Puring the years of that bitter struggle, no pen in this country was more 'latent than his and none more definitely ciyrtajMaed popular feeling beiimd the American leaders is the conflict. He-hag been credited with suplying the impetus to the "movement ^ ward separation from England which wrought its culmination "in the Declaration of Independence, and here can be no doubt that the forcedeuce cannot be qoutioned. Even when hope seemed dim, he never gave up to despair. He continually assailed King George and the policies of his government. In one of his pamphlets directed at the English monarch, Paine used the expression "United States of America" supposedly the first time this appellation was ever employed. His services were appre ciated hy the country, and New York gave him a large tract of land and Congress voted him $8000.00. The Congressional bequest was largely a result of the efforts of Washington •who had always admired Paine. Pre ful appeaji to the people, contained in viously, the legislature of Pennsyl J>i« paimm$phhileettss,, aroused hope and ; ! ^ourage throughout the country. "* Secogrsition of this man's coatribu- ^iion to America s independence is ' Contained in a statement issued by the 4bh?ision of Information and Publica- C lion of the George Washington Bi- •fc" |entennial Commission in commemoration of the 194th anniversary of Maine's birth. Despite the appro- %rium which later was heaped on '"Jiim--most of it occasioned by the fjancor of his enemies--the value of '*•%is services remains in no wise dim- -finished, and he deserves the gratitude s i." «f the republic he helped to save. Thomas Paine was born in Thetford, "T^^pngland, on January 29, 1737, the son T /%pf a Quaker corseter who taught him the art of "stay-making. This trade »-did not appeal to the youth, how- ,i2"; Iver, and he soon left home to enter le excise service. This occupation ikewise failed to hold him, and he ,-ent to sea. But the life of a sailor *ras entirely tod unattractive, and ^'•faine soon returned to England, and •ince more became an exciseman. It while he was in this service that ke gained the first hand knowledge official corruption which made : §im the. implacable foe of priyileged k officialdom. 4 ^ Paine's skill as a writer early came i /. lhto evidence, and he was selected by |is* associates to prepare a criticism the British excise system and sugestions for its improvement. This paper attracted attention of Franklin frho immediately recognized the abil- By of its author and suggested that draine might find America a more desirable field for his writings. Accord- ; frigly, Paine came to this country path letters from Franklin and soon became connected with Pennsylvania Publications. Shortly after his arval here in 1774, the "Pennsvlvania jurnal" printed a long ant1' slavery. .Ussay which he had written. : In England, Paine had been so consistently radical in his criticism of Sritish governmental and political Customs that he seemed almost to ' Hate his native land. In America he Continued his attacks on King George, ftnd early in 1776 was published his pamphlet, "Common Sense" in which fee stated with singular clearness and force all the arguments that had been ide in favor of the separation of le colonies from the mother country. The effect this pamphlet had on 5ie Americans was instant and electriring. It was accorded a stupendous rculation, both here and in Europe Where it was translated into different languages and eagerly read by republicans in all nations. Contemporary Colonial newspapers claimed that •ft influenced thousands of dubious Americans to embrace the cause of Independence. Washington himself •Was impressed jfith the brochure, and abme have gone so far as to say that . the great General became converted t separation* from England only afr reading "Common Sense." ^ Although Paine was opposed to J|ar--his attitude being due in some j®easure to his Quaker training--he felt that America had been driven into Mi armed conflict by the tyranny and ^pression of George III, and the Same of Thomas Paine was early enrolled on the roster of the Colonial fbrces as a protest against the polices of Britain's King. In the army, Paine served under General Nathjpieal Greene, another Quaker, and he proved to be a courageous soldier and •Valorous patriot. Here the fiery Writer was an eye witness to the Sufferings of the "ragged Continentals"-- in fact, he suffered privation hardship with the rest of these ^£roic troops. •» During the national depression vania had voted the author 500 pounds. After -the Revolution, Paine turned his attention to science, for his ever active miTid could not allow him to be idle. He invented an iron bridge which •he tried to have adopted in this country. Meeting only with discouragement here, he took his model to Europe with the hope of greater success. But he had barely arrived in England when he became engaged in a verbal duel With Burke, to whose "Reflections on the French Revolution" Paine replied with his "Rights of Man." It created a stir among the government officials who considered the book seditious, and Paine was convicted of treason. But he es caped to France a few minutes before the officers sent to arreet-.him arrived on the scene. In France, Paine found a situation which seemed to have been made expressly for him. Here weye people struggling for their rights^ and the champion of human liberty immediately plunged into the fight wholeheartedly. He was very popular with the Revolutionists in France, and several departments would hatfe elected him to the national convention. He chose to represent Calais, and as a deputy from that place he opposed the execution of Louis XVI. This action aroused the distrust of the extremist in the Revolutionist party and when Robespierre came into power he had Paine thrown into the Luxembourg prison where be was h^ld for eleven months. During this time Gouverneur Morris, the American minister to France, refused to claim Paine as an American citizen, although the latter had become naturalized soon after coming to the United States. This unfortunate experience so embittered Paine that he was never able to forget it. When Monroe succeeded Morris, one of his first acts was to request his countryman's freedom. Paine was set free, but was forced by the hostility of the British to remain in France, until he was given protected passage to this country on an* American gunboat. Once more in <the United States, Paine found himself alienated from many of his old friends because of his "Age of Reason" which he had written in France and which to many people, appeared as an atheistic attack on all belief in God. He retired to his farm near New Rochelle, New York, and there spent the remainder of his days in seclusion. His -life came to an end on June 8, 1809. Thomas Paine has been both praised and anathematized by biographers. Perhaps he rfever fully deserved the condemnation which was heaped upon him during the later years of his life. Whatever his faults and mistakes, lack of patriotism was not among them. Most certainly the United States still is indebted to him for his great service in moulding public opinion daring the Revolutionary War.

A' S FAR back as the days when Carrie-Lee was a ten-year-old child trudging to school each morning, there was something that to her/ was peculiarly and pathetically servile in the way her father's back curved up around the shoulders, even , when he was a young man. As a matter of fact, Walter Mason's shoulders were not necessarily curved because he was a waiter. As a child he had been round-shouldered and had worn a small brace as a corrective. Nevertheless, it had always sfemed to Carrie-Lee that this stoop was. an attitude of servility; the servility of a man who waited on table. It was painful to Carrie-Lee to recite her father's occupation when asked by her schoolmates or for registration pur» poses as "Waiter." It hurt, more than it embarrassed her, to say it. There was never a time she could remember when she had not been poignantly, heart-hurtingly sorry for her father. Oftentimes, when occasion took her to the hotel where he was employed, she would stand at the swinging door of the pantry, watching him scurry in between the tables in the dining room, bent on service, perspiring with service, eager to please. It was a large hotel, one of the finest in the city, aad there was a smell of cut flowers and a pleasant din of orchestra and the voluptuous odors of unpronouncable foods. Her father, while on duty, wore a uniform--at least it appeared a uniform to Carrie- Lee. A black suit with stripes down the -trousers and a ghostly, glassy, white expansive shirt front. The shirt front was not really a shirt front at all, but a glazed dicky which her mother laundered at home and Ironed, while wringing wet, with an enormously heavy and almost red-hot flatiron. The tie was ready-made, too. It slid Into the celluloid collar with the click of false teeth. It was a hideous outfit. All sham. And another dreadful aspect of it was that her father never seemed to mind. He would lean, eager and servile, over the chairs and the tables of the hotel. Women with bare shoulders and with frigid,, aloof bearing would draw away slightly as he hovered. The men were curt to him, sometimes abusive and, more often than not, dictatorial, even when they tossed him tips. That was most unbearable of all to Carrie-Lee, seeing her father stand by, after he had handed the patron his check, his eye curved, watchful, waiting, appraising, for the tip.. Standing behind the pantr/ door as a child, the pain and torment of this were almost unbearable. Her trice, kind father, standing there in the cringing attitude of servility, watting for what tips would fall from the rich man's table. Then and there, decision was born in the small mind of the small girl called Carrie-Lee Her life work took form in her brain. She must emancipate her father fronf the horrible serfdom of waiting. She must free him from the black, shiny-fronted, stiff uniform of servility. He must be emancipated from that cringing attitude beside the dining tables of the rich. He must never, never again care whether the fat man with the purple veins in his cheeks and the roll of flesh at the back of his neck preferred his sirloin medium or underdone. No frigid womab to whom he was so much clay mnst ever again withdraw her delicate shoulders from his violently concerned nearness. Sometimes Carrie-Lee wanted to throw, to hurl herself against the smug implacability of these people, to claw off, In the name of her burning resentments at their treatment of her father, the jewels and silks and the geegaws. Who were they to sip the dear, golden soups that her father came bearing them, to reject with intolerable curtness the chicken because It was not browned to their liking or the salads, if they lacked some esoteric Ingredient? Carrie-Lee hated these people. She ground her small, square teeth over them. She resolved in her bitter, hurting heart that her life work was to free 'her father from serving them. It was not a resolution that was easy of accomplishment. There were six children besides Carrie-Lee, all younger, and a frail mother who was to die bearing her eighth child, when Carrie-Lee was fifteen. There was no let-up to the constant financial' strain that existed in the little household. No wonder the eye of Carrie-Lee's father curved anxiously toward the plate the moment after he had deposited the check beside the custonfer and the tip was expected to fall. It was a hungry, exacting family that had to be fed, doctored, clothed, educated and housed. And at fifteen, Carrie-Lee was mother there. Yet, through It ail, the determination in her born back there in the days when she had stood behind the pantry door, never failed, never faltered, never fainted. Curious, too, because In her father there apparently flared no sense of the ignominy of his work. It was hard, yes. Exacting, yes. The hours were long, but his main grievance had not to do with the nature of the work, but with the compensation. Tips were not what they used to be. Prohibition had knocked the waiter's role "higher than a cocked hat." A man had to hustle to make a living out of it, nowadays. Try as she would, Carrie-Lee could never get a rise out of him where the social aspect of it was concerned. Apparently he was not conscious of the servility of his kind of work. It was just a job. One had to make a living somehow. He had started in as bus boy and his life work had just naturally gravitated to waiting at table. As a matter of fact, he considered himself extremely fortunate. As social stratifications went in his world, he belonged to the upper places of his profession. For fifteen years he had waited at table in the foremost restaurants In the city. Some of the fellows were still flinging dishes in a third-rate restaurant, to say nothing of lunchrooms. Still Carrie-Lee's lamp of decision burned. It took her the first thirtyfive years of her life to accomplish what she set out do. On her thirtysixth birthday, v#Tth every one of her brood of sisters and brothers, comportably accounted for, and her own position as resident-buyer in a large department store comfortably assured, Carrie-Lee found herself with her dream materialized. Besides the four thousand dollar savings account in the bank, she had bought and paid for, that week, a flve-ro<pi bungalow In a new and extremely attractive New Jersey subdivision that was within commuting distance of her work. There was half an acre of land, a toolhouse for her father to putter in, a brand new car in the* one-car garage, a garden with hose attachments and every device for her father to keep It comely; a white veranda with unpainted furniture awaiting the touch of her father's brush, and countless small creature comforts that had been installed with loving care by Carrie-Lee. Her father, who had grown old In service and whose knees were bent and whose eyes were dim with tiredness, was almost unbearably pathetic to her now. It seemed simply past his understanding that here he was at sixty-three, safely Installed in this lovely little home and In a position to live his days in peac« and comfort and quiet. • To her enormous discomfort, the old man tried so heart-breakingly to serve Carrie-Lee. 'During their first weeks fIn the new home he arose it dawn so that he might carry her breakfast, piping* hot, to her room in order that she could get up In a leisurely fashion and make her train to the city without rushing. He wanted to serve. He could not sit still through a meal. He was constantly jumping up to things, waiting on table, eager, officious. The stamp of service was upon him. After a while Carrie-Lee realized that it was no use. She even encouraged him to have his way, realizing that by depriving him of an outlet for his energies the tranquility and dignity of his home life might soon pall. Eventually that is just what did happen. One year after their installment In the new home Carrie-Lee returned one evening to find her father in « state of excitement and activity that she had not observed in him ft>r month* on end. He was a person re-wade. The old light was back in his eyes. The roundshouldered stoop was there, but a new importance was in his carriage. He had come back into his own. He hhd succeeded in obtaining his old position in the hotel where he had served as waiter flsr so many years. Looking at him, Carrie-Lee suddenly realized the futility of the years of her pain. Waiting at table was not servility to her father. It was service. And a sense of service can glorify anything. Morfta'i Historic Raid Placed Under Analysis The public opening at Lexington, Ky., of the old home of Gen. John Hunt Morgan, daring Confederate cavalry leader, serves to recall his spectacular dash Into Indiana and Ohio and the controversies that raged about him and his comparatively small band of followers in the dark days of the Civil war. "Morgan's Raid," as the event has gone down Into history, was a challenge to odds as great as any man faced in that long-drawn-out conflict, when the Kentucky general, at the head of not m^re than 1,500 men, crossed the Ohio river into states virtually alive with Federal troops. From Indiana, through a combination of good tactics, good luck and good fighting ability, Morgan dodged and cut his way through the southern part of Ohio to the banks of the Ohio opposite Virginia, there to be hemmed in and trapped when a swift and unexpected rise of the river prevented him from crossing, says the Kansas City Star. It was a feat of daring and skill perhaps unequaled in the five years of warfare. In a way, those of the North who regarded Morgan as a guerrilla leader were about as nearly right as those who regarded him as regular Confederate cavalryman, subject to the orders, rules and regulations of the higher Confederate officers and the Richmond government As a matter of fact, Morgan was neither. He was Morgan--neither guerrilla nor regular, but an Independent force allied to the Confederacy.

A girl, pretty and young, rented a room in Brooklyn. It was in one of those houses where lodgers are permitted to cook their own meals and the girl was particular to see that the little gas stove was in working orilor. She paid a week's room, rent In advance, as Is the custom In such cases, went out and bought a small bunch of flowers, came back and put them in a glass, plugged the keyhole and door cracks, lay down and tamed w| sthe fW. „- ." •* • • • When at last they opened the gasfilled room, the girl was asleep forever. Her purse held a little money, but neither there nor on her clothes could any identifying mark be found. The police finally discovered, tn the waste-paper basket a torn and crumpled sheet of paper with the names of some Illustrators on it They visited the first one on the list told him he would have to go to the morgue aod eee if he eouid identify the girt. " This didn't make much of a lilt ulth him, as he Is naturally a highlystrung, nervous fellow, but he took a friend with him and accompanied the police. For purposes of this story, we will call the friend John Doe. It was night As the party reached the street, the policeman saw a large automobile and evidently knew the chauffeur, because they asked him to drive them around to the morgue. He said he would, as he was on his way back to the garage and had nothing to do. They told him the story and the name of the artist and his friend. < • • • . » 1 It seemed to the artist that the morgue was a dark and mysterious place. t They showed him the girl, and H was a bit of a relief to him to discover that he never had seen her before. When they came out and shut the door behind them, the automobile was still waiting. They started toward It, when suddenly from the dark doorway they had left, came a wailing voice, saying: "John Doe! John Doe!" To say that the artist and his friend were startled would be to understate the case. Pale and trembling, they hung on to each other. A laugh came from the waiting car. "Don't be scared," called the chauffeur. "I just couldn't resist It I once was a stage ventriloquist. I called 'John Doe,' because I couldn't remember the other guy's name." • • • That Is the end of the story, but I might say that the police never identified the girl. None of the artists whose names she had written down had everseen her. Apparently she had thought of trying to get work as a model and had copied their names out of magazines or a telephone book. The car. by the way, was said to belong to a dighitary of the church. Those who turn out articles under the name of some prominent person have become cojpmonly known as "ghost writers."

The others gave him time to get to sleep and then called him on the telephone. One of them told the serious golfer he was sorry to disturb him, but that he was the trouble man of the telephone company and that a break in the circuit had been traced to his room.
