FAME AS WELL AS SHAME IS ARNOLD'S Brave Soldier and Patriot Be-fore Infamous Act of Treachery. Benedict Arnold's treachery occu-pies so much space in Revolutionary history that little attention is given to his bravery. Yet Arnold was brave before he became a traitor. After the battle of Lexington he raised a company of volunteers and marched to Cambridge where he pro-posed an expedition agulnst Fort Tl conderoga. Though commissioned a colonel to head this project, he gave up command to unite with another force. Returning to Cambridge, he was given command of barely 1,000 men to help capture the great strong-hold of Quebec. Arnold fought vali-antly and was wounded In the leg. he was made a brigadier gen-eral. At the head of 800 men, Arnold went to the relief of Fort Schuyler (or Stan-wlx-on the upper Mohawk and played a prominent role In the defeat of Here he was again wounded In the same leg and was Invalided for severnl months. His service brought him command of Philadelphia, where he married the daughter of a Tory, who later became chief Justice of ruiaskrg Burial flace Matter of Controversy There are two stories purporting to describe the death, October 11, 1770, of Count Pulaski, Polish offl-ce- r who aided the Colonies In their fight against the Brlilsh. Both agree that he fell during an engagement at Savannah. Ga., but his whereabouts following his Injury and the subse-quent disposal of his body remain 8 subject for controversy. One of these accounts holds that Pulaski was taken aboord Jh. Unit ed States brig Wasp, his right tliltih being badly wounded by a canister shut. While on the ship, which was unable to proceed out of the Sn vnnnnh river, he died despite the attendance of the most skillful sur geons In. the French tieet. The of-ficer In charge. Colonel Bentalon. found It necessary to consign bis corpse to a watery grave. The other Rtory contends tlwt Pul-aski was carried from the battlefield to Greenwich where he passed away and was buried In a private ceme-tery. His ashes, the story continues, were exhumed 75 jears later and pluced In a special receptacle beside the corner atone or the muniiment which has been erected In Savannah In his Imnor. Del roll News. Saratoga Battle Monument Has an Empty Niche for Arnold's Statue. Pennsylvania. Convicted of shady transactions, he was reprimanded Washington and this was the spark which kindled a desire to betray his country. That, being a familiar part of American history, we need not rehash. In the old chapel . at West Point is a blank plate on which Arnold's name would have been Inscribed had he not become a traitor. The Saratoga bat tie monument erected at Sclmjler-vllle- , N. Y., in 1878, has four niches. Three of them contain statues of Ar nold's comrades before he became a traitor. They are those of Gates. Schuyler and Morgan. The fourth-Inten- ded for Arnold remains empty What a lesson In patriotism I Ii might have been better to bury there the leg of Arnold, which was twice wounded In his service for the cause of liberty. Pathfinder Magazine. Patriots Faced Ban on Liquor - ' and Swearing One of the most Important finds of Revolutionary war records embracing the regimental orders of Col. William Prescott and other commanding off-icers of the Continental army, with headquarters at Cambridge, during the stirring days that Immediately fol-lowed the battle of Bunker Dill has been unearthed by Goodspeed's. This rare document compiled by regimental orderlies outlines with military ac-curacy and tenseness the active alege of Boston from June IS to September 2, 1773, Inclusive. It Is said to be the earliest orderly book of the Continental forces and Its minimum value Is estimated In excess the repeated orders which hath been given to Prevent the flrelng of ye gunnes In ft about the Camp, that It la dally ft hourly Practised." Several skirmishes are recorded, usually followed by court-martia- l for remissness or cowardice, which are noted In the Journal. In the cemp regulations for officers noted under the" dute of July 1, the latter are In structed to: "Particularly to see to it that the troops have straw to lie on If to be had & to make It known If they are destitute." July 0, " . . . the Cioothlng fur-nished by the Massachusetts Coinra'ee of supply for those men of their Gov-ernment which I.ost their Cloaths In ye late Action at Bunkers hill to be to the most needy and Neces satous men of Each RlgrnV Showt 47 Dead. July 8, Colonel Prescott's regimental return shows 47 dead, one discharged. of f 1,000. It was discovered In an old bouse in Pepperell and Its authen-ticity Is beyond question, according to experts who have made a careful ex-amination of the treasure. The manuscript contains 64 pages written In a clear, legible style and is remarkable as an eloquent source and Immediate picture of the colonial army as It was when Washington first as-sumed command. Cursing Banned. Orders were Issued to the army In embryo that profane cursing and swearing would not be tolerated, and drunkenness was banned. Court-martial- s are recorded for various defec-tions, Including cowardice and deser-tion and bounty jumping. Washing-ton's first orders to his newly assumed command are dutifully recorded also. In these and other disciplinary or-ders, officers were pointedly told lhat their conduct should set a good ex-ample for the soldiery. There were ten companies in the regiment and a monthly record was kept of all cas-ualties and hospitalization cases, also fllaphnrftoa onH Atillattnanta Each dally entry Is headed. "Cam-bridge, headquarters." then follows the date with the password and coun-tersign, the name of the officer of the day, and then the orders follow. Each entry Is signed by either the adjutant or the orderly. The Journal opens with general or ders regarding the posting of pickets, on June IS, the day on which congress Invested Washington with the coin- - mission of commander In chief. Prep-arations for the epochal battle of Bun-ker Hill are hinted at and then comes a significant blank on June 10, the day the regiment moved to give battle to General Gage's redcoats. Gives Password. The date, June 10, appears, but no orders are Inscribed and the day next recorded Is June 20, three days after the engagement which welded the Con-tinental army as nothing else had been able. One June 21) the Journal records the password as "Washington," while the countersign Is "Virginia." This was five dayg after word had been re-ceived by General Ward at Cambridge of Washington's appointment July 2, Washington arrived at Cam- - bridge to take command of the armies. tgV and one of the first manifestations of his presence Is revealed In the order-ly's entry of July 7, containing general orders Issued by him extending nearly fo'ir pages and expressing the com-mander's chagrin at certain unpleas-ant happenings. Washington Annoyed. Washington approved on this duy. according to the entry, the verdict of a general court-marti- which sen-tenced an officer to be cashiered for cowardice, repressing his chagrin as a result of this situation he proceeds to define measures for the elimination of treacherous sentries and bounty Jumpers. Washington's Indignation at the low supply of ainiminitiou and the seem-ingly wasteful pastime of firing guns for no reason brought another order from the commander in chief on Ao gust 4. which reads: "It Is with Indignation ft shame, the General observes that notwithstanding Pretty Sentiment Had No Weight With Judges Senator Edge said at Atlantic City the other day: "I see by the papers that they have cut out beauty competitions down here. A good thing, too. "What lots of queer competitions thero are nowadays 1 They had competition In Tamaqua last month for the most beautiful thing In the world a description In a sentence of the most beautiful thing In the world. "Everybody thought that the preach-er would win the grand prize, for his description was: "'My mother's eyes,' "But the president of the chamber of commerce won with: "The most beautiful thing In the world Is to see a man carry his mother-in- -law across a deep and dangerous stream without trying to drop her In.'" Detroit Free Press. Sees Dire Possibility of Bird Campaigning Picking "offlelul" things Is getting to be a nuisance. In the opinion of George Martin, editor of Farm and Fireside. The recent drive of women's clubs to select an "official" bird for each state brought out his comment "We are a little doubtful over the ivlsdom of this," he writes. "As It Is the birds are rather a democratic lot If any one bird, the meadow-lark- , the peewee, the Kngllsh sparrow or the turkey buzzard should he singled out for official distinction. It might easily become Intolerably overbearing. Also, If the birds get onto this movement, we may face the unpleasant project of a political campaign for the honor, with all the broadcasting and wire-pulling that would involve. Imagine having every snipe and woodpecker pestering us for votes 1 "Our hope is that nobody thinks up s scheme for the election of an official worm for each state." Bobby's Defease "I've a notion to spank you for that," said Bobby's mother as she watched him crush a worm under his foot. , "Well, mother, that's the only way 1 could keep that bird from glttin' It I gave the worm a chance to get away, but It wouldn't go. I told It to hide, but It wouldn't listen to notbln' I said," was Bobby's defense.

So declared the preacher of the Buchau church, re-cently. He announced from the pul-pit that a spirit appeared to him and explained about the weather and the dresses. His pious congregation ac-cepted this Interpretation of the phfr nonienon, and on leaving the church after the services set upon four girls whose dresses were particularly ab-breviated, severely heating them until the police rescued the girls.
