rammer IN his hand, and, Just as II he
had been the officer, told them off with
authority, who should go to the cock
pit with the wounded men, who should
stay with him, perfectly CHEEKY, and
with that way which makes men feel
sure all is right and is going to be
right. And he finished loading the
gun with his own hands, aimed it, and
babe the men fire. And there he
stayed, captain of that gun, keeping
those fellows in spirits, till the enemy
struck, sitting on the carriage while
the gun was cooling, though he was
exposed all the time, showing them
easier ways to handle heavy shot, max
ing the raw hands laugh at their own
blunders, and when the gun cooled
again, getting it loaded and fired twice
as often as any other gun on the ship.
The captain walked forward, by way
OF encouraging the men, and Nolan
touched his hat and said:
II am showing them how we do this
in the artillery, sir"
And this is part of the story where
all the legends agree; that the commo-
dore said:
II see you do, and thank you, sir;
and l shall never forget this day, sir,
and you never shall, SIR"
And after the whole thing was over,
and he he'd the Englishman's sword.
in the midst of the state and ceremony
Of the quarterback. he said:
"Where is Mr.. Nolan7 Ask Mr.. No.
Ian to come here"
And when Nolan came, the captain
said:
Mr.. Nolan, we are all very grateful
to you today; you are one OF us today;
you will be named In the dispatches"
And then the old man took of his
own sword Of ceremony, and gave 1t to
Nolan, and made him put 1t on. The
man told me this who saw it. Nolan
cried like a baby, and well he might.
He had not worn sword since that
Internal day at Fort Adams. But al
ways afterward, on occasions Of cere-
mOny, he wore that quaint old French
sword of the cOmmodore's.
The captain did mention him in the
dispatches. 1t was always said he
asked that he might be pardoned. He
wrote a special letter to the secretary
of war. But nothing ever came of 1t.
As l said, that was about the time
when they began to ignore the whole
transaction at Washington, and when
Nolan's Imprisonment began to carry
itself on because there was nobody to
stop 1t without any new orders from
home. ,~
have heard it said that he was with
Porter when he took possession Of the
Nukahiwa islands. Not this Porter,
you know, but old Porter, his father,
Essex Porter, that is, the old Essex
Porter, not this Essex. AS an artil-
lery officer, who had seen service in
the West, Nolan knew more about for
tifications, embrasures, ravelines,
stockades, and all that, than any Of
them did; and he worked with right
good will in fixing that battery all
right. l have always thought 1t was
a pity Porter did not leave him In
command there with Gamble. That
would have settled all the question
about his punishment. We should
have kept the islands, and at this mo-
ment we should have one station in
the Pacific ocean. Our French friends
too, when they wanted this little wa
tering place, would have found 1t was
pre-occupied. But Madison and the
Virginians, of course, flung all that
away.
All that was near fifty years ago.

ADD SIX NEW DEPARTMENTS TO WoMAN's
COMMITTEE OF DEFENSE FOR NJ DAKOTA;
MRS r. E. WEIBL SUCCEEDS MRS. WICK

One of the most important features
of the meeting held in Fargo Satur-
day at the Gardner by the Woman's

Defense for the state Of North Da-
kota, was the adding OF six new de-
partments to the committee. Chair

ment; Miss Minnie Nelson, Valley

and Mrs. Muir, Hunter. for the war
letters service department. The 9TH
er two new departments are that OF
moral and spiritual welfare. for which
the state w. c. T. u. will appoint a
chairman; and the public health de-
partment. for which the state nurses
association will appoint the chair
man.
This Woman's committee for North
Dakota will act as a clearing house
for patriotic service in the state, one
of its aims being to avoid all the
duplication of effort possible. 1t 10
hoped in the near future to estimate
the woman power of the state by
having every woman in North Dako-
ia register for service. This
work will be done by the registration
department. The war letters service
committee will not only have a list
OF all North Dakota men in military
service, but will take np the matter
of sending Christmas Sgifts to the
men. Fraternal bodies connected
with this committee expect to ac-
complish the writing of at least one
letter each month to every North
Dakota soldier. T.

Homemade Sweets
For Company B Boys

AS the result of the efforts put
forth by the ladies of Company B
auxiliary and their friends, there was
an ample supplyn of home made
candies for the boys of Company B
of Fargo.
The supply was sufficient to give
each member of the company pound
box, and there was quite a large
surplus, which was placed in one big
box, to be dealt out equally at some
time on the trip to South Carolina
Each Of the pound boxes was in
scribed with the name Of a Company
B man, and was tied with red, white
and blue ribbon. The boxes were
called for Saturday by Mess Sergeant
Anderson, and were to be given out
at Sunday dinner, on the train.
The Company B auxiliary's finan-
cial gift to Company B is already
$3.50, and the organization hopes to
raise the amount to $1,000. A bust

Tag Day Results For Crittenton
Home Welcome Surprise; Largest
Amount Yet Collected For Home

Instead Of falling below the usual
mark, as had been feared because of
so many other demands on the pub
lie purse, the collections made Satur-
day by the Crittenton Home tag day
workers amounted to at least SLOTS
over the tag day collections of any
previous year. Over $4,000 had been
reported when the workers quit Sat
urday afternoon, and fully $50 was
turned in Sunday with probably 9TH
er small amounts still to come, which
will bring the total up to fully $4,000
cash, it is anticipated, while monthly
pledges will likely amount to an ad-
ditional 800. Last year the tag day
collections were SLABS. the record
to that time.
The record is especially good in
view of the fact that the tag day
workers ceased their efforts as soon
as the hour for the Company B and
citizens parade arrived. not wishing
to interfere in any way with the
collections for the military organiza-
ton. Tag day work was not resumed
in the evening.
Included in the collections were
some very generous gifts that were
quite unexpected. Several Fargo men
gave 800 each; one young working
man not long a resident of Fargo
gave $25 as the Crittenton Homes
share of the 1.-THE of his income
which he sets aside for charitable
purposes; Mecca chapter. Order Of
Eastern Star, of Fargo, pledged So
monthly: a Fargo woman pledged
$40 monthly for the juvenile work
conducted at the home; one farmer
sent a check for $25; a number Of
donations from federated clubs over
the state were received. their atten-
ton having been called to the need
by the state president, Mrs. H. G..
Wick, of Cavalier; and from the town
of Eckelson came the sum Of SGT,
which had been raised by P. Z.
Knutson, of that place. among his
friends.
The sum received from the tag day
efforts will just about put the insti-
tuition on it's feet so far as its pres
en- bills, which we're reaching alarm
ing proportions. are concerned. ana
it is hoped to raise other FUNDS oy
different means, to carry on the Work
throughout the winter.
The Crittenton home management
and board members are most ap-
preciative of the public's generosity
in this manner, which not only re-
lieves a pressing need at present,
but indicates a growing appreciation
| OF the worthy work that is being
carried on at that institution Graft
tude is expressed to all the workers
on tag day, to the pastors of the city
for their cooperation, and to the
Northern Trusa company for turning
its banking quarters over as mead
quarters for the workers saturday
Too much praise cannot be given
Mrs. r. P. Blake, general tag day
chairman, for her splendid organiza-
tion work. Never in previous years
were there so many tag day work
ers, and every one worked with an
enthusiasm that brought results.
