iTILES OF PLUCK
; AND ILTENTURK |
•Jack Jouett Saved Jefferson.
PAUL REVERE was not the
only man who rode long and
hard to warn patriots that the
f. British were coming, in the
days when the present entente be
tween England and America was a
tiling undreamed of. Worthy to rank
with it was the adventure of Jack
Jouett, a young Charlotteville innkeep
er. who rode thirty miles to save
Thomas Jefferson from capture. The
story is told in St. Nicholas by R. T.
W. Duke, Jr.
Jack shrewdly guessed that Tarle
ton would follow the highway into the
main road that led by the country
scats, the homes of the gentry. Jack
knew a shorter route, an old disused
oad that would lead lilm to the river,
hence to Monticello, and then to.
"harlottesvtlle—not a pleasant road
*n ride or drive, though as picturesque
a route as one often sees: for on either
side grew great pine trees iiere, and
passive oaks there, while dogwood
and sassafras and sumac filled the
spaces. The road had once been a
uittalo track, then an Indian trail,
then a wagon road for a while, but as
no one ever worked it or changed the
grade, it rapidly washed into a suc-
C" -ion of red gullies and became wcll
igh impassable. So it had been
abandoned many years, and nature
had covered up the r ears made by the
animals and men. and only in a few
places could one have known that it
had ever been used as a highway.
Broom-sedge grew wherever there
was an open space; ferns of a hun
dred varieties clustered in every hol
low where water ran, and the wild
bramble ran riot everywhere in the
shade. Into this old road Jack pushed
his horse, and soon was dashing .at
full speed over hill and dale. It was a
dangerous ride, even at a slow gait.
Deep gullies lay concealed tinder
treacherously smiling wild flowers.
Grnund-liog holes offered pitfalls lia
ble to break the leg of his steed; over
hanging limbs swept him in the face,
and the wild brier ever and anon
caught him in a painful and harassing j
embrace. Ilis face bore for many j
years the sears left on his face by ,
tills brier, which, you know, climbs up
trees and seems to throw itself from !
one to another. But Jack had uo time
to consider these things. He knew
that in a few hours the enemy would
lie in Charlotte ville, and make the
Governor and Legislature prisoners
unless he could give them timely
warning. His mare was sure of foot,
sound of wind, and no other fox hunt
er got the brush when Jack and she
were in the hunt.
So away he wont, touching iter light
ly with the spur now and then, but
often cheering iter in the race with a
merry whistle or eneouraglug word.
He had thirty miles to make. He
could have as easily made fifty on a
good road as thirty through this wil
derness. At one point the disused
road entered a field in sight of the
highway along which Tnrleton's le
gion was passing, and a few strag
glers saw Jack when he dashed into
the open. They followed liitn with
loud shouts aud a pistol shot or two,
but when he dashed into the woods
they abandoned the pursuit. Onee his
bay mare fell, her foot having caught
in a mass of brush unjl brier and half
rotten logs, but up she scrambled aud
away she went, as if she knew that
tlie fate of a commonwealth depnded
upon her. In two hours Jack rode his
thirty miles and paused ill the ford j
just opposite the little hamlet of Mil
ton, two miles from Monticello. Only
a moulliful of water did he allow his
gallant bay to sip, and then he dashed
up the river bank and ou through the
streets of the village, stopping not at
anxious hails of men and women, but
merely shouting: "The British are
coming! The British are coming!"
In ten minutes he drew rein iu front
of a quuint brick house on top of the
now famous mountain. "He was a
Bight, too," the darkies said. His face
was torn nnd bleeding from the wild
brier thorns, his gray blue suit cov
ered with mud and dirt, his mare cov
ered with sweat and foam and pant
ing as if her heart would burst through
her sides. Down from the porch in
front of which Jack had halted came
n tall, thin man, dressed iu a suit of
naukeen, lace at his wrists and shirt
front, and with a little sword-cane In
his hand. This m'an had clear, spark
ling blue eyes, and a thin skin under
which the blood almost seemed start
ing. His hair was thin and curly and
covered with white powder. For a
moment he did not recognize the
rider. Then, asj he drew nearer, "Why,
Mr. Jouett," he said, "what brings you
here, and with your good horse so
well-uigh spent':"
Jack could only gasp, "The British,
Governor! Tanetou and his men
passed Cuckoo Tavern at ii o'clock this
morning;''
Aud Tarlcton was outwitted.
Story of a Fall.
Every time that Thomas Dougherty
looks at the stump of his left leg he
realizes that falling 100 feet into the
water and falling the same distance to
the ground are entirely different. Yt-t
he insists that, once having started on
the downward path, a mau can choose
the way of his descent and land on his
feet, according to the New York Press.
He says if he hadn't been able to do
this feat he wouldn't he telling his
earthly friends now how it happened j
Tom runs a little store in Pittsburg. |
Years ago, when a-lad iu England, lie
took to the sen, and on shipboard be
got used to falls and jumps from liigli
places. One time, while up on ths
main truck in the harbor of Liverpool,
lie saw a man and a woman struggling
for their lives in the water. He jumped
to their rescue, and landed 100 feet
below in the water, feet down. When
he came to the surface be succeeded
in saving both their lives.
Years passed, and Tom, a man, for
sook the sea and went to Pittsburg,
where he was employed in the rigging
gang of a gas company. One day,
while at the top of a chimney which
rose 101 feet from the ground, he fed
from the ropes and fell downward. He
says:
"When I found myself going to the
bottom I wus not at first alarmed. I
had fallen before and jumped from
higher points. But just then I hap
pened to remember that in my former
experiences I had jumped or fallen in
to the water. So, says I to myself,
'You are goiug to get hurt, Tommy, so
look out.' Down I went, and, to tell
the truth, it seemed as though I had
bedn on the way a mouth before I
struck tlic bottom. Finally there was
a crash and I saw more stars than all
the astronomers nave been able to dis
cover since the world has been. After
the first jar was over I felt a stinging
sensation in botli of my legs. I tried
lo get on my feet, but could not, and
then was sure I liad been hurt."
Wliat happened to bis legs was this:
Both ankles were teloseopc-d nnd every
bone in nis left loot and ankle was
broken. That leg liad to be amputated
at the knee, but tUe other leg was not
hurt so badly, and It was saved.
Dougherty recovered, and now he Is
happy, and likes to tell how he felt
when he was falling.
A Story of Daniel Boone.
11l ills hook, "The Early History of
Western Pennsylvania," Mr. I. D.
Hupp tells an interesting anecdote of
Colonel Daniel Boone, which is char
acteristic of the humor and coolness
of the famous pioneer. He was once
resting in (he woods with a small
party of followers, when a large num
ber of Indians came suddenly upon
them. Boone had little doubt as to
their hostile intentions, but giving no
evidence of his fears, he invited the
red men to eat with him and his
friends.
The invitation was accepted. The
Indians felt so sure of their prey that
they could afford to wait. Boone, af
fecting a carelessness which he did
not feel, admonished his men in an
undertone to keep their hands on their
rifles.
Finally ho rose tnd strolled toward
the Indians, unarmed, leisurely pick
ing tlie meat from a hone. The In
dian chief rose to meet him.
After saluting, Boone professed ad
miration for the knife with which the
chief was cutting tils meat, and asked
to see it. The Indian promptly handed
It to him, and the pioneer, who pos
sessed some skill at sleight of hand,
deliberately examined the knife, then
opened his mouth and apparently swal
lowed it.
The Indians stared in amazement
while Boone gulped, rubbed his throat,
stroked his body, aud then, with ap
parent satisfaction, pronounced the
knife "very good to oat."
After enjoying the surprise of the
Indians for a minute, he made another
contortion, aud drawing forth the
knife, as the Indians believed, from
ills body, he politely returned it to its
owner.
The old chief look the point cnu
tiously and suspiciously between his
thumb nnd finger as If fearful of
being contaminated by handling the
weapon, nnd flung it from him into the
bushes.
The Indians seemed uneasy after
that, and very soon marched away,
without showing their hostile intent.
They did not choose to molest n man
who could swallow a scalpiug-knifo
and call it "good to eat."
Fouglit. With an Eagle.
A woman named Callahan, living at
Carmel, IVnu., liad a desperate fight
with an eagle which was trying to
carry away her two-year-old child.
The child's face nnd hands were torn
by the bird's talons and Mrs. Callahan
was seriously pecked before she suc
ceeded in driving off the big bird.
The child liad wandered into a clear
ing near the house, and soon after
ward Mrs. Callahan heard her scream
ing. From the door of her home tlie
frightened mother beheld the monster
bird pecking, clawing and flapping the
little one who, with her hands and
arms was trying to break away from
her antagonist.
Once the bird caught the child's
dress in its talons and prepared to
bear it aloft, but the child's struggles
compelled the bird to let go. The
frightened mother secured a rifle and
ran to the rescue of her child. She
dared not shoot, but with the butt of
the guu she rau screaming toward the
eagle. It was not to be driven off
without a struggle.
It let go of the child and turned its
attention to the parent. The bird
Hew into tlie woman's face and peeked
her eyes and nose, but with a well
directed blow from the club tlie eagle
dropped to tlie ground, and after a
moment's scrambling took to the air
and wont iiying away. It is said that
during tlie past summer this eagle
lias carried away several pigs and
(hat once before it had made an at
tack upon a child. Mrs. Callahan
says that the bird was five or six feet
from tip to tip of wing, and that its
talons were almost razor-like in their
sharpness.

I SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL,
A firm of Hauau, Germany, has suc

The London Lancet calls attention
to the fact that canned toiiintoes are
now being extensively colored, in or

The third cable has been laid be

It comprises four wires, which extend
from London to Rotterdam and Am
sterdam. Telegraphing over these
wires will be done by means of the
Hughes apparatus, and at busy times
with duplex Hughes apparatus. The
cost of the construction of the cable
will be borne by both countries. This

In excavating for the drainage sys

Some of the articles found were golden
ornaments with which the Aztec gods
were decorated. On the extension of

The scarcity of agricultural labor

with the work. One of the most novel
Is a mechanical milking device, hut
which, however.has not been employed
with very great success. The results
of mechanical milking are far below
those obtained by hand, which is prin
cipally due to the fact that no two

animals object to the tubes.
The American red gum wood is
now being largely employed in London
for street paving purposes. Regent
Street, Piccadilly, and the Haymarket
have recently been paved with this
wood, and it is to be employed exten
sively in other parts of the metrop
olis. Although the wood is not so
hard as the red woods of Australia,
it is more durable than deal or any
other timber, while it affords the best
foothold for horses. A prominent fea
ture of the wood is that it neither
shrinks nor expands under the in
fluence of dry or wet weather, which
are great recommendations for its
utilization for paving purposes.
A Claimant to tlin llrltl.h Tlu-one.
Diversity of personal claim has ever
constituted a hitch in the "divine
right" argument to sustain a throne.
It is an interesting manifestation in
raonnreiiienl affairs even now, when
that argument Is so little dwelt upon.
At the present moment one gentleman
Is abroad who considers himself the
rightful emperor of the French, while
another sees himself the proper king
of the same people. Spain lias a pre
tender in the shadow. And while
Queen Victoria, of the house of Han
over, lies dead in Osborne House, a
lady watching events from Munich
regards herself as a living Mary IV.,
direct from the house of Stuart.
The pretender in Bavaria is the
Princess Mary Theresa Dorothea, wife
of Prince Louis. She is a direct de
scendant of the Princess Henrietta
Anne, sister of the deposed -Tames 11.
If she has any hope in England it is
In the Legitimist party. But her hopes
are admittedly faint. When a state
ment of the Legitimist cause was
printed, nearly a year ago, she con
tributed her photograph to the story.
So little was thought of the matter in
Britain that the Legitimist Jacobite
League is permitted to exist un
troubled and unwatchcd. This Mary
in Munich is a devout Catholic. She
has twelve living children, one of
whom is regarded by her as the real
Prince of Wales. Her ambitions need
not trouble the rest of Victoria nor the
dreams of Edward Vll.—New York
Herald.
Effect of Foreign Invasion in China.
The effects of quartering the Ger
mans, French and Italians in the city
soon became apparent. When they
moved in, conditions were about norm
al. The streets teemed with life, and
the shops and markets did business as
usual. By the next day nearly all the
shops were closed and the markets
vacated, except in the quarter policed
by the British. The major part of the
population had disappeared. The ways
were comparatively deserted. Carts
trundled by French, German, or Ital
ian soldiers, and widen with loot, could
bp seen everywhere. The town was
evidently being pllaged deliberately
and systematically. Now and then a
woman's piercing scream broke from
the muffling depth of a cluster of
houses, and spent its echoes in the
empty streets. Such sounds, with their
sinister meaning, were frequent in the
French and Italian quarters.—From

"I cannot Bay enough In regard to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It has done me more good than all the doctors. I have been troubled with
female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoel
and was so weak that I could not do my housework.
I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the womb and ovaries,
and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache
very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work ; was not able tc
stand on my feet long at a timo. My husband spent hundreds of dollars foi
doctors but they did me no good. My husband's sister wrote what the Vege
table Compound had done for her, and wanted mo to try it. but 1 did not then
think it would do me any good. After a time, I concluded to try it, and I can
truly say it does all that is claimed for it. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Com
and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I have
had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I hav
in years ; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite, and
now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. I feel that it has savad my life and would not be with
out it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to all my sex, for I
know if they will follow Mrs. Pinkham's directions, they will be cured."
