what sort of fellow is Sergeant
Samuel Woodfill who has just been
proclaimed by General John J. Perish

met by Mrs. Woodhll, whom he mar
ricd here recently She cited him for
most distinguished conduct as hus-

says, and when she was i'll recently
he helped his mother-in-law with all
the housework. His thoughts are all
of his home. He has nine decorations
His wife pins on him what is called the
most distinguished honor of all, to
wit: an H.-model husband"
While his wife was thus honoring
him Woodhll was in Washington to
receive the tribute of grateful nation.
But he would much rather be at home

the telegram ordering him to go to
Washington and receive the honors due
him, he said to his wife: ''I'm tired

When friends urged Woodfill to seek
promotion to a captaincy, the rank in
which he fought in the war, he refused,
A bill was introduced to raise him to a
