FROM BOYHOOD TO Old AGE

I
wine battle ground where one of thu
bloodiest battles Of the Revolution
airy War was fought on September
II, 1777. General Howe's army con
sisted Of eighteen thousand men
and General Washington's clever
thousand, three to two. We saw the
old church which was occupied as
a hospital after the battle was over
We viewed the General Lafayette's s
monument and took some notes
from Il.
The next stop was Dover. the
Capital of Delaware, which is the
Oldest first capital in the United
States. There we visited the State
library and got some names of the
soldiers who fought in the Revolu-
tion, and also had lunch in Dover.
From there we went to Georgetown,
the county seat of Sussex county
and went to the recorders Office in
the court house and got a copy of
my great-grandfather's will. My
great-grandfather was David Long
and he wrote the will in 1885.
We drove on down to Selbyville
for a few days. then returned to
Philadelphia.
While on another visit to Selby-
vile, my granddaughter, Maud
Tingle Jarvis took me to Lewes,
where the Dutch sailed into the
mouth of the Delaware River in
1882; Captains DuFosse and Goodwin
on May 8. 1882, with a load of i'm
igrants and settled the colonies On
the banks of what is known as
Lewes today, and where the Dutch
hall now stands.
While there we had dinner with
Mrs. Nellie McCabe Barnett and al
so collected my twenty pieces Of an
tiques, which had been there on ex-
hibit for three years in the Zwaan-
endael Hall. On my way home we
stopped at Senator John G. Town
sends big orchard on Swans Greek,
near Oak Orchard and got supply
of apples.
Another Of my trips that inter-
ested me was when my grandson,
William Law was in the training
camp at Fort Washington. All par
ents were invited on the twenty
first of July. My other grandson,
James Law took me and my daugh-
ter Vurta and my little grandson
Donald. There we passed over the
great dam at Conowingo electric
plant, then through Baltimore and
Washington, d. c.. out to Fort
Washington, which is fourteen
miles south Of Washington, D. c., on
the banks Of the Potomac. On the
banks were fifteen hundred young
men in training. Uncle Sam gave us
a nice chicken dinner. After looking
the place over we returned home
that night.
December 6, 1887
When l awakened in the morning
realized that 1t was my 91st birth
day, and | had reached the 91st
milestone Of my road of life, and
expect to start on the march toward
the 92nd. which is just around the
corner. My daughter gave me a
nice Dutch dinner which she knew
always enjoy. She had invited Mrs.
Annie Holland Heather who is S4.
Mrs. Lizzie Evans who is 81. Mrs.
Raymond Long, Miss Minnie Bishop,
Mrs. Daisy Long and my three
srandsons were at home with US. 1

tee of the National Federation of
Women's Republican Clubs and also
in honor of members of the Republ-
can National Committee.

that body will be able to attend the

Cantacuzene, Mrs. Edward E. Gam,
Mrs. James j. Davis, Mrs. George
Madden Grimes. Mrs. Henry Curtis

Not the least of the attractions
of the tea will be the opportunity 1t
will afford for leaders to discuss the
significance of Republican gains in
recent elections. Miss Marion E.
Martin. who is executive director Of
the national federation, as we'll as
assistant chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee, summed
up the prevailing reaction when she
remarked: 1--WE don't have to make
statements. You can tell how we
feel from our voices!"

Smiths Discipline

The famous Capt. John Smith,
who nursed the infant colony Of Vir-
ginia, found his responsibilities
troublesome indeed. Few Of the
colonists were energetic or indus
trious. Capt. Smith punished idle
ness with starvation and to cure
swearing, a sin even In the wilder
ness, he had a daily account kept Of
each mans oaths, and at night, as
a penalty for each oath, he poured a
can of cold water down the offenders
sleeve.
