Revolutionary Patriot.
James Lovell, a distinguished pa-
triot of the Revolution, died 100 years
ago In the town of Windham, Me. Mr.
Lovell was born in Boston in 1737
and graduated from Harvard college at
the age of nineteen. He delivered,
April 2, 1771, the oration before the
town authorities on the Boston mas-
sacre. Because of his display of pa
triotism he was imprisoned by Gen
eral Gage Immediately after the battle
of Bunker Hill. Subsequently he was
conveyed to Halifax with the British
army, and remained in confinement
until exchanged for Governor Skene in
the latter part of 1776. From 1776
until 1782 Mr. Lovell was a member
of the Continental congress. In later
life he filled a number of public of-
fices in Boston.
No Use.
When visiting the wounded men In
a field hospital an army chaplain came
to one poor fellow who was groaning
pitifully.
"Come, my poor fellow, bear the
pain like a man." said the chaplain
"It's no uee kicking against fate."
"Bedad, sorr," murmured the suf
ferer, "you're right, especially when
as In my case, they're the fate of an
army mule."
Women Change Subject Too Often?
In the Woman's Home Companion
Margaret Busbee Shipp, writing a love
atory entitled "Sweet Margaret." pre
sent* a character who comments, as
follows, on women's conversation:
•"I never had a sister, and 1 have
never known how to talk to women
They embarrass me; they—er—
change the subject so often, I never
seem quite to catch up.'"
Hard to Stand.

New York, Aug. 1.—The vast and
complex machinery of the securities
markets of the world came to a com-
plete halt tod^iy for an indefinite
period. It was an occurrance unpre-
cedented In history.
With all Europe seemingly on the
verge of war. the continental ex-
changes closed several days ago, with
the I^ondon market following suit to-
day. and the New York Stock Ex-
change would have been called upon
to bear the weight of the world's
financial burdens. It had virtually
done so all the week. for. while the
London market was open, transactions
were only nominal. The unloading of
stocks here by panic-stricken Europe
during the last four days and the con-
sequent collapse of prices made his-
tory In Wall street.
To continue longer to bear the bur-
den, in the opinion of the bankers
whose Influence determines the course
of events in the street, would have
been hazardous In the extreme. After
a period of hesitation, and extreme
nervous tension, it was decided ten
minutes before the hour set for the
beginning of business today that the
exchange would not be opened. That
action closed the last great market
of the world. All the other American
exchanges quickly followed suit.
As it was there were four assign-
ments, three of them announced on
the cotton exchange. The firms are
Flower & Co., bankers; S. H. P. Pell
& Co., stock, cotton and grain brok-
ers; Homer, Howe £ Co., and F. J.
Frederlckson ft Co.. both cotton brok-
ers.
Other big American stock exchanges
that closed today were those at Bos-
ton. Chicago. Philadelphia. Pittsburg.
Baltimore, St. I-ouis, New Orleans and
San Francisco.
It was the impression tonight that
the worst of the storm had passed.
George W. Ely. secretary of the stock
exchange, said there was no indication
of trouble from any other quarter.
New York's leading bankers assert
unanimously that the position of the
banks is sound.
How long the stock exchange will
be closed is a matter of conjecture,
the answer depending upon the course
of events abroad.
"If a general European war should
come." said one member of the stock
exchange governing board, "the ex-
changes may be closed all summer.''

NO EXPERT WITNESS NEEDED
Quite Evident Mr. Mlggs Waa Right
When Ha Testified as to the
Handwriting.
"Libel, indeed'"
Old Mlggs repeated the worda to
himself dully and uncomprehending-
ly, as he tramped along to the court,
where he was to appear- as altnese
In a local libel ault.
Nervously he entered the wltnasa
box.
The fierce looking lawyer eyed him
calculatingly.
"Do you swear," he aaked, "that thia
ia not your handwriting ?"
I dont think ao." atammered
Miggs.
"Now. be careful." Inelnuated the
lawyer "Are you prepared to swear
that thia handwriting does not reaem-
ble yours?"
"Yes," answered Miggs trembling.
"You take your oath that this doea
not in any way reaemble your hand-
writing?" solemnly queried the
learned man.
"Y-yes, air," stammered the witneaa,
now thoroughly frightened.
"Well, then, prove it!" denounced
the lawyer, triumphantly, as he
thrust his head toward the witneaa.
This action woke the last spark of
drooping courage In poor Miggs. and
thrusting forth his head, he yelled:
" 'Cos I can't write!"

NEW MONEY DEFEATS DANGER.
Wilson and McAdoo Act Quickly to
Strengthen Finances and to Irv
aure Againat a War Flurry.
Washington, Aug. 1— President Wil-
son and the administration acted
promptly today to reassure the coitn-
try against any threatening financial
dangers growing out of the European
war situation. First the president
took steps to bring about an immedi-
ate completion of the organiaation of
the federal reserve board in orSer
that the new currency law may be-
come effective.
Secretary McAdoo. expressing ap-
proval of the closing of the stock ex-
changes throughout the country, is
sued a statement announcing that a
S:>00.000.0t)0 issue of emergency cur-
rency waiting at the treasury depart-
ment would be made available Imme-
diately to the national banks
To make more easily accesaible this
half billion of emergency currency
authorized by the Aldrich-Vreeland
act. the senate late in the day, at the
suggestion of Mr. McAdoo, unani-
mously passed an amendment to the
currency law modifying the clause
providing that any bank of a national
currency association in order to avail
itself of the issue might have out-
standing currency notes "secured by
bonds of the United States to an
amount not less than 40 per cent of
Its capital."
The amendment, which will be pass-
ed by the house tomorrow, will give
the secretary of the treasury author-
ity In his discretion to Ignore this re-
striction.
The Tango in Church.
Mother, like countless other moth-
ers, had been doing much tangoing
an.l hesitating of late. She had taken
dancing lessons. She practiced the
various steps at home with father. Lit-
tle Frances had heard much of the
lingo that goes with the tango, and the
hesitation She knew all of the
phrases.
A few days ago Frances went to
chtirch with her mother. Frances Lad
not learned all of the ceremonials of
this church for, after the mother knelt
outside the pew, Frances looked up at
her and whispered:
"Mother, what did you do the dip
for?"—Indianapolis News.
ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED
R. F. D. No. 4, Box 65, Holland,
Mich.—"My child's trouble began by
getting red and sore around her neck,
and her face, behind her ears, under
her arms, and different parts of her
body were affected. Th,e eczema ap
peared in a rash first It was wet
and looked as if it was sweaty. It
seemed to itch and burn so that she
could not sleep or rest It got so bad
at last that behind her ears was one
crust or sore so that I had to cut her
hair. There was a hard crust cover-
ing her neck. 8he could, not have her
clothes buttoned at all. I could hardly
change her clothes. It caueed an aw
ful dlflgurement for the time. , She
would cry when I had to wash her.
"We had her treated for some time
but without success. I got one cake
of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cutl-
cura Ointment and I had not used
more than half of what I bought when
she was all cured." (Signed) Mrs. O.

Long-Lived Family.
The record for longevity is held by
the Garrett family of Stranraer, Scot-
land, the oldest member of which, Mr.
James Garrett, has Just passed away.
Mr. Garrett claimed to be the oldest
fisherman In Scotland. A native of
Stranraer, he was almost a hundred
years old. His mother and father,
who were also natives of the district,
lived until they were one hundred and
one hundred and three yearB respec-
tively. His oldest surviving son to
now well over seventy years of age.
NO POSITION TO PREACH
Stranger Lost the Confidence of Truth-
ful Fishermen When He Made
His Inquiry.
Representative Frank Clark, Rep-
resentative Howard of Georgia, and
Superintendent George W. Hess of
the botanic gardens, were having a
friendly argument at Washington.
"Howard," said Clark, banterlugly.
"I Just want to Illustrate to you in
a story how little you know about
this. There Is in my district in Flor-
ida an attractive village named Cal-
lahan.
"One day a stranger walking along
a road In the country near a creek
saw a youth fishing.
" 'Young man,' said the ministerial
looking individual, can you tell me
the way to Callahan?'
" 'Yes.' replied the boy, 'take the
first road to your right.'
"Instead of proceeding on his Jour-
ney. the stranger gazed intently at
the boy a few moments and said: 'My
young friend don't you know you
are wasting your time in a way that
is dreadful to contemplate? You are
fishing, Just fishing, when you ought
to be a-studyin' of books to prepare
yourself for life's struggle. My boy.
you're sure on the road to perdition.'
" Road to perdition,' replied the In-
dignant youth. 'What In blazes do
you know about roads? You don't
even know the road to Callahan.""
Snakes Got His Roll.
"I lost 9325 trying to kill rattle-
snakes, and now I am going to walk
back to my home In Brooklyn." ex-
plained a man about forty-five year*
old, who said he is Ezra Sellen.
Sellen said he started for a walk
from his boarding place, encountered
a lot of rattlesnakes, killed some, fled
from the others, waded a stream, and
then missed hla roll of bills. He said
he had Just money enough left to ride
to this city and took the state road
out of town.—Mlddletown <N. T.) Dis-

Abeurd Comment.
Theodore Dreiser, the realist, said
of an idealist at the Players' club in
New York:
"The man's comments on life are
ludicrous and absurd. They remind me
of the old lady's comment on the work
of the militant suffragettes.
"After the suffragettes in London
had Blaehed a Valesquez, a Bellini and
a Gentile, the old lady said, with a
kind of saintly expression.
" 'But, thank goodness, they're all
old pictures that are being slashed.'"
Outspoken.
Mrs. Smith's four Bons made the life
of her old colored servant a burden.
One day Uncle Andy was busy in the
garden, hoeing corn, and for half an
hour Tom, the most mischievous of the
quartette had amused himself throwing
clods or dirt at him. At last Andy
threw down his hoe and stamped indig-
nantly down to the house.
"Miss Ella." he said to the little cul
prlt's mother, "Ah Jes' has to tell yu
dat dat boy Tawm am de meanes' chile
yu got—an' Ah tells yu fo' yo' face
and tells you behine yo' back!"

More than fifty per cent of all fires
are caueed by simple carelessneBs,
which is unnecessary and criminal.
Repairs to dilapidated buildings, the
removal of all fire breeding material,

the placing of engines at a safe dis-
