Friend Of Great Men.

About this time the revolutionary
spirit was running high, and Ann Ram
say became fully imbued with patri-
otic fervOr. Her zeal took the form Of
collecting money for the equipment
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 $75,-
600 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 surgeon
in the Continental army; the other as
colonel In the Virginia line.
When this brave woman died. on
April 1, 1855, Washington attended her
funeral, or his diary contains this en-
try: "Went to Alexandria to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Ramsay on Fri,

Patriotic Mary Draper.

There was Mary Draper 70 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 60. You and I 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 Draper's 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 ves-
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 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.

and others of the great spirits Of that
day were among her correspondents.
Her home was the rendezvous Of much
company, and she herself said: "By
the Plymouth fireside were many po-
litical plans discussed and digested."
Elizabeth Schuyler entered warmly
into her husbands plans and sympa-
thies when she became the wife Of
Alexander Hamilton; and Susan Liv-
ingston, the eldest daughter of Will
liam Livingston, governor of New Jer-
sey at the time of the Revolution, is
credited with two strategic moves
against the enemy which might have
done credit to the cleverest daughter
trained in camp life today.

ing reverence for his mother by WIS.,
iting the little cottage In Fredericks-
burg, where she still gave him words
of counsel and encouragement, which
doubtless fulfilled their part In the
great cause.
And who can say that Martha Wash
ington did not do her part for Ameri-
can independence when she shared the
awful winters In camp with the COM
mander in chief? The officers and the
men welcomed her coming, for her
presence brought them cheer and In
many cases comfort and relief from
suffering. She was wont to say In her
later life that she heard the first can
non at the opening and the last at the
closing Of all the campaigns of the
Revolutionary war. She walked by
the side of her lord through every
step of his career, ascending the diff
cult path that opened before him, and
at length stood with him on the sum-
NIT, deservedly sharing In the glory
Of his renown.

Splendid Work Of D. A. r.

To come down to present-day wom-
en-, the Daughters Of the American
Revolution have surely done their part
for American independence. They have
accomplished an immense amount of
memorial work, and there is hardly a
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 it vas

Would Have Doctors Exempted.

Many members of the medical pro-
fession are indignant mt the fact that
medical students have not been ex.
empted from military service under the
compulsory bill. although theO-
logical students have been exempted.
The need for a supply Of physicians, Of
course. will be increased by the war.
which will take many Of them to the
front. Keeping enough doctors at home
to take care Of the civil population is
one OF the perplexing questions faced
by the council of national defense.
Also, the number Of students In this
country has been reduced In recent
years by the strict standards imposed
upon schools which has put many Of
them out of business and increased the
length Of time required for physi-
clan to qualify for practice.

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
Virginia. His extensive commercial
and shipping connections enabled him
to supply much Of the outfit to the mill
tary expeditions of Virginia from 1854
to 1853, and he served for a time as
captain Of military company under
Washington. Records show that his
family was on terms Of intimacy with
