SUFFERING AT VALLEY FORGE
General Washington and His Little

General Howe, having sailed forth
from Philadelphia, where he had es-

times during the early part of Decem-

ton, but finding the latter's forces
were too formidable, Howe finally de-
cided to go into winter quarters in
Philadelphia on December 9, and
Washington, seeing that the campaign
on the part OF Howe would hardly be
resumed before spring, and not hav-
ing an army formidable enough for at
tack, decided to go into winter quar-
tiers himself. He selected Valley
Forge, about thirty miles northwest OF
Philadelphia. Washington and his
army arrived there on December IL,
1777, and at once began the erection
of huts. They were arranged in
streets, giving the place the appear

Y F QUEBEC didn't partake of the
light-hearted Frenchiness of a
4 Poiret skating cap it could never
live out the life of a twentieth
century city, clinging aslant and jaunt-
lily as it does to Seventeenth-centu
mountain with its mouth full of guns.
Quebec began at river-level, humbly
yet aspiringly, when the gallant Mar
Quis de Montcalm in 1908 laid down
the cross and the sword for a moment
while he dug foundations for his
house, situated near what is now the
Lewis Ferry pier in the lower town,
says A. Lyman in the Boston Tran
script. There was hundred-and-eighty
foot cliff behind the little home, with
its gay garden afiame with all the
flowers of Versailles for the sweet
marquise who was to come over the
Atlantic, and before the door stretched
the loveliest Of rivers, fading into the
distance beyond green Orleans. But
Quebec could never be satisfied to live
in one place, planted and at rest. So
it climbed the great mountain, perch
ing Frontenanc's beautiful Chateau st.
Louis where now the Chateau Fronte-
nae stands. And after it had filled the
hill with buildings, it flowed over the
top and down into the valley of the
ST. Charles, where you can see it to-
day, multiroofed and a-twinkle.
Thus it comes that the streets of
Quebec lead varied and exciting life,
from Mountain hill, which is too steep
for the old man to climb, and Sous lie
Cap, which is too narrow for the big
car to get through with dignity, to
such roads as Ste. Anne and Fabrique
that go upstairs and downstairs in a
life of perpetual hidetand-seek with
the proprieties of streetdom.

stabbed their horses in the building,
used the marble font as a horse

| the communion table as a butchers

1t is described in detail by Bishop
Meade in his "Old Churches and Fam
| lilies of Virginia" This quaint, peace
| full country church is situated in a
grove of fine old oak trees near Yeo-
comico creek, an estuary of the lower
Potomac river While only a few
miles from the river, the church is a
great many miles distant from rail-
road and Is far from a town or vii

parative inaccessibility but few Wis
Itors from the outside world cross it's
historic portals.
| In part of the wall of the church are
the initials ''R. L." and figures 1905
evidently referring to Richard Lee,
whose wealth contributed to the cree
ton of the church. Other curious
symbols appear on the exterior or
this venerable place of worship. These
objects, together with the beautiful
marble font still used for christening
embryo Washingtons, the quaint win
dows and communion table, the sun
dial bearing date of 1717, the old iron
dipper in the nearby spring, and the
gallery for slaves and carriage driv-
ers are intensely interesting. All
three quaint and curious objects and
many others not mentioned, apart
from the tradition that George Wash
ington was christened within the walls
of "Old Yeocomico," make this one Of
the most noteworthy of the old
churches of America.
When visited a few years ago by

nished the necessary light to enable
the service, just as in the days before
the Revolutionary war.
Except for period following the
disestablishment of the Church of Eng
land as the state church of Virginia,
Yeocomico church has been in con-
tinuous use since 1706 by the Episco-
palians as a place of worship. For
several years after the Revolution the
church was used by other sects, dur
ing which time, it is said, the blind
Presbyterian preacher, Rev. Mr.. Wad-
dell, made famous by the eloquent de-
scription of William Writ, displayed
on one occasion his fervid oratory.
Here also the great but little known
Scotch clergyman and educator, Rev,
Archibald Campbell, the man who
taught Washington, Madison, Monroe,
John Marshall and other Virginia
youths, who were born in and lived in
the northern neck" of Virginia, and
wrote their names high on the scroll
of fame, occasionally preached
