READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Large Handwriting Conformaticns of bodily structure and physical features are not the only signs by which character tendencies may be judged. The scientific chardcter' analyst can tell almost as much about a per- son’s character by a mere inspection of handwriting as by eobservation of the person himself. Of course judgment become more dif- fieult where the is a deliberate attempt on the part of the subject to deceive, much more difficult than in cases where the person can actually be observed. Still no matter how the subject tries to avoid it, guiding clues are unconsciously em- bodied in his or her writing. Take as an example the person who habitually writes a large hand, and for some particular purpuose writes a small one for the inspection. It may fool the analyst. But the chances are that the latter will run across sofhe other char- AMEBICAN INVASION OF CANADA At the beginning of the revolt of the thirteen colonies, which subsequently formed, by thelr separation from Great Britain the United States of America, it was believed among them that Canada would join their movement if the Brit- ish troops, which oeeupled the country, were driven out. Acting on this belief, the Continental Congress at Philadel- phia in June, 1775, adopted a resolution Instrueting Gen. Schuyler to repair with- out delay to Ticonderega (which had been surprised and taken a few weeks be- fore by Etan Allen and his Green Moun- tain boys) an he found it practic- able and it would Wot be disagreeable to the Canadians immediately to take pos- session of St John's and Montreal arg | pursue any. other measures In Canadu ‘which might have & tendency to promoté the peace and security of these colonfes. Gen, Schuylér found i diffeult to gath- er troops and supplies for the projeeted expedition, an it was the middle of Au- gust before he was prepared to move. His chief subordinate ofieer Gen. Richard Montgomery an Irishman former- Iy in the British service, but settled lat- terly In New York; and he was to be sup- ported by a cooperative movement plan- ned and led by Benedict Armold. Gen, Montgomery with 3,000 men would g0 down ,Lake Champlain and attack Montreal; while Gen. Arnold with 1,200 was to seek the headwaters of Kennebee river cross the height of land and pe- scend the Chaudierp to the very gates of Quebea he brave Gen. Carleton who jhad been with Wolfe at Quebec, was now ip command of the forces of Cahada, if 500 British regulars and a few hundred militia might be so demominated, No doubt Governor Carleton with his small army undertook too much. He sought to defend the way to Montreal by holding Fort St. John, and at Que- bec by defending Chambly.” Both these Qlaces fell before the Amerieans. Gen. Montgomery pushed on down the Rive Richelieu and occupied Sorel, throwing forces across the St. Lawrenee end, erect- ed batteries on bath sides to prevent freg intercourse between Montreal and Québec. Montreal now defenseless was com- pelled to surredner on the thirteenth of November, and eleven British vessels were given up to the enemy. It wi really a dark hour for Canada. Gen. Carleton has been severely criticized for dividing his forcer The truth is the at- tack was so unexpected and se soon a ter the outbreak of the rebellion that mo plan of defense for Canada had. been Taid. Gen. Carleton oscaped from Montreal and in a boal passed the Sorel batteries with muSled oars undes cover of night. /|The general had but reached Quebec in time The expedition of Arnold had al- ready gained the St. Lawrence on the side opposite the Aneient Capital 'The energy displayed by Arnold's men was re- markable. The Kennebec is a series of rapids Its swift current hurries over dangerous rocks at every turm. The high- lands, when reached, consist of swamps and rocky ridges covered with forest. The Chaudiere proved worse than the Ken- nebee, and the current being with the boats dashed them to pieces on the rocks. Arnold's men on thelr six weeks' mareh had run short of food and were compell- ied them. Not much more than half of Arnold's army reached tho St. Lafremce. Ar- nold’s force erossed the river, landed at Wolfe's cove, and built huts for them- selves on the Plains of Abraham In the 5th of December Montzomery joined the Kennebec men before Quebec. The unit- ed force was of some 300 men supported by about a dozen lisht guns. Carleton had, for the defense of Quebee, only one company of regulary and a few seamen, and marines of a sloop of war at Quebec The popularity of the governor was such that he easily prevailed upen the citizens both French and English, to enroll them- selves in companies for the defense of unknown to the present_generation, |future.
