BARTON T IS by no means an un- - g talc of a brave little mother who was deathly afraid of guns, but afraid of nothing at all when corporation hirelings tried to grab a piece of her home, is the Battle of Monmouth all over again. You remember, or do you, how in that important engagement at Freehold, N. J.t away back on June 28, 1778, Molly Pitcher took the place of her husband, John C. Hays, an artilleryman, after he was wounded, and served his gun, thus preventing its capture by the British. That's a yarn that American gets a kick out of every time he every suul-stirrin- of his own age. In many of these cases the mother speaks of 'day - dreaming' spells. Others will complain that for longer or shorter periods the child will sit with a preoccupied manner, often staring vacantly Into space and possibly grimacing or smiling to himself when he is supposed to be doing some task or supposed to be reading or even listening to the radio. When spoken to the child gives a start before answering. The child seems to prefer sit ting alone rather than taking part in the activity of other children." I am quoting Dr. H. R. Brillinger, ed proof, read how Mrs. Doolin, whipped a rather highhanded corporation that icemcd to be trying to put over a fact one. Not long after a railroad came through the village of Lrmont, where the Doolina had their home, there were a number of accident on a sharp curve close to the Doolin property. The company wanted to straighten the line by putting it across the Doolin yard. Surveyors staked out the new right of way; workers appeared and began digging. John Doolin ordered them off. Then he took the first train to Chicago and there consulted his good friend. Attorney Alexander Sullivan. d, (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Horse Sense Ulysses, famed Grecian warrior In the battle with the Trojans, at first didn't want to go to war, according to legend. Pretending madness, he put on a fisherman's hat, yoked horses and started to plow up the ground. His trick was uncovered when he turned the horses sside as he saw his infant son lying on the ground in front of the plow. Honoring Veterans The custom of firing three volleys over the grave of a deceased veteran is derived from the old Roman custom of casting earth over the coffin, calling the dead by name three times and then saying "Vale" three times. The word "vale" is the Latin word for farewell. The firing of three volleys in etiiiivnlent to saying farewell to the deceased. nicest kind of street suit.

Sometimes the child's surroundings, or circumstances, give' it an inferiority complex and in daydreaming it makes up for this In its own mind. Sometimes there may be some slight defect in hearing, vision or personal appearance that the child tries to overcome by imagining itself to be absolutely free of all defects. There are some cases where infectionteeth or tonsils is lowering its "fighting" forces. Dr. Brillinger states that is normal, but it readily becomes abnormal, which is a sign of early mental illness.

The policeman had taken him before a Justice of the peace, but no one in the courtroom was willing to prosec ute him. He thought he understood why he had been taken away on a charge no one would press when Mrs. Doolin told him the men had been back. But when she told him how she had pointed the shotgun at them and really Intended to pull the trigger, he felt a little faint. For that old gun was loaded! Well, there was one thing about the corporation, it always knew when it was licked. The very next morning the worries of the Doolin family were over. Right after breakfast two suave lawyers called to say how sorry they were it had happened. There had been mistake. The company was willing to pay a good price for the land.

But, he continued (and here's the catch), if the company succeeded in erecting the poles and stringing Then one bully, who appeared to be the foreman, ordered: "Come on, guys, let's go up and take it away from her." Mrs. Doolin leaned little farther out of the window and lifted the rusty shotgun. "The first man who takes a step toward my house gets shot," she called. "Now all of you drop your tools or I'll start shooting." And boys and girls, Mrs. Doolin meant exactly what she said. She was a determined mother, protecting her home and babies In the absence of her husband. Of course, she thought the gun wasn't loaded, but her finger was on the trigger and she was all set to pull it if any one of those men made a move In the direction of the house. But their tools went down. The workmen sensed this was real drama, not a comedy, and they became sober. One spoke up to say the company had sent them there to rush up a couple of poles. Plucky Mrs. Doolin then explained to them that they were on her property, that the company had not asked permission to use it nor offered to pay for it Well, air, when those men got the low down on the proposition they took off their hats and cheered. "Yon win, lady, you're a game guy," they told her. "We aren't doing any more digging until yon get a square deal." With that they picked up their tools and went to town. Mrs. Doolin had won her battle, but would the men be back tomorrow? Would the company have her arrested for threatening its workmen?

It is mighty comforting, I want to tell you, to know there are Molly Pitchers in every generation, stepping forward fearlessly to take the places of their men when necessary. Just such a woman is today's distinguished adventurer. Meet Mrs. John Doolin, of Lemont, 111., who did a good job at writing her story, one that makes you feel all warm and proud of our womanhood. They call women the weaker sex. O yeah? Just put their backs to the wall. If you want the the power wire, the only thing Doolin could do would be to go to court John Doolin didn't have any money to pay for long years of litigation so he beat it for home, resolved to keep the company off his premises. There, sticking np in the lawn, was a nice new pole that had been put np while he was in the rity. John sawed the pole half way through. Then he borrowed a rifle and ammunition from a neighbor. A few days later, on a bright June morning in 1903, a policeman appeared with a warrant charging John Doolin with destroying public property. John marched away with the law. leaving three children crying, a wife on the verge of it No sooner was John Doolin out of sight than a crew of workmen swarmed on the place and began digging so furiously you would think they were being paid a dollar a shovelfull. Was little Mrs. Doolin going to let them get away with it? Up to the attie she hurried. There, forgetting she shivered at the very sight of a firearm, she took from the wall a shotgun that had hung undisturbed for many years. With her children clinging to her and crying again, she pened the window shutters, and rested the ancient fowling piece n the sill. Then, in a cold fury, she called down to the working men: "Throw down your tools or I'll shoot!" They stopped working and began to kid her.

It was stated by some who thought they knew that this physician called all heavy colds pneumonia and as practically all cold cases recover anyway, this was the real reason that he was so successful in the treatment of pneumonia. My own opinion is that this physician knew that if he told the patient that he "just had a cold," he would want to be up and about in a day or two, which would not only mean that the cold would "hang on" but might bring on broncho-pneumonor pneumonia. In other words, the physician thought it wise to "scare" the patient to prevent complications. Now that blood pressure is so much discussed, some physicians, if blood pressure is high, try to "scare" their patients into living a "quiet" life, rightly stating that a quiet life may double their years on earth. I believe it will be agreed that this may be just the proper advice in some cases; if some patients were allowed to live their own lives they would overwork, overeat, and get overexcited. Dr. Henry M. Thomas Jr., Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, in the Baltimore number of Medical Clinics of North America, states: Scare Into Being Good. "It is true that some individuals must be scared into being good, but among the high pressure group these are few and far between. Many, many more need reassurance, and this comes in the form of optimistic explanation of the cause of high blood pressure. Most patients want to know the actual figures; if the reading is a couple of points above or below the last reading they are relieved or distressed accordingly."
