It was in her that Nelson fought his brilliant single-ship action with a Spanish frigate in 1796, and it was in her thet he cemented hia friendship with Hardy by refusing, though in danger of capture, (# lgave the spot where Hardy had spruag overboard to save a seaman. Nelson had two flagships in the Bal- tic—the St. George and the Elephant. The former went ashere off Jutland in a fearful gale on Christmas Eve, 1811, only 12 hands being saved. The latter was broken up in 1817, together with the Vanguard, Nelson's flagship at the Nile. The Agsmemnon foundered in Maldonado bay is 1809. Four years later, the Captain, 88 which Nelson fought at St. Vincent, wes destroyed by fire when moored at Devesport. The last to go was Nelson's flagship in the Mediterranean, the Foudroyant, which went down near Blackpool in 1897101 years after her baptism of fire.

For them there is no United States west of Buffalo; no one of any respectability lives above Four teenth street; and to have been born poor and dishonest enough to have made a fortune is much less repreben gible than paying money for marrying a title. With them the chief virtue in lite is to have been born rich and hon- est; |. eo. in the “set” These form the most exclusive cir cle in social New York. They see nc one but each other. They have no country relatives, because the family hae never been permitted MArry outside the little group hey refuse to recognize the pervenus who have come in and are making things hum In their eyes all American authors are dead and sll living authors Europe ang; henpe they permit themselves wo intellecutal diversion. Their mental life is one of desnd memories and liv ing weproaches. Their social life is one of mediocrity and echoes Yet this group is the most desired and most sought after of any In Amer fea. Many & pew millionalress would write a substantial check with alac rity to be invited to eme of these shabby old dewntown homes Buch invitations are sought for, prized and commented on more than any other. It is comparatively easier to be pre sented st almost any European court, except the Russian and the Turkish, than to be properly presented to an old Knickerbocker family, OVERWORK BRINGS OLD AGE No Human Being Was Meant to Labor on and On Without the Proper Rest, Industry's a fine thing, but 8 virtue may easily run to seed and become & fault. And don’t work too fast. Don't rush Take things quietly and steadily. Don't excite yourself over every little trifie. Don’t be restioss and impatient. 10 I i 3 i He Pg ¥ AUDITORS’ STATEMENT Of the Receipts and Expend tu es of POTTER TOWNSHIP For the Year Linding December 1, 1916 JOHN FORTNEY COLLECTOR OF ROAD TAX DR.
