"FOR. WASHINGTON !"
ONE OF THE BEST "THANHOUSER. PATRIOTICS"
We all know of Washington's remarkable feat in crossing the Delaware River at Trenton with half of his command, surprising the Hessians and making them his prisoners; but how advance word of helplessness of his enemy reached the great general has ever been a mystery. The bearer of the message was the very patriotic maid here portrayed, who, with her American scout sweetheart severely wounded, cleverly disguises herself and takes her lover's message to Washington. Through her aid, the latter reaches the Hessian headquarters, is admitted bj^ the wounded scout, and the enemy awake to find the American flag flying over them and the American army in full possession of their camp, the victors in one of the most bloodless yet decisive struggles of the Revolution. No. 187. Code word. Patriot.

A NEWSBOY HERO
was one of those remarkable youngsters that poverty could not down nor misery sour. For deep m his heart of hearts was a spring of goodness, of strength, and even of charity, that betokened brighter days and an honorable position in the important life that was to come. Small wonder, therefore, that at the first test of his manhood, he acquitted himself with rare distinction. He merely acted according to his lights— and they were strong with the flame of righteousness. He had been weighed and not found wanting, as may have been expected. The weighing is .what the reel takes up. No. 188. Code word. Hero.
