museum board says that the picture had
been down two or three years before its dis
appearance was commented upon, whether
or not it had been observed. but that it was
fitting to return it to the walls for the bicen-
tennial celebration of Washington's birth.
IF the New York museum has only an
occasional use for the picture some other
possession should be arranged. Americans
who admire it. and have affection for it, and
an interest in it will not be impressed by
criticism of it as spirited historical paint
ing which has acquired historical value in it's
own right. Copies of it have been familiar
to Americans Of several generations. and it |
is associated with the most critical military
event of the revolution which produced the
republic Although Washington probably
never would have got out of the lee III that
posture, nevertheless III it he seems to pro-
iect the resolution which carried his men
into Trenton. The spirit of the event, the
character of the leader, and the feeling of
the people for the picture forbid it place
III a storeroom. 1t is not necessary for it
to breathe with the genius of very great
painter to be entitled to place where it can
be seen. If the New York museum feels
that its room on the wall is to be preferred
% it, after the Washington celebration, then
mother custodian should be found and the
painting kept on exhibition.

Pompey, the Negro Spy

NATHAN HALE was an American
spy who was discovered and paid
the penalty on the gallows. but his
regret that he had only one life to
give for his country has made him
immortal. Pompey was an American
spy who helped make possible one OF
the most brilliant victories of the
Revolution but his name and his ex-
nloits alike are almost unknown. Pom
pey was only q negro slave.
Pompey was the property and man
of-all-work Of Captain Lamb who lived
on small fruit farm near Stony
Point, N. \. then held by British
garrison. In the spring Of 17T9 Pom
pey began selling strawberries to tho
British soldiers who welcomed this
addition to their rations and became
steady customers. So Pompey became
a daily visitor and the British took
no notice Of the fact that the negro
was spending more and more time
each day within the walls of the fort.
They little realized that he was re-
porting everything he saw to his mas
ter and that Captain Lamb was pass
ing this information along to Gen
Anthony Wayne, who was already
making his plans for the capture OF
Stony Point.
About the middle OF July Pompey
notified the British officers that he
could no longer come to the fort In
daytime since his master kept him
busy hoeing corn. Still unsuspecting
and unwilling to do without the other
fruit which the negro was bringing
after the strawberry season was over,
the officers told him to bring his wares
at night and gave him the countersign
so that he could pass the sentries.
Every night he was told the counter
sign which would admit him the next
nfynss and this information was par
ticularly valuable to the kind of at
tack which General Wayne had
planned.
The night before the proposed at
tack Pompey brought word that the
countersign was to he THE fort Is our
own" and offered to guide the Amer
leans. Early in the evening Of July
Is, Wayne set out and the negro led
the little army to within ii mile and
4 half of the fort. There final prepa-
rations were made for the assault
and at midnight the attack was made.
The cry with which Wayne's men
swept into battle was the countersign
which pompey had given them-"The
fort is cur own and after - minutes
of bloody work with the bayonet that
cry was true for the Americans.

each year for articles that could and should
be purchased from local concerns If such
la practice were carried on by everybody, the
life of every small community center would
be snuffed out with startling suddenness.
One, however, has as good right to send
]their money out of town as another, and
we should keep this fact uppermost in our
minds, as well as the disastrous results such
a policy would bring to all of us. We have
no right to expect or ask the people of this
