F ALL the military organizations which served in wars on the North American continent, few were more | picturesque or had a more romantic history and none, probably, ever engaged in more desperate “forlorn hopes” than those which at least twice fell to the lot of the regiment officially designated as the Fortysecond Foot, a line regiment in the armies of his majesty, the king of England, also known as the Forty-

second Highlanders, but best remembered as the Black Watch.” The ‘‘Black Watch," according to C. M. Bomberger, editor of the Jeannette (l’a.) News-Dispatch, who has made a special study of this regiment and one of its famous battles, was organized by the king of England in 1729 with specially picked men from the Highlands of Scotland for the purpose of maintaining order in that turbulent region and in 1739 was made a ► line regiment, the Forty-second Foot. They were disbanded in 1748 but were enrolled again at the outbreak of the French and Indian war The uniform of the “Black Watch,” according to a description of the grenadiers of the regiment in 1751, is described as follows: ‘‘Headdress, a grenadier bearskin, with scarlet visor; white stock; scarlet jacket and waistcoat with white lace trimmings, silver buttons and buff collar and cuffs; black leather sword belt; and car-touch-box and belt; tan leather sporran; Murray of Athol belted plaid; red and white hose and black leather shoes.” This was the same uniform worn by the other companies of the “Black Wai ch” during their period of service in America, except the headdress was a blue bonnet, with checkered border and tuft of feathers and Black Watch tartan belted plaid. The reason for the name “Black Watch” lies in the fact that the kilts were dyed in such a manner as to include the colors of a number of Scottish clans until finally it became almost black, hence the name “Black” Watch. Incidentally they were the only regiment in which the pipers wore the Stuart tartan. Upon its arrival in America, the “Black Watch,” under the command of Maj. Duncan Campbel' of Inverawe, was included in the army of Ujkk) British regulars and 9,000 provincial troops which Lord Pitt, the great British prime minister, was sending under the command of Gen. James Abercromby, “a heavy man, infirm in body and mind,” a veritable “wooden pole wearing a cocked hat.” up the historic water route of the Hudson and Lake Champlain to strike at the heart of New France and capture Montreal. But this magnificent force was doomed to inglorious defeat and before the campaign ended the “Black Watch” was to experience a sickening and useless slaughter which was to all but wipe it out of existence. For despite the fact that the French had available only about 3,000 men to face this imposing array, they were commanded by a military genius, Marquis de Montcalm. Although Montcalm had little hope of being able to hold Fort Ticonderoga, the key to possession of that region, he prepared to put up the best resistance possible with his small force. Arriving near Ticonderoga, Abercromby’s army pushed on to find Montcalm's troops behind breastworks on the crest of a small hill west of the main fort, awaiting their attack. Abercromby foolishly decided to use his superior forces in trying to carry these works by storm instead of flanking the French and laying siege to the fort or bringing up his artillery and reducing its defenses. He even gave orders that not a shot was to be fired but that the works were to be carried at the point of the bayonet. Soon after noon one hot day just 170 years ago (July 6, 1758) the British troops advanced to the attack in three solid columns. The French waited until the redcoats had almost reached the abattis and then opened fire with muskets and cannon. As the heads of the column were swept away in that sheet of flame and the repeated volleys continued to deal death in the massed ranks, the British were forced to fall back into the timber, still under fire and still losing men at every step. When word was sent back to Abercromby of what had happened, his reply was a repetition of his first foolish order. So they tried it again and again were hurled back by the deadly fire. No less than six times that afternoon did these dauntless British and provincials march up that “hill of death” only to be cut down by the hell of gunfire which swept the slope. Finally it was decided to make one last desperate attempt upon the extreme right of the position ' and tlie “Black Watch” was selected for the assault. History records fewer examples of daunt-

less heroism and useless gallantry than the charge of these Scottish Highlanders at Ticonderoga. Under a scattering fire which tore holes in their ranks they steadily advanced across the clearing until they reached the abattis, which they tore aside, cut down or got over in some way. Major Campbell was shot down but his men pressed on until they reached the breastworks and under a deadly hail of bullets sprang upon them. The trench gave way at that point temporarily and another Campbell with some twenty officers and men leaped down into the inclosure. But Montcalm hurled a body of reserve troops at the breach which the Highlanders had made and those inside the breastworks were trapped. Disdaining to ask for quarter, with their backs to the wall, they fought desparately until they were bayoneted where they stood. Those on the outside who were attempting to climb the breastworks were hurled back and they retreated sullenly, carrying their wounded commander with them. As they retreated the French cheered them, for they had seen an act of deathless heroism. Out of a thousand soldiers of the “Black Wateb ' who hurled themselves against the French defenses, only 353 came out unwounded. The total British loss in that slaughter pen was I.GOO regulars and 350 provincials killed and wounded. Montcalm's loss was only 400. Abercrombv ordered a retreat to headquarters on the Hudson. The grand expedition which had set out from Lake George so proudly two days before had failed miserably. <>ne of the most interesting incidents connected with the part played by the “Black Watch" ar Ticonderoga is the “Legend of Inverawe," one of the most famous “ghost stories" in all history. Here is that story as told in Parkman's “.Montcalm and Wolfe”: The ancient castle of Invcrawe stands by the banks of the Awe in the m dst of the wild and picturesque scenery of the western Highlands Lite one evening, before the middle of the last century as the laird, Dt.ncan Campbell, sat alone in the old hall, there was a loud knocking on the gate and opening it, he saw a stranger, with torn clothing and kilt .besmeared with blood, who in a breathless voice begged for an asylum. He went on to say that he had killed a man in a fray, and that the pursuers were at his heels. Campbell promised to shelter him "Swear on your dirk!" said the stranger; and Campbell swore. He then led him to a secret recess in the depths of the castle. Scarcely was he hidden when again there was a loud knocking at the gate and two armed men appeared. "Your cousin, Donald, has been murdered, and we are looking for the murderer!’’ Campbell, remembering his oath, professed to have no knowledge of the fugitive; and the men went on their way. The laird, in great agitation, lay down to rest in a large dark room where at length he fell asleep. Waking suddenly in bewilderment and terror, he saw the ghost of the murdered Donald standing by his bedside, and heard a hollow voice pronounce the words Tnverawe! Inverawe! blood has been shed. Shield not the murderer!" In the morning Campbell went to the hiding place of the guilty man and told him th • m could harbor him no longer. "You have s./orn your dirk!" he repiied, and the laird of Inveraw , greatly perplexed and troubled, made a compromise between conflicting duties, promised not to betray his guest, led him to the neighboring mountain (Ben Cruachan) and hid him in a cave. In the next night, as he lay tossing in feverish slumber, the same stern voice awoke him, the ghost of his cousin Donald stood again at his’bedside, and again be heard the same appalling words: "Inv rawe! Inverawe! blood has been shed. Shield not the murderer!” A( break of day he hastened, in strange agitation, to, the cave; but it was empty, the stranger had gone. At night as he strove in vain to sleep, the vision appeared once more, ghastly pale, but less stern of aspect than before.’ "Farewell, Inverawe!" it said; "Farewell, till we meet at TICONDEROGA!” The strange name dwelt in Campbell’s memory. He had joined the Black Watch, or Forty-second regiment, then employed in keeping order in the turbulent Highlands. In time he became its major; and, in a year or two after the war broke out, he went with it to America. Here, to his horror, he learned that he was ordered to the attack of Ticonderoga. His story was well known among his brother officers. They combined among themselves to disarm his fears; and when they reached . the fatal spot they told him on the eve of the battle: "This is not Ticonderoga; we are not there yet; this is Fort George.” But in the morning he came to them with haggard looks. "I have seen

though the penalty for this offense was three dozen lashes. He ruled his troops with an iron hand, and once ordered nine cousjurators to be blown from the mouths of cannons into the faces of the men of a regiment that had threatened to rebel. It was said, however, that he would go mto his tent and weep fol owing such measures. Nicholson was mortally wounded

Thin in Ticonderoga' I shall die today!” and his prediction was fuinihd When the news of the heroism of the “Black Match" reached England the king, ns a reward for their deed, renamed the regiment the Royal Highlanders. After the end of the disastrous Abercromby expedition the remnants of the shattered “Black Watch" regiment were stationed in Albany until the summer of ITiL’t. when (hey were ordered to J‘ennsi Ivania to take part in the expedition which Col. Hctiry Bouquet w. s to lead to the relief of Fort Bitt, which was then besieged by I‘ontlac's Indians. Bompiet set out from Carlisle. I'a . Ht the end of June. 17G.”., with a force of a little more than 5(10 men. composed of a detachment of his own regiment, tin* Sixtieth Regiment of Royal Americans. a deiachment of the Seventy seventh regiment, Montgomery's Highlanders and the Fortysecond regiment of Royal Highlanders, the "Bhick Match," and n detachment of rangers. By August 5 Bouquet was nearing his goal About noon of that day. after a forced march of 17 miles through the hot J'*«r<--1 s, Bompiet had reached a ]>'ace called Edge hill. 2‘. miles from Fort I'itt. when his advance guard was attacked by the Indians. '1 he two light infantry companies of the “Black Watch" went to their supjort and scattered the Indians. I’ it inm ediatcly the *avages came swarming ba< k and within a short time Bouquet's little army was surrounded ami fighting for their lives behind a hastily constructed defense on top of the hill. When dailight catne the Indians resumed their attack more fiercely than ever. Bompiet saw that it was onlx a matter of time until the tire of the enemy would cut down his form* until the few that were left could not withstand the charge that was sure to come. Deciding to wager everything on one stroke, ht* executed one of the most daring maneuvers in history. The two companies of Highlanders withdrew suddenly from the line, retreated across the hill and entered a little ravine | which ran along one side of the hill. Seeing this ■ movement, the Indians believed that a general retreat was about to begin and came whooping out into the open. This was just what Bouquet wanted. As the mass of savages struck the weakened line that had extended across the hill when the Highlanders left and forced it back, the "Black Watch” came charging out of the ravine on the Haul: of the enemy and as the kilted soldiers bore down ! upon them with their bayonets the Indians knew ' that they had been trapped. But it was too late j then, for Bouquet again broke his line, threw two ! companies of light infantry out of the circle on I the other laid; and the savages were caught between the two forces. Within a few minutes Bouquet was in full possession of the field, but at a terrible cost. A total of 115 officers and men. nearly a fourth of his army, was killed or wounded, The heaviest loss was that of the “Black Watch” which had 25 killed and 27 wounded. But they had helped save Pennsylvania. Bou- j quet flushed on to the relief of Fort Pitt and soon ' afterwards Pontiac’s conspiracy collapsed. Later : the “Black Watch” went on Bouquet's expedition I into the Ohio country which put the finishing blow ! to Indian hosility and a detachment of this same I regiment went down the Ohio to Fort Chartres in the Illinois country to receive the surrender of that post from the French who had not yet given it up in accordance with the terms of the treaty which ended the French and Indian war. The regiment passed the following winter in Pennsylvania and was then ordered home. Reduced to almost a skeleton of its original strength, ; the Black Watch embarked at Philadelphia for j Ireland in July, 17G7. During the seven years of the “Black Watch’s" service in America ami the West Indies it had lost a total of 503 officers and men killed and wounded, but it had written on its banners the names of Ticonderoga and Edge Hill or Bushy Run, and those names stood for two of the most gallant deeds in all American history.

IJ How to Dodge the ? * Sheriff J ¥ * t £ By RING LARDNER $ To Hie Editor: A great many of my creditors and their pals has probably been wondering that how come that we are loose as a couple years ago 1 was almost I shaking hands with the referee in I bankruptcy and where as I am now on my ft. again and got pretty near enough money to pay my last Novem- ' her grosery bill. Well, friends, when I find out a good thing 1 am not the kind of a bird that will keep it to themself but I will pass it along and tell my pals about it so as they can take advantages and pull themselfs out of the hole the same like 1 did. Well about a year ago I was talking with my wife and myself 1 night 1 and she says how is it that I and : you are making about 200 berries per wk, more or LESS and we owe everyj body in Illinois except the govt, and on the other hand here's the Quayles living next doors to us and him only I getting 4<> thousand per annum and yet they seem to enjoy themselfs a whole lot more than we and don't owe nothing. So I said what of it. “Weil,” she says, "I been reading the magazines a whole lot lately am) I seen tin ad in 1 signed by the Rainy Day Corporation and it's supposed to : tell the husband and their wife how to get themselfs on their ft. and the course only costs $3.00 so why not let's subscribe for It and you don't have to pay in advance, but first you get the course and read it and then yon can pretend like you don't care . nothing about it and send it hack to them and they refund you the 3 spot." , So I said all right like 1 usually do | when sho speaks to me nt all and she sent for the course and It come In a form of 5 books, which I didn't have ; time to read and she road them ami ( sent 11 back to them with the words that it was not no good, but at that It was good enough to get us out of our troubles and look at us how. Well, the Idear was this in a few words. In the first place most of our debts was owed in driblets like ten dollars and the book says: “If you owe ten dollars apiece to a whole lot of people in the same town, 1 why the idea Is to quietly move out i of that town ns far ns you can nnd । move to some other town, and the merchants nnd etc. back in the old town wen t sew you because It would cost more than the debts is worth.” So one night we quietly moved out of the old town nnd moved to Great I Neck, nnd we haven’t heard nothing since from people we owe money to. Well the next lesson In the course was to get yourself a Job that paid i more money so 1 day I went down to N. Y. City and went in n man's office j that I bad heard about him. nnd I said I wasn't getting enough money in old Chi, so he said what did I want nnd 1 said 1 wanted a raise and he gave it to me. So as I say here, we are living In I Croat Nick and getting more salary . than out In old Chi and all our debts i repud ted and they can't sew US on ncct. of how much It costs on acct. of the distants and here we are liveing ; in the lapse ot luxury in Long's Island nnd all as we half to do is to keep | out of old Chi or go ’heir incognito, nnd on acct, of the wife seeing the | Rainy Day Corporation ad In this here magazine, which the pure rend- ' Ing matter was so bad that she felt like she had to read the ads. Now gents I don’t want you to take my testimony without no supports, so 1 will tell you about a couple of । frit nds of mine along the same lines that was in ns pretty a pickle like j : we and seen the same ad and got the same results as us or better as follows: beginning with a letter I got from a friend of mine name Chas, j Clarke as follows: “Dear Old Pal. You know how Mil- • dred and I used to struggle along | ' while 1 was earning SIO.OO per week I as clerk in the Bon Ton Market which my uncle owned it and I was the only heir. Well one day Mildred read me the Rainy Day Corporation ad in one of the magazines about how to pull ■ yourself out of the rut so she wrote ! them and they wrote back advising i j me to quit being the clerk and become . the prop, so one day I took a big I I cleaver and used it on my uncle and | by the time I got through there i I wasn't enough left of him to be prop, I of a soda fountain in Cuba so now I and Mildred is running the market and last year we layed away $1.65." The other letter is from a carpenter । fdend of mine that lives at Fifth I I Avenue and 70 st. and in 2 yrs. he j was only able to save .$220,000 so 1 | day him and his wife happened to see ! ’ each other and begin talking and she i seen this ad and wrote to the Rainy ; ! Day Corporation and they wrote back ! and told him to raze he—ll and get more money so he wrote to the union and told them he wouldn't carp no more unless they give him more money so they give him a raze and ' now he is making more than a st. car ; conductor and not haveing as good i a time. I That is the way ft come off hoys i and girls and if you are satisfied to ! go along worring about financial mat- । ters why well and good but if my little talk has showed yon the way | out why 1 am satisfied without no fur- , ther numerations only the knowledge I that I helped drag you out of the .

Odd Gathering Proved Madrid Air All Right The Association of Children of MaI drid recently organized a meeting in vindication of the Madrid climate, which has been calumniated for many centuries—indeed, ever since the invention of the proverb that Madrid air is so still, yet so keen, that it will not blow out a candle but will extinguish a life. Nearly 7<)o octogenarians gathered ' in the theater and the chair was taken ’ by a hearty old dame aged one hunj dred three, who. seated at a table on the stage, now and again drew a i black silk handkerchief over her head, otherwise still plentifully protected by hair just turning gray. Several speeches were made, including one by an actor ninety years old, who seemed pleased to find himself with the boards once more beneath his feet. When he bad finished, a white-haired woman 1 appeared and embraced him warmly, ] having enjoyed his acting half a century previously. Judging by the hearty appearance of those present, the cli- , mate, or whatever it is that prolongs life in Madrid, must be considered to l>e completely vindicated.—London i Times. Hymn Number Proved Lucky for Gamblers The latest big winner at Europe's | premier gambling resort. Monte Carlo, I says Capper's Weekly, was an Englishj man, who strolled into the English ; chapel there Sunday morning and i after the first hymn left for the Ca- : sino. As he entered the place he heard the number “32" shouted from » roulette table, then the same num- [ her shouted from another table. It was the number of the hymn the Englishman had just heard and he decided to “play it.” Starting with the equivalent of $5 he won almost every j other spin of the wheel and kept pyramiding his stack until he had $5,000. This, he thought, was tempting the goddess of chance long enough. The story of the Englishman’s winnings went the rounds. The next Sunday. after ringing the first hymn, al- ! most the entire congregation left the chapel and rushed off to the Casino to back the hymn's number. Structure With Room for Twenty Thousand । Twenty thousand workers, besides j thousands of other [>ersons, visitors and shoppers, will be accommodated in the huge New England building which has been started in Boston.

Besides offices, the building will have a big department store to : occupy ten acres of floor space, a permanent exhibition hall to display New England industries, and in the sub-basement will be automobile parking space. Elevators will convey the machines to the street level. A steelsupported awning will protect pedestrians from rain on all four sides of the building.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Odd Idea in “Marathons” Long-distance accordion playing is a current “marathon" fad in Belgium. Walking drummers had the center of tne stage for a while, and a man from Mauruges walked forty miles beating a drum till the while. But walking accordion players are more popular, for 40.0<M) Belgians get sport, music and exercise manipulating the “poor man’s piano.” Emile Gleaneur is the accordion hero. He played his musical bellows all the way from Thieu to Brussels and back, about fifty miles, with an hour off for lunch and six hours' sleep at Brussels. The country roads were lin d with people cheering ' the player on his march, and friends • walked with him in relays. —— Enough of It William F.
