Of five 99 Oak Street. ASHLAND. OREGON. The lust battle of the Revolution was not at Yorktown, nor was it any of the muny 'small "skirmishes that occurred after the surrender of. Coniwullis and before the formal declaration of peace in 17S3. The last buttle whs of the na ture of a duel, and it happened on the day the British evacuated New York. The great day that was to see the last of King George lll.'s regiments leave these shores finally arrived. The British army wan to board the ships that lay in the harbor. Washington and his troops were waiting at Kings- bridge and McCJowan's pass to take possession of the city iiiiinedately on their departure. Major WlHiam Cunningham, the British provost marshal and command er of the prison on the common, gave one last look about his office, tossed the key on the table and went out Into the sunlight, slamming the door behind him ill much unnecessary violence. infamous reigu was over, There were few forms or. cruel ty that he had hesitated to practice on the luckless Continental prisoners In his charge. Among the mildest were the contamination of their drinking water by throwing rubbish Into the well and the appropriation and sale of their rations for his own profit. The friends and relatives of his vic tims were flocking back to the city tri umphant, and it behooved Major Cun ningham not to linger. So he left the prison, turned Into the common, and crossed It to gain Broadway. He strode along muttering curses under bis breath. At the curlier of Broad way and Murray street something caught his eye. lie stopped, hesitated, then turned aside and hastened down Murray street. "What audacity: What monstrous audacity!" he thought. But It was like that rebel spitfire. Mistress Day. He would teach her one final lesson. He reached the Day house, which was a tavern near Greenwich street, opened the gate and shook his fist at the Stars and Stripes that fluttered from a tall flagpole, as If waving n triumphant welcome to the Continental troops. Wrafhfully be seized the halyards and begun to pull the flag down tb- pole. There was something about the action that soothed his ruttled feelings. He would at least take back to Eug land with him one captured rebel ban ner. But he bad reckoned without Mistress Day! From her kitchen that patriotic wo mnn heard the creaking of the pulley on her flagstaff. She tiptoed to her front windows and peeped out She knew the major only too well, and she determined to prevent this final out rage, sue new iiacn 10 me kiu-ueu anu seized her broom. lu the meantime, with his hack to the bouse, the major was hauling away vigorously. A few more Jerks and the flag would lie within bis grasp. Baug! ills hat suddenly flew off and went scuttling down the yard. In his as tonisbment he continued to pull me chanically on the halyards. Bang, whack! The major saw many times more than thirteen stars, and the pow der flew from bis wig lu all directions He dropped the rope and turned about. purple with Indignation. Wouiuu, do you realize what you are doing?" he roared. The broom stick was In the air again, and the major dodged. Whack! It struck him squarely across the bridge of his nose, and the field ut once became ensan gulned. The bleeding 'officer now began to take hasty counsel with blinkelf. He was late for the embarkation, the American troops would soon be upon the ground, his hat bad received an Ir reparable dent, his wig was In the wildest disorder, his regimentals were stained with marks of the bloody af- frav,' his head was yet spinning from contact with Mistress Day's weapon, oud there were unmistakable signs A HISTORIC BELL From the Guerriere to the Constitution, Then to a Mill. One would hardly expect to find an object of historic Interest lu so pro Rale a place as a New England mill an object older than the oldest title of the English peerage, an object made before the English parliament was lormed. Yet such an object is In dally use in u factory at Saylesvlllc, R. I. It is a bell, whose history Is a most In- i terestlng one. Around the bell, about j four inches from the crown. Is this su- j perscrtptkm: "Peter Secest Amsterdam, i Anno me fecit." j The date, together with other well ; authenticated facts, leads to the belief j that the bell was long used in a cou- j vent belfry in England and was taken therefrom for public use during the leformutlnn. But the connecting link between irs life In the old world and its advent to America is the famous Ciiiiifl: all the Guerriere i naval battle between and the Constitution. The Guerriere, a helpless wreck, was j rolling in the trough of the sea. while j her brave but defeated commander. 1 Captain Dacres of the royal navy, on i the deck of the American frigate, the j Constitution, was offering his sword to j gallant Captain Hull. i The two officers had been friends in time of peace, having often exchanged hospitalities at the Mediterranean I ports, and now Hull's magnanimity ! Rhone out. "I'll not take your sword. Dacres," Bald be. "Keep it." j In the meanwhile the boats of the 1 Constitution were busily engaged In transporting the crew of the defeated ship to the deck of the victor. A mid- shipman reported to the first lieuten ant that the ship's bell had been car ried away by a grapeshot from the Guerriere and that there was no way of announcing the time to the ship's company. At that moment the Guerriere gave a succession of heavy plunges, and the clear tones of a tine bell rung over the water. Go get the Englishman's bell," said the lieutenant to the midshipman. "There will be no further use for It ou board that craft." The Guerriere surrendered at 7 o'clock in the evening of Aug. 10, 1812. and at 8 o'clock the same evening Pe ter Secest's lell in sonorous tones rang out the hour ou board "Old Ironsides." With the lapse of time the bell, amid the confusion and debris common to a great navy yard, became misplaced. lost its Identity and was thrust, care lessly to one side. It found Its way to the scrap heap, was afterward sold by the United States and finally came to rest In its present quarters. Boston Post AN ANIMAL- IN PAIN.

It Suffers Lets Than Man an Account of t Low Intelligence. It Is a platitude that "pain is as one feels it" But that statement falls a considerable way short of the truth. The measure of pain undoubtedly de pends ns much uon realization, com parison and constructive memory as upon sensation, in other words, the individual with the most highly devel oped Imagination enjoys and suffers most intensely, though not perhaps most violently. Pain and death are I terrible In proorlion as one is capable of relating theto to experience. To children they are not terrible In this J sense, because children have small experience and even smaller powers I of Imagining relations. i In the esse of animals the power of constructing a memory picture and re- i laling the same to present conditions la proltably exceedingly low, If not en tirely absent Pain to an animal rep resents an unpleasant experience begun and ended sharply. It Is un related. It has no social or moral sig nificance. H Is not terrible In the wide sense. An animsL lives rroin moment , to moment At any given moment Its j happiness Is n question In the main of j physical comfort. The caged skylark (though It must not be supposed thnt I this Is any defense of an objectionable ' practice) experiences none of the ; misery of the caged num. It does not ' know that Its lllierty Is hopelessly lost, i It cannot relate Its present position 1 to past experience In the way In which j a prisoner can and must do. The cage j Is merely an accidental obstruction j which may at any moment disappear. Should the bird stop titruggling it docs so because struggling is unpleasant.
