hope for a reduction of the prict> of
beef to less than oue half of what
it is today has bee* brought to the
American people by Augusto B, Leb

ation that with the opening of the

4,000 miles lu distance between the
United States and Peru, beef eould
be delivered in New York for 11)

that during the first few months of
the present fiscal year imports of
beef increased several million
pounds, coming principally from Ar

age price of from 7 to 10 cents a
pound.

ATUI NOTES
Oct. 3, 1913.
Later information regarding the
drowning of George Wrong shows
that Dan Holland and George Cas
sidy are deserving of great credit
for their efforts to save Wrong.
When the latter came to the car
face after his plunge, he called to
Holland, who Immediately responded
by jumping into the lake and swim
ming towards him, but when within
ten feet of Wrong, the latter de
liberately dived, and Holland turn
ed towards the boat again. Cassidy
saw that HoMand was having great
difficulty owing to his heavy cloth
ing and boots, aud taking the pain
ter in one haud, jumped in to as
sist Holland. After a hard struggle
iu the intensely cold water, both
managed to get into tho boat again,
in a thoroughly exhausted condition.
The attempt to grapple the body
on Sunday was unsuccessful, and
the lake has been too rough since
to resumo tho search, but another
effort will be made as soon as
weather conditions permit. Tlio
water is 70 feet deep at the place.
Capt. Alexander of the Engineer
Mine came over yesterday and re
turns to the mine today. He is
accompanied by Mr. Law, a promi

Prudence and Mercy
A Revolutionary Story
For Independence Day
By F. A. MITCHEL
Near the City of Brotherly Love, «.„U
monly called Philadelphia, there lived
during the Revolutionary war a Quak
er merchant yclept Jonathan Sut
phen. Mr. Sutphen was a patriot and
would gladly have fought the British
who were trying to reduce the Ameri
cans to obedience had be not belonged
to the sect of noncombatants. He so
far went back on his principle as to re
frain from forbidding his son to enlist
in the American army, but his con
science would not permit him to bear
arms himself.
When General Howe and his red
coats held possession of Philadelphia
on stated days he would send detach
ments out into the country to protect
the farmers who desired to bring their
produce Into the city for market Jon
athan Sutphen was too patriotic to sell
anything to a redcoat, and since it was
the practice of the British commanders
to avoid doing anything to irritate the
people against the king's authority
they gave orders that no one need sell
unless he chose to do so.
Sutphen, on being asked to sell his
butter and eggs, would say:
"Friend, I do not desire to sell thee
my products. If thee take them with
out m.v consent thee have only to
do so."
Now, these words might be inter
preted to mean, "I, being a Quaker,
cannot oppose you In combat; there
fore you have only to take what you
want." or there might be a reply such
as has been made to men demandlngthe
surrender of a fort, "If you want It
come and take it." The soldiers could
r.ot tell which of these two interpreta
tion to put upon the old man's word
and had some curiosity in the matter.
Jonathan, haviug winked at his son
entering the rebel army, was left with
his two daughters. They had been
i>rOllfrm U|l yilUKLTUSUSen, UUI uig uvm
combatant principle was not as solid In
thorn as t was In their father. One
day when a British sergeant and sev
eral privates asked the old man It he
didn't wish to sell his tratter and eggs
he received the reply, "Those products
of the cow and the hen are the prop
erty of ray daughters." The sergeant
then applied to Prudence, one of the
daughters, who said, "No redcoat is
■welcome to our property even by pay
ing for it."
"But suppose we take it Surely you,
a Quakeress, would not resist us."
"Surely thee as a soldier would not
take from a woman what she would
deny thee." *
"We would take from any rebel
against the authority of the sovereign
what we need to sustain us In the
kiug's servlec."
With that he went to the henhonse
near by and began to look for eggs.
Flaring- gathered what be found there,
ho was passing the kitchen door when
he received a douche of scalding wa
ter all over him.
lie was too badly burned to think of
anything except the pain he suffered,
but the men who were with him, see
ing what had been done, vowed they
would dock the girl in a pond on the
premises, giving her a cold bath to pay
her for the hot water she. had given
the sergeant Bushing to the kitchen,
thoy were endeavoring to drag her
out when there appeared in the door
\vay the towering form of the old
Quaker, her father.
"Thou miscreants!" he said, raising
a"- huge walking staff he held In his
ha-nd. "Thoi: minions of a tyrannical
king! I will smite thee hip and thigh!"
Down* came tbe staff on the back of
one of the men. Then it was raised
and fell again on the head of another.
They had left their muskets outside,
intending to use both hands In drag
ging the girl to tbe pond, and were
consequently w-ithout weapons. Pru
dence's sister. Mercy, seized a rolling
pin and brought it down on the skull
of ono of the soldiers, who had stoop
ed to avoid a blow from her father.
The man, stunned, lay on the floor.
Then the old man finished the other
soldier with a blow of his staff on the
stomach, and Prndence, seizing a
clothesline coiled on a nail driven into
the wall, assisted her father and her
sister to bind both the intruders.
'.'You old villain!" roared one of the
redcoats. "I thought you were a
Quaker and wouldn't fight"
"I have sinned in resisting thy im
portunities," replied the old man, "but
I have been sorely tempted. I would
have turned my other cheek to thee,
but I could not see thee constitute thy
self a judge in the case of my daugh
ter nor permit thee to smite her."
The door was darkened, and a Brit
ish officer stood looking at his men
bound and guarded by an old man and
two girls. lie asked what It meant and
was told. He directed them to unbind
the men, promising that they should
not bo further annoyed.
"I am obliged to report this case to
headquarters," he said. "Please give
rae your names."
"My name Is Jonathan Sutphen,"
said the old man meekly.
"And yours?" to one of the girls.
»"Prudence." The officer could not
repress a smile.
"And yours?" he said to the other
sister.
"Mercy."
Ho burst Into a laugh.
"Well. Mistress Prudence and Mis
tress Mercy, all I hare to say to yon
is that you belie your names."
After the war the officer married Pru
dence, admitting that It was the most
imprudent act of his life.
