THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA. Man WifKout A Country S 0 Edward Everett Hale FOURTH INSTALLMENT. There la a story that Nolan met Burr once on one of our vessels, when a party of Americana came on board In the Mediterranean. But this I be lieve to be a He; or rather, It la a myth, ben trovuto, Involving a tre- mendona blowing-up with which he sank Burr, asking him how he liked to be "without a country." But It la clear, from Burr'a life, that nothing of the sort could have happened; and I mention this only as an illustration of the stories which get a-going where there Is the least mystery at bottom So Fhlllp Nolan had his wish ful- filled. Foor fellow, he repented of bis folly, and then, like a mun, submitted to the fate he had asked for. lie nev er Intentionally added to the difficulty or delicacy of the charge of those who had him In hold. Accidents would happen ; but they never happened from his fault Lieutenant Truzton told me that when Terns was annexed, there waa a careful discussion among the ulcers, whether they should get hold of Nolan's handsome set of maps, and cut Texas out of It, from the map of the world and the map of Mexico. The United States had been cut out when the atlas was bought for him But It waa voted rightly enough, that to do this would be virtually to reveal to him what had happened, or, as Ilarry Cole said, to make him think Old Burr had succeeded. So It was from no fault of Nolan's that a great botch happened at my own table, when, for a short time, I was In command of the George Washington corvette, on the South Amerlcnn station. We were lying In the La Flata, and some of the officers, who had been on shore, and hnd Just Joined again, were entertain ing us with accounts of their misad ventures In riding the half-wild horses of Buenos Aires. Nolan was at table, end was in an unusually bright and talkative mood. Some story of a tum ble reminded him of an adventure of his own, when he was catching wild horses In Texas with his brother Steph en, at a time when he must have been quite a boy. He told the story with a good deal of spirit so much so, that the silence which often follows a good story hung over the table for an In stant, to be broken by Nolan himself. For he asked, perfectly unconsciously, "Pray, what has become of Texas.? After the Mexicans got their Independ ence, I thought that province of Texas would come forward very fast It Is really one of the finest regions on earth ; it Is the Italy of this continent But I have not seen or heard a word of Texas for near twenty years." , There were two Texan officers at the table. The reason he had never heard of Texas was that Texas and her af fairs had been painfully out of his newspapers since Austin began his settlements; so that, while he read of Honduras and Tamaullpas, and, till quite lately, of California, this virgin province, In which his brother had traveled so far and, I believe, had died, had ceased to be with him. Walters and Williams, the two Texas men, looked grimly at each other, and tried not to laugh. Edward Morris had his attention attracted by the third link In the chain of the captain's chan delier. Watrous was seized with a con vulsion of sneezing. Nolan himself saw that something was to pay, he did not know what And I, as master of the feast, had to say: "Texas la out of the map, Mr. No lan. Have you seen Captain Back's curious account of Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome?" After that cruise I never saw No lan again. I wrote to him at least twice a year, for In that voyage we became even confidentially Intimate t but he never wrote to me. The other men tell me that In those fifteen years he aged very fast, as well he might Indeed, but that he was still the same gentle, uncomplaining, silent sufferer that he ever was, bearing as 'best he could his self-appointed punishment, rather less social, perhnps, with new men whom he did not know, but more anxious, apparently, than ever to serve and befriend and teach the boys, some of whom fairly seemed to worship him. And now It seems the dear old fellow Is dead. He has found a home at last, and a country. Since writing this, and while con sidering whether or no I would print it, as a warning to the young of today of what It Is to throw away a country, I have received from Danforth, who Is on board the Levant, a letter which fives an account of Nolan's last hours. To understand the first words of the letter, the nonprofessional reader should remember that after 1817 the position of every officer who bad No lan In charge was one of the greatest delicacy. The government hnd failed to renew the order of 1807 regarding hlra. What was a man to do? Should he let him go? What, then, If he were called to account by the depart ment for violating the order of 1807? Should he keep blm? What, then, If Nolan should be liberated some day, and Bhould bring an action for false Imprisonment or kidnaping against ev ery man who had had him In charge? 1 urged and pressed this upon South iard, and I have reason to think that Vther officers did the same thing. But the secretary always said, as they so often do at Washington, that there were no special orders to give, and that we must act on our own Judg ment That means, "If you succeed, you will be sustained ; If you full, you will be disavowed." Well, as Danforth says, all that Is over now, though I do not know but I expose myself to a criminal prosecution on the evidence of the very revelation I am making. Here Is the letter: "Levant 2 V S. 131 W. "Dear Fred I try to Dnd heart and life to tell you that It Is all over with dear old Nolan. I have been with him on this voyage more than I ever was, and I can understand wholly now the way In which you used to speak of the dear old fellow. I could see that he was not strong, but I had no Idea that the end was so near. The doctor had been watching him very carefully, and yesterday morning came to me and told me that Nolan was not so well, and had not left his stateroom a thing I never remember before. He had let the doctor come and see hlra as he lay there, the first time the doctor had been In the stateroom, and he said he should like to see me. Oh, dear I do you remember the mysteries we boys used to Invent about his room, In the old Intrepid days? Well, I went In, and there, to bo sure, the poor fel low lay In his berth, smiling pleasant ly as he gave me his hand, but look ing very frail. I could not help a glance round, which Bhowed me what a little sbrlno he had made of the box he was lying In. The stars and stripes were triced up above and around a picture of Washington, and he had painted a majestic eagle, with light nlngg blazing from his beak and his foot Just clasping the whole globe, which his wings overshadowed. The dear old boy saw my glance, and said, with a sad smile, 'Here, you see, I have a country I' And then he pointed to the foot of his bed, where I bad not seen before a great map of the United States, as he had drawn It from mem ory, and which he hnd there to look upon es he lay. Quaint, queer old names were on it, In large letters: 'Indiana Territory,' 'Mississippi Ter ritory,' and 'Louisiana,' as I supposed our fathers learned such things; but the old fellow bad patched in Texas, too; he had carried his western boun dnry all the way to the Pacific, but on that shore he bad defined nothing. "'Oh, Dnnforth,' he said, 'I know am dying. I cannot get home. Sure ly you will tell me something now? Stopl stop! Do not speak till I say what I am sure you know, that there Is not in this ship, tbnt there la not in America God bless her I a more loyal man than L There cannot be a man who loves the old flag as I do, or prays for it as I do, or hopes for it as "Tell Me Their Names," He 8ald. I do. There are thirty-four stars In It now, Danforth. I thank God for that, though I do not know what their names are. There has never been one taken away; I thank God for that. know by that, that there has never been any successful Burr. Oh, Dan forth, Danforth,' he sighed out, "how like a wretched night's dream a boy's Idea of personal fame or of separate sovereignty seems, when one looks back on it after such a life as mine I But tell me tell me something tell me everything, Danforth, before I die 1' 'Ingham, I swear to you that I felt like a monster that I had not told him everything before. Danger or no dan ger, delicacy or no delicacy, who was I that I should have been acting the tyrant all this time over this dear, sainted old man, who bad years ago expiated, In his whole manhood's life, the madness of a boy's treason? 'Mr. Nolan,' said I T will tell you everything you ask about Only, where shall I begin?" "Oh, the blessed smile that crept over his white face I and he pressed my hand and said, 'God bless you I Tell me their names,' he said, and he point ed to the stars on the flag. 'The last I know Is Ohio. My father lived In Kentucky. But I have guessed Mich igan and Indiana and Mississippi that was where Fort Adams Is they make twenty. But where are your other fourteen? You have not cut up any of the old ones, I hope?' "Well, that was not a bad text, and I told him the names, In as good or der as I could, and he bade me take down his beautiful map and draw them in as I best could with my pencil. He was wild with delight about Texas, told me how his brother died there; he had marked a gold cross where he supposed his brother's grave was ; and he had guessed at Texas. Then he was delighted as he saw California and Oregon that, he sold, he bad sus pected partly, because he had never been permitted to land on that shore, though the ships were there so much. 'And the men,' said he, laughing, 'brought off a good deal besides furs.' Then he went back heavens, how far to ask about the Chesapeake, end what was done to Barron for surren dering her to the Leopard, and wheth er Burr ever tried again, and he ground his teeth with the only passion he showed. But In a moment thnt was over, and he sold, "God forgive me, for I am sure I forgive him.' Then he asked about the old war told me the true story of his serving the gun the day we took the Java asked about dear old Duvld Porter, as he called him Then ho ttled down moe quietly, and very lwpplly, to hear me tell In an hour the history of fifty years. "How I w'shed It had been some body who knew something I But I did as well as I could. I told him of the English war. I told him about Ful ton and the steamboat beginning. I told him about old Scott and Jackson ; told him all I could think about the Mississippi, and New Orleans, and Texas, and his own old Kentucky. And do you know he asked who was in command of the 'Legion of the West? I told him It was a very gal lant officer named Grant, and that by our lust news, he was about to estab lish his headquarters at Vlcksburg. Then, 'Where was Vlcksburg?' I worked that out on the map; It was about a hundred miles, more or less, above his old Fort Adams; and I thought Fort Adams must be a ruin now. 'It must be at old VIck's plan tation,' said he; 'well, that Is a change 1 "I tell you, Ingham, It was a hard thing to condense the history of half a century into that talk with a sick man. And I do not know what I told him of emigration, and the means of It of steamboats and railroads and telegraphs of Inventions and books and literature of the colleges and West Point and the Naval school but with the queerest Interruptions that ever you heard. You see It was Robinson Crusoe asking all the accu mulated questions of fifty-six years. "I remember he asked, all of a sud den, who wna president now; and when I told him, he asked If Old Abe was Gen. Bi-njumln Lincoln's son. He sold he met old General Lincoln, when he was quite a boy himself, at some Indian treaty. I said no, that Old Abe was a Kentucklan like himself, but I could not tell him of what family; he had worked up from the ranks. 'Good for hlml' cried Nolan; 'I am glad of that. As I have brooded and won dered, I have thought our dunger was In keeping up those regular succes sions In the first families.' Then I got talking about my visit to Wash ington. I told him of meeting the Ore gon congressman, Harding; I told him about Smithsonian and the exploring expedition; I told him about the cupl tol and the statues for the pediment and Crawford's 'Liberty' and Greenough's Washington: Ingham, I told him everything I could think of that would show the grandeur of his country and Its prosperity. "And he drank it In, and enjoyed It as I cannot tell you. lie grew more and more silent, yet I never thought he was tired or faint I gave hlra a glass of water, but he Just wet his lips, and told me not to go away. Then he asked me to bring the Presbyterian Book of Public Prayer,' which lay there, and said, with a smile, that it would open at the right place and so It did. There was his double red mark down the page; I knelt down and read, and he repeated with me, 'For ourselves and our country, O gra cious God, we thank thee, that, not withstanding our manifold transgres sions of thy holy laws, thou bast con tinued to us thy marvelous kindness' and so to the end of that thanksgiv ing. Then be turned to the end of the same book, and I rend the words more fumlllur to me: 'Most heartily we beseech thee with thy favor to be hold and bless thy servant, the presi dent of the United States, and all others in authority' and the rest of the Episcopal collect. 'Dunforth,' said he, 'I have repeuted those prayers night and morning, it Is now fifty-five years.' And then he said he would go to sleep. He bent me down over him and kissed me: and he said. 'Look In my Bible, Dnnforth, when I am gone.' And I went away. "But I had no thought It was the end. I thought he was tired and would sleep. I knew he was happy, and I wuntcd him to be alone. "But in an hour, when the doctor went In gently, he found Nolan had breathed his life away with a smile. He had something pressed close to his Hps. It was his father's badge of the Order of Clncinnutl. "We looked In his Bible, and there was a slip of paper, at - the place where he had marked the text "They desire a country, even a heavenly: wherefore God Is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.' "On this slip of paper he had writ ten: 1 'Bury me In the sea ; It has been my home, and I love It But will not someone set up a stone for my mem ory at Fort Adams or at Orleans, that my disgrace may not be more than I ought to bear?

PENALTY IS THREE YEARS AK,ry In the Senate To Modify Amendment Proves Futile Poin-d-xter Insists That It Go Through As Offered. .V.hmgton. Hoarding, storage er destruction of food, fuel or other nccewaries of life to limit supply or affect prices would be a felony under an amendment to the government first food bill adopted In the Senate with out a recorded vote. Several senators protested that the privislon was too drastic and would prevent legitimate storing to equalize markets, but all efforts to modify it failed. When Senator Fall proposed that the Federal Trade Commission be empowered to decide whether stor ing Is reasonable, Senator Polndexter, author of the amendment, Insisted thnt any Buch change would weaken the ef fectiveness of the measure as a weapon against speculators. Violation of the section would be punishable by Imprisonment In the penitentiary for not less than six months nor more than- three years. Holding by farmers or others of the products of land cultivated by them Is exempted. To Popularize Fish. An amendment which would author ize the Secretary of Commerce to take steps to promote more general use of fish to relieve the food stringency was offered by Senator Fletcher. It would permit the Secretary to catch and market fish. A letter from Secretary Redfleld In support of the proposal was rend. Chairman Gore, of the Agriculture Committee, asked thnt the Lever bill, already passed by the House with the amendments made by the committee, be substituted for the similar measure previously under consideration In the Senate. This was done and will facilitate final enactment Cattlemen To Aid. The second of the food bills, the measure to authorize a food adminls- tration and price-fixing, was discussed at an executive session of the House Committee on Agriculture. Representatives of Southwestern cattle-growing interests called on Her bert C. Hoover and pledged their sup port to the food bills and to the food administration to be created with Mr. Hoover at its head. Officers of the Wholesale Grocers' Association also saw Mr. Hoover and promised support for the legislation. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States probably will take a referendum vote of its membership on the food legislation. VILLA TAKES BORDER TOWN. He Surprlsea Carranza Garrison At Ojinaga, Opposite Presidio. Presidio," Texas. A Villa force at tacked Ojinaga, Mexico, opposite here, surprising the Mexican Government soldiers in the garrison there and causing them to flee to the American side, leaving their arms In Mexico. All women and children at Ojinaga fled across the line Into Texas when the attack started. Customs officials who arrived from Ojinaga said Villa led the attack In person. Many Mexican Government troops surrendered after fighting the attackers in the plaza of the town, the officials said, and Ojlnnga now is in possession of the Villa soldiers. The capture gives Villa a border port of entry to the United States. Villa's main command is reported to be at Polvo, 20 miles enst of Presidio. U. S. ENGINEERS IN PARIS.

SIMS' MESSAGE GIVEN OUT Admiral Says Mines Planted At En trance Of Port Were First Put There In Three Montha. Washington. The text of Vice-Ad' miral Sims' brief report on the pres ence of advance information in Ger many regarding the sailing of Ameri can destroyers to the war zone was made public by Secretary Daniels. It was contained In a letter to the Navy Department, the Secretary said, and was as follows: "An Interesting feature In connec tion with the arrival of the destroy' era Is the report that their sailing ap peared In Berlin newspapers about four days before their arrival, and also that a field of mines was planted im mediately off the entrance of the port at which they arrived the day before the arrival took place. These were the first mines planted In that vicinity during the previous three months." In giving out the extent, Mr. Dnniels said that the letter made no further reference to tho matter, and the Vice- Admiral "did not give any statement or speculation as to how Berlin ob tains Its information." Tl" Secretary also made public the following additional extract from the letter: "I am pleased to be able to report the excellent Impression given by our officers, ships and crew under their command. Our ships made no de mands of consequence upon the facili ties offered here in spite of the length of their passage under adverse condi tions. "The commander, when questioned by the admiral as to when his vessels would be ready for duty, reported that he should be ready that night, as soon as the ships were refueled. This was apparently a considerable surprise to the admiralty, who then gave them four days before taking up active work. The vessels themselves caused a great deal of complimentary com ment, and were found to be well equip ped for their prospective duty. "Speaking generally, the Impression made by our officers and our ships has caused very favorable comment both here and In the admiralty." WORKS NIGHT AND DAY. Bureau Of Engraving Hard Pushed By Demands Of War. Washington. The Liberty Loan and other war finance measures compel the Bureau og Engraving and Printing these days to work 24 hours a day and employ 1,200 extra workmen and clerks to produce the 2,700,000 Impres sions which now are turned out dally.

WOMEN WILL BE EMPLOYED Estimate Promised Within Three Weeks Congresswoman Makes Her Maiden Speech and Wina First Fight Washington. The Administration's Food Survey bill, first of the food-control measures, was passed by the House without a record vote. It ap propriates $14,770,000 for an Imme diate Investigation of tne country's food resources and for measures to stimulate production. A similar bill is under debate in the Senate and may be passed there this week. Estimate In Three Weeks. The Agricultural Department ex pects to present a fairly accurate esti mate of food resources within three weeks after the bill is signed by the President, Secretary Houston an nounced. As Boon as the measure be comes a law the department will start Its 17,000 employes and the 150,000 vol untary crop reporters to work on the Investigation. The preliminary report to be made within three weeks will be supplemented ' with monthly reports and probably by a further complete re port within six months If necessary. Material gathered will be turned over to Herbert C. Hoover, who will be named to head a Food Administra tion as soon as the pending regulatory food measure becomes law. Congreitwoman Takes Hand. The Survey bill passed virtually as It came from the committee. MIbb Rankin, the woman Representative from Montana, Inserted an amendment which would require the Department of Agriculture to use women In the survey work whenever practicable. An amendment by Representative McKenzie, of Illinois, would make all persons employedunder the bill liable to military service, and another would permit citizens to refuse to go more than 300 miles from their homes or places of business to testify In a food Inquiry. As originally drawn, the bill carried more than $18,000,000, but committee changes reduced the total. These are the principal amounts appropriated: For seeds, $5,778,000; education for increasing production by waste elim ination and conservation, $4,348,400; general survey, $2,522,000; eradication of live stock diseases and live stock Improvement work, $885,000; miscella neous Items, $547,400, and eradication of plant diseases and insects, $441,000.

HOOVER SAYS BREAD IS PRICE OF PEACE Allies Will Need Over 5000on 000 Bushels. MUST PROTECT OURSELVES Food Bill Before Cong rest Bulk Of Supplies Must Come From United States; Must Protect Our People. Washington. Bread is the price of Internal peace in Europe. And "the size of the loaf will . depend absolutely on what can t done from the North American nent," according to Herbert Ihw America's new food adminintrator.
