sian outposts near Trenton village
and obscured the vision of the pac-
ing centuries. Suddenly the advance
guard of the American army marcn-
ing in two divisions doomed before
the outposts like phantom figures IN
the mist.
There was rattle of musketry
and the Hessian guards were re-
treating in confusion before superior
numbers of the enemy. All Tren-
ton was speedily in confusion. Col
onel Rail was reused from his bed
to be informed that the enemy was
upon him. By the time the sur
prised and bewildered Rail had
dressed and mounted his horse the
Americans were dealing death and
destruction to his troops who ran IN
disorganized fashion from place to
place. The dash and vim of the
Americans carried all before them
and despite the gallant fighting of
the Hessians the Americans were
soon in the town, entering it from
two points at the same time. Shots
were fired at the Hessians from
many houses in the town.
Joshua Honeyman, grasping an
old flint lock, fired repeatedly from
front room window Of his home.
He had rammed home a charge OF
powder and shot and was about to
fire when Hessian bullet took him
directly between the eyes and he
fell dead with his loaded musket
beside him.
Mrs. Honeyman in an adjoining
room heard him fall and when she
rushed in and saw his lifeless form
her scream of anguish brought Anne
Delapp and JaneFincher quickly into
the room. Anne bent over the pros
trate form and making sure thai
life was extinct she covered the face
with a cloth. AS she arose she saw
through the shattered window wha
she thought to be the ghost o.
James Gray riding past with cap
tured Hessian banner. Believing
Gray to be long since dead sht
thought her wrought up brain wa

arm she asked whether she, too, say

ded that she did. AS the two LOOKED

the major portion of the Hessians
were herded into an orchard where
they surrendered. In the Southern
section of the town the remaining
Hessians, unable to get across the
creek and escape, were also com.

In the Honeyman home Captain
Gray lay upon bed, his head swath-
ed in bandages and Anne Delapp
tenderly ministering to him. Cen
eral washington came in person to
inquire after him. Gray feebly
saluted his chief and told him of
Anne's heroism and also of her time
ly action in diverting Rails suspicious
by altering the message which warn
ed him of the crossing of the river
by the Americans. Washington was
deeply moved. He took Anne's hand
in his and led her over to where
Gray was. Then placing the tremb-
ing little hand in that of Gray the
great Chieftian silently left the
room.
In an adjoining room he found
john Honeyman with his mother
and Jane mourning near the shroud
covered form of Joshua Honeyman.
He gave them what consolation he
could and told Honeyman he must
now fulfill another duty-that of
looking after his mother and Jane.

Pierce County in Line
for Baby Beef Institute

Early maturing beef animals,
known as ''baby beef" in the live
stock dictionary, can be proftably
produced in Pierce county.
There is a good possibility that
farmers of this county who know
from experience or observation that
such is the case, will meet to discuss
this important side line of general
farming at Ellsworth, January 5.
A committee consisting of Oscar
Halls and R. A. Peterson, Ellsworth,
and E. j. Prucha, River Falls. has
been chosen to secure. if possible,
and arrange the program for one of
the series of baby beef Institutes to
be held in beef producing sections of
Wisconsin this winter. They have
the active support of numerous
stockmen and farmers. who are
anxious to make the meeting one of
great benefit to the county.
To make the institute especially
noteworthy and valuable, a number
of state live stock agencies have
agreed to lend support to the event
Among these are the Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders association, the De-
partment of Farmers Institutes, the
Wisconsin Shorthorn Breeders AS
ISOLATION, the Wisconsin Aberdeen
Angus Breeders Association, the
Wisconsin Red Polled Cattle Club

To Publish One Day Earlier

Commencing with our next issue
The Journal will be published here
after on Wednesday afternoons, and
we urge all who contribute to it's
columns to get their copy in earlier
to insure it's publication.
We have been urged to this change
by the fact that Eleventh" hour
copy has often delayed our publica-
ton so that the paper has not reach
ed the out-of-town subscribers some
times until Saturday, which, of
course detraets from the effective
ness Of the paper as an advertising
medium. To have all readers, in
this section, receive their paper not
later than the arrival of Thursday S
rural route mail schedule, we believe
will prove more satisfactory to all.
We urge our advertisers, CORE
spondents and others who wish to
have notices or ads. in the Journal
to bear in mind that all copy should
be here in ample time for publica-
tion-advertising, church and social
notices, etc not later than Tuesday
noon, and in case Of large insertions,
as much earlier than that as possible.
After that time we have only oppor-
tunity to insert short locals or spe-
cial items which come up during the
day.
1t is to your benefit, more than to
our own, that the change is made,
and we sincerely hope that all will
cooperate to prevent delay.
