FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1912, NOT CAPT. O'BRIEN'S DEED " | SCOOP [HE cus Amusing Reminiscence Concerning thy Capture of the British Sloop Margaretta in 1775. In the town of Machias, in eastery Maine, where on May 11, 1775, too} the “Lexington of the seas 1 capture of the British sloop Mar garetta by the townspeople undej 'eommand of Capt. Jeremiah O'Brien, ¢ e newspaper called the Basters| was printed for a year or two, be | ginning in 1814. From a single copy preserved through all these years ir| & Maine family is here reprinted for the first time & reminiscence of the editor concerning the redoubtabls ‘O’'Brien, who, after the Margaretta’s capture, became the terror of the seas to the British in the provinces: “To give some idea of the estima ton in which O’Brien was held by thy inhabitants of the British provines during the Revolutiokary war, we wil relate an anecdote which was told t¢ us by a respectable gentleman in th¢ province of New Brunswick: A loya'| Bcotch pair, somewhat advanced it life, were called on by one of theh melghbors, who related to the ‘gudt goon’ an account of a great destructiox of shipping in the Island of Jamaicy by a hurricane. The ‘gude auld wifey, ‘whose hearing was somewhat Im paired, caught the sound of ‘destruc ticn of shipping,’ in the course of thy oonversation between her husband an{ ‘the neighbor. ‘Destruction of shipping ‘at that day was closely associated wit} ‘the name Jeremizh O’Brien, and thg wold lady, in broad Scotch, which wi¢ ~will not attempt to imitate, innocently nterrupted the conversation and ask .d: that? “The husband indignantly replied: ““No, it was a far mor¢ powerful hand; it was God Al mighty.’ ” EFFEMINATE STYLE FOR MEN London Society Men Wear Almost as Much Jeweiry as Women of Fashion, The society men of London are rap $dly reaching an astonishing degree of effeminate foppishness, says the New York American. They now wear almost as much Jewelry as any fashionably dressed woman. Their money is carried in small chain purses of fine gold mesh. Their necks are encircled with the softest silk collars, held together by brooches ornamented with a single pearl or twisted into a love knot. One arm is fettered with a wrist watch, the other with a delicately engraved gold bangle. Gold locket pendants, ‘worn- round the neck, are also becom: ing poputar. Gold knobbed sticks, chased and em- bossed, are considered a necessity; and, carried with a certain mincing air, always attract attention. The first finger of one hand carries a gold ring, in which is set a single brilliant, and the third finger of the other hand also displays a diamond set ring. It is the essence of style to vary one’s combination of jewelry with one’s dress. For instance, the topaz oollar pin should only be worn with a special kind of silk open work sock. A pearl and diamond tiepin must be balanced by a short leather watch chain, hanging from the left hand ‘waistcoat pocket, and set off with a gold fob. The male evening dress will per haps soon include the tiara, while the diamond shoe buckle is already being asked for at the stylish boot shops. Eventually the real dude, if he is to oontinue in his present course, will not consider himself fully dressed un- less one of his ears is fitted with the single earring, the style which is af present the fashion with the women. Embarrassing. An amusing incident happened, not Jong since, in one of the prineipa. squares before the station at Zurich, Bwitzerland. A well-dressed young woman, wearing high-heeled boots, | was crossing the street when her heel became caught in a tramway line where several branch lines cross. A erowd collected around the struggling girl, and tramcars stopped while a! gendarme vainly tried to free the boot, while the girl indignantly refused to take it off. As more tramcars were de- layed and the crowd increased, a gen- darme cut the bootlace ard pulled out the little foot, and then the crowd be- eame hilarious—the silk stocking was full of holes. Truth and Progress. ‘Whoever hesitates to utter that which he thinks the highest truth, Jest it should be too much in advance of the time, may reassure himself by PBooking at his acts from an impersonal point of view. . Not as adventi. tious will the wise man regard the faith whick is In him. The highest truth he sees he will fearlessly utter, Knowing that, let what may come of 8%, he is thus playing his right part in the world—knowing that if he can ef- feot the change he aims at—well, it not—well also; though not so well— Haerbert Spencer. The Lost Is Found. ‘When you lose & thing it is usually pone for good—especially if it is worth fuch. A man who lives in a town In Pennsylvania lost & plain gold ring 15 years ago. His name was engraved jnside it, but no one ever brought it | to him. So he gave it up and forgot it. But last month it was re- turned to him. A neighbor found it In hig pigeon loft. It is supposed that & pigeon found the shining bit and car- it to the loft, where it lay unno~ until a month aga.
