THE GRASS FENCE
Thrilling Incident of tries Battlo cf
Bunker Hill
The battle of Hunker Illll gave the
oceasonfor many deeds of valor and
since that day we hold a list of names
illuminated In our memory One of
these names belongs to the Knight of
Dcrryfield Do you remember who he
was and can you recall the song of his
bravery Head of It once more and
have Impressed again on your heart
the Implicit obedience and perfect
courage of the New Hampshire farm
ers and their captain John Moor
When the forty five men of the little
town of Derrylleld N II left their
homes to light for the great cause each
knew that no men were ever led by a
braver man than their beloved Captain
Moor Ills courage had Inspired many
of them in the French and Indian wax
So eagerly when the alarm came in
179 they marched with him and his
drummer boy son to Cambridge where
he was entered a captain in Starks
regiment
And now conies the battle of Bunker
mil Behind a fence piled thick with
grass Captain Moors company lay as
still as death An order had come from
Colonel Stark that not a shot was to be
fired until the British passed a stake
that was driven a short distance away
With perfect confidence in themselves
and their captain the farmers waited
Availed motionless while that beauti
ful death dealing pageant of British
warriors swept grandly toward them
With the coolness and wonderful pre
cision of a dress parade the old world
came to meet the new the grenadiers
and light infantry marching In single
file twelve feet apart the artillery ad
vancing more slowly and thundering
out an insolent defiance to the con
ceited little rebels while on each side
five battalions formed an oblique line
to the fence breastworks The very
flower of the English army full blos
somed In learned maneuvers resplen
dent in shining arms and waving ban
ners advanced to meet a little group of
men untrained in tactics of warfare
only half armed clad in homespun
hiding behind a breastwork of grass
The dead line was crossed Bang
Bang Bang The little rebels were
awake at last Now not the stake
but a line of fallen bodies marked the
dead line Thunder and lightning
belched forth from that breastwork
A fire intense steady killing and the
bravo march of the Britishers was
checked A slight recoil and the olli
cers dashing up again urged the line
forward Not for one moment did the
grass fence cease its voice of fire and
shot One by one the brave grenadiers
and their dashing gallant officers fell
to the earth The ranks broke and the
proud host fled before the meager
handful of New nampshire men Ah
if we could only have had grass breast
works and Captain John Moor all
along the American line C F Harri

A Philanthropist
An earnest east side worker says
that not long ago she was approached
by an old gentleman who has the rep
utation of being something of a philan
thropist with the request that he be
permitted to accompany her on one of
her rounds of visits Much pleased
the worker consented The destitute
condition in which many families were
found elicited expressions of deep sym
pathy from the old gentleman but to
his companions surprise and regret
nothing more material Presently they
came upon a small girl weeping bit
terly
What is it my dear the old gen
tleman inquired
The child raised a tear stained face
and pointed into a dark alleyway Me
mudder sent me to buy some bread
an I lost my dime in there an Ill git

voice at the same time putting his

Moody on the Cards
One evening in San Francisco Evan
gelist Moody sat in his room at the ho
tel playing a game of cards with Mrs
Moody and two friends when a mes
senger came in with a dispatch As
the boy stood waiting for a reply Mr
Moody suddenly asked Wont ycxi sit
down my lad and have a game of
authors with us
The boy declined and soon left the
room Hardly had the door closed
when Mrs Moody said Why Dwight
what made you think of inviting that
boy to sit down and play with us
My dear replied Moody dont you
see If I had not called the boys atten
tion to the fact that we were playing
authors all the morning papers would
certainly have announced under big
headlines thatAD L Moody had been

Wonders of Wire
less Telegraphy
T
HE announcement by William
Marconi of his intention to es
tabllsh a regular wireless tele
graph service across the Atlan
tic directs attention 1o the marvelous
progress made within a few years in
putting Into practical use his discov
eries and Inventions
The record breaking trip of the new
Cunard liner Lusitania which excited
so much Interest and was the subject
of so many articles In the press served
to call into notice the value of the
wireless system of telegraphy It was
due to such a service that those on
both sides of the Atlantic who were
following the course of the vessel were
able to learn each day of the progress
the steamship was making of the
number of knots steamed per hour or
day and all other important incidents
of the trip
The voyage of the Atlantic fleet into
Pacific waters is another thing which
calls into special prominence the fact
of the great value of the wireless tele
graph and of that newest thing in
science the wireless telephone Not
only are all the battleships which are
to participate in the much talked of
cruise to have full wireless telegraph
equipment but by order of Assistant
Secretary Newberry they are all to be
equipped with Avlreless telephone in
struments The sixteen battleship0
participating hi the cruise and also the
six torpedo boat destroyers are to be
fitted with two sets of wireless tele
phones The Virginia and Connecticut
are to be thus equipped first to test
the merits of the device The instru
ments to be used are guaranteed for
a range of fivo miles under all condi
tions of atmosphere It is said they
give satisfaction at a much greater
range under favorable conditions It
can readily be seen how valuable such
a system of communication might be
come in the case of vessels composing
a naval fleet on a cruise in strange wa
ters
Wliile the Luiitania was on her
maiden trip across the Atlantic the
correspondents aboard seemed for
most of the time at least to be in as
close touch with the public as if the
floating palace of their temporary resi
dence had been a hotel cr a newspaper
office in a big city The wireless oper
ators on the liners now understand

WIRELESS OPERATOR OX ATLANTIC LIXKR
RECEIVING MESSAGES GETTING OUT AN
EXTRA SPECIAL IN MID ATLANTIC
pretty well how to get into telegraphic
touch both with land and with other
vessels at sea Not only from the great
Marconi stations at Cornwall and
Nova Scotia and Massachusetts but
also from other vessels on the trans
atlantic passage the liners are kept in
formed of the latest events The Mar
coni telegraph communication chart
shows the operator the moment when
he may expect to get into communica
tion with any other vessel on the route
The latest news is printed on board in
a little paper and is discussed in the
smoking rooms in mid Atlantic almost
as soon as it is commented on in the
clubs of London and New York
Up to the present time the wireless
system has proved of greatest prac
tical value in communicating with ves
sels at sea But now Mr Marconi
says that the time has come for the es
tablishment of a regular commercial
wireless service across the ocean For
four yeaxs the inventor has been able
to send communications to and fxo
across the big pond and by means of
the experiments made and the im
provement in instruments effected all
obstacles have been overcome so that
now the establishment of regular trans
atlantic wix eless service on a commer
cial basis is feasible The average
speed in sending messages will be
twenty words a minute and the xate
will be 10 cents a word for ordinary
commercial messages and 7 cents a
word for press dispatches These rates
may be cut in two later The mes
sages will be sent from the new sta
tion at Glace Bay Nova Scotia and re
ceived at Clifden Ireland where a
new plant Las been established fitted
with the latest apparatus much mox e
powerful than that of the older sta
tion at Poldhu Cornwall

A Wasps Mistake
It Is generally supposed thnt Instinct
unerriugly teaches birds and insects
the lost way In which to build their
homes or nests and also to provide for
their offspring The following Inci
dent -will show that Instinct Is not al
ways infallible
A naturalist placed three small emp
ty vials in an open box on a shelf In
an upright position In close contact
and they were uncorked A short time
afterward It was a matter of surprise
to find that these had been appropri
ated by a female mud wasp She had
placed a goodly number of spiders In
the center vial doubtless intended to
serve as food for her future brood
then proceeded to deposit her cpgs In
those on either side She next closed
tightly the mouths of all the rcepta
cles with a hard lime cement Having
finished her work she then doubtless
went on her way satisfied all had been
done for her offspring that a thought
ful mother could do But just think
of the sensations of those little wasps
when they come into existence for
while starving In their sealed cages
they can plainly see through the Im
penetrable glass Avails the bountiful
supply of food Avhich Avas provided for
their use
She Thought Ho Was Dead
Maginnis had been ill for some time
and like a great many invalids he
Avas somewhat Irritable and Avhen
things failed to meet his appioval the
next unfortunate avIio came within
range Avas pretty apt to be reminded
of it in a AAay far more forcible than
polite lie lingered In this condition
for several weeks daily growing Aveak
er but still holding his oa ii sufficient
ly to make things lively and more or
less interesting for those about him
Finally one day Avhen the family doc
tor called he met the long suffering
Mrs Maginnis coming out of the sick
room and rubbing his hands he cheer
ily x eraarked Ah good moxning Mrs
Maginnis Hoav is our patient today
Its dead the poor mou is Oim
afther thinkin hivin rist his sowl
AAas the resigned reply
You think he is dead Dout you
knoAV whether he is or not demand
ed the doctor
Not fer shure responded Mrs Ma
ginnis briskly but thin he bethrays
Ivery symptom of it I Avint into his
room jist noAv an he didnt troAv any
thing at me London Tit Bits
Snuff as Medicine
Oh yes said the tobacconist as he
tapped a jar filled Avith a cinnamon col
ored poAvdex I sell an ounce or tA o of
snuff occasionally to the old as a
rule The young will seldom look at
snuff And those who do use it im
pute medicinal Airtues to it Thus old
fashioned watchmakers gem cutters
and tailors think that a pinch of snuff
now and then improves the eyesight
They think it x efxoshes and fortifies
weax y eyes as a cup of tea refreshes
and fortifies a Aveax y brain Others
think snuff cures a cold Others take
it for the headache Others still be
lieAe that it Avards off contagion
I belieA e that snuff taking is
less harmful than smoking Its effect
too is pleasanter than the effect of
smoking it is a most soothing and
fascinating effect once you get used to
it but the habit is untidy and there
fore it can get no hold upon us in this
aesthetic age Los Angeles Times
