the cause of American liberty. In

he was friend, counselor and companion

Although the American people in this
generation has not as lively a sense
of appreciation of the great services
OF Lafayette as 1t had in the earlier
years of the republic, there are not
wanting reminders and memorials Of
the French nobleman. He had come
in contact with the people Of all parts
of the country. and by his travels had
left an impress even upon remote ham

families. There are scores of the de-
