For years several representatives in congress
tried to secure an appropriation to be used for
the building of a monument to General Miller at
Peterboro, n. H., near which town I'll Try Sir"
lived on farm before the of 1912, and for
years after its close. The representatives who
had the matter Of pushing the bill in hand used
the words of Captain Miller at Lundy's Lane to
express their own determination to a VIC
tory They certainly did try, and the speeches
that made before the library committee of
congress held patriotic appeals in every sentence.
Apparently, however, 1t easier for Miller to
capture a battery against odds than 1t was for
members of congress to capture the dollars neces-
sary to build monument of enduring stones
to his memory.
1t was case of try and try again. While the
cause of Miller whose heroism worth
dozen monoments, being pleaded, congress
voted money for memorials to other men less de-
serving. Finally however, New Hampshire
member who had been digging into history found
out something about 'Ill Try Sir's' career which
was not generally known. Congress had been
told time and again that Captain Miller not only
had shown conspicuous gallantry at Lundy Lane.
but that prior to that fight he had thrashed
superior force of British and Indians 8. Managua.
Congress had also been told that Miller had COM
manded the center column of General Browns
army, which routed what apparently
overwhelmingly greater force of the British at
Fore Erie
These things didn't make impression. Con-
gress see..ed to think that inasmuch as Miller
superior forces of the enemy every day in the
week without imposing any monument raising
duty posterity. The New Hampshire member.
however, found out that after the of 1912
Miller went back to his farm near Peersboro
plowed fields, chopped wood and MIXED the cows
instead of going to Washington ask the gov
ernment to do something for him on account Of
his record.
Miler's popularity was such after the treaty of
peace that the government probably would have
been glad TO give him anything that it had to
give. When TN Try Sir" asked why he
playing Cincinnatus instead of taking a lob
in Washington, he replied When begin
leaving the farms for the cities the nation will
begin to decay
Congress was told of this saying of Miers
and either admiration for his choice of a farm
ers life or else belief that he a prophet
who before long might have the truth of his
prophecy proved brought a favorable report
from the committee on library in the matter of
the monument at Petersboro.

crease OF pension for the widow of soldier.
There were papers forwarded to him which bore
on the case, and these he turned to the
committee on pensions after his bill had been
introduced.
The widow did not get her money, and it
not long before the whole house knew why The
member who had espoused the widows
had been in congress for years. and the joke at
his expense was too good to keep, and one after
another OF his colleagues walked up to his desk
and congratulated him the wisdom shown in
the plea which was in written form, he had
turned in to the committee to win the widows
case.
1t is perhaps needless to ray that the mem
Der had never read the plea. 1t set forth the
fact that while the amount of pension increase

Upon occasion senators and representatives per
NIT their constituents to do their talking for
them in congress. Petitions come in floods at
times, with the object of securing legislation by
external pressure. In the Smoot case, and in
the pure food and army canteen matters the pleas
of the people came in by the tens of thousands.
The members of both houses present these let
