THE GRASS FENCE
Thrilling Irwident of tho Battle 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
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 match Perhaps you will be
able to find it Ilarpers
Misled by Stationery
I wrote a note to my washerwoman
about a Aveek or two ago asking her
please to bring my clothes home said
the woman I needed them I hap
pened to be in a religious concern at
the time and used its paper to write
