And ever keep her name alive"

1t is said that each morning of her
life was signalzed by the utterance
of some remarkable prediction of veal
or woe to- her neighbOrs of her coun-
try. To Henry VII, she foretold his
suppression of the monasteries, his
marriage with Anne Boleyn, Wolsey's
downfall and death, and the fagot fires
of Smithfield To Elizabeth she also
made equally true predictions, and al
so to King James. 1t is recorded that
in her last public utterance Mother
Shipton gave forth the following pre-
diction, which has been thought to
have reference to the present century:
The time shall come when seas of
blood
Shall mingle with a greater flood;
Great noise shall there be heard,
great shouts and cries,
And seas shall thunder louder than
the skies.
Then shall three lions tight with three,
and bring
Joy to a people, honor to king.
That fiery year, as soon as DER,
Peace shall then be as before;
Plenty shall everywhere be found,
And men with swords shall till the
ground.

SANTo DOMINGO RICH LAND
Is Without Modern Means Of Trans
portation, However, Having Only
One Short Railroad.

The Dominican republic is a good
sized and very wealthy country which
Is almost entirely without modern
means of transportation. 1t has only
one short railroad In bad repair and
only few wagon roads reaching a
short distance inland from the princi-
pal ports. The great rich interior Is
traversed only by very difficult trails,
so that to travel from one city to an
other you must go on horseback and
swim across rivers.
This state Of affairs has greatly re-
tarded the industrial development of
the country, but IL has been a great
stimulus to the Inventive genius Of the
Dominicans, who have to transport ev-
erything either on horseback or by
boat
The ability Of these people to fasten
all sorts of commodities upon the
backs of ponies and burros is almost
Incredible. The typical Dominican
saddle is bulky affair made of WOW
en- grass, with short stlrrups set very
far forward, so that the rider sits in
about the position Of man in a chair.
This leaves the TANKS of his animal
clear for cargo. All the milk sold In
the city Is delivered by countrymen so
mounted, with an immense milk can on
either side of the mount. Eggs and
chickens are brought to town in bas-
ketS the same way. Immense loads OF
hay are miraculously strapped to the
backs of burros till they look like four
legged haystacks. Kindling is brought
to town the same way and the valu-
able hardwoods of the forests come
down to the water front in billets load
ed on the backs Of pack animals.

Was Greek to Him.

The famous Non-C onformlst divine,
Doctor Jowett, who recently accepted
the passionate of Westminster chapel,
London, recalls the following amusing
episode of his student days.
1t was during a lecture on Greek by
an eminent professor, who, after a
while, called upon one of Jowett's fell
low students to read aloud passage
from a well-known Greek author.
The young man obeyed, but had not
proceeded far when he was pulled up
sharp.
"Stop" cried the professor. "Stop,
for goodness sake. Your pronuncia-
ton is terrible. How did you get such
an accent? Where do you come from?
In an accent almost as foreign to
English as the language of the author,
the student replied:
"From Athens, sir!"

Left Trail Of Blood.

Washington's plan was to cross the
river Christmas night with body of
picked troops, time when he thought
the German commander, Colonel Rail,
and his officers and men would be
carousing. He assembled the attack
ing force quietly on his side of the
river.
Some of the troops Washington had
ordered to join him failed to arrive at
the crossing point in time. But de-
spite that disappointment Washington
pushed on. He determined to make
the attack with the column he had ac-
companied. Washington's troops were
so poorly clad on the march that day
that a courier from General Gates in
Philadelphia was able to trail Wash
ington's force by bloody footprints in
the snow. When men key their cour-
age to that point nothing can stop
them.

Hesslan Colonel Killed.

While the officers drank and sang
Washlngton'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
brave man, but he had stayed too
long at his merrymaking. More than
a 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. 1t 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.

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.
1t was nearly eight o'clock before
the American advance met the first
British outposts. The latter were 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 broomsticks.
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,
a negro servant entered the room and
gave Colonel Rail a 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 Tory warn
ing him Of Washington's approach.

ST. QUENTIN, U. S. TROOPS BASE
General Pershing Reports All Is In
Readiness for U. S. Soldiers.

Washington-The war department.
has received complete reports from
Major-General Pershing on what has
been accomplished in preparation for
American regulars in France.
The American generals three weeks
of labor have borne fruit to an al
most unbelievable degree. 1t became
known that a great base camp for
the Americans is ready and every de-
tail for their reception and transpor-
tation to the front has been worked
out.
The American base will be south OF
st. Quentin, historic in the stories OF
the war on the western front. A sec
ton of the line in that neighborhood
will be turned over to Pershing as
soon as he has sufficient first line
troops and reserves to hold It.
In connection with the navy depart
ment and shipping board, a great
transport system is being organized
whereby entire fleets of merchantmen
will be turned over to the war depart
ment for one voyage at time. Many
OF them are German vessels seized at
American ports upon the declaration
of war. They are fast and have large
passenger Accommodations.
