WOMAN'’S PAGE. Historic Failures at Assassination Tavern Waiter Discovered Plot Against Wllshinston and Warned Him. BY J. P. GLASS. MISS FRAUNCES TOOK THEM TO THE GENERAL, WHO, OF COURSE, REFUSED THEM. ‘When Gen. Washington went from Philadelphia to New York in June, 1776, he established himself in the Mortier House. It was then that some loyalists the plot to assassinate him. Forbes, a gunsmith, a) to have been the chief agent scheme. In a tavern kept by a fellow named Corbie he offered bribes to the . It was to be of men or “their sobriety, honesty and wvior.” Some seem to have en in who were neither sober nor onest. Forbes corrupted three of the guard, 8 certain Thomas Hickey, the drummer, named Greene, and Johnson, the fifer. Gen. Wi ‘was to be killed, New ‘York City was to be burned, a powder magazine was to be blown up, & mu- tiny was to break out in the army. ‘The whole affair fell through because of the cleverness of a patriotic waiter, ‘William Collier, in the g‘rgelnt'i Arms ‘Tavern. The whispering of some of his itrons aroused nfi' suspicions. He hid a closet and heard enough more to report the matter to a friend of Wash- ington. Om the latter’s information, the Provincial Mongress seized Forbes, who subsequently made a confession accus- ing Hickey, Greene and Johnson. Others were taken into custody with this trio. Mayor David Matthews of New York City was removed in irons to known mckelv was to have the death of Washington. But he made the mistake of trying to enlist the gen- eral’s housekeeper, Miss Fraunces, daughter of the famous tavern keeper, Samuel Fraunces, as his aid. His plan was to put n in a dish of green peas, of which Washington was extremely fond. Miss Fraunces pre- tended compliance in more about the conspiracy. Benson J. Lossing, the biographer, says that Hickey stirred the poison the peas in Wi 's very kitchen. Miss Praunces took them to the general, , of course, refused them, giving some excuse. They then were thrown to the chickens. Those which ate quickly fell dead. ‘The on! isode was not par- ucxpmfl b?‘mfgar Matthews in any way, nor by Gov. Tryon. Whatever other activities they indulged in were not improper. Tfyon was the royalist governor of the State. Matthews, it was shown, thought the scheme con- cerned only gun running and the arm- ing of loyalists for defense. ‘The Sons of Liberty compelled to flee to a British vessel in the .

Revenge is an ugly motive for parents to ascribe to their methods of disciplining children. But it is often the real one. Bobby is an active child of 3 years. His mother is making soup. Bobby is doing nothing. There is nothing for Bobby to do. He sees his mother pour- ing milk into the soup pot. That gives him an idea—he, too, will pour some- thing. A swift look about, and he spies & bottle of ink. That will pour nicely. Into the soup goes a tablespoonful of good blue ink. Mother shrieks. The family comes running. “That awful child! HeTl poison the !lm}{’yl Give him to me, I'll settle On second thought it is clear Bobby had no intention of poisoning anybody. He wanted to do something. He needed active work, participation in the con- cerns of the family. Grant him that, and he will not do such things as pour- ing Revengeful punishment will not mssure him thst partl ishment is wrong. h a child we are striv- his thinking, not his con- . _If he thinks right, he will He cannot help it. If thinks wrong, he has to do wrong. He cannot help that, either. Plainly, then, the thing to do is to help him correct his thinking. Will revengeful, angry punishment do that? Try to think right yourself. If you do, you will soon see that a great deal of trouble can be avoided by planning occupations for the childfen. They can share your work if you plan well. They can enjoy schemes of their own if they are given the opportunity. Plan for that and prevent many of the occasions of wrath. Mistakes are inevitable. Children are not born worldly-wise. All they know they learn by experience. We can so set their experiences at times as to make them very profitable. And it is neces- sary now and then to register certain inconveniences in their experiences. If those inconveniences, those punish- ments, are just, natural and under- standing; if they are inspired by a de- sire to help the child understand his environment and himself in relation to it, they are helpful. But not otherwise. It is not necessary to do something about every mistake a child makes. Punishment ought to be rare. A child who is being punished constantly can- not grow. There must be time for re- flection, and reflection is possible only MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Grapefruit. ‘Wheat Cereal with Cream. Brown Betty. Coffee. HAM OMELET. he \ for the mind that is calm. How calm are your children in their moments of leisure? How seriously do they porder your words of correction and advice? If your judgments are colored by anger and revenge, the child is not in- spired to higher achievement. He is driven to resentment and sullen resolu- tion to fight it out his own way. Think about this. It is very important in your relationship with children. (Copyright, 1830.) e Cream Puffs. Put one cupful of water and one- third cupful of butter into a saucepan. ‘When it bolls stir in one cupful of flour all at once and still untll it leaves the edge of the saucepan. Let the mixture cool, then add three eggs, one at a time, and beat each one in well before add- part spreading. Bake for 30 minutes in a hot oven or until well done. If in doubt as to the cake being done, take one from the oven and if it does not shrivel up in a few minutes it is done. This makes 15 small puffs. When cold fill with a cream nnm{ prepared as follows: Wet four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with cold milk, then add one pint of scalded milk, three-fourths cup- ful of sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and cook for five minutes. Beat three eggs, add two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch mixture to them, then pour into the saucepan with the rest and cook for several minutes. Take from the fire, add half a teaspoonful of va- nilla and one teaspoonful of butter. When cool fill the puffs and serve.

God does not always stay the winds that rise us no more than He does those that rise against Him. times when the storm becomes too much for us we hear His voice saying, “Peace, be stilll” But not always does He quiet the storms that beat about us. He does something better than that. He gives us of His stre that we may mount above the clouds. He turns the wind into wings upon which we may soar up- ward and onward. George Matheson has a ph in which the thought is beautifully ex- pressed: “Say not, ‘I must take shelter till the storm passes’ Say not, ‘God will sweep it away that I may come nearer to Himself’ Nay, He maketh the clouds His chariot. Leap into His charjot! Commit yourself to the black horses! Go out to meet the storm! Recline upon the bosom of the cloud! Ride upon the wings of the wind!
