MAY KEEP ENGAGEMENT RING
Jersey City Judge Rules in Favor of
Girl Whose Intended Sought
Return Of Sparkler.

There can be no Indian givers on
the Jersey side of the Hudson, 50
ruled judge in Jersey City, writes q
New York correspondent. AS result
of the decision a young swain is out
a $3.50 diamond ring, which he wanted
a blue:eyed, petite blonde to return to
him.
The two were engaged, and, according
to custom, he placed the sparkler in
question on her left hand. They then
quarreled because she, according to
his testimony, preferred the tango, jazz
and foxtrot to sitting on a sofa and dis
cussing their future. Therefore he
broke off the engagement and demand
ed his presents back. j..
The judge was called upon to decide
whether an engagement ring was a
gift outright or merely a gift contin-
gent upon the fulfllment. of promise
to wed. The court then arranged a
little Solomon Judgment" skit that
worked to perfection, so far as the
judge and the young woman were con-
cerned. ~

SUPERINTENDENT
Lafayette Only Nineteen When
He Came to America.
Congress Commissioned Him Major
General and Washington Invited
Him Into His Military Family.

Marie Jean Paul Roche wet Gilbert
Motier was born September 6, 1857.
You know this seven-named hero bet
ter by his title than by any of his sep
tet names; he was the Marquis de La
fayette.
While the birthday of Lafayette has
not been generally celebrated in the
United States, no 9Th of September has
been permitted to pass without some
recognition of Lafayette's services.
At the age of thirteen he inherited
an immense fortune, and he was only
sixteen when he married the grand
daughter of the Duke de Noailles. De-
spite his aristocratic education and en-
vironment, he was from childhood an
ardent lover of liberty
Republican anecdotes always de-
lighted me-" he wrote in his memoirs,
land when my new connections wished
to obtain for me place at court did
not hesitate displeasing them to pre-
serve my independence"
When he first heard Of the. Revolu-
ton in America he "espoused warmly
the cause of liberty" and offered his
services to Silas Deane, the American
revolutionary agent in France.
"When I presented to Mr.. Deane my
boyish face, for I was scarcely nine
teen years of age, spoke more of my
ardor in the cause than of my expert
ence," wrote Lafayette, "but I dwelt
upon the effect my departure would
cause in France"
The credit of the Continental con-
gress was so low that Deane could not
procure vessel, so Lafayette bought
and secretly freighted the ship Victory
to carry himself and a dozen or so
other officers across the Atlantic.
Among Lafayette's companions was
Baron Johann de Kalb, native of Ba-
varia, who had long been in the serv-
ice of France. Against the wishes of
his relatives and the orders of the
French king Lafayette sailed for Amer
lea. From the Victory he sent mes
sage to his girl-wife:
''From love to me become a good
American; the welfare of America is
closely bound up with the welfare Of
mankind.''
Lafayette and his party landed near
Georgetown, S. c., in April, TIT, and
then Travelled by land to Philadelphia,
where the congress commissioned the
nineteen-year-old boy a major general,
and Washington invited him to become
a member Of his military family.
The boy general Joined the CONT
mental army in August, 1777, and in tho
following month he fought at Brandy
wine, where the Stars and Stripes were
first carried into battle. LAFAYETTE
fought as volunteer, and was badly
wounded. After several brilliant ex-
ploits he returned to France in 1779
and was hailed as hero.
During the French revolution he was
an ardent republican and dropped his
title when he was made commander in
chief Of the National Guards. He was
driven from his country by the ex-
tremists, and the Austrians flung him
into dungeon, where he was confined
for five years.
