 WASHINGTON WOMAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (by As sociated Press.) - The sword of Bonnie Prince Charlie" worn by him at court and one of the roman tic blades of Scottish history, has come to the United States. It is the gift of Lord GariOch, only son of the Earl of Mar of Scotland to Mrs. Clarence Crittenden Calhoun, of Washington, one of the descend ants of the House of Mar on her mothers side. The historic sword was delivered through the British embassy where it came in care of the ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes

Old Orderly Book
 Tells of Treason
 of Benedict Arnold

Concord N. H.. June 12 The New Hampshire Historical society through its superintendents, Maj. Otic T iIun,- mond. has just secured an orderly book from the headquarters of George Washington kept between the dates of September 26 and November l, l7S0, and containing the first official en- tries of the discovery of the trea&on of Benedict Arnold, in addition to the records of the trial and death sentence of Maj. Andre as q British spy.
 The orderly book, kept by Col. Alexander Scammell, New Hamn- shire officer, who was adjutant gercr- al of Washington's army at the time, has been retained in his family until the present generation, and has never before been offered to the public.
 It was purchasd by Superintendent Hammond for the historical society for considerable sum, although he was not aware of it's historical entries at the time of purchase.
 The entry pertaining to the trca son of Benedict Arnold, dated from Orange Town, N. J., September 26, 17S0, follows:
 "Treason of the blackest dye was yesterday discovered General Arn- old, who commanded in West Point, lost to every sentiment of honor, of

used the newspapers to remind for getfui ones. Upon occasion letters have been written to property own- CTS and when these appeared to have been overlooked, the sheriff or h5s dputies have teleDhoned the tax pay CTS. The result of this has not on- iy increased the percentage of taxes collected, but has saved many ta> payers the penalty imposed for fail ure to pay taxes within the period allotted by law
 That this additional service has been appreciated is frequently dem onstrated by the commendation ae- corded Sheriff Niehol, who is declar- ed to be without superior as a shee- if and tax collector. And his nu- merous friends contend that his rec ord is so good that none will oppose him ia his candidacy for an endorse. ment term.

 "Thc board having naturally con sidcred these facts, do also report to his cxccllency, Gen. Washington, that Maj Andre.

 Following the above orders is an other stating that "thc execution of Maj. Andre is postponed until to- morow.'

 Than Calvin Burks there are few hen in Jefferson better known or more generally popular, The esteem Tn which he is held and the conf dence reposed in him was attested four years ago when he came within 40 votes of being nominated for the treasureship. Mr. Burks was one of five candidates. and he was second in the race, just 39 votes below the number boiled by the late J. R. Par. sons.
 MT. Burks has resided in this coua- ty for 25 years, coming here from Drew, where he was born He was connected with John H.

 Such an event must have given the American cause a deadly wound if not d fatal stab; happily his trca- son has been discovered, to prevent the fatal misfortune.
 "Thc provincial train of circumstan- ces which lead to it afford the most convincing proof that the liberties ot America are the objects of drive pro lection. At the same time the treason is to be regretted, the general cannot help congratulatinE the army upon the happy discovery. Our enemies dG- spairinG of carving their points hN force are practicing every base are tt effect by bribery and corruption what they cannot accomplish in manly way.
 Great honor is due to the Amerl- can army that this Is the first i1 stance of treason of the kind when many were to be expected from the nature of the dispute and nothing is so bright and eminent in the char acter of the American soldiers as they havcing been proof against ali the arts and seductions of an invld- ious enemy

 sheriff's friends as supplying inn pressive evidence of the implicit con fidence enjoyed by MT. Nichol anon those who know him best.
 Going into the sheriff's office t,.o years ago, MT. Nichol retained those veteran deputies tax collector Capt. s. F Hilzheim and Thos. P. Stewa rt as well as Deputies Sheriff J. T.. McBurnett, J. w. Baldwin and E. II. Verret, whose records show them to be among the most efficient of off cers. Frank L. Miner was made chief deputy, and, as occasion reouir- ed, MT.

FLYERS. IN DOUBLE DANGER
Wild Beasts Added to Ordinary Psrlis
Of the Air In Service In
East Africa.

In East Africa it was almost i'm
possible to find any open ground
suitable for an airdrome, and space
had to be cleared in the dense bush
sufficient to allow a skillfully piloted
machine to rise and land, writes
Maj. W. T. Blake in the Wide World
Magazine. Frequently the airmen
were away from headquarters for
weeks at a time, dropping their re-
ports in message bags at headquar-
tiers and then returning to their laira
in the bush. Lions and leopards at
tackled the camps and waited fol-
anyone who dared to move far from
the tents at night; on at least one
occasion elephants charged down
upon an airdrome and did tre-
mendous damage.
A forced landing in the bush
meant almost certain death, for even
if pilot and observer survived the
crash it was highly probable that
they would lose themselves in their
efforts to return, or be killed by wild
beasts during the journey.

CALF'S FATAL MISTAKE.

Thomas Gerloch, farmer, neal
Redding, CAL, is grieving over the
death Of what he asserts was the
most valuable calf in California The
calf was permitted to roam at will
over the farm because it protected
the chickens against hawks, says
Gerloch.
Every time hawk would flash
down from the sky to grab off a
chicken, the calf was on the job,
ready to give battle and frequently
there were fierce fights between calf
and hawks.
One day lately Lieutenant Good
rich from San Francisco was flying
over the farm in an airplane when
his engine went dead, and he was
forced to land. The calf had been
watching the great plane, apparent
ly believing it some new sort Of
hawk, bent on a hen raid.
As the plane landed the calf
dashed up. The propeller still was
spinning. Before Lieutenant Good
rich could leap to the ground and
chase the animal away the calf had
butted the machine in the nose.
