BON HOMME RICHARD

A N OLD STORY, yes. But I bet
N you didn't know she won her bat
tie with a bucket
She was the flagship of our first
J. P. who was known by foreigners as
that pirate"
John Paul Jones, named her after
the Almanac published by a certain
B. Franklin. The latters influence in
France made it possible for Americans
to fit out squadron of reprisal
against the British.
In the summer of 1910 five Ameri-
can men-of-war crossed under jones'
command. After painting the Scotch
coast red they fell in with an English
fleet. For rather obscure reasons only
two ships chose to engage, H. NJ S.
Scraps and the q. S. S. Bon Homme
Richard.
At the first broadside the Richards
big 1S-pOunderS burst and Smeared
their crews along the decks or splat-
tered them on the crossbeams over
head. Besides this disaster the swift
Scraps cross Jones' bow and raked
him fore and aft, which in those days
was as good as a home run in the
ninth inning with three men on.
At this point of the combat the Limey
captain staged a famous incident by
his fatuous inquiry: "Has your ship
struck" To which, as every school
boy knows, Jones replied: 81 have
not yet begun to fight"
SO they went at it again. And they
got all tangled up with each other.
Finally they just hung together and
drifted. Yankee rifemen in the tops
drove the British crew below. British
gunners between decks fired through
the sides of their own vessel to pune
ture the enemy's.
Then came Scot, a Yankee Scot,
with a bucket. He filled his bucket
with bombs. He added a pinch of
common combustibles. He slid out on
the yardarm overhanging the Scraps.
He threw match into his bucket,
dropped the bucket down the hatch be-
meath, and beat it.
Followed a puff and a flame and
a bang, great big boom of a bang.
This disaster took all the spunk out
of the enemy. After few boarding
brawls the finish came.
The Richard was sinking and on
fire; her decks were CORY and her
sides like sleeves. But she was saved
and John Paul Jones became the hero
of two continents.

PARTY NEWS.
~ NARY GRAHAM BONNER

There is so much to be told about
the dinner party which was given to
the boy and the girl Adventures
There were little cards in front OF
everyone's place. The chairs were
made of elmwood which Mr.. Wood
Elf had cut down and made. The
walters belong to a walters union
called the Ready-To-Help union They
were relations to the Everything fam
ily
In fact they were first cousins. The
Everything family had had an en-
gagement so they couldn't be at the
dinner, but they sent a telegram of
good wishes. 1t had been one of the
messages which the courier, from the
House of Secrets, had had to deliver
on his way back from seeing the boy
and the girl.
This was what the message said:
Greetings to the boy
Greetings to the girl.
"And the best of luck to you BOTH
And how pleased they We're. Later
on, when they each made their
speeches they thanked for the mes
sage most especially.
This message was read aloud by
Master ThOughtfulneSs who had been
chosen as the master of ceremonies
for the dinner party. For, as Mrs.
GetThe- Most Out-Of-Life explained,
he would be sure to make the party
a great "gO" and wouldn't forget any
thing.
The walters at once began to serve
the food They looked like the little
gnome the boy and girl had first met
on their adventures, who had told
them they would find the answers TO
their questions in the House of Sc
crets. He never went anywhere be-
cause he was too lazy and cared too
much for a life of ease. And the
walters did look a great deal like him
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1921-05-19

except that they weren't so small, not
nearly so small.
The girl told Mrs. Get-The Most
Out-Of-Life that she thought the wait
erS looked something like the little
. gnOme of the woods. TO her surprise
Mrs. Get-TheMost-Out-O f-Life said,
EYES, they're relations too"
But they are very different" said
the girl.
very" said Mrs. GetThe Most-Out-
Of-Life, "and the walters here grew
because they didn't want life Of
ease like the little gnome. Their
minds and their thoughts grew too.
But you see how it is, creatures
can all start out very much alike.
They changed after they got started.
The walters went on and adventured
and took hard roads because they
wanted to get to their goal, and so
they kept growing all the time"
"But it wouldn't be nice to have to
wait all the time, l shouldn't Think"
said the girl
Dear me-" said Mrs Get-The- Most
Out-Of-Life, 'they aren't always wait
ers. Mercy no. They are doing it this
evening as a favor. And they do 1t
for all our parties as favor. That's
why they say they belong to the Wait
ers' Ready-To-Help union. They're
ready, not only to help, but to be wait
ers you see"
They were served a dinner such as
they had never seen before, and GER
tainly never tasted before There was
tomato soup which had been made
from tomatoes, so Master thoughtful
ness said, which had been grown by
Gardener Grow. He could always
make things grow as his name said,
and he had planted these tomatoes in
q hotbed under q glass cover upon
which the sun shone, and the tomatoes
turned out to be the finest, biggest
tomatoes which could be had.
There was chicken broiIed and COW
cred with a sauce which had been
made by the Taste Twins. They were
off now having their maps but they
had done most Of the cooking Of the
dinner AS Master ThOughtfulness al
so explained to the boy and the girl,
the Taste Twins always knew just
how much salt thing needed and how
much sugar and how much pepper.
They didn't taste everything them
selves as their names might make one
think but they knew by instinct just
how everyone felt about the taste OF
what they were cooking and so they
made it to suit just about everyone.
They understood so many tastes and
just how things should be cooked and
the girl and the boy certainly agreed
that they did for they had never had
such fine dinner.
Some of those around the table made
speeches during the dinner and the
boy and the girl did too.

ANUFAcTURERS OF
NEW JERSEY ARE NOW
CRYING FOR CoSSAckS

Manufacturing and business inter
ests in New Jersey will renew their
fight before the legislature for a New
Jersey cossack system and certain
newspapers are molding a public
opinion to this end.
The Trenton Times seizes upon the
crime wave and declares that the
cossacks will round up night providers.
II is clear that cossack friends will
capitalize the hold up in cities and
that they have abandoned former
claims that the fish and game laws
should be enforced, that forest fires
should be lessened, that careless mo-
tor drivers should be arrested and
that the farmers should be protected
from chicken thieves.
These business men, who gouge the
farmer, now seem nightly interested
in the horny handed son of toll.
