HOW GREAT MEN
MAKE LOVE
AS REVEALED BY THEIR
LOVE LETTERS
BY JOSEPH KAYE
20 BY Wheeler syndicate. lnc.J
NATHAN HALE AND ALICIA
ADAMS
BY JOSEPH KAYE 4

NATHAN HALE died Just as he
- came Of age but the fates recon-
2epsed him to some extent by allowing
aim to enjoy six years Of love.
When Hale was youth Of fifteen.
ne met Alicia Adams of his own age,
beautiful and clever. Nathan's broth
ar, Enoch, also met Alicia and he, too,
found her beautiful and clever. The
result was that both brothers fell in
owe with the young girl. Nathan. how
ever, was the favored one and when
he left for college, he had the happi-
ness Of knowing that his love was re-
:iprocated.
Then something happened which
threw boulder in the path of the
youthful lovers. Mamma Adams and
sister Adams objected to Nathan and
the long wait for his maturity and sue
,ess in life and their constant persua-
sions at length had the desired effect.
Alicia married an estimable neighbor
named Elijah Ripley. She married him
with regret and perhaps she was not
very sorrowful when Elijah went to
the> arms Of his fathers year later
and left the nineteen-year-old matron
a widow.
With Ripley's death, Nathan and
Alicia were again drawn towards each
other. They became reunited in love
and their engagement was formally an
nounced. Then destiny again inter-
fered. Hale Joined the army and be-
came one Of Washington's most jealous
officers. His duty to his country was
his paramount thought and no under
taking was too dangerous for him. So
It was when Washington asked for a
Keen-witted officer to send on an i'm
portant expedition into the enemy's
lines. Hale volunteered and was &C
.epted.
The young hero never carfe back.
Disguised as Dutch schoolmaster, lie
obtained all the plans and memoranda
he was after but as he was returning
he was caught. The next morning,
without the consolation Of minister
Or even a Bible, he was hanged, dying
with these immortal words on his lips:
II only regret / have but one life to
lose for my country"
The following Is a rhymed letter Hale
sent to Alicia when the ardor Of his
love found mere prose Inadequate to
the expression OF his sentiments:
"Alicia, born with striking charm.
with the gift to ravish and the heart to
warm! Fair is thy form. still fairer
in mind. with beauty, wisdom and
sweetness joined. -.
"Oh, friend sincere, of soul divinely
great; shedilest thou for me, a wretch,
the sorrowed tear-what thanks can !
in this unhappy state return to you
hut gratitude sincere! All. dearest
girl. in whom the gods have Joined the
real, blessings which themselves APP
prove-can mortals frown at such a
heavenly mind when gods propitious
shine for thy love?
Ear from the seat of pleasure now
| roam; the pleasing landscape now no
more l see. Yet absence never shall
take my thoughts from home, nor time
efface my regard for thee"

Proposed bond issues for schools, a library, an incinerator system, com, pletion of the municipal auditorium and paving of First avenue, have split the city commission wide open.
