They say the Styx Is dark and chill, but that

The ferryman is stern and grim, but why
should he decline
If 1t should be an anglers whim TO wet

Then would he look with frowning face

Facts About Nathan Hale

II. +. D.-1. Nathan Hale was born In
1865. He was graduated from Yale Uni
versity in 1773 and became a teacher. 2.
The purpose OF his expedition as spy was
to find out at what point, IL at all. the
British intended to attack New York. He
assumed disguise and passed through the
British lines In Long Island in the char
acter OF a schoolmaster who had become
dsgusted with the course of the Revolu-
tion. He visited all the British camps on
Long Island and drew up memoranda, writ
ten in Latin In the privacy OF his room at
night. Meanwhile, the British captured New
York city, so that Hale's excursion would
ton. He gathered considerable military in
formation which would have been useful
in general way to the American COM
nander. 8. The capture was effected short
ly after Hale entered a famous tavern,
'"rhe Cedars," and asked for a nights
lodging. This was at Huntington Bay,
where he was to be called for by boat
man, an American sympathizer. AS he sat
In the inn parlor a number of persons
were seated about, and Hale noticed that
one of them, man whose face he seemed
to reeollect, suddenly rose and left the
place. At dawn Hale left for the waterside.
where he expected his boatman He saw
a boat approaching, supposed 1t to be his
eonfederate's, gaily saluted the rowers, and
then TO his dismay saw that they were
British marines. He was captured and SEN
fenced to be hanged. 4. Hale's last re-
quests to Cunningham, the provost mar
shall who supervised the execution, were
refused. Even his hurrledly written letters
to his mother, sisters and youthful sweet
heart, Alice Adams, were Futhlessly de-
stroyed before his face. His last words
were. 'I only regret that / have but one
life 20 give TO my country

WORD FROM THE BORDER

| To the Editor Of EUening Ledger:
| Sir-Inclosed you will find little sketch
| of our life both in song and few words
| here in the deserts of Texas. / am son
| of Philadelphia and in Philadelphia COM
| pany. We arrived here Thursday morning
| and have seen enough. We are not fighting
Mex,cans. we are not facing powder and
| shells. We are fighting rattlers, horned
toads and ground lizards and regiments OF
all specimens of bugs and we are facing on
the hot sands which blow In our meals our
sleeping quarters and oh, most every
where
We all in chorus thank the cook. though,
for keeping us from starving This is our
menu, with small I'M:
Morning-Coffee and hardtack.
Noon-Hardtack and coffee and a smell
of corned beef.
Supper-Hardtack and coffee mixed and
some beans, and so on every day
we were all thinking II the kind, good
citizens of the East could send us some
water, and. believe me. bath is certainly
welcome by every one.
Now for the song:
The little colonel, the worst of them all,
He gets you home in the morning before
first call.
It's fours left and fours right and right
front into line.
You hurry up, you lazy boot,
Or I'll give you double time.
CHORUS.
Home, boys. home-that's where we ought
TO be.
Home, boys, home, in Gods country.
And when we get to Philly
We won't give a --;
We will tell them about the ancient meat
they handed US for ham.
We go to bed at night and lay our shoes
aside;
Up comes a lizard and makes a bed In
side.
And we wake up in the morning,
And find we're an hour late;
We look down at our little toes
And find there are only eight.

Talking about sharks, some years age
before the bar out in front of the pavilion
at Longport l was fishing along the jet
ties built by the railroad company to pro-
tect the roadbed, when heard rifle shot

two men in boat shooting at some object
on n small bar. Presently they made fast

shore and made fast to the wharf. 1t

n doctor opened it's mouth and propped 1t
open with a stick then began to explore
its throat. He then took out a lancet and
cut the shark open to see what was in Its
belly. and out rolled a silver watch OF the
dollar kind. The doctor picked it up and
made the remark that the watch was run
ming and on inquiring the time found that
the watch was right. There were at least
80 persons looking on who had come down
on the trolley from Atlantic City, and on
their return told the story and, of course,

of-hand expert, while exploring the shark s
mouth, passed the watch into the sharks
stomach, and of course when the shark was
opened the watch was found. When he
came up to the hotel he gave the thing
away to some of his friends, but the peo-
pie who went to Atlantic City on the trolley
were none the wiser.
Another time, while fishing UP In Egg
Harbor Bay for weakfish, the fish stopped
biting, and some one suggested that
shark was in the bay, and asked Captain
Sam Davis to put out his shark line. He
baited It with two weakish and waited de-
