II had a very severe stomach trou-
BILE last year from which I was kept
in bed three months. I had engaged
the services of q doctor, but to no
avail. l then read Of Vinol and deter.

Former Governor Warield has been
prominently mentioned for a place in
President Elect wilson's cabinet, and
the billet of Secretary of the Navy has
been said to be most 6thng to our for
mer Governors qualifications. No
better man, no truer Democrat could
be found in Maryland TO alt an honored
position IN the cabinet, and certainly
Secretary OF the Navy would suit him
best. The navy is near and dear to the
heart OF Governor war6eld. He was
in the big est sense our Navy Cover
nor.
Governor Warfeld made it his busi-
ness while Governor to open his official
home to the midshipmen and the Ex-
ecutive Mansion was scene annually
of reception to the graduating class
at the Naval Academy, and from time
TO time the midshipmen were guests of
Governor and Mrs. Nardeld who mani
tested deep interest in all that per-
tained to them and the United States
Navy. No man has the interest and

The Founding of St. Louis
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

n NE hundred and forty-nine
~ years ago Pierre Laclede Lii
quest set out from New Or
leans, and three months later
reached the point for which he had
started, Fort DeChartres.
Liquest was the representative
and agent of the firm of Maxent
& Laclede. of New Orleans, which
enterprising company had just been
granted the exclusive trade of the
Missouri and Of the Mississippi as
far as the mouth Of River st. Pc
ter and it was for the purpose of
establishing point around which
the advantages of this grant might
materialize that the above men
toned expedition was undertaken.
\ month after his arrival at
Fort DeChartres. December. 1853.
Liquest set out to select the site
of the company's post, and. after
looking the ground over carefully.
decided upon the locality near the
junction of the Missouri with the
Father of Waters"
Here was a firm. bold bank high
enough TO be out of the way of
the floods, and vet not so steep to
interfere with the loading and I'M
loading of boats to which might
be added the fact that it was the
natural and inevitable depot Of the
entire trade of the Missouri.
Having determined upon the site
Liquest, on the morning of Febru-
airy Is. 1854, turned the first sod for
the erection of the first building in
the city which today has a popu-
lation OF nearly a million souls. In
April the settlement received the
name Of St. Louis, from Louis Ky
OF France
