appear like happy man He has
haunted look in his eyes, and he never
is seen to smile or laugh. He is only
a poor rich man.
The greatest pleasure Nine. WI has
these days is her 1ocOmObIIe. in which
she rides each day. She will spend the
summer at Atlantic City, where she
is regarded, more or less, curiOSi-
ty- On these visits she spends a great
deal of the time on the board walk.
The minister's son is fond of bathing.
Nine. WI is still studying English, and
is able to say few words to callers,
but it is quite incorrect to credit her
with the lengthy interviews one sees
in all the leading periodicals
Congress has been asked to pur-
chase the old Temple farm, near York
town, Va, on whose broad acres Lord
Cornwa1lis's troops surrendered to
George Washington in 1871 at the close
of the Revolutionary War The an
cient Moore house, which was the
headquarters of Washington, Lafayette
and Count de Rochambeau Immediate
ly before the capitu1ation of the Brit
ish, stands on the ground, and it is
proposed that the government acquire
the land and building and preserk O
them as historic~spots. There are about
500 acres in the Temple farm, which
has been kept undivided and in one
ownership. and the promoters of the
plan believe it would make a public
park in which every patriotic Ameri-
can citizen would have a keen inter
est
The government has erected mon
ument at Yorktown to commemorate
the victory gained over the British,
but it stands in open, barren field,
without suitable surroundings or ap-
proaches. The Temple property can
be purchased for about $4,000. In
1881 a centennial celebration was held
in the ground. which was attended by
descendants of Lafayette, ROchambeau
and the American generals who gained
fame in the Revolution, and the prof.
ect for preserving the historic ground
was then formed, but it has never been
carried out Since then the legisla-
lures of many states, the Patriotic
Sons of America, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the Colonial
ganizatiOnS, including the time-hOn-
ored Carpenters association of Phila-
deIphia. in whose hall the first Con-
tinentaI congress met. have adopted
resolutions urging the public purchase
of the scene which marked the trium-
plant end of the struggle for American
independence. Representative MAJ
nard of Virginia has introduced a bill
authorizing the purchase Of the Tenn :
pie farm and the Moore house, which
is in a good state OF preservation
Senator Mason was illustrating the
trials which an honest legislator has
to meet. He recalled the case of n
member of the New York general as
sembly when that body was consider
ing canal legislation a friend came
TO him and said: Jim, If you viii vote

! To which the friend replied: "Al
4 right, Jim: that suits me just as we'll
| If you Will vote against it I can get
