ANZAC SEAMAN STRIKE
PAY FOR DIPPING FLAG
MELBOURNE, March 17.—The Au
stralian seamen is perhaps the most
“hard-boiled” of his class in the
world, if the following incident can
be taken as any criterion.
The Inter-State liner Canberra,
while steaming along the coast one
Sunday, passed a British warship.
Orders were given to dip the flag,
which took exactly two minutes.
Those members of the crew who
were concerned in dipping the' flag
claimed half an hour’s pay overtime
at Sunday rates. When this was re
fused the whole of the crew went
on strike at Melbourne and the ship
was held up until a settlement was
reached.
If they speak of her efficiency,
she remembers sadly that she has
taught for seven years without get
ting a husband.
As to love’s blindness, observe the
kind of cars some people place locks
on.
CENTURY OF LOVE
KEEPS AGED WOMAN
SINGLE TO THE END
WEALTHY FATHER REFUSED TO
PERMIT MARRIAGE 100
YEARS AGO.
OKMULGEE, Ind., Mar. 17.—
Cherishing for more than a century
a love of her girlhood, Miss Nancy
Boyd, of Okmulgee, has lived 119
years without marrying. Her life
has been a round of disappoint
ments; but as she sits in the deep
ening twilight of life she is happy
in the thought that soon she and
her lover will be reunited.
The daughter of a rich Tennes
see plantation owner, her love for
Jem Turner, the son of a poor man,
was frowned upon by her father,
who visioned for her a marriage into
the ranks of the old southern aris
tocracy. Turner’s persuasion that
she not defy her father caused Miss
Boyd to put aside hopes of an im
mediate marriage.
“I don’t stop loving him, though,”
she says. “Jem and I loved each
other more than ever and began
planning how we could get married
later, when father might soften.
You see, I refused to marry anyone
else.
Could Not Forget.
“Father thought I had forgotten
Jem, and in the weeks that followed
he had entertainment after enter
tainment in my honor, and young
men for miles around attended them.
I received many proposals of mar
riage, but refused them, to the great
anger of father.
“Every week-end our big planta
tion house would be thronged with
guests, and I was sure to get at
least one proposal at each party,
but no one could take the place of
Jem.
“Finally my father asked me why
I continually refused to marry. I
told him. He vowed that I should
not marry Jem during his life. But
we continued to hope.”
This was in 1824. Years passed.
Nancy grew to womanhood, Jem to
manhood. Then came the year that
began the southland’s greatest trag
edy—1861.
Still Hoped.
But Nancy and Jem still hoped.
She was considered an old woman
and he an old man. One evening,
as the war shadows were deepen
ing, they stood on a small bridge
near the Boyd plantation, discuss
ing the seemingly inevitable conflict.
Suddenly a bare-legged negro boy
dashed past on a mule, shouting at
them as he went:
De wah is stahted! Dev’s kill
ing’ ev-rybody!”
“Nancy,” said Jem, “1 am going.”
Boyd says—“that I would never see
Jem again. I told him so, but he
laughed.
“ ‘That is not a very cheerful
thing to say,’ he told me. But it
was a true prophecy. I never saw
him again. Throughout that bitter
war I never heard from him. Father
gave all we had to the Southern
army, and in the last days of the
war he was killed by a negro he
once owned.
“The war ended, and I learned
Jem was killed three days after he
left Nashville in 1861. 1 was the
last of our family, and as all our
property was gone there was nothing
for me to do but go to an aunt
that had a small farm in Arkansas.”
There she remained, working hard
for a living from 1865 to 1918. She
was off the farm but once.
Miss Boyd rode on a train for the
first time in 1918, when she came
to Okmulgee, and she has never
ridden in an automobile.
“I’d rather like to ride in one of
!
those automobiles some time, when
I feel better,” she says. ‘‘I don’t
like them as well as I did our fin
1 coaches, drawn by beautiful horses,
j Ours were among the best in th^
south,” she adds with pride.
‘‘But then there are many things
' of his day and time that I don't
care for. Everything is so cheap
and artificial. Even love is no"
prompted by the sentiments and
emotions, as it was in my day. You
will think me old fashioned. 1 am
i dreadfully so.”
j Miss Boyd, apparently, is in good
1 health, but her eyesight is rapidly
failing.
She has a collection of Civil War
newspapers, with brief stories o
many important battles. She ob
: tained all -papers available search
| ing for news of her lover.
