MOLLY PITCHER

Pitcher (he gunner Is brisk am! young; He’s a lightsome heart nml a merry tongue, An ear like a fox, an eye like a hawk, A foot that would sooner run than walk. And a hand that can touch the linstock home As the lightning darts from the thunderdome. He bates a tory; he loves a fight; The roll of the drum Is his heart's delight; And three things rule the gunner's life: Hfs conntry, his gun, and Ills Irish wife. Oh, Molly, with your eyes so blue! Ob, Molly, Molly, here's to you! Sweet Honor's roll will nye be richer To hold the name of Mohy Pitcher. A bullet comes singing over the brow, And—Pitcher's gun is silent now. Tho brazen throat that roared his will, The shout of his warlike Joy, Is still. The black Ups curl, but they shoot no flame, And the voice that cries on the gunner's name Finds only it's echo where he lie* With his steadfast fnee turned up to the skies. Oh, Molly, Molly, where he lies His last look meets your faithful eyes; His last thought sinks from love to love Of your darling face that bends above. "No one to serve In Pitcher’s stead? Wheel back the gun!” the captain said; When, like a flash, before him stood A figure dashed with smoke and blood. With streaming hair, and eyes of flame, And lips that falter the gunner’s name. "Wheel back his gun, that never yet His fighting duty did forget? His voice shall speak, though he He dead;

A LUCKY FOURTH

BY WELDON J. COBB.

CYO ©THING had been talked of nt JIVI Fordham for a w eek but picnics, viYJ buggy drives, ice cream and fireworks, for Fourth of July was near at hand, but to pretty Nellie Boyd Independence Day meant anxiety and dissatisfaction. . Nellie had two lovers- Roy Newton and Hugh Dennison. Roy was full of “smart talk,’’ flashing like a meteor. Hugh was plain, honest and earnest, a giant In athletic sports, and with inborn reverence and respect for all womankind. Nellie was in a quandary. Roy had asked her to go on a steamboat exenralon*t>n the Fourth, Hugh to the picnic of the local Veter.ma’ Club. She knew not which invitation to accept. On the Ist of July Nellie kept out of the way of the luckless swains. July 2 aha received an unexpected letter. It cut the Gordion knot. In great relief she indited two .dainty notes. That evening two young men entered the postoflice. When they came out each had a letter. Roy went around one corner hurriedly—Hugh turned another, his heart beating like a trip-hammer. Absorbed, these two young gentlemen unconsciously walked around the block and met. Hugh stammered, Roy flushed —both looked sheepish. “Er—going anywhere particular the Fourth?” inquired Roy. “I was,” replied Hugh, “but this settles it,” and he frankly exhibited Nellie’s missive. "I reckon we are In the same boat,” pursued Hugh. “We’re left on the same Kiri, but that don't blot out the Fourth of July entirely, does it?” “Too late to ask another girl,” grumbled Roy. “Oh, I wasn’t thinking of another girl,” answered Hugh, loyally. “I was wondering if you and I couldn't go off somewhere and have a pleasant day of it? I put aside some money for the Fourth, and I guess it's patriotic to spend it.” They arranged to take the train down to Brocton the next day and put in the Fourth at that place. Nellie’s letters had told them that a distant school friend had written asking her to spend the Fourth with her, and she had accepted the invitation. They reached Brocton, got a meal at a restaurant, and here Roy left his satchel, promising to return and arrange about a hotel later. Hugh wished he was back home, for as aoon as Roy had found out he had brought only five dollars with him, he had acted very coldly. Hugh was wandering down a rather 111-looking street when he noticed a barber shop. "I believe I'll get a haircut,” he derided, aml entered the place. There was solid luxury in the velvet chair, and soothing influence iii the barber's deft touch. Hugh fell asleep. When he awoke he looked into the mirror startled. His hair was a creation of art. His incipient mustache was a streak of glittering black. He was oiled, scented, pomaded from scalp to throat! “Monsieur nodded ‘Yes,’ when I asked shampoo? hair dye? sea foam? extraCt rosa de-rose? curl mustache?” explained the wily artist. “But—view monsieur’s superb ensemble! And only three dollars and eighty-five cents!” “What!” shonted Hugh. Glibly the barber ran over the Items. They tallied. Hugh got boisterous. The

I'll serve my husband's gun!” she said. Oh, Molly, now your hour is come! Up, girl, and strike the linstock homel Leap out, swift ball! Away! away! Avenge the gunner's death to-day! All day the great guns barjted and roared; All day the big balls screeched and soared; All day, ’mid the sweating gunners grim, Who tolled in their smoke shroud dense and dim. Sweet Molly labored with courage high, With steady hand and watchful eye, Till the day was ours, and the sinking sun Looked down on the field of Monmouth won, And Molly standing beside her gun. Now, Molly, rest your weary arm! Safe, Molly, all is Safe from harm. Now. woman, bow your aching head, And weep tn sorrow o’er your dead! Next day on that field so, hardly won. Stately and calm stands Washington, And looks where our gallant Greene doth lead A figure clad In motley weed— A soldier’s cap and a soldier’s coat Masking a woman's petticoat. He greets our Molly in kindly wise; He blds her raise her fearful eyes; And now he halls her before them all Comrade and soldier, whate'er befall. 'And since she has played a man's full part, A man's reward for her loyal heart! And Sergeant Molly Pitcher's name Be writ henceforth on the shield of fame!” Oh, Molly, with your eyes so blue! Oh, Molly, Molly, here's to you! Sweet Honor's roll will aye be richer To hold the name of Molly Pitcher. —Laura E. Richards, In St. Nicholas.

barber called n policeman. Hugh adjusted the infamous swindle, and wrathfully returned to the restaurant. Roy had called for his satchel and departed. "He's too mean to train with!'’ commented Hugh, bitterly—"he has given me the slip purposely. I’m too common for him?’ Hugh had just enough money to pay his railroad fare home, but the evening train had departed. He was not hungry, but 41P was sleepy. He walked to the city’s edge, and turning in among some .bushes, slept as he had often slept at home—on the soft grass, under the quiet stars. It was about 5 o’clock Fourth of July morning when Hugh awoke. In the distance echoed fitful spurts of explosive sound, but nearer noises disturbed him. A horse, riderless, hut heavily saddled, had slipped down the embankment. Struggling to right itself, the steed rolled almost over on Hugh. He grasped out and caught the saddle girth. It snapped loose, he fell back, narrowly escaping the Hying hoofs, and the horse sprang up Into the road again and dashed oft wildly. "A runaway!” murmared Hugh—‘‘and some one after it.” Into view galloped a h»resman, who halted with a shock. He glared down at Hugh, leveling a pistol. “Quick!” he demanded—“did you see a horse?” “Of course I did.” answered Hugh, boldly facing. "Don't you hear him?” In the distance sounded the hoofs of the runaway. With a growl the man started in pursuit before Hugh could refer to the saddle. This the horse had left behind him in the bushes. Hugh examined its bulging flaps. The leather pockets were bursting with bank notes, silver and postage stamps. Hugh did a heap of thinking. Th<fn he covered the saddle with brush, and went into the city. Early editions of the morning papers were just out. Newsboys were shouting: “Full account of the postoffice robbery!” Hugh purchased a paper. Amid the rising pop and bang of early fireworks, he read of the burglary of the local postoffice—booty secured, twenty thousand dollars; reward offered, ten per cent. Hugh went to the nearest police station and told his story. There was no doubt

PUZZLE PICTURE PICK OUT THE PATRIOT.

bgt that he had in hiding the plunderstuffed saddle of a runaway horse of the thieves. As Hugh left the station, two hours after the saddle had ben sent for, and the stolen booty Identified, he carried in. his pocket an order for two thousand dollars. A patrol wagon just then drove up, loaded with youpg men. He started as he recognized among them his recreant comrade Roy, one of a coterie arrested in a gambling haunt. Hugh secured his release and loaned him twenty-five dollars to get to a distant relative in temporary humble retirement. That was a lucky Fourth of July for Hugh. A few evenings later, when he modestly told his story to the Boyds, Nellie looked pleased, and her father observed : “You showed yourself no spendthrift with your five dollars. Hugh, if you did get tricked out of most of it —and as you have two thousand in bank as a nest egg, why not settle down and gtt married?” This was plain and plump. Nellie blushed. Later, she hid her head on sturdy Hugh’s shoulder as he asked her: "Roy or Hugh, dear; which is it to be?” There was no hesitation in the answer, and brate, loyal Hugh was'hnude happy.

The Patriotic Spirit.

Every boy and girl in America may well be prond of the bright flag which waves above so many school houses today; and the youth of other countries also love their national flag and their native land, so that the patriotic spirit is not confined to any one people nor to any one period of human history. Just because that spirit is sweetest where the people are most earnest to seek the happiness of all their countrymen, it is right that we study the history of other countries and peoples, to see if we can learn from them that which will make us more blessed and prosperous. Sometimes we think that there never was a country where everybody had so much cause for being happy as in these United States. And sometimes we forget that nearly all the laws, maxims and incentives to patriotism which move our Own hearts and bless mankind had their real origin long before Greece and Rome were known to history. The trals of our forefathers when they first landed upon these shores and during their gradual attainment of national independence never fail to awaken sympathy. And yet the most noteworthy adoption of a new country b.v'h wandering people was that of the Hebrew. The devotion of his Hebrew ancestors to their native land xvhen they were captive exiles, far away from home, is a sublime type of the patriotic spirit in its noblest and best expression: “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning! If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!”—Gen. Henry B. Carrington, U. S. A.

After the Fourth.

Hurrah! hurrah, for the glorious Fifth, And our boys who survived the fray; Who wear the scar*, of the bloodless wars, They fought and won in a day. The shouting, screeching, howling mob That rent the beav'ns with noise! Are these sweet things, tied In leading strings, Those same distracting boys? But yesterday they were soldier lads, Marching to flfe and drum; While with frowning brow each told us how He was going to make things bum. “You bet we will.” And you bet they did! They’re now the Invalid Corps, With blackened stains, and powder grains. But safe at home once more. Then hurrah, hurrah, for tho glorious Fifth! Hurrah for our patriot kids, Who are laying low—for repairs, you know. And doing as mother bids.

A Commercial Spirit.

“Yes,” said the aristocrat, “I was Indignant, and I wrote him that the clandestine marriage of our son to his daughter was a blot on the family ‘scutcheon, and—will you believe It?— his only reply was to send me an advertisement of a new brand of soap he Is just putting on the market!” _

Papa’s Definition.

“Papa, what is a diplomatist?” “Any man, my son, whose wife re spects him.’’—Life.

MITCHELL CALLS CONVENTION.

Question of General Strike Will Be Settled at the Meeting. Under direction of ' President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America the long-expected call for a special national convention of mine workers was issued Wednesday by SecretaryTreasurer Wilson. The convention will be held in Indianapolis July 17, and will determine whether the soft-coal miners of the conntry shall go out on strike to assist the striking anthracite miners of Pennsylvania. Much depends on the miners of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, who will cut a prominent figure in the convention. The basis of the apportionment of delegates to the convention is one for every 100 members of the local union or fraction over fifty. This will make a convention of 1,000 delegates. The voting strength of all locals is between 2,300 and 2,400. Of this the convention will have a voting strength of from 1,700 to 1,800. A bare majority can order a strike. The anthracite regions cast 747 votes, Virginia and Michigan, which joined in the call for the convention, have fifty-two, making 799 votes from those five districts which united to call the convention. As stated at the headquarters conditions are not satisfactory to miners In Missouri, Kansas. Arkansas and Indian Territory, and it is believed the delegates from those sections will vote for a strike. The miners of Ohio are understood to be opposed to a strike, while those of Illinois, Indiana and lowa are in doubt. The formal call for the convention details at length what unions are empowered to send delegates, the number of delegates to be sent, the method to be pursued in choosing them, etc.

RAILROADS

The annual mileage of mail transportation by railroads in 1875 was 75.154,910 miles; in 1901 it was 302,013,323 miles.
