SPRING CLEANING.
Yes, clean yer house an’ clean yer shed
An’ clean yer barn in every part;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head
An’ sweep the snow-banks from yer
heart.
Jes’ we'n spring cleanin’ comes aroun’
Bring forth the duster an’ the broom,
But rake yer fogy notions down
An’ sweep yer dusty soul of gloom.
Sweep ol’ ideas out with dust
An’ dress yer soul in newer style,
Scrape from yer min’ its wornout crust
An’ dump it in the rubbish pile,
Sweep out the hates that burn an’ smart.
Bring in new loves serene an pure.
Around the hearthstone of the heart
Place modern styles of furniture.
Clean out your morril cubby holes,
Sweep out the dirt, scrape off the scum;
'Tis cleanin’ time for healthy souls—
Git up and dust! The spring has came!
Clean out the corners of the brain,
Bear down with serubbin’ brush an’ soap.
An’ dump ol’ Fear into the rain.
An’ dust a cosy chair for Hope.
Clean out the brain's deep rubbish hole,
Soak ev'ry cranny great an’ small,
An’ in the front roof of the soul!
Hang pootier pictures on the wall,
Serub up the winders of the mind,
Clean up, an’ let the spring begin;
Swing open wide the dusty blind
An’ let the April sunshine in.
Plant flowers on the soul's front yard.
Set out new shade and blossom trees,
An’ let the soul once froze an’ hard,
Sprout crocusses of new idees.
Yes, clean yer house an clean yer shed,
An clean yer barn in ev'ry part;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head
An’ sweep the snow-banks from
heart!

SOME FORGOTTEN
PENNSYLVANIA HEROINES.
The following address, delivered before
the Bellefonte Chapter, D. A. R., at the
meeting on May 6th, by Col. Henry W.
Shoemaker is so freighted with informa-
tion that all Pennsylvanians should be
in possession of that we have asked per-
mission to publish it in the “Watch-
man.”—Ed.
Mrs. Richard, Mrs. Keller and Ladies
of Bellefonte Chapter, D. A. R.
Some months ago, in the daily
newspapers, a dispatch dated Wash-
ington, D. C., propounded this ques-
tion: “Who were the greatest women
in the past history of Pennsylvania?”
Without waiting for the readers of the
article to offer suggestions, the fol-
lowing names were mentioned: Bet-
sey Ross, Rebecca Biddle, Lydia Dar-
rah, and Lucretia Mott. It would
seem a pity if this quartet should be
regarded as the final estimate of
greatness in Pennsylvania woman-
hood, despite the years of persistent
propaganda at work in favor of some
of them. In the first place the genu-
ineness of Betsey Ross’s connection
other than professional with the first
American Flag has been frequently
questioned, and were it not for her so-
cial connections her claims would
probably be entirely outlawed; the
same is the case with Rebecca Biddle
and Lydia Darrah. In this present
age we are too prone to estimate a
person’s greatness on the basis of
wealth and social position. If a
wealthy woman deliveres a speech,
writes a few paragraphs, makes a do-
nation to charity, she is accorded an
exalted place in a sycophantic world.
A woman’s social position cannot be
judged by her occupation; a servant
girl may come of an aristocratic fam-
ily, and a millionaire’s wife, a com-
mon vulgarian. It is women like Lu-
cretia Mott, who have triumphed over
life’s obstacles, or broken the bonds of
caste, and done something uplifting
and permanently worth while who will
ultimately be classed as the greatest
of Pennsylvania women. Lucretia
Mott, preacher, teacher and reformer,
is too widely known to need further
mention here, but there are many oth-
er Pennsylvania women, some scarce-
ly mentioned in history’s pages, who
should be re-discovered. It may some
day be a part of the unselfish labors
of the D. A. R. to establish them in
their proper places among Pennsylva-
nia heroines. In point of fame which
transcends the borders of the State,
like in the case of Lucretia Mott, we
must not fail to mention Mary Jemi-
son, known as the “White Woman of
the Genessee.” In heautiful Letch-
worth Park, near Rochester, New
York, a handsome bronze statue, on a
granite pedestal, testifies the high re-
gard in which this remarkable Penn-
sylvania woman is held by the people
of the Empire State. As a child, in
1755, Mary Jemison was captured by
Indians at her parents’ home on Marsh
Creek, Franklin county, and taken to
Ohio. Later, after the fall of Fort
Duquesne, she was given the chance
to return to her family, but refused,
preferring the society of the Indians.
She first married a warrior named
Sheningey, and after his death became
the wife of Hiakatoo, commonly
known as Gardeau, a fighting Indian
whose name is not remembered in a
kindly manner by residents of the
West Branch Valley. His part in the
tomahawking of the wounded at Fort
Freeland, near Milton in 1779, gave
him an unenviable reputation, but as
to the merits of the case the loyal
“White Woman of the Genessee” is
silent. As the wife of Hiakatoo, Mary
Jemison became the mother of a large
family, who inherited a sort of King-
ship or overlordship of the Senecas in
Western New York State. The last
“King” Jemison died several years
ago near Red House, on the Alleghe-
ny river; in his lifetime he sold pat-
ent medicines in Pittsburgh, and ex-
hibited a unique collection of Indian
relies, including the silver war crowns
of chiefs Cornplanter, Blacksnake,
and Red Jacket. Mary Jemison is
principally remembered by her book
of memoirs which she dictated to
James E. Seaver, an historian, shortly.
before her death, and which gives a
vivid picture of Indian warfare and
life. Her influence on the Indians
was beneficent, and her aim was al-
ways to bring the two races together
in friendly intercourse, her feeling be-
ing that, that of the two the Indians
were the least savage and warlike.
Eastern Pennsylvania can claim
another equally picturesque Indian
captive in Regina Hartman, yet her
unmarked last resting place in Tulpe-
hocken Churchyard, near Stouchs-
burg, Berks county, is known only to
a few, among them Dr. Walker L.
Stephen, of Reading, the best-posted
Indian folk-lorist in Pennsylvania. If
Regina Hartman had lived in New
England or Europe she would rank as
one of the great historical personages
of all time, yet Pennsylvania claims
only a mild acquaintance with her.
For the benefit of those present who
have not heard of her strange story,
we will summarize it briefly. During
an Indian attack along the Blue
Mountains, in the vicinity of the pres-
ent town of Orwigsburg, Regina, then
nine years of age, was carried into
captivity by the Indians, and for sev-
en years was taken from place to
place by her captors.
the final peace of the French and In-
dian war, in 1763, when Mary Jemi-
son elected to remain with the In-
dians, a great army of white prison-
ers were turned over to the British
Colonial forces, and sent east to Car-
lisle Barracks, to be restored to their
relatives.
journeyed to Carlisle, but out of the
long line of sunburned children who
were marched past her could not rec-
ognize her long lost daughter. The
unhappy woman, in bitter disappoint-
ment after her long trip, broke down
and wept. Her grief attracted the at- |
tention of Colonel Henry Bouquet, the
brave deliverer of Fort Duquesne, a
Huguenot from Switzerland, who was
in charge of the released captives, and
addressing her in Pennsylvania Ger-
man, he asked if there was any song
that she used to sing to her missing
daughter in the old childhood days.
The poor woman recollected one par-
ticular hymn, and going along the
lines of refugees started to sing:
“Allein, und doch nicht ganz allein
Bin ich”
It was there that a tall girl sprang
from the crowd, and fell into her
mother’s arms. The reunion was coni-
plete and Regina spent the remainder
of her life ministering to her moth-
er’s comfort at their humble home in
Northern Berks county. After her
mother’s death she lived alone, becom-
ing known locally as a saint, through
manifold deeds of goodness and char-
ity. Now she rests in an unmarked
grave, and later historians have at-
tempted to class her as a myth, along-
side of “Molly Pitcher,” who luckily
has been rescued from such obloquy
by the prompt action of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature and Governor Brum-
baugh.
In 1916, when the handsome bronze
monument to Mary Ludwig, known as
Molly Pitcher, a real daughter of the
American Revolution, was unveiled in
the old cemetery at Carlisle, her iden-
tity was made sure by the engraving
of all her names, and her sobriquet,
onthe front of the granite pedestal,
so that she may rank for all time as
one of the greatest of Pennsylvania
heroines. Mary Ludwig, known as
“Molly with the Pitcher” and “Molly
Pitcher,” was born in the Palatinate,
but brought as a small child by her
At last, after!
Regina Hartman’s mother |
parents to Berks county; later they
moved to the Cumberland Valley,
where Mary became a servant in the
home of Colonel William Irvine. At
the time of the Revolution she was
the wife of Sergeant Casper Hays; at
the battle of Monmouth, when her
husband, a cannoneer, was wounded
she successfully took charge of the
cannon; and later when relieved car-
ried water to the soldiers under fire.
It is said that General Washington
was an observer of her bravery, and
made her a sergeant by brevet. In
the battle, one of her former admirers,
a man of wealth and position, was
given up for dead, and tossed into a
trench for burial the next morning.
Despite the fatigues of the day, Molly
crept out at dead of night, and carried
him back to the lines, and helped to
nurse him back to health. After the
war she returned te Carlisle, where
Sergeant Hays died; later she married
Sergeant Jerry McCanley, a semi-in-
valid from shell shock. In her later
years she scrubbed the marble floors
of the court house at Carlisle, unable
| to support her helpless husband and
children on a pension of $40.00 per
year. For further information con-
cerning this remarkable woman see
the article by Rev. C. P. Wing, in
“Pennsylvania Magazine,” 1879, Vol-
ume III, and Judge E. W. Biddle’s
scholarly address delivered at the time
of the dedication of the monument.
Among the lesser known Pennsyl-
vania heroines, Somerset county is
justly proud of Peggy Marteeny, the
daughter of Henry Marteeny, an old
soldier of the Revolution, of Huguenot
. antecedents. During an attack by In-
' dians along the old Forbes Road, Peg-
gy was riding her spotted Spanish po-
i ny through the woods when she came
upon a white man, badly wounded, and
badly frightened, running for dear
life, closely pursued by red men, who
were brandishing scalping knives.
Without a moment’s hesitation Peggy
sprang from her horse and put the
white man on it, then giving it a few
smacks across the flanks, sent the an-
imal galloping away, trusting to her
own long legs to escape the savage
pursuers. Somerset county was also
the heme of Rebecca Statler and Rho-
da Boyd, heroines of Indian adven-
tures.
Near Molly Pitcher’s handsome
monument in the ancient cemetery at
Carlisle, are the graves of Hugh H.
Brackenridge, the distinguished Pitts-
burgh jurist, and author of that amus-
ing work, “Modern Chivalry,” a story
much on the style of Don Quixote—
and his wife, formerly the Pennsyl-
vania German girl, Sahina Wolfe. On
one of Judge Brackenridge’s horse-
back journeys through the mountains
he noticed the graceful Sabina nimbly
vaulting over a stak: and rider fence,
and fell in love wit! her on the spot;
athletic prowess still seems to be a
compelling motive in the awakening
of love, for we have recently read in
the papers of a wealthy western youth
who eloped with a show girl, whom
he said he fell in love with after she
had won a race on a Pogo stick at the
Midnight Follies. The Brackenridge-
Wolfe marriage turned out very well,
so much so that the unknown Sgbina
soon became the social arbiter of the
Smoky city.
Pennsylvania Mountain girls are
noted not only for their beauty, but
for their courage. Kentucky accords
a high place in history to the small
dark girl, Mabel Hite, whose forbears
went from Berks county to the “Dark
and Bloody Ground” for her heroism
in carrying water under a heavy fire
from hostile Indians to the brave de-
fendrs of the Fort at Bryant’s Sta-
tion, who were an earlier “Lost Bat-
talion” and might have perished of
thirst but for the intrepid bravery of
this young Pennsylvania girl. Bar-
bara Frietchie, who some historians
say was a myth, but will ever be im-
mortalized in Whittier’s stirring poem,
was born in Pennsylvania, but was
taken to Frederick, Maryland, by her
parents at an early age. Your speak-
er once asked General Henry Kyd
Douglas, of Hagerstown, who was an
Aide to General “Stonewall” Jackson
during his famous ride through Fred-
erick Town, if Barbara Frietchie, ve-
ally lived. The old General replied
that he knew Barbara well, that she
was no myth, the only mythical part
was that the flag which she hung out
was the stars and bars, and not the
stars and stripes. Perhaps in the ex-
cess of his Southern sympathies, this
gallant old Confederate may have
been temporarily blind. Another cel-
ebrated frontier girl was Frances Slo-
cum, the Indian captive of the Wyo-
ming Valley, whose memory is splen-
didly perpetuated by the able histor-
ians of the North Branch Valley; then
there is Elizabeth Zane, the early love
of Daniel Boone, a Pennsylvania fron-
tier girl whose life was full of stirring
adventures, and whose relatives were
the founders of Zanesville, Ohio.
There is Jennie Wade, the unhappy
heroine of the Battle of Gettysburg,
shot while baking bread, the same day
that her lover was killed in battle,
and Jane Annesley, the beautiful red
headed girl of the West Branch Val-
ley, whose auburn tresses were covet-
ed by the warlike Indian Skanando,
and who followed her until he scalped
her. She survived the scalping many
years, being still remembered by old-
er residents about Lock Haven as an
aged woman hoeing corn, wearing a
black skull cap. The mother of the
immortal Abraham Lincoln, plain
Nancy Hanks, was of Pennsylvania
origin, like her husband, Thomas Lin-
coln.
By a strange coincidence the early
homes of the Lincoln, Hanks, and
Boone families were close together in
Eastern Berks county. Montgomery,
Chester, and Berks county have vied
with one another as the early home of
the Hanks family, but Rev. J. W. Ear-
ly, a venerable clergyman of Reading,
writing on the 100dth anniversary of
“Father Abraham’s” birth, in 1909,
in the Reading Times, stated that the
family originated in Berks county,
and the early spelling of the name
was Hanck, whereas in Chester coun-
ty there is a family called Hanke, pos-
sibly of a different stock. Nancy
Hanks, the typical pioneer moth-
er, occupies an outstanding place
in the Nation’s history, and we can
feel closer to her, and her ideals, by
reckoning her as one of our Pennsyl-
vania women. Dr. Stephen, before
mentioned, tells us that Jane Borth-
wick, to whom Robert Burns, in his
youth, dedicated several lovely poems,
and who later emigrated to Pennsyl-
vania, is buried in Womelsdorf, Berks
county.
We cannot close this rambling dis-
course without mentioning a little
known Centre county heroine, Mary
Wolford, for whom Young Woman's
Town, now ruthlessly re-named North
Bend, and Young Woman’s Creek, now
ruthlessly polluted by tanneries, are
named. While encamped with her
parents, formerly from Buffalo Val-
ley, near the great hollow buttonwood
tree, below Milesburg, where the
spartan Indian chief Woapalannee, or
Bald Eagle, is said to have slept
standing up, this fierce warrior fell in
love with the tall, slim and beautiful
pioneer girl. She was indifferent to
his advances, being engaged to James
Quigley Brady, the “Young Captain of
the Susquehanna,” a younger brother
of the famous Captain “Sam” Brady.
Bald Eagle managed to have the
“Youg Captain” scalped, which caused
his death, and later captured Mary
Wolford, and started North with her,
towards the old Boone Road, leading
to New York State. Somewhere, be-
yond the creek, which now bears her
name, the lovely Mary broke loose
from her captors, although a wooden
gag was in her mouth, and her hands
were tied behind her back. Boldly she
plunged into the stream, which was
swollen by a flood; gagged and her
arms helpless, she was carried off by
the swift current and drowned. Days
afterwards her body was washed
ashore at Northumberland, near
where young Brady was buried, and
the lovers sleep their long sleep side
by side.
There are many more forgotten
Pennsylvania heroines, but the list
just given will suffice for the present.
If we can honor these, as are their
due, we will have enhanced the cause
of Pennsylvania history and helped to
place it alongside that of New York,
New England, the South, and other
sections where deeds of worth and
valor are recognized. All of these
forgotten women were brave, coura-
geous, simple and God fearing, well
worthy to serve as a high ideal for
our young girlhood. They also show
that the noblest traits are found in
the humblest homes, that womanhood
can be brave and intrepid just as much
as man, that there are self-made
women as well as self-made men.
Some day let us hope that in the ro-
tunda of the capitol at Harrisburg,
purged of its group of professional
politician statues, or some Hall of
Fame specially constructed for the
purpose, we can gaze upon lifelike ef-
fects in marble of Lucretia Mott, Ma-
ry Jemison, Regina Hartman, Molly
Pitcher, Peggy Marteeny, Mabel Hite,
Frances Slocum, Mary Wolford and
above all, Nancy Hanks, typical of the
most exalted heights to which wom-
anhood can attain, unaided, many of
them untaught, but pure in patriot-
ism, pure in heart, the bright galaxy
of the glory of Pennsylvania woman-
hood. We cannot honor them too
highly, we cannot praise them extrav-
agantly enough, for they are mile-
stones in the normal development of
our feminism. This great work is
going on. That women of equal worth
are being born under similar condi-
tions and are alive today, let us but
remember that Jane Addams, the
daughter of a Berks county innkeep-
er, has done more for her sex, and
for humanity in general than almost
any other woman living, and carries
out fully the lofty standard that
Pennsylvania sets for its womanhood.

Re
Jellied Fish.
The newest method of preserving
fish is to cut it into pieces of suitable
size, pack it in a can, and fill the lat-
ter with hot fluid sea-moss gelatin.
The gelatin cools and solidifies at 2
little above 100 degrees. The filled
can is sealed and cooked. When it is
opened, the consumer finds the con-
tents an attractive preparation of
cooked fish jelly.
AMERICA LEADING
FRANCE IN AVIATION.
The United States is leading France
and most other European countries in
the practice of commercial aviation, it
is shown in reports to the commerce
department, despite a popular belief
to the contrary throughout America.
More than 1,713,000 miles were
flown in the United States in 1921 by
air mail planes, which rank as com-
mercial planes. Mail carried totaled
1,166,000 pounds. The record for
Frances, just received by the com-
merce department, is as follows: Miles
flown, slightly more than 1,300,000;
mail carried, 21,000 pounds.
In mileage the American planes
lead France by nearly 25 per cent. In
the mail record American planes car-
ried fifty times as much weight.
It is customary for aviation enthu-
siasts to berate the development of
commercial aviation in the United
States in comparison with the use of
planes for business and pleasure pur-
poses in France, England, Germany
and other places in Europe.
Airplanes are running regularly be-
tween Paris, London and other conti-
nental points, it is emphasized making
trips daily on schedule like railroad
trains. Much is made of the fact that
large numbers of passengers are
transported as well as baggage. Fly-
ing from London to Paris for lunch
and an afternoon in the shops is said
to be an everyday occurrence in Eu-
rope. Wide publicity is given to the
numerous air trips taken by Premier
Lloyd George and other government
officials.
_ American flying men, talling atten-
tion to these reports, lament that the
flying machine, although invented and
developed in this country, is not being
developed for practical purposes.
_ That development of practical fly-
ing is taking place in the United
States at a greater rate than else-
where. The carrying of mail is dis-
tinctly a commercial practice and one
for which the airplane is more prop-
erly fitted at present than for the car-
rying of passengers. In the matter of
expense this is particularly true.
Airplanes carry mail now every day
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
at less cost than mail can be trans-
ported on the railroads, but in Europe
the commercial airplane companies
have been unable to compete with the
railroads to any extent in the matter
of passenger fares unless there is tak-
en into consideration the greater
speed of an air journey.
The figures quoted for the mileage
of French airplanes include those
flown in the carrying of passengers
and baggage as well as mail. The
number of passengers transported
throughout 1921 was only slightly in
excess of 10,000. Transportation of
passengers is the main business of the
French commercial planes. This
phase of commercial flying has been
more fully developed in France than
in any other country.—Ex.
