    House May Be
Shrine
Clizabeth, N. J.—One of the oldest
homesteads in New -Jepsey is the
stanch Hetfield house, built on the
banks of the Elizabeth river at the
foot of Pearl street here before Co-
lonial times. Sold recently by a de-
scendant of its second owner with the
provision that the house, rich in leg-
end and the home of nine generations.
be preserved, it has been offered as
a Colonial shrine or headquarters to
the historical and patriotic societies
IDEAL FOR SPRING

mained Tn the house from
ago, when Miss Hetfield and her moth-
er moved to a more modern home,
Built by Skipper.
The house was built in 1666-7 by
Abraham Lubberson, skipper of a Hud-
son river fleet and a resident of New
Amsterdam.” After a few years he
sold the property to Matthias Hatfield,
who had come to Elizabeth from New
Haven, Conn., although originally the
family lived in Hatfield, England,
whence was derived the name,
The change of the second letter In
the name from “a” to “e” occurred
during the early days of the Revolu-
tion. Many houses were divided
against themselves in those times and
the Hatfields were wot an exception.
Several members of the family chose
to remain loyal to the Crown and left
the homestead to join the British col-
ony on Staten island. The others,
conceived the idea of changing the
spelling of the name to sever kinship
with the royalists, The revised ver-
sion has been retained by all succeed-
ing generations.
Tradition tells of exciting doings
at the house in the days when the
Republic was in the making. Many
of these are confirmed by the papers
and parchments that Miss Hetfield re
tains.
One chapter in the historical lore
transmitted tells of the secret tunnel.
This chapter is sufficiently clear to
enable Miss Hetfield to say that the
tunnel once existed, although its lo-
cation is unknown. Whether it has
been entirely filled up, or whether
only its entrances have been sealed
by time or by intent is not known.
The legend says that it led from the
house to the water's edge in the river.
Among the objects in the house
were glass platters from which five

Better Grade Diamonds
to Be More Expensive
London.—Good diamonds are to be
more expensive, according to S. B.
Joel, member of the diamond syndi-
‘ate here which controls the price.
“Stones of three carats and upwards
will be affected and the minimum
increase will be 5 per cent,” he said.
“This increase has resulted from the
big demand for good stones. There
is a glut of the small stones produced
from the alluvial workings, but for
the big stones there is a big demand.
ONCE MORE CHAMPION

In addition to giving him the title,

and a large percentage of the gate re-

of something unexpected and unknown
gripped me. “There's nothing up there
to hurt you.” And ! went, not realiz-
ing that in going and facing the dan-
ger that 1 feared, I was not a coward,
but that I had courage, for courage
consists in facing danger or supposed
danger that you fear. Aristotle, one
of the wisest men in the world, bas
said so.
“Courage,” he tells us, “is not fear-
lessness, but the recognition of danger
and the power of self-control in spite
of fear.”
The man who faces danger without
fear is not courageous; he Is fool
hardy; his judgment is faulty.
After the marines had made their
courageous attack m1 Belleau woods 1
had a long letter from Martin telling
me all about it, though I had before
seen «tn account in the newspapers of
what Lappened.
“If anyone who was in the awful
carnage tells you that he had no fear,”
Martin wrote, “don’t believe him, for
he is either not human or a liar.
Every man knew when he went into
the attack that he faced death, or, if
not death, a torn, mangled body to
be carried through a life that might
be worse than death. As for myself.
I was white and trembling for a time
and then my heart begun beating like
a triphammer, but, terrified as” we
were, we went on, and you know the
result.”
Here courage of the
order—not fearlessness but
nition of awful danger, and the power
to go on and meet it.
