mo tell tho tale
Mv father oft told
JL V A story of the days
when palo
Hope fled und misery
Dtood stark and urlm before that band
Of men beyond compare
The tale of Washington the grand.
Who crossed the Delaware!
One Christmas nlRht. long years ago.
When shrilly cold winds blew
And through the darkened air the snow
On frozen plnloni flow
A little band of patriot souls
Stood bravo and fearless wlar
In Iclncss and anger rolls
The fretful Delaware.
Hiizr:
Nor Ice. nor storm nor cruel blast
Can hold these heroes back:
They have rrsolved thedlo Is enst
For freedom's cause! A track
Of blood upon the snow they've left
From shoeless feet and bare;
Of all lift's comforts they'ie bereft.
Beside tho Delaware.
But "Onward! Onward!" Is the word
Their bravo commander speaks.
When thro' the storm his voice Is heard
Knell uon of freedom seeks
To do his bidding; put asldo
Is every wo; and care
There's vlct'ry o'er the Icy tide.
Across the Delaware.
On through the gloomy stormy nlcM
With hardships dlro they -ope
"For Ood and native land and rlghtl"
Their watchword and their hope;
Until at last all cold nnd dark
Thry greet the morning glare;
Safe thro' tho tide they've reached the
bank
Across tho Delaware.
And then nine miles beyond they go.
With steadv solemn tread
' To whero thn hated Hessian fos
Bleep In their drunken bed.
Aroused from dissipation's doze
In wild surprise they staro.
And conquered give their swords to
those
Who crossed tho Delaware.
This children. Is the story truo
Of noble fearless men;
And may Its lesson be to you
A guide and solace when
Storms hover noir my brave grandson
And you. granddaughter fair-
Press onward till tho vlct'ry's won
Across Life s Delaware.

vvngon hnd urenked out of slffht Wnsh
was squatted beside his sister Indus
triously sl ulllng her with the big bis
cult that had been provided for her re
ticsliinent.
Aunt June Knilng Into the county
town In oil the grandeur of her own
turnout soon forgot ull about the chil-
dren In the ctibln tit home Ucorge
Washington uns to be relied upon she
l.ticw anil so she gnve hcrbelf no further
uneasiness on the subject.
Aunt June nlvvnyn went to town In
Htyle. The big basket went nlong for
style too for Aunt June vvna not neg
lectful of her reputation which wns
Inrge rttnohg her ncqunlntnuce. The
curious otd bonnet bobbed many n mild
"good mottling" as the old mule jogged
along the law's or the white turnpike.
As she n cared the town however the
bows became less cordial and a trllle
just a trifle condescending. The rea-
son wns soon mnde known to the white
mule.
"Dese trifling town niggers!" she
muttered. "Uey-nll 'ud ruthcrlny nbout

ler go ler the country whnr dey's plen-
ty tcr eut and drink too. l)e lazy lot

Aunt .June wns a thrifty soul us was
Uncle Jake her "olemun." There were
teen io u ml s of fresh yellow butter In
the tin a 1 1 nt her feet in exchange for
w hleli she would bring many a comfort
to the cabin that she and Jake hnd
bought with their own savings; the
deed of It was safely registered in the
clerk's olllce in town.
Aunt June mow led grunted mid then
Mglied for the less fortunutc ones of
1 cr race; Init'oi she snid the town negro
had no love (or the quiet country life
that hud been her prosperity.
The wagon had passed through the
lust tollgutc when Aunt June spied nu
rrqualuttincc among some workmen
who were repairing a bridge ocr which
her leuni must jinss. bbe pulled up the
posed Aunt Juno had merely disputed
the question In order to piovc hcrpclf
not Inching In the general knowledge
of tho day. Hut when sho ntntt.il. 'ni
n clincher" hesnld nfterwnrd. that she
"wns there" the joke became so funny
that he could not contnln himself.
Aunt June gathered up her lines and
clucked to the white mule "(lit up
durl" she exclaimed. "Yoti's glttlng cz
lazy ez une of dese here town nlgg-jrs;
dnt you Is."
The mule started off rather briskly
but not too briskly to let Aunt Juno
hear the parting shot from the bridge;
"Look out folkses; look out. Dnr
goes de ol'est 'oman In tie wor) look
nt her well. You uln' gwlnc nebber
had no seeh chance ler see sech n olu
'omnn agin in dlsworl' Ue ol'est 'oman
in de worl' cf de troof wuz nil told."'
Aunt June's anger hntl cooled some
what when she reached the storo at
which she did Iter trailing. The but-
ter was weighed and she began select-
ing supplies in exchange for It. If dic
was slow the merchant was patient:
for Aunt Juno's butter wns of the best
and there wns always a demntid for It.
There were 40 cents to be traded out
when tho town clock in the courthouse
steeple struck 12.
"Lor mnrstcr" she declared "I'm
bleeped tcr g'long back home. Hit
nm twelbe ercloek ami tie chlllcn din'

come bnek and finish ter-morrcr."
"You'll have to get through to-day.
Aunt June" said the merchant. "The
store 'will be closed to-morrow; it Is
George Washington's birthday."
Aunt Juno dropped the hank of yel-
low ynm 3he had been lingering for
sonic minutes. "Mnrster." she ex-
claimed "who tole you tint?"
"Who told me? Why 1 don't know.
Everybody knows thnt; It is in nil the
papers."
The black face wore n puzzled c.v-
ptessioti. "Ycr don' sesso."
"Why yes" btiitl the merchant smil-
ing "why shouldn't It be? We nil love

hoy at that moment reluctantly making'
his way to the cabin from the direction
of the "spring brunch" that skit ted the
Held in the low ground
"Come 'long here suhl Don' you bee

George Washington obeyed reluctant-
ly however; ioi it was the season of the
year when trout were biting. The
fimnll rod and bucket that he carried
told silently the story of an inter-
rupted minnow excursion preparatory
to a dny's llslilng In Duck river.
ills mother wore her best dress a
bright magenta nkirt und a brown
worsted waist; a bonnet df curious
nhnpe ami colors and a pair of very
white home-knit gloves. A long
brown barege veil flouted majestically
from the bows und blossoms of her bon-
net. A large market-basket and it tin
bucket covered witfi a clean white clot li
stood on the doorstep; u cray little
cart with it white mule nodding between
Ihe shafts waited at the gute. In lieu
cf leather reins a white cotton rope
passed from the bridle bit to the seat
upon which Aunt June was preparing
to mount.
"1 ycr goln ter town mammy?"
raid George Washington with a rue-
ful glance In tbc ditection of the wait-
ing vvtigon. 11 is black luce expressed
better than words his heart's disap-
pointment tit the unexpected disarrang-

And for tho life of her she couldn't
help saying it just as the people In town
had unitl It: ns something thnt every-
body ought to know Whether these
knew or not the wns not able to divine
since the same reply met her at each
repetition of the announcement: "Yes-
sum." She wns plunnlng n great feast; she
meant to make n enke and stutT It with
raisins. "He ain' no onery nigger tint
boy nln't" said she as the white mule
plodded patiently homevvnrd.
Little Wash couldn't understand
his sudden rise to greatness though
he very cheerfully washed the pota-
toes killed raid picked the hen
r.nd was told that hu might beat the
whiles Tor n cake the next day.
"A cake fur yo btifdny dinner son"
his mother told him.
That night when his father camr
home Aunt June asked him If he
couldn't get off from his work next day
and cat dinner nt home.

a jerk:
"What dat you say? Hit's whose buf-

grandeur of enllghtener. "Hit nm de

"What dat you saying?" demanded
Aunt June uncertain whether to take
the man seriously nnd be angry or
whether to laugh at him for n joker.
The man grinned and patted tho
white mule's back. "Yessuin bit nm

"Shet upl You reckin I don't know

"1 heerd it ober in town" said the
negro.
"Des listen at dat will somebody?"
cried Aunt June. "What town goiter

The negro broke into a laugh
"Well" said he "it am de sho' fac'. Dey

that his fellow-workmen looked from
their work to smile encouragingly nnd
wonder what bad tickled him so. Hu

She finished her trading and went
out to nrrangc her packages in the
cart; sho was puzzled; she didn't nt all
understand what it all meant; yet I lien:
was a pleasant something nbout It too.
"Dat chile sholy been and done some-
thing and not let on ter we-nlls his
pappy and me" was her thought. Then
In her honest old heart she felt u twinge
of regret for her anger at the bridge:
blie wondered if the old negro could
have been right after all.
"Hut naw" she mused "hit couldn't

At that instant a gentleman to whom
the woman and htr team were familiar
passing at the moment called out pleas-
antly to her:
"Hello Aunt June! Mustbegolng to
celebrate George Washington's birthday
from the number of your packngeH.

There it wns again George Washing-
ton's birthday; he heard it every-
where. Tho very banks would be
closed she heard somebody Bay; and
the post olllce would be open but an

Washington's birthday.
To bo perfectly sure about it how-
ever bhe determined to step around to
"Mane Tom's olllce" and ask about It.
Mnrse Tom was once her husband's old
master and he would be pretty sure to
tell her the truth.
"Murse Tom" said she thrusting her
head in a moment at the door "what nm
de iucaslon ob all de incitement in de
town ter-morrer?"
"It is George Washington's blrthdny
Aunt June. Come in and get warm"
said the master without looking up
from the paper he was busily prepar-
ing for the court that would convene
tho next week. Hut Aunt Juno was
gone; she went straight back to the
grocery.
"Cf dey's all dctarmlnt tcr hnb it fo

bridge to find the workman gone
"1 don' want hear uo more of that nig-

She made several convenient stops on
the way home however and each

ACOUT DRINKING WATER.
No Invariable Hutu us to the IJnautltj
l'tiople bliould Cotuuuio.
According to Prof. Allen we should
drink from one-third to two-fifths as
many ounces as we weigh in pounds.
Therefore for a man weighing 1CS
pounds there would be required 50 to
C4 ounces daily or from one nnd one-
half to four pints. This the Journal of
Hygiene regards as a very indefinite un-
svvcr. The amount of water required
depends on the season of the year the
amount of work douu and the krihd of
food eaten. In hot weather we require
more than In cold because of the great-
er loss through the skin though this is
in part made up by the lesser amount
passed away through the kidneys. If u
man labors very hard be requires more
than If his labor Is light. A man work-
ing In a foundry where the tempera-
ture is high nnd the perspiration pro-
fuse not Infrequently drinks three or
four gallons daily. If the food Is stim-
ulating and salty more watnr Is re-
quired than If it Is bland. Vegetarians
nnd those who use much fruit require
less water than those who cat salt fish
and pork and often get nlong on none
except what is in their food. In most
cases our Instinct tells us how much wa-
ter to drink far better than any hard or
fixed rule. For ages they have been ac-
quiring a knowledge of how much to
drink nnd transmitting that knowl-
edge to descendants and if we follow
them we shall not go fur out of the wny.
It is of more use to us to know that pure
water Is essentlul and that Impure wu-
ter is one of the most dangerous of
drinks than to know how much of it Is
required dally. If one lives In n region
where tlie water Is bad. It should be
boiled nnd put nwny In bottles well
corked in an ice chest nnd In addition
one should eat all the fruit one can 11

pure water but salts which are needed
to carry on healthfully the functions ol
