Jones is conspicuous for courage, abil
ity and success as a naval commander.
Classed by the enemy as a "rebel'' and
"pirate," and his very name used as a
terror to children, still this was at the
time when Washington wns also called
a "rebel," when Franklin was de-
no'incrd as a "honry-hcaded traitor,"
nnd Samuel Adams nnd John Hancock
were considered as meriting "condign
punishment."
The vnlorouR and desperate achieve
ments of .Tones at Whitehaven, near
his parly Scottish home, and on board
the Bon Homme Richard, in the cap
ture of the Sernpis, forty-four guns
drew upon him not only denunciation.
but the vivid picturing of fancy in the
books of the day, to which generations
in Orent Britain have clung. As a
matter of fact, his sublime courage and
his fierce purpose were dedicated to the
cause of American liberty, which he
espoused with bis earliest years, and
his severity was only what he consid
ered just retaliation for the atrocities
enacted in this country by the British
commanders. He wished "to put an
end to the burnings in America by
making one good fire of the English
shipping."
He wns the enrliest officer of the
Navy with a spirit nnd capacity for
daring exploits necessary In a contest
of the feeble against the strong, and
the one also who gave the first ideas,
nnd put them into execution, for a per
manent American Navy.
Wth some difficulty U has been
learned flint the remnlns of this illus
trious man are in an obscure cemetery
in Taris. It is proposed to remove tlicm
to this country, as lie died a navn!
hero and a steadfast patriot. His pri
vate papers were in the possession of
first one nnd then a second gentleman
of this city, and finally passed to the
hands of a third person.
I propose to draw more especially
from tills source some Interesting par
ticulars in regard to Jones, who wns
;iot less brave with his sword than
gallant with tongue nnd pen.
John Taul Jones was born nt Arbeg
Isinv'. Kirkcudbright, Scotland, on July
fl. 17-17. His father was John rani, n
gardener. At twelve be went to s-en,
sailing from Whitehaven. He had a
brother in Fredericksburg, Vn., and he
came io Ibis country before he wns
thirteen. He became a mate and mas
ter of vessels. In 1773, his brother
having died, he took charge of bis es
tates, nnd nbout this time changed his
name to Jones.
Before the colonies had declared their
independence the maritime aggressions
of (,'rent Britain caused the American
Congress to proceed to reprisals. It
was therefore resolved to have a small
naval force. Jones immediately offered
bis services. He was appointed a First
Lieutenant December 22, 177.". He was
the first man 1o hoist the flag which
was then used.
His commission ns Captain, issued
by order of Congress nnd signed by
John Hancock, dated nt Philadelphia,
October 10, 1770, says: "To John mill
Jones, Esquire. We, reposing especial
trust and confidence in your patriotism,
valor, conduct and fidelity, do, by these
presents, constitute and appoint you
to be a Captain in the Navy of the
United States of North America, fitted
out for the defense of American liberty '
and for repelling hostile invasion."
He interested himself in giving opin
ions as to the organization of n Navy.
Many of his plans were adopted. He
recommended the appointment ot Com
missioners of Dock Yards to superin
tend the building and outfit of ships of
war. Had it not been for his exertions
It is probable that the Navy would
have gradually disappeared.
The following resolutions of Con
gress show how directly Jones was as
sociated with the adoption of the pres
ent flag:
In Congress, June 14, 1777.
"Resolved, That the flag of the Thir
teen Pnited States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the
Union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new constella
tion. "Resolved, Thnt Captain J. Tnul
Jones be appointed to command the
ship Ranger."
He wns the first to hoist the .Stars
and Stripes. Arriving at Brest, In the
Ranger, be delayed his salute to the
French fleet until be was assured that
it would be rcturni'dT, and he thus bad
tlie honor of the first salute which the
Americnu flag ever received from a
foreign man-of-war. The battle flag
which flew on the Bon Homme Rich
ard was carried in the Dewey parade
In Washington.
In a letter he says: "I have not
drawn my sword in our glorious cause
for hire, but In the support of the dig
nity of nature, and in obedience to
the genuine divine feeling of philan
thropy. I hoisted with iny owl bar.ds
the Flag of Freedom the first time

have attended It ever since with ven
eration on tlie ocean. I claimed and
obtained its first salute from France
before our indepndenee was otherwise
announced In thnt kingdom, nnd no
man can wish more ardently to support
its rising glory than myself."
The English Ambassador obtained an
order for the dismissal from Texel, an
island of Holland, "of n certain Taul
Jones, a subject of the King, who, ac
cording to treaties nnd file laws of
war, could oniy b? considered as a
rebel and a pirate." Writing of bis
remarkable escape, he says: "I had
the pleasure of laughing at their ex
pense as we passed tlie Downs, in spite
of their ships of war. and along the
coast in full view of the Isle of Wight."
In tho midst of all this excitement
be gave a remarkable evidence of the
gallant side of his nature by writing
some verses to n lady. This is the
introductory explanation: "Verses
written on board the Alliance, oft

fleet: being in answer to a piece writ
ten and sent to the Texel by a young
iuuy nt The Hague."
"With him," says a writer, "woman
was indeed not n toy to waste some
idle hours on, but a superior existence
for whom man was born an honored
slave. Her wildest caprice was to him
law, nnd her most improbable declara
tion absolute authority." A lady of
the French Court "Delia" offered all
her diamonds and effects because she
heard that Jones crew were shut out
of prize money. Her custom was to sit
before her lover's portrait "for hours,
bathed in tears." She wished to follow
him to America, and was willing to be
the lowest of his crew. In a letter to
the Countess de I.nvendahl lie says:
"I beseech you to accept tho within
lock. I am sorry that It is now eighteen
Inches shorter than it was three
months ago. If I con hi send you niv
heart itself, or anything else that could
afford you pleasure, it would be my
happiness to do it."
He visited St. Mary's Isle, intending
to capture the Ear of Selkirk, but
Lord Selkirk wns absent. Jones re
turned to his vessel, but an officer nnd
some of the crew went to the horse and
carried off the family plate of tlie
house of Douglas. Subsequently Jones
returned the plate. He was quite in-
forested in the Countess of Selkirk,
nnd in nddressing her a letter of npol-
ogy for the conduct of his men, be
made this nppe.il: "As ihe feelings of
your gentle besom cannot but be con
genial with mine, let me entreat you,
madam, to use your persuasive i.rt
with your husband to stop this cruel
and destructive war, In which Britain
can never succeed."
King Louis XVI. gave Jones a sword
and cheated him n Chevalier of the
Order of Military Merit, and Congress
voted him a gold medal. The chief no
bility of France loaded him with invi
tations. Congress thanked him in this form
In February, 17SI:
"Resolved, That the Congress enter
tain a high sor.se of the distinguished
bravery and military conduct of John
rnul Jones, Captain of tho Navy of
tho United States, nnd particularly in
bis victory over the British ship Ser
apis on the coast of England, which
was attended with circumstances so
brilliant ns to excite great applause
and approbation."
In 17S1 Jones arrived in the United
States. He was elecied by Congress
to command the America, the first shin
of seventy-four guns built in tills coun
try. It was also nronosed in CCO!) t A
tlie grade of near-Admiral for him. but
it was not done. Hi? superintended the
building of the ship. The French lost
one of their ships, nnd Congress pr
sented the new vessel to Louis XVI.,
and consequently Jones lost the com
mand. In 17S3 he returned to France.

money. He went to Denmark, and in
17SS entered tlie Russian naval ser
vice, with rank of Uwir-Admlrnl. re-

Congress. He finally removed to Faris

He was short In stature and slenderly

Dreams Which Cause Jteath.
In eases where dreams kill there Is
a sort of combined action between the
dream and the disease through which
death Is accomplished. In the first
place, the dream is usually the product
of the disease. A person may have
heart disease, which never asserts it
self or allows the victim in any way
to know of its presence until the fact
is disclosed in n frightful dream.
Moreover, terrifying dreams are often
the first evidence of heart disease.
Then the frequent recurrence of these
dreams, dealing repented shocks to the
nervous system, aggravates the disease
until the heart is so weak that one
more shock is sufficient to cuuso death.

Be careful. In getting your bed, to
see if the trimmings (or the bed itself,

CARING FOR PAINT BRUSHES.
Every housewife has, or should have,
one or more good paint brushes and
some cans of ready mixed paints.
Nothing brightens up woodwork of any
description more than a coating of
good paint, and nothing saves the
scrubbing brush more. When done
with using the brushes, it will pay
her to take care of- them, for their
uses are simply legion. Don't let
"John" borrow them; he should have
his own (which you should cheerfully
borrow when you want them). When
done with the brush, suspend it in
water, with the brush part not quite
touching the bottom ot tlie vessel In
which it is suspsnded, being careful
that the water just covers the bristles,
not reaching the binding, which should
never be wet. Cared for in this way,
a brush will Inst a long lime. Some
painters insist that a varnish brush
should never be put in water, while
others claim that it does not matter;
but all agree that linseed oil is a good
preservative, the brush being suspend-
?d so that only tho hair is covered. It
Is n good plan not only to have these
paints and brushes, but to use them,
and until tried, one has no idea what
a "saving power' for tlie overworked
housewife is to bo found In them.

Dear Sirs. Pinkham :
" About three years ago I had Intense pain
In my stomach, with cramps nt:d raging
headaches. Tlie doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that I did not get any better ha
examined me and, to my mrpri.se, declared
I had a tumor in the uterus.
"I felt sure that it meant, my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. I spent h.imlrwls
of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but!
an operation would save me. Fortunately I
corresponded with my aunt In the New Kiie
and States, who oil vised met) try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before rib
mit ting to an operation, and I at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great reliof that my general health began to
improve, and after three months I noticed
that the tumor had reduced in tire. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
It, had entirely disappeared without an oper
ation, and using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and wordk
fall to express how gratof ul I am for the ooa
it has done me." Miss Luella Adams, Colon
nade Hotel, Seattle, Wash.
Such unquestionable'' testimony
proves tlie value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound", and should give)
confidence and hope to every sick
woman.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all ailing
