REVERE Paul Revere, the 200th anniversary of whose birth occurred last year, is known to fame chiefly because of his historic ride from. Boston to arouse the “minute men” on the night of April 18, 1775, before the | engagement with the British at Lexington and Concord. But, aside from this notable exploit, he was an uncommonly active and ! versatile citizen. He had taken part in the Boston Tea Party, and became a_ lieutenant-colonel | during the Revolution, after serving as a tieutenant of artillery in the Crown Point ; expedition of 1756, during the French and | Indian War. In civil life he displayed a variety of talents which a recent biographer thinks entitles him to be known as America’s first “jack of all trades.” He was a goldsmith, u copper roller, a dentist, an engraver, a powder manufacturer, a maker of picture and, de- plorable as it may seem, a seller of hard liquor. Dvcuments recently made public by his great-grandson include bills of lading showing that Paul Revere sold a consign- ment of 1um at 60 cents a gallon, also gin at a: proportionately low figure. This same great-grandson now heads a copper busi- ness founded by his distinguished ancestor, which still bears the name of Revere, Boston: ‘| But Revere’s chief pride seems to have been in his dental skill, and he once sent a circular to prospective clients, which would be considered highly unethical to- day, in which among other things he said, referring to human teeth: ‘He fixes them , in such a manner that they are not only an ornament, but of real use in speaking and in j ‘THE KEY ‘WEST CITIZEN Dodge Auto Dede Auto Factory Yrs 00 Diamonds | Dodge Auto Factory Uses 1000 Diamonds | 1000 Diamonds B } Denver TODAY’S Lowest ( Station Abilene Atlanta | Boston .

He was Frederick Augustus Conrad Muhlenberg, born in Pennsylvania in 1750, the son of a German pioneer, a Lutheran preacher. The son followed in his father’s footsteps and also became a _ Lutheran preacher at the early age of 20, six years before the Declaration of Independence. Young Muhlenberg was a staunch sup- } porter of the Revolution, and because of his patriotic expressions was chased from place to place by the British. Nothing daunted, he continued to preach liberty as well as the pospel, and was elected to the Continental Congress. After liberty had been won and the; new constitution had been adopted, Muh- lenberg was sent to the First Congress and Was elected its first speaker, and was sub- ayipigntly Speaker of the Third Congress. wy ie two terms as speaker of the hs Vania legislature. ay Ilis brfliant career as preacher and pinion cAme to an untimely end in 1801, when he died at the age of 51.

Treaty rights have been violated by Japan, and no great power does anything “We are on our way out” of the Orient, he says, and “we shall see in twenty or thirty years a much more powerful Japanese Em- pire.
