as he was to the imperious Emperor.
It was through Lafayette's influence
largely that Louis XVIII. was put OF
tho throne and Louis Philippe. the cjt-
izen KING, made his SUCCESSOR.
Glory
In 1924 an honor was shown to
Lafayette unique In history. Tho Con-
gross OF the United States invited him
to become the guest of the nation.
The general (never did he use other
title after the adoption OF the Con-
stitution OF France) was sixty-seven.
A man-of-war was placed at his dis
posal. but he preferred to go In q
regular ship. On August Is he arrived
in New York. and began q tour OF
the country. Never was q more won-
derful reception given TO a man. To
most Americans he was q tradition
the good young man who had done
SO much to free America" The thirteen
Colonies had grown to twenty-four
States and the population had increased
from 100000 to 100000 He went
the nation over. People Travelled hun
dreds OF miles to get a glimpse OF
him. Every place he went his path
was strewn with flowers. Every sur

claimed. with what measure of de-

lion hearted valor. and within which

scenes OF war Behold, they stretch
forth their feeble arms to embrace you!
Behold, they raise their trembling
voices to invoke the blessing Of God
on you and yours forever!"
Lafayette went home In a frigate Of
war. Thereafter throughout France
where he went more honor was shown
to him than to the King. He died
May 20. 1884, at the age of seventy
seven. On the, day of his funeral the
church bells Were tolled throughout
France, Belgium. Poland. Switzerland
and Great Britain. And in America
every member of Congress wore a
badge of mourning for thirty days, and
Congress recommended that all the
people of the United States do the
same.

threats. of establishing IN independent
government and throwing Off the
British yoke.
The Dukes Dinner.
Ono of the party at that dinner was
the Marquis de Lafayette. He was a
member of one OF the proudest families
OF France. He had an income OF $780,
600 year. His family had given six
marshals to France. and six weeks be-
fore he was born his father. colonel Of
regiment of grenadiers. had been
killed at tho battle Of Hastenberg,
charging an English battery command
ed by Colonel Phillips-the same
Phillips who, as a general was to die
In Virginia in 1851 while opposing
Lafayette.
The story Of tho struggle Of the
American colonists had strong ap-
peal to the young marquis. From that
moment he said later, my heart was
enlisted" He had no love for Eng
land, for England was the hereditary
enemy Of France, and that may have
quickened his ardor. but deep down in
his heart he was a republican. sym.
pathizer with oppressed mankind and
a believer in liberty. Although nobly
born and much sought by the great
people about the court OF the French
King. his own homo had moro attrac-
ton for him than the most brilliant

When Benjamin Franklin and Silas
Deane arrived in Paris In 1776 as
agents of the United States and looked
around for men to assist the young
republic. they soon had their attention
attracted to Lafayette. The French
King had to be strictly neutral-at
least on the surface. France and Eng
land were at peace. and besides France
was so impoverished that she could not
risk war Soldiers Of fortune might
go from Franco to America, but no
one connected with the government
could get permission. Lord Stormont,
the British Minister, kept close watch
on Franklin and Deane, and In their
negotiations with Lafayette they had
to deal through an American named
Carmichael Deane handled the affair.
