careers? Were those incidents
which are preserved in the school
books the only ones worthy OF
mention? In partial answer to
those questions are offered these
''footnotes to history" to help you
recall on this, the two-hundredth
anniversary of their birth, these
three notables in the history Of
Americas struggle for liberty.
When Ethan, "The Strong"
grew into young manhood, he
found Connecticut too narrow a
sphere of action for his tremen-
dous energies. After farming a
bit, mining bit and wandering
from place to place, he finally
landed in the region into which
he fitted so perfectly. 1t was the
frontier country between New
Hampshire and New York known
as the 'sNew Hampshire Grants.
There he acquired nearly l00,-
600 acres of wilderness lands by
grants from the New Hampshire
provincial government. But this
territory was also claimed by
the province of New York who
tried in vain to colonize it, for
it was already held by squat
tiers" called "the Green Noun
tain Boys"
A Name Of Terror.
Before long the name of Ethan
Allen was a name of terror to
settlers who dared come there
with their New York grants and
to the officials whom Governor
Golden sent to survey the lands
and try to enforce New York's
title. Cabins were offered as
burnt sacrifices to the Gods of
the World" and the settlers
driven out with instructions to
go your way now and complain
to that Damned Scoundrel, Your
Governor. Damn your Governor,
Laws, King, Council and Assem-
bly," In despair, the officials of
New York proclaimed Ethan Al
len an outlaw and placed a price
on his head. Ethan retaliated
with a similar proclamation
against the governor of New
York. So the war of words, and
from time to time a more serious
war of action, continued.
Then came the outbreak of the
Revolution and Ethan Allen, en-
barking upon what was ostensibly
a patriotic expedition but what
was in reality move to safe
guard the frontiers of his wilder
ness commonwealth in case of
war between Canada and the
United Colonies, marched with
his screen Mountain Boys" and
with Benedict Arnold against tt
conderoga. There, on the early
morning of May 10, IT'S, he ut
tered the phrase which won him
an imperishable place in Ameri-
can history.
An Anti Climax.
The capture of Ticonderoga
was q brilliant achievement but.
unfortunately for Aliens future
fame, the remainder of his Revo-
lutionary war career was a sad
anti-climax. Later he organized
a filibustering expedition into
Canada with the object of captur-
ing Montreal, but after a short
and almost farcical campaign he
was captured by the British.
Kept as a prisoner of war until
1778, he then returned to his
wilderness commonwealth, by
now organized under the name
OF Vermont but still not a menu

Great Power Of Lightning

One of the most astonishing things
about lightning is the power oenino
a bolt, according to an authority.
It REQUIRES an electromotive force
of about 100 million volts before ule
discharge can take place. The cur.
rent in an average bolt is lOO'Oou
amperes. This represents power
of ten billion kilowatts. Each hgnt.
ming fash we see has the power OF
thousand Boulder dam nyoroeiec-
trio plants. And lightning flashes on
the average of q hundred or SO uines
each minute in this country.

A Jockey received SAC, 900 because
of a race in which he lid not ride,
own, officially train, or bet on the
winner? XXI. r
That was in 1902 when the French
filly, Rose di Mai, won the Prix de
Diane at ChantilIy. Tod Sloane, per-
haps the greatest jockey Of all time.
had been barred for two years by
the English Jockey club because he
had committed the heinous Offense
of betting on his own mounts. So ne
had come to Paris and 1t was
charged that he had worked the flly
i'm trials for the stake.
This annoyed the French Jockey
club, which then had tight work
ing agreement with the British lords
of the turf. The stewards contend
ed that Tod had been refused a
Jockeys license and consequently
was not in good standing. So, as
punishment for his reported appear
ance as an exercise boy, they ex-
PEELED him from the French turf.
Tod sued and the case excited
comment over all the racing world
while il dragged on into the highest
court of appeals. Finally when the
housekeeping jockey. who had ar
rived in Europe several years previ-
ousIy with $3.50. 900 bankroll. was
down to his last pound the verdict
arrived.
It created q legal precedent for
the turf but probably Tod never con-
cerned himself about that. Starting
with the $4,000 received Ill dam
ages he soon was happily engaged
in winning (and losing) new for
tune almost as large as the one
he previously had accumulated.
A group of American Olympic ath-
letes were forced to replace their
drinking water with light wines?
That was when the u. s. team was
ON the way to Athens for the 1906
games. A stop was made at an
Italian port and customs inspectors
noted the huge Jars Of mineral
water.
Such a new-fangled aid to the
well-conditioned athletes was be-
yond the comprehension of the in
spectors. Visitors always were try
ing to work new smuggling tricks
on them and they thought they
knew gin when they saw it. So they
confscated this contraband "gin."
But even though they were weak
on Yankee notions, the Italians
were as strong on international gal
lantry as they were on red tape.
Even now there are members Of
that team who smack their lips as
they recall the gallons of vino which
replaced, at the inspectors ex-
pense, each drop Of "gin" water.
Bill Tilden turned down a $50, 900
offer to turn pro?

In 1871 Paine was associated

THE PREACHER

(The Emmett Messenger, Emmett Ida)
 Someone is always writing about doctors and law and teachers. but seldom you find space devot ed to that humble known the preacher May be if hadn't been for the thoughtfulness of Missouri editor you would have had pen picture of the preacher. But he has thought write ope and in belief that citizens will enjoy reading it, the liberty of reproducing it-ard here it is:
 The preacher has great time. If his hair is gray, he is too old. If he young man. he has not had perience enough. If he has ten children, he has many If he has none he is setting bad example. If his wife sings in the choir she is presumng and he does she isn't interested in her husbands work If the preacher reads from notes, he's bore and if he speaks extemporaneously he isn't deep enough. If he stays at home in his study he doesn't mix enough with people; if he is around the he ought to be at home getting up good If he calls the he playing the grandsand he calls the homes of the wealthy, he is aristocrat
 "Whatever be does, someone could have told him how to do it better. Yes, the preacher has great time,"
