Hessian Colonel Killed.

While the officers drank and sang
Washington's men had fought their
way into the outskirts of the town.
The British cannon was captured and
trained down the streets on their
former owners. The sound of firing
brought realization of the danger to
Colonel Rail and he rushed from the
Hunt house to form his men. He was
a brave man, but he had stayed too
long at his merrymaking. More than
q thousand Hessians had surrendered
already. Colonel Rail rallied some
men and made a show of resistance.
Almost the first fire wounded him NOR
tally.
When the Hessians saw their
commander fall, some of them started
to retreat toward Princeton. But
Washington sent detachment to head
them off and they soon surrendered.
Long before noon the Americans
were in possession of the entire city
and the British and Hessian prisoners
were being transported across the river
for safe-keeping. Washington sent
couriers to congress with the Joyful
news. It spread quickly over the coun-
try and enthused the cause Of liberty
so well that Washington was able to
hold his army together and face the
British in the spring with determine
ton and courage.

Friend Of Great Men.

About this time the revolutionary
spirit was running high, and Ann Ram
say became fully imbued with ratri-
otto fervOr. Her zeal took the form of
collecting money for the equipm ent
and use of the army, and so great
was the confidence placed in her abil-
ity in this regard that she was made
treasurer of all moneys collected for
the purpose in the township Of Alex
andria.
So successful were her efforts that
she turned over a sum exceeding $751;
MOO to the cause. Thomas Jefferson in
his writings accredited her with be-
ing one of the most patriotic women in
Virginia, and George Washington Of
fered to assist in the education Of one
of her sons.
Mrs. Ramsay reared two sons to
fight for the cause Of American indie
pendence. One served as a surgeon
in the Continental army; the other az
a colonel in the Virginia line.
When this brave woman died, ON
April I, 1885, Washington attended her
funeral, for his diary contains this en-
try: went to Alexandria to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Ramsay on Fri
day last"

"Advance and Charged"

General Sullivan became somewhat
dubious about the outcome while on
the march and sent a messenger to
Washington to ask what should be
done. advance and CHARGE" was
WashingtOn's succinct reply. Washing
ton said in his report the next day that
he might have retreated at this time
had he thought he could have crossed
the river without being discovered by
the British.
It was nearly eight o'clock before
British outposts. The latter we're at
tackled quickly and driven back on
the town without trouble. A rattle of
musketry from the OutpOsts announced
the beginning of the battle. Wayne
Whipple says in his ''Life of Washing
ton" that the Americans were so mad
that morning that they would have at
tackled the British with brOOmStiekS.
Washington's surmise about Colonel
Rail and his officers was correct. They
had spent the night at the home Of
Abraham Hunt, drinking and making
merry. Hunt had furnished them an
elaborate Christmas supper. While the
supper was in progress, late that night,
g. negro servant entered the room and
gave Colonel Rail note. The latter
thrust it in his pocket without looking
at it. It was fortunate for America
that he was too drunk to act properly,
for that note was from a Tory warn
ing him of Washington's approach.

~HE winter of 1776, the year Of
the glorious Declaration Of In
dependence, found the fortunes
IL of the budding nation at their

broken, the little army of George Wash

Delaware. He had scarce 1000 men
to command, while CORVALLIS and
Howe, the British commanders, had

Patriotic Mary Draper.

There was Mary Draper TO Massa-
chusetts, who surely did her "bit'' for
American independence when she sent
husband and son to the front with all
dispatch; and when the daughter
begged that the boy might be left at
home, she said: 'He is needed, and
must go. You and have also service
to do. Food must be prepared for
the hungry, for before tomorrow night
hundreds will be on their way to join
the Colonial forces, and we must feed
as many as we can"
Mary Diapers bread and cheese and
cider kept many a weary soldier from
exhaustion as he passed on his way
to the war. Nor did she stop with
this service. Her stock of pewter YES
sells went into the melting pot, and
with mold for casting bullets, she
transformed her domestic utensils into
balls for the Continental army.
Then there was humble Molly
Pitcher, whose heroism on the field Of
battle at Monmouth has been recount
ed upon the pages of American his
tory; and her firing the gun when her
gunner husband was stricken dead by
the enemy has become a familiar
story. This humble wife Of barber
had the heart of a heroine, although
her mission was but to carry water to
those who needed it, and she was to
win her reward when the commander
in chief himself commissioned her a
sergeant

Ramsay, native Of Scotland, who set.
tied as trader and merchant in Alex
andria in 1744, and early and fully
identified himself with the colony of
Vfgy.nia. His extensive commercial
anu chipping connections enabled him
to SUPPLY much Of the outfit to the mill
tary expeditions of Virginia from 1854
to 1893, and he served for a time as
captain of a military company under
Washington. Records show that his
family was on terms of intimacy with
the family at Mount Vernon.

Splendid Work Of 70. A. n.

To come down to present-day wom-
en-, the Daughters of the American
Revolution have surely done their TAart
for American independence. They have
accomplished an immense amount of
memorial work, and there is hardly
city or town on the Atlantic seabOard
in or near which battles Of the Revo-
luton were fought where there is not
some evidence of their work In record
ing the revolutionary deeds of their
ancestors, their aim being to perpetu-
ate the memory Of the heroes who
wrought independence for our cOun-
try.
American independence was mani.
tested and sustained by the women at
the time Of the Revolution, as 1T was
in later years, and as 1t is being mani
tested and sustained today In every
section Of our land. >.

The winter night is cold and drear,
Along the rivers sullen flow;
The cruel frost is camping here
The air has living blades of snow.
Look! pushing from the icy strand,
With ensigns freezing in the air,
There sails a small, but mighty band,
Across the dangerous Delaware.
A rush-a shout-a clarion call,
Salute the early mornings gray;
Now, reused invaders, yield, or fall;
The worthy land has won the day!
Soon shall the glorious news be hurled
Wherever men have wrongs to bear;
And God has crossed the Delaware!
