VETERAN WHO SAW
HARD ACTIVE SERVICE
Father of Frederick L. Winch, the
Well Known Truant Officer
of Pleasantville Schools.

The Haverhill (Mass.) Evening Ga
zette contains the following interest
ing article concerning the father of
Frederick L. Winch, of Pleasantville,
Capt. Charles F. Winch, who saw hard
service during the Civil War;
In a little weather-beaten house
nesting on the Andover road in the
town of Georgetown resides Capt.
Charles F. Winch, the only living vet
eran in this county entitled to the rank
of captain through leading his com
pany in many hard-fought battles of
the civil war and for many years
manager of the old Eagle house.
Mr.. Winch was born in Hancock, n.
H., Aug. IA, 1882, and was one of 10
children of Leonard and Elizabeth
(Bryant) Winch. His mother was a
distant relative of William Cullen
Bryant, the poet.
At the age of IA years he gave up
going to the little red schoolhouse and
went to work in the cotton mills at
P~eterboro, N. H. From there he re-
moved to Waltham and went to work
in the cotton mills. After remaining
there for about a year he went to
Clinton, where he was employed in
the Lancaster gingham mills and also
the Bigelow carpet factory.
During the controversy as to wheth-
err Kansas should be admitted to the
Union as a slave or free state, he went
to Wisconsin, where he remained for
about a year. In the fall he returned
east and went to work at Peterboro.
Even during his boyhood he display
ed a military ambition and shortly af-
ter leaving school organized a COM

EPIGRAMS

Time is money, but it is apt to hang
more heavily on hands.
You never can tell. Many a woman
with a muddy complexion has a clear
conscience.
This may be the land of the free,
but don't jump to the conclusion that
every wife is a Goddess of Liberty.
Of course it is better to believe
everything you say than to say every
thing you believe.
Some people are positively so hope
less that they don't even expect the
unexpected.
Any novelist will tell you that the
first story doesn't always get him in
on the ground floor.
A lot of fellows who boast that they
read good books talk as though the
most of their knowledge had been
gained from "movie" billboards.

BRINGING IN THE WOUNDED
Lowering Men on Stretchers Without
Earring Requires an Expert
Hand.

A hospital train had come in, a
British train. The twilight had deep
ened into night. Under the Pickering
arc lamps, in that cold and dismal
place (Boulogne), the train came to a
quiet stop. Almost Immediately it
began to unload.
Half way down the car a wide win
dow was opened and two tall lieuten-
ants, with four %orderlies, took their
place outside. 1t was very silent.
Orders were given in low tones.
One by one the stretchers came;
one by one they were added to the
frightening line that lay prone on the
stone flooring beside the train. There
was not a jar, not an unnecessary mo-
ton. One great officer, very young,
took the weight of the end as it came
velous gentleness as the others took
hold. He had a trick of the wrist that
enabled him to reach up, take hold
and lower the stretcher, without free
ing his hands. He was marvelously
strong, marvelously tender.
The s%tretchers were laid out side by
side. Their occupants did not speak
or move 1t vas as if they had reach
ed their limit of endurance. They lay
with closed eyes or with impressive,
upturned faces, swathed in their
brown blankets against the chill.
Here and there a knitted neck scarf
had been loosely wrapped about a
head. All over America women were
knitting just such scarfs.
And still the line grew. The car
seemed inexhaustible of horrors. And
still the young lieutenant with the ten
der hands and the strong wrists took
the onus of the burdens, the muscles
of his back swelling under his khaki
tunic. If l were asked to typify the
attitude of the British army and of
the British people toward their wound
ed, I should point to that boy. Moth
ing that l know of in history can
equal the care the English are taking
of their wounded in this, the great
war.-Mary Roberts Reinhart in the
Saturday Evening Post.

Mexico's Superb Cathedral.

The Cathedral Of Mexico was begun
in 1873; but so marshy was the land
that after so years of work, the wall
was only 200 feet above ground, al
though the Spaniards had used the
stones of the Aztec temple as their
foundation. Two hundred years were
necessary to complete the sacristy and
chapel, for the cathedral is over 400
feet long; with height of 179 feet, not
counting the tower, which measures
240 feet. Its magnifcence of altar
furnishings, with lamp before the
sanctuary reputed to have cost $780,
900, glittering with jewels; its dark
cream walls and Ia chapels, suggest
that Croesus rather than Cortez was
the master builder. The architecture,
in the MAN, is of Gothic, with a lavish
use of Doric and Corinthian pilasters.
Here are buried the remains of Itur-
bide-the first emperor of Mexico, and
also the head of the good padre,
Hidalgo, who, in his own far away
province, first rung his church bell to
summon the people to overthrow
Spanish rule in Mexico. Not always
did this skull rest in the bosom of
the church, for when Hidalgo was
killed battling for liberty, the Span
iards hung his head on iron hooks,
still to be seen, on the prison walls
at Guanaiuata,

Marriage-Old School.

Representative Mann of Illinois,
who is a strong advocate of m
suffrage, discussed, at a dinner in
Washington, the defeat of the suf-
rage bill in the house.
81 am sorry the bill was lost" Rep
resentative Mann said, because it is
the best type of our women, those
women who do some useful work who
ask for equal suffrage. These are
the women of the future. They share
their husbands responsibilities and
burdens. They give marriage a new
meaning"
Thanks to the suffragette," he con-
tinued, "the bachelors epigram on
marriage is, fortunately, losing its
meaning.
"'No, thank you, no marriage for
me- this bachelor said, late nj night
at a banquet. What does it amount
to? Just this: Woman marries to be
kept in gowns, and man--to be kept
indoorS.'"

SOMERS POINT MOOSE
PURCHASE FINE HOME.

Having only recently organized as
a branch of the Loyal Order of Moose,
the lodge at Somers Point known as
No. 845, has purchased the G~randview
Hotel and will establish permanent
quarters there. The "baby" lodge
will retain the upper bedrooms so
that the hotel may be enjoyed during
the coming summer season by the
Moose of the country who travel
shoreward during the hot months.
They will move in early next week.
The G~randview will be reserved
strictly for Moose members, who will
have all of the accommodations of
the modern hotel.
Louis Steuber transferred the
Grandview to the Somers Point
Moose. He is one of the charter
members of tho lodge.
The Grandview will be formally
opened as the headquarters for the
Somers Point lodge on Thursday
night, June 18th.

CONVERSATIONS.

1t is said that the residents of is
lands and small peninsulas live longer
than persons who dwell on Che main
land.
In Lapland men and women dress
exactly alike-in tunics, leather
breeches, wrinkled stockings and
pointed shoes.
Yellow flaming arc lamps have been
found to give the best light in foun-

smokes and gases.
At the end of last veal the total
membership of the 1,135 registered

British board of trade was 1898, 760,
an increase of 21.5 per cent, compared
with the aggregate of 1912.

The hump of the buffalo is not a

ribs.

pany of young soldiers. He was also
a member of the Hancock artillery at
the age of 16 years.
At the outbreak of the wal he en-
listed at Peterboro in Co. K, Sixth
New Hampshire volunteers. He and
Charles l.. Fuller of that town raised
a squad of 25 or % men, in which
young Winch enlisted as a private.
From the start his promotion was
rapid. Before the regiment had left
the state Mr.. Winch had been pro-
NOTED to the office of first sergeant.
While the company was stationed at
Roanoke, N. c., he received a COM
mission Of sergeant-major. Having
held that office about a month he was
appointed to a second ~lieutenancy.
Whiting a month from that time he
was promoted to first lieutenant,
which commission he held until he re-
ceived his honorable discharge at
Petersburg, June 27, 1864.
He was with the regiment in all
its marches and operations until just
after its arrival at Falmouth, Va, in
1862, when he was taken sick and was
left behind while his regiment advan-
ced to join Popes army. Later he
was sent to Washington and upon get
ting better rejoined the regiment in
Pleasant Valley, Nd. He remained
in continuous service until May II,
1868, when he was left sick with ty-
phoid fever at Lancaster, KY, whence
he was sent to the hospital at Lex
ington, KY. He rejoined the regiment
again at Cincinnati, o., Aug. 20. 1868,
and remained with it in all its move
ments and battles until honorably dis
charged.
Capt. Winch was in the following
engagements: Camden, Fredericks-
burg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, May
II; North Ann, Tolopotomoy, Bethes-
da Church, Cold Harbor and the action
before Petersburg, up to the battle of
the Mine.
Although at the time he received
his discharge he held only a first lieu
tenants commission, it was afterward
voted by congress that he be entitled
to the rank of captain because of his
leadership of his company in so many
battles.
After the war he returned to Peter
boro, where he remained about one
year. He then went to Boston where
he resided for two years, removing
from there to Wilmington. In 1870
he moved to Georgetown, where he has
resided the most of the time since,
excepting for the several years that
he was manager of the old Eagle
House.
In 1853, he was married to the late
Phoebe C. Marsh, of Greenfield, N. H.
Five children were born unto them,
the late Charles Edward Winch, and

erick Luther Winch, of Pleasantville,

Clinton and Mrs. Lucille B. Zuver, of

brother, John Winch, of West Swan
zey, N. H., and n sister, Mrs. Lucy
