militia and had seen some service In
the war. His courage was communi-
Gated to others and in a short time his
plans were perfected for active resist
ance. Many of the men were absent in
the army, but he succeeded in or
ganizing a force which appears to
have numbered less than 2O-about
one man for each gun on the man-o-
war.
Burnhams prediction about the Brit
ish ship proved correct. She lowered
Offshore and when night fell her lights
could be seen on the water.
Make Stand on Goat Island.
Burnham rOwed across to Goat island.
There was little sleep on the island
that night. They had brought food and
drink-and needed both. When the sun
peeped up from his bed in the ocean
there was a curved line Of rude earth
works on the island shore.
If they were noticed by the English
commander, he seems to have regard
ed them with contempt. No man was
to be seen on the island and thought
of battle was remote from British
minds when they stood cautiously into
the channel and began throwing lead.
Deadly Musketry Fire.
Then came a puff of smoke from the
rocks on shore and a puny musket
shot echoed over the water. The leads
man tOppled and fell. Another took
his place, and he dropped when a sec
Ond musket spoke from shore.
Clear and loud sounded the British
bugle. Sailors manned the guns and
sent solid shot kissing through the
air. Some screamed overhead, while
others kicked up sand and stones or
plunged into the breastwOrks.
There was no fear in the hearts of
the brave old fishermen of Cape POr-
poise. Hugglng their cover they
rammed home bullets and drove them
straight at sailors on deck or through
open portfolios. They were fighting for
homes and loved ones these grim-faced,
sharp-shOOting sons of old Maine.
Twenty hours before every man of
them would have ridiculed the idea of
such a one-sided fight, but now they
had forgotten all about odds against
them and picked their marks with
deadly accuracy. The big guns on
board were laundering as they leaped !
from deck, almost pulling iron ring
bolts from oak with their recOil. |
Shouts, yells, curses and screams of
agony came to their ears from the
smOke-enveloped ship.
Women Pray for Victory.
On the headland old men and chill
dren watched with bated breath while
women prayed silently for a victory
none dared hope for. Out on Goat
island muskets were hot from firing
and men were fighting who had for

GLORIOUS DEED IN
WAR FOR LIBERTY
How Maine Fishermen Beat
of British Warship.
Conflict That Was in Many
Ways Unique in Battles
on Land or Sea.

On the low-lying headland Of Cape
Porpoise, in the town of Kennebunk-
port, Maine, stands a symmetrical
boulder marked by a bronze tablet
cOmmemOrating a battle of the Amer
lean Revolution which stands forth in
the limellght of history as one of the
most unusual and extraordinary
fought in the great war for liberty.
The tablet, erected by Maine State
Council, D. A. R., on the 139th ami
versary of the battle, bears the
legend:
August 8, 1882, a British Ship of
18 guns attacked a small force of in
habitants gathered on Goat Island and
was driven away by severe musketry
fire, losing II men. Lieut.. James Burn
ham of this town was killed"
The march of seven-scOre years has
dealt gently with the cape whose
rocky slopes echoed to the wild
whOOps of Indian warriors a century
before they cast back the sullen boom
of British cannon. For this is historic
ground.
Yonder on Stage island, beleaguered
fishermen fought long and desperately
against overwhelming hOrdes of saw
ages until heroic Nick MOrey-crip-
lled in limb, but stout of heart-made
his perilOus night voyage in a leaky
skiff to Portsmouth, % miles away to
summon reinfOrcements. which arrived
when the last split bullet was rammed
home on the last charge of powder.
Worthy of Remembrance.
Only the bare facts of the battle of
August 8, 1882, have been recorded
and few historians have mentioned the
affair It's effect on the nations des-
tiny was slight, indeed, and perhaps
for this reason it has been ignored by
many and briefly dealt with by others
but the battle of Goat island is de-
serving of more attention, for it is per-
haps the only instance of the Revolu-
tiOn where unframed soldiers, armed
with muskets, defeated a ship-Of-war
whose crew Outnumbered them ten to
one.
Such information as is ObtainabIe by
exhaustive research leads one to be-

Paul ReUere Was Artist,
EngraUer and Dentist

Paul Revere, famous for his histOr-
ical ride during the Revolutionary
war, seems to have been one of those
men who can do anything and do it
well. He was an artist and an engrav-
er of both wood and metal He was
a silversmith of rare skill, and he even
turned his attention to dentistry in the
early days when dentistry was barely
beginning to be a science. There is
still extant one of his advertisements
of 1776, reading:
whereas, many Persons are so un-
fortunate as to lose their Foreteeth by
Accident, and Otherways, to their great
Detriment, not only in looks, but speak
ing both in Public and Private-This
is to inform all such, that they may
have them Replaced with artificial
Ones, that looks as well as the Natural,
and answers the End Of Speaking to
all Intents, by Paul Revere"
When, quite a while after Bunker
Hill, it was desired to remove the body
Of General Warren from its first rest
ing place, it was Paul Revere who
identified it by an artificial tooth and
the wire he had used to fasten it in
Detroit News.

AS a battle the affair at Cane POr.
poise was neither great nor long. nor
productive of tremendous results. For
stark fighting, muskets against can
non, land forces against naval, and IN
trained soldiers against overwhelming
numbers of disciplined sailors. it
should be treasured forever in the
archives of American history.
Unique as Battle.
Soldiers on land have fought sailors
on water before and since; but per
haps this battle is unique. Ours is a
glorious history, a history bright with
deeds of herOism and devotion sublime
but it records few instances in which
a handful of raw militia defeated
fully-manned and heavily armed
man-Of-war.
And so, as one stands by the boulder
on Cape POrpOise and reads the in
scription thereon, there comes with
the tang Of the sea and cries of low
flying gulls an inspiration. Eyes are
lifted to rest on Goat island and in
fancy one visions the scene of long
ago, and his pulse will quicken and
his blood tingle with patriotic pride
as he pictures the stirring spectacle
Of handful Of sturdy fishermen pitted
in a death-grapple with scores of
trained annOneers.-BOstOn Sunday

Fertilizer Great Help
to Grower of Potatoes

Earl f. Miller, according to an
nouncement, leads all other members
of the Jay county potato club, with
a yield of ASA bushels of potatoes
per acre. His methods, which may
be of interest to other growers, are as
follows:
For seed, he used certified Rural
New Workers, his soil being a sandy
loan. The seed was treated with
formaldehyde. He applied 600 pounds
per acre of a 2-12-6 fertilizer. One
section of the field was left unferti-
lized. Yields were estimated from the
weights of potatoes dug in representa-
tive sections of the fertilized and un-
fertilized areas. The potatoes receiv-
ing GOO pounds of 2-12-6 fertilizer, av-
eraged 41S.4 bushels per acre. Those
from the unfertilized section averaged
1916 bushels per acre less.
