Hi horvt might etutnble on the dark, rough roads and throw lu rider with a broken neck. To the surefooted ne&a of the Eteed and the luck and daring of the horseman this country may te paid to owe Its existence as a free and independent nation. Ilevere's own story of hi rid? j?r fcar.G best explains the events that occurred that night. He fays: "On Tuesday evening a number of roldiera were observed marching to ward the bottom of the Common. About 10 o'clock Dr. NVarrea sent In proat hante for ni. and bepRed that I would immediately sat out for Lex ington, where Hancock and Adams were, and acquaint them of the move ment, and that it was thought they were the objects. When I cot to Dr. Warren's houie, I found that he had rent an express by land to Lexing ton a .Vr. William Dawes. The Sunday before, by !e;ire of Dr. War ren, I had been to L'-xington. to Hancock and Adarnn, who were at th Itf-v. Mr. Clark's. I returned at niht to CharleFtown. There I arr:-'ei with a Colonel Conant and sorie other gentlemen tliat if the Hritish v.ent cut by water, we should show two lanthorns in the North Church steeple, and if by land one as a sig nal; for we werr apprehensive it would be diincult to cross the Charles River or to get over Ilostun Neck. I left Dr. Warren, called upon a friend and desired him to make the signals. "I then went home, took my boots and surtout, went to thvi north part of the town, where I kept a boat. Two friends rowed me across Charles River, a little to the east of where the Somerset man-of-war lay. It was then young flood, the ship was wind ing and the moon was rising. They landed me on the Charlestown tide. When I got into town I met Colonel Conant and several others. They said they had seen our signals. I told them what was acting, and we went to get a horse of Deacon Larkin.' With the horse speeding him along, Paul Revere soon reached Lexing ton, where he aroused Hancock and Adams. On his way to Concord, he was captured by four British officers. While their prisoner, a volley fired by Colonial militiamen frightened them, and they abandoned their cap tive, after taking his horse. Revere then footed it to Woburn, back to Lexington and on to Concord, where he saw the memorable conflict.

The Declaration of Independence has been in all subsequent history designated as "a document immor tal," and th story of the Etrugglfs for American Independence comprise the most thrilling incidents related to the revolutionary movement to plant freedom in the New World. History gives honorable place to the utterances of the heroes whose names are linked with the achievements of the Continental Congress. We quote: WORDS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON: "The God wko gave us life gave ua liberty at the same time." "We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." ;"Ve mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sa cred honor." "When in (he course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with an other, and to assume among the pow ers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinion of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that Impel them to the separation.' tion of Independence.

CO 1SR5HS1ESH m e rii o e ui towns once a fought the first fight and burned the first powder in the strug gle for liberty and freedom ' from tyr anny. In those two year those stirring events are celebrated with all the en thusiasm accorded to the celebration of the King's Birthday by the Brit ons, the bitter foes of theee same towns 132 years ago. But April 18, or the night of the ISth, is just as much included in this annual observance as Patriots' Day itself. "Lantern Night" it is called, from the fact that on the night of April 18, 1775, a lantern was hung in the belfry of theNorth Church to warn the country around that Brit ish soldiers were on their way. At that time, although the country about Boston and Charlestown was thickly settled, there were no tall buildings, smokestacks and grain elevators intervening to hide the light from view, and the lantern served its purpose well. In these days the feeble rays of a lantern ia the old North Church could hardly be distinguished from the neighboring housetops. But "Lantern Night" has more lierht to commend it to history. At midnight on the 18th of April, 1775, Paul Revere, the daring patriot, made his famous ride on horseback to arouse the sleeping farmers and townspeople with the warning that the British soldiers were on the way to seize the powder and stores hidden away in Concord. However much the facts and de tails of this ride may be disputed and there have arisen a legion of critics and carping historians who deny the authenticity of much of the story the youth of tho land will be more than willing to accept it as given to the world in the lines of Longfellow, which thrill and stir every one who reads them. But since denials have arisen, it may be well to state the facts as plain, unvarnished history gives them. As a matter of fact, while it is popularly believed that the lantern was hung in the belfry of the North Church to signal the direction taken by the British to Paul Revere, who vcaa -o.-nittne' across the river for the signal, Paul Revere had no need of cided to have the whole program of such a signal. He had accurate in- that night gone over again, midnight formation retrardine the route to be ride and all. A rider was found who traversed by the British. The lan- consented to make the trip, and he tern was placed there to warn others, started out as though the British that they might spread the alarm were really at his heel. He fell off also, especially if Revere was taken his horse in Medford Square, how prisoner, ever, and when he picked himself lip Paul Revere performed a great and concluded to take things more sedate PAUL REVERE, BOOTED AND SPURRED. than the mere hanging of a warning lasting service to his country when ly. Since then tne commiuee nas been content with the hanging of the two lanterns in a belfry by the old seiton. CHRIST CHURCH, EOSTON. The m.itch was white, Tlie (lame was blus, T'ne giant cracker red. And Tommy saw the s-tars. when he Came down upon his head Pauline Frances Camp. No man ever did, no man ever will renounce a nomination that mean? election to the greatest oilice in the world. The President will simply be forced to run a second time, because From the Declara-1 seems as certain as fate he will be chosen by acclamation in the Republi can convention. The convention will not wait to get any word from him as to his own desires in the matter. It will nominate him and adjourn, nd the people will do the rest." This is the concensus of opinion that one hears here every day at tlie hotels from prominent men, from one end of the country. North Carolina Declared For Rooso velt Again Over Two Years Ago. A year ago last summer former Senator Butler of North Carolina gave an interview to the Washington papers in which he pointed out why the American people would demand that the President should serve a second term and how the President could and woidd be induced to yield. Now that view has become general. "Bowing to Public Opinion." The Washington Evening Star has a very timely and thoughtful article under, the above heading. The fol lowing: extract is most interesting: "Two interesting- dispatches bear ing upon the general railroad sittia tion in this country are printed in the news columns today. One is in tae form of an interview with M. E. In- galls, president of the "Bijr Four" road, in which he says that the rail road men of the United States no longer regard the President as a bogey and have passed the stage of keen apprehension lest the chief exe cutive may adopt a redical policy of expropriation. They are now able, he declares, to apply the personal equation to his uterances and to see railroads only in matters in which E. II. Harriman is concerned. The most important sentence in the interview was decided which ever was debated in America, and a greater perhaps never was, nor win De, aeciaea among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independ ent States." From a Letter to His Wife. ami lorth by ojerators who nave made millions out of the transaction. The " harrimauizing" process, now fairly well understood by the jn-ople. have been accepted as proof jMisitive that the old freight and passenger rates were exorbitant. In view of all these devices ir.d maneuvers there is no fear that ti; redaction of passenger rates by ilire't legislation or of freight rate by commission rulings will drive any of the corjMiratious into the hands of r" ceivers in sjite of their enorino'., watered stock." Secretary Wilscn Smiles. Following closely on the heels of the coldest June ever seen in Wash ington there has now come the hot test June weather for ten yea-. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson who has been looking gloomy during the cold summer (?) weather, now wears a broad smile and says that the fa mers will yet make something. The Patronage Boss in Town. One of the men whose conception of the highest duty a Republican State chairman is to "Iioss" at the Federal "pie counter" was in town a few days ago. The name of this seeial one is Alams and he regi.d ered from North Carolina. Rut he i? not a very happy Adams these days. There are several things that keep him awake at nights, and besides be may be worrying about things that have not become generally known. One of the things which is known to everybody, that is worrying Adams is that the Republican party is xl ready too large for a little "boss." He can not always without too much protest appoint the class of men to office who will swear persona! alleg iance to Lim, and without this be can not build up and maintain a personal machine. It is plain why he wants to read men out of the party. It if al ready too big for him. t.. -fv, tit i t!
