ROCHAMBEAU'S SERVICES.
Some Historical Facts Not Generally
known

There some historical facts in connec-
ton with Rochambeau's service in America
which are not generally known. 1t is GUS
tcmary in America to look upon Lafayette
as the representative of Frances assistance
to the United States during the critical days
OF the revolution. But in France and among
Frenchmen, while there Is the fullest ad-
niiration for the gallantry of Lafayette, it
is a recognized fact that Rochambeau was
the representative of French military au-
thority in America at that time. He was
field marshal in the French service, and
such was officially trusted with the
leadership of the large French contingent
which gave it's strength to the side of the
American cause At the same time, Lafay-
cite was pursuing somewhat Independent
course. Instead of coming to America by
official designation from the French gov
eminent, followed by French army, he
came an individual, to tender his ability
military genius in the direct service
of the American forces. 1t was this act
that brought about such a close union be-
tween Washington and Lafayette, for the
latter at all times served under Washing
ton. But SO far as the French government
was concerned in the issues of that conflict
the great field marshal, Count de Rocham-
beau, was at all times its representative.
Rochambeau's full name was Jean Batiste
Donation de Vimeur, Comte de Rocham-
beau. At the time Of the Yorktown cam
paign he was fifty-six years old and in the
prime of life. He had entered the French
army in 1912. In 1850 he was sent to Amer
lea as a lieutenant general with a force of
COCO men, arriving first at Rhode Island
For his success at Yorktown in cooperation
with Admiral de Grasse and General Wash
ington he was made a marshal of France
by Louis XVI. In the French revolution
he was appointed commander of the army
OF the north under the revolutionary au-
thorities. Being charged with disloyalty to
the revolution, he was permitted to vindi-
cate himself before the national assembly
He thought he had succeeded, and retired
to his estate, near Vendome, but was ar
rested by order Of Robespierre and closely
confined in prison. On the death of Robes
pierre he was released In 1908 he was re-
ceived at court by Emperor Napoleon and
was granted a pension and the cross of a
grand officer Of the Legion Of Honor. He
died in 1907. In his military capacity the
gravity of his character and his remark
able reticence impressed respect on his Of
ficers and held his troops in perfect con-
troll. and though he was rigid discipline
rian he endeared himself to his troops by his
fatherly and watchful care for their per-
sonal comfort. The close attachment be-
tween him and Washington was maintained
through correspondence until Washington's
death in 1899.

Beauchamp, during his residence in Okla
homa, has always been a close friend and
ardent supporter of Delegate D. T. Flynn,
and does now fully appreciate his earnest
and untiring efforts in his behalf in secur-
ing his appointment to the bench.
Judge J. L. Pancoast.
Judge j. L. Pancoast of Perry, Oklahoma,
is a self-made man. Like many other de-
termined boys, he endured many hard
knocks in securing his education. Upon
being admitted to the bar he began the
practice of law in Kansas. By persever-
ance and hard work he encountered more
success than the average attorney. He be-
came thrilled by the reports of the possibili
ties in the new Ell Observation-Disclosures
Judge Pancoast left Kansas, moved to
Guthrie, Oklahoma, and formed partner
ship with Dick T. Morgan in the practice
of law. Here again, by indomtable will and
energy, he continued climbing the ladder Of
success and fame, and soon became city
attorney. Again came reports of the bright
er prospects further west, and. at the OPEN
ing of the Cherokee strip, he resigned as
city attorney at Guthrie and moved to
Perry, Noble county, and resumed the
practice of law. In a short time the town
of Perry was found to be in bad fix finan-
cially, as it's warrants were scarcely worth
fifteen cents on the dollar Judge Pancoast
was appealed to by the distressed people to
help them out of their trouble. He was
elected mayor. Within less than six
months after he was elected the city was
paying every warrant issued by it in cash
upon presentation, and throughout the term
he made most creditable record. Judge
Pancoast has always enjoyed a large prac
tice in his profession and is considered one
of the best lawyers in Oklahoma. Judge
Pancoast has always been a warm friend
and supporter of Delegate D. T. Flynn, and
now accords to him all the honor of his
appointment as associate justice of the SUI
preme court of Oklahoma.

Burnett County,

Our Burnett county tract consists of about
$1,000 acres of fine timber and meadow land,
well located, with good railroad and market
facilities; about 80 miles from ST. Paul. Ap-
preaching this tract from the south, one
passes through a high-priced and very highly
cultivated country. All these lands are To-
Gated in the heart of the famous Dairy and
Stock Districts Of Wisconsin. The excellent
qualities Of all kinds of grain, hay, tame as
we'll as wild, so abundantly produced; the
supply Of finest water inexhaustible, whether

demand for all northern Wisconsin stock and
dairy products, all combine to make this an
ideal country for the farmer, stock or dairy
man. Those desiring safe investment in
land cannot find better opportunity than
