between the wheels Of whose carriage is a metal
plate which tells him that this is "Old Betsy
Cannon used by Major George Croghan against
the British and Indians in the defense of Fort
Stephenson, August 1 and 2, 1873" Back of that
brief inscription is the story of one of the most
brilliant feats In American history.
1t is the story of youthful American military
leader and his seven equally youthful subalterns
who set a high example of courage and daring
for future young Americans to emulate, and 1t
is the story Of a gun, Insignificant in appear
ance which vitality affected the course of Amer
lean history. big Bertha of World war fame,
the greatest piece of artillery devised by
man, failed to break the morale Of the French
and lead to a German victory, its builders had
hoped. But "Old Betsy" a little six-pounder
which would be lost in the cavernous depths OF
the World war piece, once turned the tide In a
crucial battle 100 years ago and saved verit-
able empire for the American flag
Before beginning that story, however, first a
brief word about the chief actor in it-Maj.
George Croghan. He was Kentuckian. born
near Louisville November Is, 1871. and neph-
ew of George Rogers Clark, ''the Savior of the
Old Northwest during the Revolution. Grad
uated from William and Mary college In Vir-
ginia at the age of eighteen. he served as
volunteer aid to Colonel Boyd in the expedi-
ton commanded by Gen. William Henry Har-
rison which was sent to break up the conspir-
acy or IeCu1nSel, the great S0dWnee cHlelldlu,
in 1911 Croghan distinguished himself at the
Battle of Tippecanoe, received an appointment
in the army and at the outbreak OF the War of
1912 he was a captain in the Seventeenth in
fantry, from which rank he was promoted to
major In the same regiment for gallantry in a
sortie during the siege of Fort Meigs by the
British.
Soon afterwards he was sent with a battalion
of his regiment composed of some 160 officers
and men, to take command of Fort Stephenson,
a ramshackle old stockade, built around for
mer Indian traders house at the head of naviga-
ton on the Sandusky river, about 20 miles from
Lake Erie, in Ohio. The modern city of Ere
mont now stands on that site but ii is known
in frontier history as Lower Sandusky, rally
ing place for the tribes of the Old Northwest
and the scene of many a dark deed of torture
Of white captives.
The stockade made of posts about 16
feet high and outside them was a dry ditch
or feet wide and or feet deep. 1t en-
closed about an acre of ground and was laid
out in the form of parallelogram with block
house at the northeast corner and a guardhouse
at the southeast. Midway the north wall.
Croghan built another bockhouse from which
he could enfilade the ditch and he also strength
ened the weak places in the stockade.
Despite its unimposing appearance, Fort
Stephenson was an important post. 1t was at the

CHRISTMAS PLAYMATE


Santa was so surprised that
year when he came home to Toy
land after putting all our gifts
where we found them.
He hustled in, pulling off his
red nits and his big, red coat.
There was his favorite breakfast,
the one he always has when he re-
turns from his long Christmas
trip.
There was a whole plate Of
steaming apple pancakes. And
Santa loves those. There was q
big china pot of hot chocolate,
And Santa loves that. But right
next to the pot was the funniest
little doll. You and / know who
she was.

Santa. "She's all made of rags
and I made her"
s'H-m-m-m," said Santa, taking
the doll in his hands. Then he
laughed and Rugged the doll.
Look, | have something for
her. he said. He reached deep
down in pocket and pulled out the
saddest little white wool dog you
ever saw. He was so dirty. One
black bead eye was broken. Only
one golden bell was left on his col
lar and the wool was coming out
of one leg.
