Established in 1897
The M an Without
A Country
By EDWARD EVERETT HALE —
\J0W, when the fire of American patriotism flares again
j[ V from the rocky headlands of Maine to the golden beaches
of California, is the time to read anew this "prose epic
of American patriotism,"
As a story it holds the interest; as a lesson in love of
country it has thrilled the American heart for half a century.
There are now, thank God, but few Philip Nolans among us, men
who "wish they may never hear of the United States again! "
This famous story, which will rank forever first among
America's appeals to patriotism, should be read and reread
for its own sake and for the inspiration it brings.
PART I.
Em LIP NOLAN was as fine a
young officer as there was In
the "Legion of the West" aa
the western division of our
army was then culled. When Aaron
Burr made his tirst dashing expedition
down to New Orleans iu 1805 at Fort
Massac or somewhere above on the
river he mot. aa the devil would have
It. this gay. dashing, bright young fel
low at some dinner party, 1 think.
Burr marked him. talked to him, walk
ed with him. took him a day or two's
voyage in his Hat boat and. in short,
fascinated him. For the next year
barrack life was very tame to l>oor
Nolan. He occasionally availed of the
permission the great man had given
him to write to him. The other boys
in the garrison sneered at him because
he sacrificed iu this tin requited affec
tion for a politician the time which
they devoted to monongahela, sledge
and high-low-jack. Bourbon, euchre
and poker were still unknown. But
one day Nolan had his revenge. This
time Burr came down the river not as
an attorney seeking a place for his of
fice. but as a disguised conqueror. It
was rumored that he had an army be
hind him and an empire before him.
It was a great day—his arrival—to poor
Nolan. Burr had not been at the fort
an hour before he sent for him. That
evening be asked Nolan to take him
out ill his skiff to show him a cane
brake or a Cottonwood tree, as he said
—really to seduce him—and by the time
the sail was over Nolan was enlisted
body and soul. From that time,
though he did not yet know It. he lived
as "a man without a country."
What Burr meant to da I Know no
more than yon. dear reader. It is none
of our business just now. Only when
the grand catastrophe came some or
the lesser fry in that distant Missis
sippi valley to while away the mono
tony of the summer at Fort Adams
got up for spectacles u string of court
martinis on the officers there. One
and another of the colonels and majors
were tried, and. to liil out the list, little
Nolan, against w hotn. heaven knows. [
there was evidence enough—that he !
was sick of the service, had been will
Ing to be false to it and would have j
obeyed any order to march anvwhither
with any one who would follow him
had the order only been signed. "By
command of ills Exe. A. Burr." The
courts dragged on. The big flies es
caped—rightly for all I know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough as I say, yet
you and I would never have heard of
him. reader, but thut, when the presi
dent of the court asked him at the
close whether he wished to say any
thing to show that he had always been
faithful to the United States he cried
out in a fit of frenzy:
"D— the United States! I wish I
may never hear of the Unitod States
again!"
I suppose be did not know how tne
wonls shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Nolan
had grown up in the west of those
days in the midst of "Spanish plot,"
"Orleans plot" and all the rest. lie
had been educated 011 a plantation
where the tinest company was a Span
ish officer or a French merchant from
Orleans. IIIj education, such as It
was. had been perfected iu commercial
expeditions to Vera Cruz and 1 think
he told me his father once hired an
Englishman to be a private tutor for a
winter 011 the plantation. lie had spent
half his youth with an older brother
hunting horses in Texas. 11 ml. iu a word,
to him "United States" was scarce
ly a reality. Vet he had been fed by
"Cnlted States" for all the years since
he had been in the army, ile had
sworn on his faith as a Christian to be
true to "Onlted States." It was "Unit
ed States ' which gave him the uuiform
he wore and the swbtd by his side. I
do not excuse Nolan. I only explain to
the reader why he damned his country
and wished he might never hear her
name again.
He never did bear her name but
once again. From that moment. Sept.
23. 1807, till the day he died. May 11.
1S63, he never heard her name again.
For that half century and more he was
a man without a country.
Old Morgan, as I said, was terribly
shocked. He called the court into his
private room and returned in fifteen
minutes with a face like a sheet, to
say:
"Prisoner, hear the senteuee of the
court. The court decides, subject to
the approval of the president, that you
never hear the name of the United
States again."
Nolan laughed. But nobody else
laughed. Old Morgan was too solemn,
and the whole room was hushed dead
as night for a minute. Even Nolan lost
his swa&jer In a .moment- -Then Mor
gan added': "Sir. "uT.sIml, take the
prisoner to Orleans in an armed boat
and deliver him to the naval com
mander there."
The marshal gave his orders, and
the prisoner was taken out of court.
"Mr. Marshal." continued old Mor
gan, "see that no one mentions the
United States to the prisoner. Mr.
Marshal, make my respects to Lieu
tenant Mitchell at Orleans and request
him to order that no one shall men
tion the United States to the prisoner
while he is on board ship. Yon will
receive your written orders from the
officer on duty here this evening. The
court is adjourned without day."
I have always supposed that Colonel
Morgan himself took the proceedings
of the court to Washington city and
explained them to Mr. Jefferson. Cer
tain it is that the president approved
them—certain, that is, if I may be
lieve the men who say they have seen
his signature. Before the Nautilus got
round from New Orleans to the north
ern Atlantic coast with the prisoner on
board the sentence had been approved,
and he was a nv.in.without n eouativ.

EXCELLENT PASTRY.
BUMPETS.—One-half cupful but
ter, one cupful of sugar, one egg,
two-thirds of n cupful of milk, one
teaspoonful of vanilla, two cupfuls of
flour, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful
of baking powder. Beat the butter and
sugar to a cream; add the egg and
milk, beaten together with the vanilla
Lastly, stir iu the flour, with which the
salt and baking powder have been
sifted, and drop in spoonfuls on a
greased pan, leaving room for the mix
ture to spread. Bake quickly, and
while still warm roll Into cornucopias
or auj- form desired.
English Currant Pancakes. — Infuse
the thin rind of a lemon in a pint of
warm milk on the tire, strain it, add
two ounces of butter, then two ounces
of sugar, stir and add eight ounces of
flour mixed with sis beaten eggs, two
tablespoonfuls of water and a table
spoonful of brandy. Stir in lightly a
cupful of cleaned and dried currants.
Fry on a griddle and dust with sugar.
Cornmeal and Hominy Bread.—One
cupful cooked hominy, oue cupful milk,
one tablespoonfu'. meited butter, one
cupful white cornmeal, two eggs, oue
and one-half teaspoonfuls salt Mis
the ingredients and bake thirty min
utes in a moderate oven.
Coffee Buns.—Mix two cupfuls of
flour with one-quarter teaspoonful of
salt aud one teaspoonful of baking
powder, then rub In one-half cupful of
butter and three tablespoonfuls of cur
rants, three tablespoonfuls of chopped
candied lemon peel, one-half cupful of
sugar, one beaten egg and enough cold
coffee to form a stiff dough. Form the
mixture in small rough heaps on a but
tered baking tin and bake in a moder
ate oven until brown and crisp.
Kusty Ovens.
After using the gas oven leave the
door of your oven open until the oven
has become cold before closing the door.
This allows the steam that condenses
and forms moisture on the Inside of
your oven to evaporate quickly, and
this prevents your oven from rusting.
A Saving.
Whip cream In a fruit jar by shaking
it up and down for about five minutes.
This saves much whipping in the ordi
nary way and also saves the cream, as
not a drop escapes.
Why Not?
To avoid breaking the tips when emp
tying asparagus from the can open the
can at the bottom. The asparagus then
will slide out easily and whole.

Mother's Doll Story
The Pet Duck
Once upon a time there wu a Utile
boy, Dicky, who had a pet dock. This
ducky daddle was a doll stuffed with
nice soft cotton. The flannel body wu
pale yellow, and his bill waa black
velvet. He was a lovely pet to play
with because he never quacked too
loudly and he never nipped Dlcky*i
hands.
"Let's go and sail boats In the pool.
Ducky," said Dicky one nice summer
day.
"All right Go put on your swim
ming trunks," said Ducky.
So off they danced to the comer of
the yard where there was a cement
pool tliat Dicky's papa used to waah
the flower boxes in. Hot days he filled
it with water, so Dicky could paddle
and wade right in his own yard.
Splash went something right Into
the water. Ducks can't help daahlng
into water, you know. It's their na
ture. And when Ducky came up hia
black velvet bill had stained his yellow
back so that Dicky had to have a new
pet to take to bed with him that night
A Past Custom.
You, no doubt, have heard the term
"baker's dozen." 1'ou have never re
ceived more than the usual twelve
loaves for your money, though In oldea
time you would surely have been given
thirteen. In those days the law was
very strict about shortages In weights
and measures. The bakers were afraid
that somehow they would not give fall
weight, so to be sure they got Into the
habit of giving thirteen loaves for the
price of twelve. Thus it was that thir
teen came to be called the baker's
dozen. *
Daisies.
Meadows of swaying whiteness,
Can you guess what they may bet
Endless billows of flowers,
An ever moving sea.
What but meadows of daisies
To the far horl7jDn's brim;
Many of them are near me.
Hosts in the distance dim.
