tween White Plains and Tarry-
town. Here it happened that
she had for a.neighbor a British
tory, very fond of chickens and
game coek%. Betsy hated the
tory because he was "against
us,” and she considered him at
once her personal enemy, and
decided to institute warfare on
his chicaen coop, with the result
that the flock of cocks dwindled
day by day, much to the discom-,
fiture of the loyal red coat.
“Betsy was celebrated for a
certain brand of drinks she
brewed for the American conti-
nentials. She called it a ‘bracer. ’
On one particular evening she
invited the American and French
officers to a chicken supper.
After the cookery of Betsy had
been sampled and praised by
the patriots, she invited them
nto a back room, where she had
prepared a surprise for them.
On the sideboat^ there were
lined up as many ‘bracers’ as
there were . guests, and in each
glass there was placed a bunch
of feathers from the tails oL|he

Farmers’ -Congress to.be, held
at College Station in July, said:
"The importance of this con-
gress is apparent to every think-
ing man in Texas, whatever may
be his business. The delibera-
tions are exclusively educational,
the instruction is eminently
practical, and every farmer who
will attend and avail himself of
the discussions will be amply
paid for his time. At these con-
gresses every live question which
the field, the orchard, the gar-
den and the ranch can suggest
is discussed by men of hard
sense and experience. It is a
great summer school of the
farmers, for the farmers and by
the farmers. They are free of
politics and politicians and other
hindrances which distract and
demoralize a crowd in a city.
Prompt to the hour the halls are
crowded at each meeting, the
discussions proceed with intense
interest from the start and the
isolation of the place prevents
the presence', of loafers and
idlers. The progressive .far-
mers of the State who are. able
to attend these meetings, should

Some of the fans say that the

titled to score at aU, and are dis-
posed to squabble with the boys
for permitting even one run.
But so long as the tally sheet
shows a winning run in their

with the locals. They put up a

some carelessness was noticeable
at times. The boys are grad-

The cocktail, according to Miss
Phoebe Couzins, should be re-
garded quite differently f:om
what the prohibitionists would
wish the credulous public to
believe.
“The cocktail is of patriotic
origin,” says Miss Couzins,
“and its inventor. Betsy Flanna-
gan, ought to be immortalized
by her statue being placed in
Statuary hall in the Capitol along-
side Miss Francis E. Willard.
“Betsy Flannagan was an Irish
lass and lived In Virginia at the
time of the American revolution.
She was known everywhere as a
good cook and a good, whole-
souled, hot-tempered American
patriot, Who hated the British
red costs with all the intensity
of her nature. She was a good
looking girl, and an officer in the
continential army made her his
wife. It was always her inter-
