William Penn.

IN 1914 on Oct IA William Penn,
founder Of Pennsylvania, was born
IN London He was the son of Ad-
lhiral Sir William Penn. At the age
of thirty-eight he came to America
and settled in Philadelphia. He was
a Quaker and his humanitarian and
peaceful policies were strikingly
shown in his dealings with the Indi-
ans. OF all the white settlers, Penn
was the only one with whom they kept
Gath. The Indians trusted him com
oletely and no treaty made with them
~ Penn was ever broken. The Indians,
it is said, never attacked one Of
PENIS Quaker followers. William
Penn spent but a short time in Amer
lea, a trifle more than four years in
all, broken by return to England
In 1701 he returned to England, where
he remained until his death at Rus
combe, Berkshire county

"MolIv Piteherp

Molly Pitcher was the first woman
military officer in America. 1t is said
she served eight years and was re-
'ired as an officer on half pay. Her
correct name was Molly Mcclure and
she was born at Carlisle, Pa, on Oc-
tOber 10. 1744. Her biographers diff
fer somewhat as to details, but she is
described as a sturdy, red-faced Irish
woman who during the battle of Mon
mouth was engaged in carrying water
TO the soldiers, and when her husband,
a cannOneer, was so badly wounded
that he could no longer serve his gun
his wife seized the rammer and took
his place, which she filled with skill
and courage. Molly was presented to
General Washington, who conferred
upon her the commission of a SER
geant Exactly how she came to be
called Molly Pitcher seems to be in
doubt.

teresting meeting at the school house.
These meetings are helping us to real-
ize and to analize the human animal
here in the colony so we can adjust
ourselves to live with each other. And
we are doing it too. We have found
that we each have our faults (accord-
ing to the other fellows view point)
and so we guess we must have some,
too. We each try to see the virtues In
each other, and find them many times
over-shadowing our faults. Our in
terests are identical and we are not
trying to make our liyings off each
other, but to make our living BY help
ing each other, The more enjoyable
we find our comrades. the greater is
our own enjoyment. So, it is to our
own interest to find the good, and on
" the good, in each other.

Mineral Wealth Of Persia.

Persia bids fair to become one Of
the richest mining countries in the
world, according to the London Times,
which says its mineral wealth is al
most inestimable, but as yet scarcely
touched. IN addition to oil fields al
ready tapped, there are others await
Ing exploitation. There is much gold,
lead. silver, copper and coal.
The difficulty hitherto has been with
transportation, It being necessary to
carry ore several hundred miles over
the mountains on the back of camels
or mules. which ate up the profit A
very good start has, however, been
made on building railroads and, as the
roads are suitable for heavy motor
traffic, it ought TO be easy to install
mining and reducing machinery.
