ale.-Westminster Gazette.
