The Lion Roared The roaring of the March lion was plainly heard on Sunday. A high wind with snow flurries was prevalent over this entire section. But then you can always expect this in March. Those who have been obliged to use country roads in the past several weeks, have found them badly drifted. Duplicates Joke-Book Feat . A feat similar to those told of in "A Siow Train Through Arkansas,” was performed by No. 11, near Milford Junction last Thursday. A load of logs leisurely approached the crossing at about the same time as the train. The driver of the horses camly pulled onto the crossing and the driver of the locomotive obligingly stopped the train until the load of logs was safely on its way. The driver of the horses wants to “look a leedle oudt”4hat he don’t run across some engineer that isn’t quite so obliging.

MEWIMHK! IS HIED IT WB Temperance Forces Place New Document on Record Friday of Last Week - An act that almost entirely prej eludes the possibility of liquor I licenses being renewed in Turkey | Creek township next June was per- | formed by the local temperance [forces last Friday, when a new (remonstrance, bearing 310 names • was filed at Warsaw. According to the figures decided t upon by the court last spring- 281 ; names are all that are needed to i make the remonstrance valid, coni sequently there are 29 signatures to j spare on the new document. Those i who are prone to view the situation dispassionately concede victory to i the dry element and when the present license expires on June 27, it will probably be the end & of saloons in Turkey Creek township, at least for a year, when the law makes it possible for another election. jscbool Uotes | Syracuse By Iva Deardorff I ' George McVicker has withdrawn | from school.

A MUCH NEEDED REFORM. ’ Although stock shipments have bean increasing in volume steadily during the past sixty years and have reached huge proportions within the past fifteen years, only recently has a move been made which has in view prevention of the recurring weekly congestion of stock shipments at large markets. Taking Chicago as an example, this congestion of traffic has usually occurred on Mondays and Wednesdays. I The result of this system, which there is good reason to believe big packing i interests have encouraged in the past, ' raisers and shippers of live stock have : sustained immense losses through hav- ' ing to sell on a glutted market. Be- ■ sides this, railroads and their employj ees have been swamped with traffic 1 and have also suffered loss through i congestion and delays. With a view to ' giving the new plan publicity, circulars have been prepared and distributed in [ which shippers are encouraged to dis--1 tribute their stock shipments over five I days in the week instead of concentrat--1 ing them on two days. Shippers of live i stock, who without question have been i the chief losers as a result of the system which has prevailed, should welcome the new- order, which should mean better service and. more even | prices.

Washington’s Spy He Had. Unique Way of Gettag By F. A. MITCHEL While visiting one of the historic houses in northern New Jersey—ami there are a number of such houses still standing—l noticed among other, relies of bygone times one of those I quaint, old fashioned f clocks standing I some six or seven feet high. One may | see a clock of this kind frequently in I these days, either an antique or made - to look antique, so that there was noth I ing especially peculiar about this one I except that it was a very large one. My host, noticing me looking at it. told me a story about the timepiece. “All the antique furniture in this house. - ’ he said, “has been here since I 1756. though some of it is earlier th :u ; that. There is a bed upstairs in which | General Washington slept when hi passeel through" this place when he was going to make his heudejuarters at Morristown. My great gntiidni-.. er, then a girl of seventeen, was here at the time and has left an account of the flutter in the family occasioned | by the presence of the commander in chief and a description of him. “Washington passed on up to Morris-' town, from’ where he kept in touch with all the region between New York and Philadelphia. He learned much from the patriots living hereabout, but, his principal source of information i was spies, whom he sent in different directions. “One of these emissaries was a Lieutenant Rogers, a fearless youngster, but so gallant that he was very liable to spend more time with the girls than in looking after the movements of the enemy. Nevertheless he seemed to pick up more information than any of the other spies, and for this reason Washington relied much upon him. Though his commander did not know it. the secret of Rogers' success was that he had away of getting news from girts in whose homes British otti eers had been quartered and who had heard their talk. What they said Rogers usually wormed out of the girls. With the patriot girts he had no trouble; with the Tories he succeeded by making love to them. “One day the young officer came | through here on his way to New York j where he was going to gather infonna j tion of Howe's army, then occupying I that city. My great-grandmother—the I one 1 was telling you about—was the I only one of the family who synnwithiz ed with the royalists. The reason toil this was that she had been at school in England and had returned but a I short time before the Revolution broke out. Rogers, instead of going to New York, dallied here. My great-grand mother—Catherine was her name—was sweet on him, and perhaps the reason he stayed was that he was getting more out of her about the British plans than he was likely to get in New York. Anyway, Howe and a party of his officers had been here only a day or two before. “Rogers could have got out of Cath I erine all she knew—so I should sup; pose— within a week, although it may have taken more lovemaking than could be done within that time to de the job. But he stayed two weeks. Most of this time he was sitting up tc my great-grandmother—l mean Cath erine—and whether he was doing the business of his general or making love for the fun of it 1 don't know. But one evening his courting or spy work, or whatever tt was, came to a sudden end. It was 11 o’clock at night, an hour which in those days found every-1 body in bed. but Rogers and my great grandmother—Catherine—were sitting together in this very room. The clock stood exactly where it does now. Suddenly there came a tramp of horses’ hoofs, a clatter of side arms and * rap at the front door. ‘‘Rogers, thinking that a party of Britishers were without, looked about for a hiding place. The girt stepped to the clock, opened the door and hade him get inside. He did so, and she went to the door and opened it. “Who should be there but General Washington. He -came into this room, followed by his officers. He asked Catherine if she. had seen or heard anything of Lieutenant Rogers. She, knowing that her lover would rather be caught there by the redcoats than by his general, declared that she knew nothing about him. Washington turned away, saying that several weeks before he had sent Rogers on a mission and since he had not returned the general feared he had been captured by the enemy. “All would have gone well had not Rogers been taken with an uncontrollable desire to sneeze. Suddenly a loud ca-chew came from the clock. The general, fancying a Tory might be hidden there, went to the clock and opened it There cringed Rogers, red as a beet “ ‘How now, lieutenant?’ said Washington. ‘ls this the way you get information. dallying with Mistress Catherine? However, lam mightily pleased to find you alive. I believed you had Suffered the fate of Captain Hale and been hanged for a spy.’ “Well, Rogers was received with shouts of laughter by the officers, but it was said that he gave Washington important information he had got out of Catherine and lost nothing of the general's favor.” “Was this Lieutenant Rogers a progenitor of yours?” I asked my host “Sure—he was my great-grandfa-ther!” Notice of Administration.
