Congress, the secretary announced,

clared that the great events now
happening in France must fire the
soul of every American with a new
determination to furnish all the dol

America that are needed to put an end
to the eXecrable atrocities of German
militarism.
Defeat faces the kaiser" he de-
clared. "Let us hasten it by assert
ing Americas might with increased
vigor in concert with our gallant COM
rades. l am sure that the people will
respond to the third Liberty loan with
the same loyalty and enthusiasm that
characterized their support of the first
two loans"

old FANEUIL HALL
Cradle of American Liberty Is
Soon to Be Restored.
Boston Landmark, Erected in 174o, for
Scores of Years Afforded Place for
Patriotic Gatherings.

Faneuil hall is to be made fireproof,
also made over on the old model. New
York has an interest in the matter. IL
was native of New York state, Peter
Faneuil, born in New Rochelle, who
built the hall and presented 1t to Bos-
ton in 1740. When he died three years
later it was the scene of memorial ex-
ercses in his honor. What glorious
patriotic meetings have been held In
the building and its reconstructlons
since that time; in the Revolutionary
war and all our w:rs, In abolition
times and whenever the times demand
ed that free speech should have utter
ance, observes the New York Sun.
No political campaign in the old
days was complete without mass meet
ings in Faneuil hall. on whose saw
dust-covered floor stood the democracy
to listen. to applaud and to show It's
displeasure. What wellsprng OF IN
spiration the picture Of Webster reply
ing to Hayne has been for two gem
erations! The sight of that quaint
and homely building, as one approach
es it in the hustle and tide of city life,
brings back the stirring scenes of Rev.
dictionary days when it got its name
of the Cradle of American Liberty.
Faneuil hall, with it's market below
and meeting hall above, is to be re-
stored to the original fabric and de-
sign as we'll as may be, and to be made
as secure as possible against fire. In
1861 all but the shell was burned. Not
since then, we believe, have the build
ing and it's additions been seriously
threatened. Yet it has always been
deplorably combustible. Here is what
the finance commission has to say
about it:
'In the basement the floor timbers
are unprotected. The refrigerator
rooms are packed with cork. The cork
and the unprotected timbers give an
opportunity for fire damage in this
part of the building. The windows
are of common glass with wooden
sashes and present danger from t1re
on the outside. Over the upper hall
the room used as a kitchen which Is
constructed of inf1ammable material"
And there is much more of the same
kind. 1t is a painful thought that
modern Boston has neglected the Ora
die of American Liberty. Such, how
ever, seems to be the case.
What columns Of grief and remirAs-
cence there would have been If fire had
Quilted it and leveled it's walls! Big
Faneuil hall is to be saved for poster
ity now. Bravo, Boston! Has the
war walked you up to your duty? III
properly DONE" says report of the
society of architects, "the architectural
restoration proposed will make of this
building a unique possession of the
CITY," Faneuil hall has always been
that. Guard it well.

been restored to good humor, and
everybody seemed very happy as they
gathered around the first morning
meal of the new year. Bright faces,
merry voices and good wishes made
1t a charming family group.
Dora and Agnes cleared the table
when the meal was finished, for there
was no servant in the house, and the
two sisters helped much with the work,
that mamma might get more time to
sew.
"Shall l wash or wipe the dishes?"
asked Dora.

rather, and I don't care"
"Well, then I'm going upstairs to
write out my New Years resolutions;
I'll be down by the time you have the
dishes ready to rinse" and Dora ran
up to her room.

before she had her resolutions writ
ten to suit her. Finally she read them
over with a certain degree Of pride:

The laughing New Year echo,
Only answered, work."
New Year, true year,
What now are you bringing7
Autumn fruits all flre-ripe,
Autumn horns a-ringing?
Keen delight O. moonlight nights,
When dull folks are abed7
But the merry echo.
The laughing New Year echo,
Only answered, "BedI"
