in our memory One of these names belongs to the Knight of Derryfleld 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 men of the little town of Derryfleld 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 His courage had inspired many of them In the French and Indian war So eagerly -when the alarm came in 1795 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 Hill 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 fanners 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 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 tho 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 son in Atlanta Constitution A Philanthropist An earnest east side worker says that uot long ago she was approached hy an old gentleman who has the rep utation of heing something of a philan thropist with the request that he ho 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 hut tc his companions surprise and regret nothing more material Present 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 tread an I lost my dime in there an Til 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 LTere L j
