CORNSTALK MILITIA.
How a Maryland Patriot Guarded His
Property from Raiding Bedcoats.
‘During the exciting times of the
American Revolution the
Shore, while many were. true patriots
and thoroughly believed in and upheld
the cause of American liberty, was yet
a hotbed for Tories, who as firmly de-
fended whet they believed to be the
rights of the King. The region known
as the Seaside was particularly well
inpplied with the adherents of George
I . '
A (greatgrandfather of George W.
Purnell, now a. prominent member of
the bar of this circuit, was a stench de-
fender of American independence and
a commissioned officer in the militia,
but owing to the depredations so fre-
quently being committed along the sea-
side and about his own home, known as
the Fairfield Farm, it became necessary
for him to remain there to protect his
property.
The Tories about the country acted as
pilots for the British soldiers, who fre-
quently came in boats through the in-
let at Chinocotea-gue and up the Syne-
puxent Bay, the prosperous farms along
the shore offering an excellent field for
their raids. For" the most part these
. farms were entirely unprotected, and
the local Tories would guide the soldiers
to those hOuses where they would prob-
ably get the most booty.
It is told of Mr. Purnell that early
one morning, while looking over his
farm and standing on a hill which
commanded a view of the bay, he saw
several boat loads of redcoats making
their way toward his own shore. He
went to his house and Summoned a
dozen negro men about him and armed
them with long cornstallrs. Mounting
an old gray horse, he marched his bat-
talion down behind the hill, always
keeping out of sight of the approaching
British.
As soon as he reached the foot of the
hill on the inland side he called a. halt
and gave orders to his men. He sta-
tioned himself just at the brow of the
bill, so that the head of his noble
charger could just be seen by the men
on the bay. Then came the order for
ips battalion to march in review. In
an unbroken line around and around
the hill they marched, with their corn—
sralk Inusirets glistening in the sun.
His twelve men made a fine showing.
and the effect upon the raiders was
magical. _

SALVATION CHILDREN.
[low the Little Boos-‘I’Tuckers Are Named
and What they Are Like. _
Commander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker,
the new chiefs of the Salvation Army
in America, have an interesting family
of children. Two of them have already
arrived in New York, and two younger
ones are to follow when the milder
weather of late springtime modifies the
danger of a change of climate. The
fifth child, the boy Bramwell Tancred,
7 weeks old, died after both his parents
had sailed for America. The little ones
left" behind were in charge of stall
captain Carr, who was the faithful and
skillful nurse of the late Mrs. Catherine
,Booth during her long and painful
illness.
The son and heir, the eldest of tin
young Boot -Tuckers, is a. manly little
chap of five summers. He bears an
Indian name in addition to Frederick,
after his father. It, is Kristodas.
which is translated "Servant of
Christ.”
He was born in England just six
months before the death of his famous
grandmother, who almost with her last
breath predicted a. great future for

her favorite daughter, between whom
and herself the ties of affection and
congeniality were peculiarly close and

“Kris” is a bonnv lad, a perfect pic

with a splendidly sat, up physique and a
fair, rosy-checked Ines, lit by dancing
blue eyes and framed in a curly mane

brown in the shade. His brow and nose
and chin are full of expression and
strength. He has the manners of II

THE E VENING' GA-Z'ETT E-_
PHOTOGRAPH‘ING LOVE.
A German \Vith a Wonderful Name Makes
a. Great Discovery.
Love has beenrphotographed.
Not’ifie dainty god, with bow and
quiver, but the actual love which one
human being feels for another of the
opposite sex. All Europe is talking of
the wonder.
It is the result of the discovery of
Jacob von Narkierricz— J odko, a German
scientist and thinker. By his patient
study and experiments he is able to
demonstrate on a photographic plate
whether the passion of love exists be-
tween two human beings.
There are dozens of things that help
prove the facts alleged to be true. It is
shown that when persons are in love
with one another as their hands come
close together electricity radiates from
each, in degree corresponding to the in-
tensity of the affection. Further experi-
ment has shown that under the same
Condition the hands of members of the
same sex exhibit no such electric indi-
cations when in proximity, one to the
other.
It is all so plain, too—this love and
electricity—that any man or woman
Who has felt what in Paris is called
“the grand passion” will immediately
see for themselves the truth of Von
J odko’s claim. Novelists have delighted
to tell of the girl whose “touch thrilled
the man who loved, her so deeply.”
Nothing truer was ever written, and it
goes to show again that truth is stran-
ger than fiction. The thrill certainly
does exist. It is genuine electricity.
' The heart is the dynamo, the nerves
are the wires. Each of the two who
love one another represents an electric
pole. But here is where love differs
from the regular electric methods. Nei-
ther-person need touch the other, for
electricity radiates. Thus the truth
travels from pole to pole.
Often has it been said of_ what is
called love at first sight that when the
two persons most interested met the
electric spark of love seemed to flash
from eye to eye. This has been sup-
posed to be a. metaphor, but in reality
is an indisputable fact.
“I know he loves me,” said a woman
in a recent breach of promise suit,
where undue influence by the defend-
ant’s parents was alleged, "because I
feel an electric thrill when he comes
into the courtroom.”
This new discovery, therefore, ac-
counts for the thrill one feels, whether
man or woman, at the touch of sweet-
heart or husband. It is the token of
affinity—N. Y. Journal. '
GIRLS, DON’T SCORCH.
The Feminine Scorcher is a Wholly Un-
lovely Object.
The feminine scorcher is not an alto-
gether lovely object. Unless she in-
tends to be a. professional she should
leave this form of amusement to men.
A'woman with her back doubled in a
bow knot, her hat awry, her hair dis-
hevelled and her face scarlet with exer-
tion is neither fascinating nor attrac-
tive.
She takes on an anxious, worried look
in her eyes; has her muscles developed
at the expense of her feminine grace and
contact of wind and weather.
Instead of exercise the scorcher in-
vites exhaustion, which is sure to fol-
low in the wake of fast and fatiguing
rides. The woman who has a. passion
for scorching loses half the pleasure of
riding; she rushes along without taking
time to contemplate the beauties of na-
ture; the melting hues of summer sun-
sets, the charms of the smiling land-
scape, are all lost on the inveterate
scorcher, ,whose sole ambition it is to
do so many miles in a. stipulated length
of time; besides, she does not take near
as much care of herself as the trainer
'does of a valuable race horse.
She finally breaks down from sheer
exhaustion and decides that her mission
as a scorcher is finished.—-Godey’s Mag-
azine. '
Such is Fame.
An old colored man who wheels rubs
bish out of alleys in a. southside resi-
dence district considers himself pretty
well known among the people away
from whose back doors he pushes ashes.
One morning recently one of the gen-
tlemen who employs the African stroll-
ed Out into his back yard and spoke fa-
miliarly to him.
“What is your name?” he asked, in
addressing the colored man.
“George Washington,” was the 're-
ply.
"Washington—Washington,” repeat
ed the gentleman; “it seems to me that
I have heard that name before.”
“Guess you have,” rejoined the Afri-
can. “I have been wheeling ashes out
of these alleys for ’bout ten years.”—
Chicago News.
Did Not Want Parole.
James Johnson, a life-time convict in
the Indiana State Prison at Jefferson-
ville, has refused a. parole from the
Governor, saying he is not guilty of
murder, the crime charged, and will ac-
cept nothing less than an unconditional
pardon. He was sentenced in 1893 for
killing Leslie Bell, but claims it was
done in self-defense. It is the only case
on record where a parole was refused
by any prisoner, as it is practically the
same as a pardon.
A Curious Little State.
One of the most curious of thevvest-
pocket States in Europe is Moresnet,
which lies near Aix-la-Chapelle, and has
2,700 citizens. It is claimed by Prussia.
and Belgium. but governed by neither,
though together these nations appoint
the Mayor who rules the little State.
Each man’s taxes are only five shillings
a year, his other burdens light, and his
self-respect resulting fromhis independ-
ence immense. .-
“You have a fine climate here,” said
the visitor ,to a resident. “Such a

“That was ,quite a blow at Chicago
last week?” '
“What was it? Was the page too
small to hold the March estimate of the
population?” '
, “No, you see, it was this way. One
morning they saw what appeared to be
quite a big town just southwest of the”
city, It seemed to lie at somewhat of
an elevation, but they annexed it. Well,
sir, the whole business turned out to be
one of those mirages, probably of St.
Louis, and the blamed thing faded
away -before they could take the cen-
sus. Things looked so blue since then
out in Chicago that you could almost
make indigo out of their _twilight.”—-

The Baby’s Bed.
The blessed baby—should neither, in
winter, nor in summer, be put to sleep
with its elders, but in a crib by itself.
If you can’t afford a crib, suspend a
clothes basket from the ,ceiling. Make
the baby’s bed covers of wool—wool
batting to line comfortables is far and
away superior to cotton, so much light-
er in weight for the warmth rendered.
The best of mothers. and of fathers, are
likely in the tossings of sleep, to injure
a tender infant, so for the comfort and
health of all concerned, give the baby
a bed by itself—but not low down to
the floor, where the bad air settles, af-
ter the style _of the old-time trundle
bed.
