 Washington, ID. C., Dec. 7.-The American nation paid signal honor to the revolutionary hero, Baron Von Steuben when in the presence of the President, the Army, Navy and dip- lomatic corps and civil host mag nificent bronze statue of the Baron was unveiled at the Northwestern corner of Franklin Park today. On this square stands statues to Lafay- cite and Rochardeaux splendid sol- d:ers who assisted in establishing the freedom of the United colonies
 In the case of Baron Von Steuben's somewhat delayed honor to the Ger man patriot and soldier there was compensation in the fact that the sIa- tue was unveiled by the hand of tie daughter of the Nation, Helen Taft, The only untoward feature of tha ceremonial was the weather which riled up the snow as it did the days of Baron Von Sleuben at Valley Forge when he was following his great chief General George Wash 'nS- ten. Representative German citi- zens came to Washington from near an dfar to do honor to Von Steuben, TEere were delegations from as far vest as Colorado Springs. The spec tacular feature was of course the parade. This comprised a body of ten thousand made up of Army Navy and the marine corps and civil societies under command of Major General William R. Garter of the U. $. A. as grand master.

His mother said l should not have

with the change that has been coming
on during the past half century in the

Even formerly, when the woman was
supposed to be obedient to her hus-

that she has got him under there Is
no need Of either tact or persistence.
She rules him because she is his su-

Well, as l was saying, Charlie had
accepted me, and there was nothing to
be desired but his mothers consent,
when his father, as Ill luck would have
it, made a dash to recover the family
management, asserting that Charlie
should be mine. This spoiled every

family, while the support Of the foot

Up to the age of forty years Peter
White had been a Woodworking man:
then he married the Widow Smith and
sat down and communed with himself:
1--WE almost broken my back with
hard work. but now that I've married
money I'm going to take things easy.
I'll hire some one else to do the work,
and I'll do the bossing."
He fondly expected to carry out this
program, but he ran up against stone
wall the very first thing.
you'll not only work as hard az
ever, but good deal harder" was the
reply Of the wife when he stated his
case. 1--WE got to do it In the house,
and you won't get out of it outdoors.
The matter is all settled, and We'll say
no more about it."
Peter communed some more. As he
couldn't force matters, he determined
to resort to strategy. He went home
from the cornfeld one day with blank
tace and asked the wife who he was.
my stars, what do you mean?" she
exclaimed after a look at him.
II was hoeing corn and hustling
when something gave way in my head.
I can't remember who l am. l can't
remember who you are, but it seems as
lf I had seen you before. What's the
matter with me?"
Good lands, but it must be some
thing awful! Don't you remember that
you are Peter White"
Eyes; It kinder seems that way, and
yet I'm all the time wondering If
hain't Sam Johnson. Your name is
Schermerhorn, amt it?''

Cant you remember that was the
Widow Smith until I married you?

has had stroke or something"
Peter was taken in and cuddled up.
Chicken soup and toast were made for
him, and the wife MIXED the cows and
fed the hogs. The doctor came and
looked at Peters tongue and heard
some Of his queer talk and pronounced
1t case Of loss of memory. He said
that some time in the years agone Pc
ter had stood under tree during
thunderstorm and had been knocked
Into cooked hat by a thunderbolt.
The real effects Of the injury were just
coming out.
Peter was to sit in the house or wan
DIR around as he liked. After about a
month Of coddling I slight improve
.Oent was noticed. He remembered
