That was the way the Paul Reveres of 1916 summoned the troops to arms. Mr. Minute-Man Dyckman sat on the edge of his bed in his silk pajamas with the telephone-receiver at his ear, and yawned: "H'lo.... Who is it?... What is it?... Oh, it's you, sergeant.... Yes?... No!... For God's sake!... I'll get out right away." "What's the matter? Is the house on fire?"
From Long Island To Luzon. Across the Continent An American Governor-General Steams Through the Golden Gate He Is a Minute-Man Honolulu as a Health Resort The Lonesome Pacific The Skies of Asia Dreaming Under the Stars of the Scorpion The Southern Cross.
For these stamps the Government charged specific prices, for example, for a common property deed, one shilling and sixpence. The Minute-man of the Revolution! He was the old, the middle-aged, and the young. He was Capt. Miles, of Concord, who said that he went to battle as he went to church. He was Capt. Davis, of Acton, who reproved his men for jesting on the march.
The Colonel also procured one of these, and fell into line. The Marshal gazed at the crowd, pulled off his coat, and readily put his name to the passes of several gentlemen going east. Next came Mr. Bub Ballington, whom the Colonel knew, but pretended not to. "Going to Springfield?" asked the Marshal, genially. "Yes," said Bub. "Not very profitable to be a minute-man, eh?" in the same tone.
Where once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. Everything here is beautifully appropriate. The commemorative statue of the "minute-man" with his musket is simple and expressive, and the four lines of Emerson's hymn graven on the pedestal are the right words written by the right man, entwining, as it were, the historical and literary associations of the place.
