THE GRASS FENCE
Thrilling Incident of the Battlo of
Bunker Hill
The battle of Bunker Hill gave the
occasion for 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
Derryfield Do you remember who he
was and can you recall the song of his
bravery Read 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 mcn of the little
town of Derryfield N II left their
homes to fight 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 war
So eagerly when the alarm came in
1793 they inarched with him and his
drummer boy son to Cambridge where
he was entered a captain In Starks
regiment
And now comes 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
waited 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
brave march of the Britishers was
checked A slight recoil and the offi
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 Hampshire 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
licked awful she sobbed
Poor dear he remarked in a tender
voice at the same time putting his
hand into his vest pocket Dont cry

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 you 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
eoe if I had not called the boys atten
tion to the fact that wo were playing
authors all the morning papers would
certainly have announced under big
headlines that D L Moody had been

A SINGULAR DUEL
How the Death Ponalty Was Adminis
tered to Two Indians
The following story Illustrates very
well one of the characteristics of the
Indian as It shows that Indians as a
rule did not mind dying so much as
they were particular about the method
It was a good many years ago at Pine
Ridge when there was trouble with
the Cheyennes Major Cooper was
there as agent and there were two
young Cheyennes who were badly
wanted for murder They had way
laid and killed a prospector They
were not caught and the chances were
that they would not be unless the sol
diers were called in If this were done
it was likely to precipitate trouble
with the whole tribe and Major Coop
er laid the case before the headmen
They were told that if the soldiers
were sent for there would surely be
trouble and were requested politely to
ask the two erring bucks to come in
and be hanged
Word was sent to the two young
Indians Head Chief and Young Mule
who wqre out in the hills They sent
word back that they had no objection
to dying If it would keep the rest of
the tribe out of trouble but that if
they had to die they preferred to die
fighting and they wanted it distinctly
understood that they would not be
hanged It was entirely against the
customs of the government but rules
did not go for much in those days
Results were the chief things and
Major Cooper sent word to them that
if they wanted a fight he would risk
accommodating them A date was set
and early in the morning they rode to
ward the agency fully armed Major
Cooper was out to meet them and the
rest of the tribe the potential hostiles
were gathered on the hills to see fair
play The agent rodo out into the
open and slipped off his horse using it
for cover and shooting across the sad
dle
The two young Indians galloped up
to within shooting distance and com
menced circling hanging on the off
side of their ponies and shooting un
der their necks and across their heads
The tacit understanding was that if
they were killed it was all right but
if they got the agent they would pull
out into the hills and wait for some
other challenger The fight did not
last long Cooper had a heavy buf
falo gun and killed one Indian shoot
ing him through the body of his horse
The other kept on circling and several
shots were exchanged till the Indian
was shot through the body He knew
It would be all up with him in a few
minutes and charged shooting as ho
came But the agents luck held good
and he was dropped within fifty yards
The law was satisfied and the agent
was able to report officially to Wash
ington that the Indians had been ex
ecuted Washington Star
What Is a Midshipman
By luck I for the first time in my
life have found a plausible derivation
for midshipman It would appear that
in the days immediately after the flood
the vessels were very high at the ends
between which there was a deep
waist giving no ready means of
passing from one to the other To
meet this difficulty there were employ
ed a class of men usually young and
alert who from their station were
called midship men to carry messages
which were not subject for the trum
pet shout If this explanation holds
water it like forecastle and after
guard and knightheads gives another
instance of survival of nomenclature
from conditions which have long since
ceased
Whatever the origin of his title It
well expressed the anomalous and un
defined position of the midshipman
He belonged so to say to both ends of
the ship as well as to the middle and
his duties and privileges alike fell
within the broad saying that what was
nobodys business was a midshipmans
When appointed as such in later days
he came in with the hayseed in his
hair and went out lit for a lieuten
ants charge but from first to last
whatever his personal progress he
continued as a midshipman a handy

The Worlds Gypsies
The gypsies have passed under a va
riety of names arising either from
their supposed original country or the
callings and characteristics of the race
The old English Egyptian the Span
ish Gitana and the Magyar Pharas
nepek Pharaohs people all point to
an Egyptian origin The Scandinavian
Tatare identifies them with the Mon
golian hordes which terrorized early
Europe while the French Bohemian
suggests yet another country as their
cradle
As to the names bestowed by their
supposed character the Arab boldly
calls them haraini a villain the
Dutchman heydens or heathons and
the Persian takes his name from their
complexion and dubs them karachi or
swarthy A charter of William the
Lion as early as the twelfth century
mentions their Scotch name of tin
klers which is commonly supposed to
be a corruption of tinker although pos
sibly the substitution of t for z
has produced this form of the Italian
Zlngaro one of the most widespread
of gypsy appellations London Chron
