Why This is the Fastest Selling
Car at Its Price

In over 5000, 900 miles of use the
1915 Chalmers Light Six" has proved
that it contains more actual automobile
value at $l650 than any other car in its
price class.
That is the big reason that this is
the fastest selling Chalmers model ever
built.
Andwhenyou compare the Chalmers
Light Six with other light SKIES you
can plainly see this big over- Uafue in the
greater beauty of its smooth flowing,
streaming body; in the greater strength
and solidity of the parts; in the higher
quality of the materials used I; in the greater
smoothness, power and fexibility of the
master motor; in the greater convenience
and comfort; and in the more

hundred dollars OF the Chalmers

greater valuc is not true.

Now that was q fair days work for q train hand, and Jim began to get

sand dollars reward which he understood to be standing for just such cases
The post office department opened his letter, yawned, rubber stamped it,

Jim with something like this:
Sir: In reply to your esteemed favor of recent date we beg to advise
that the reward which you claim is offered only in the case If mail train rob-
brs arrested and convicted"
Jim was dumfounded. He had neither arrested nor convicted his robber
He had merely killed him.
And unless some member Of Jms congressional delegation gets through
a special &C. for him, Jim will go unrewarded. He cart even collect the cost

vice on the subject of
her marriage, or she would have been saved
much misery and modification. It is said that
when Nelly Gusts announced her engagement the
general said: Question yourself. Is he a man
of sense? For be assured a sensible woman can
never be happy with a fool" James Monroe was
no fool, but the end Of this romantic courtship
is another story.
1t is more than probable that a steady supply
of food and clothing reached the camp from many
of the nearby places, for it is certain that Carlisle
had a number of women, headed by Mrs. John
Armstrong, who employed every leisure moment
knitting stockings or scraping lint for the sol
diers. This lady was born In Ireland and had
married an Irishman, but was devoted to her
adopted country and c~ountrymen. There were
other Pennsylvania women who sacrificed time
and comfort for the brave defenders. Mrs. John
Bull was approached by Lord Howe, who tried to
bride her to induce her husband to join the Eng
fish army and desert his command as colonel of
the First Pennsylvania, but she proudly refused.
Her descendants doubtless would be proud to
read the unpublished history preserved by the
writer.
Mrs. Mif1in (Sarah Morris) sent stockings of
her own making to be distributed among the SOL
diers, writing: "In this way do | throw in nv
mite to the public good. l know this-that as
free ] can die but once, but as a slave I shall
not be worthy Of life, and | have the pleasure to
assure you that these are the sentiments of
my sister Americans" Those women who could
do so visited the camp, and Mrs. Andrew Porter
elizabeth Parker) rode there on horseback, to
see her husband, who had boosted proudly that
he never wore a garment not made by his wife.
A story is told of him that at a dinner at Valley
Forge General Knox said to him: Porter, how
does 1t happen that you look so genteel while
the rest Of US are in rags, although you receive
no better pay than we" To this Captain Porter
replied: my wife took this coat apart and
turned it inside out, so you see it now as good
as new" and then went on to relate how she
had visited him but had lost her way, when she
met "a gentleman out Of uniform, Of whom she
asked directions. The officer frightened the girths
Of her saddle and admired her horse, which, Mrs.
Porter proudly declared, was home bred. Then
walking beside the rider, the person conducted
the lady to her husbands quarters, raised his hat
and strolled away.
After a warm welcome, Captain Porter said:
We'll, my lady, you came into camp highly es-
corted by the commanderin-chief."
Lady Kitty had a love affair of her own on
hand during the dark days at Valley Forge, which
eliminated in 1899 by her marriage to Col. Will
liam Duer, when General Washington gave the
bride away, for he felt that no honor was too
great to be lavished on the heroine of Valley
Forge.

MI. Mckenzie bowed in acknowledgment and, laying his hand upon his
shoulder in a friendly way, thanked him for his kind interest and, promising
10 pe more careful in future, passed on, leaving the stranger in an ecstatc
trance.

And den" said Lemuel in a panied voice, "aher l take dat oath 1 gotta

But Lemuel was wrong He didn't wait until next yea He came next
