HE AIDED LIBERTY.
But Per His Servloee Beaumatxhale
Received Scant Consideration,
At the corner of the1 Rue Beau
verger and the line de la Halle, in
the city of Havre,' stands a three
storied house of graystone, with a
loping slate roof and high chim
neys topped by picturesque pots of
clay, discolored by time, smoke and
the elements. - .
In this now dilapidated structure
ef slate and granite were, from 1776
to 1792, the offices of Pierre Augus
tin Caron de Beaumarchais, who
spent a fortune during our Revolu
tionary war in providing Americans
with guns, ammunition and supplies
of every description. Indeed, it is
safe to say that without his aid the
colonists could not have carried on
the conflict.
Rochambeau and Lafayette lent
their swords to the United States;
Beaumarchais. sent supplies , to the
value of 5,000,000 francs. It is true
that these material and metallic
sinews of war were not a gift, for
Beaumarchais was a merchant and
sent them to the United States with
the understanding that they should
be paid for in time. That he was
far from pressing in regard to his
bill is proved by the fact that it was
never paid during his life.
After the conclusion of the war
Beaumarchais repeatedly claimed
from the United States the 5,000,-
000 francs which his books and ac
counts showed were due to him. He
received hopeful assurances and of
fers of a compromise in turn until
Alexander Hamilton, who had been
authorized by congress to arrange a
settlement, proposed on a basis of
2,280,000 francs. It is probable
that Beaumarchais would have ac
cepted this could he have obtained
cepted tins could ne nave ourained
it, but he died in 1799 without ever
naving received a penny.
Four years before his
decease,
chagrined by repeated disappoint
ments and blasted hopes, exiled by
the French revolution and living
alone in a Hamburg garret, he
wrote the following letter to the
American people:
"Hamburg, April 10, 1719.
"Americans I have served you
with a zeal that has been unswerv
ing. I have received in return
nothing! I am today your creditor.
Permit me before dying to leave
my daugnter to your care ana
consideration, with the request that
you give her for a dower what you
owe her father. Perhaps, after I
can no longer defend her against
the bitter injustice of the world,
she will be left penniless, and per
haps the hand of Providence, fore
seeing this, has wished by repeated
ly retarding the discharge of your
indebtedness to me to provide for
her after I am gone."
In 1824 and again in 1S35 this
daughter went to America to claim
the amount due.
In the latter year she was offered
800,000 francs ($154,000) and took
it as her sole heritage.
It was all that remained of a
arge fortune spent in the cause of
iberty. Harper's Magazine.
Hia Prefaronco.
Some years ago a bill was before
state legislature to restore the
death penalty for the crime of mur
der. Three of the ablest members
of the house made long speeches in
favor of the bill. When the third
man had finished a young member
on the other side of the chamber
rose and said, "Mr. Speaker, I rise
to a question of privilege." "The
gentleman will state his question of
privilege, said the speaker. "Mr.
Speaker, I wish to inquire of our
riends of the other side of the
house which 1 they think is prefer
able to be hanged or to be talked
to death ?" The question was greet
ed by applause. Then suddenly
some one with a very loud voice
said, "Oh, well, if you're going to
talk we prefer to be hanged!"
A Quick Daoiaion.
They had been sitting in the old
parlor talking on different topics,
and finally the subject changed to
pugilism.
"Yes," remarked the pretty girl,
"father used to be quite a pugilist
in his day."
"Indeed!" remarked the young
man, with much interest.
"Yes, and even now he is exceed
ingly clever with his footwork."
And she still wonders why the
young man called for his hat and
cane and vanished. Argonaut.

ORIGIN OF DOQ DAYS.
THey Have Ne Rotation to Canlnoa or
Thoir Diseaees.
Tho "dog days" are the hottest
of the year, but they have nothing
to do with dogs or with any of their
diseases or sufferings. The "dog
days are so named because in the
latitude of the Mediterranean this
period coincided with that in which
the dog star rose at the same time
as the sun and tbereforo added its
heat to that of our already hot lu
minary. The dog star, Sirius, is the
brightest and in appearance the
largest of the fixed stars. It is
called the dog star because it is seen
in the constellation called Canis
Major. ' According to Ptolemy, this
star used to have a fiery color, red
der than the planet Mars, but is
now altogether white and has cer
tainly been white for many centu
ries.
The heat of the "dog days" really
comes from the gradual heating of
the earth's surface, which gathers
heat and becomes warmer from
groundhog time, Feb. 2, until about
Aug. 5, when it begins gradually to
lose its heat until groundhog time.
Theoretically Dec. 21 ought to
be the coldest of the year, be
cause that is the shortest day of the
year and therefore receives the
least heat and light from the sun.
But experience shows that the cold
est days are generally in February.
In the same way June 21 ought to
be the hottest day of the season, be
cause it is the longest and hence re
ceives the most light and heat. But
the earth continues to accumulate
more heat than it radiates until aft
er the climax or the clog day sea
son, when the cooling effect begins
to predominate over the sun's heat-
j effectj an(j fl0 the net resut is
the cooer VPatheTj which reacheB

Why Men Wear Trousers.
No living man of this age ever
deliberately chose to adopt "trou
sers." He was forced into them and
all other eccentricities of dress by
women. In the very earliest sar
torial experience he is swathed in a
queer bundle of incoherent band
ages by a woman. Later she puts
him in cute dresses so that the
neighbors can't tell him from his
little sister. Still later she cuts off
his curls and puts him in knicker
bockers, and he puts on long pants
when she gives the word, not before.
That is all that man has to do
with wearing trousers. Women
forced him into them in the first
place, and now he is afraid to wear
anything else for fear of making a
sensation. Benton (Mo.) Democrat.
Too Naive.
A New York official said of a pol
itician's excuse: "It was altogether
too ingenuous and naive. It re
minded me of the butler story. A
man advertised for a good butler,
and the next morning a young man
presented himself.
" Have you got references? the
man asked.
" Yes, 6ir.' said the applicant. 1

ences

Press.
On tho Free List.
Some years ago there was a toll-
gate on a plank road leading to
Elmwood cemetery, Detroit. All fu
nerals were allowed to pass along
this road without paying. One day
Dr. Pierce, a well known physician,
while paying his toll, jokingly re
marked to the gatekeeper:
"Considering the benevolent char
acter of our profession, I think you
ought to let us pass freo of charge.
"No, no, doctor," said the gate
keeper. "We can't afford that. You
send too many deadheads through
as it is.
8pongo Fishing.
The home of the sponge fishing
industry is in Greece, and the in
dustry is centuries old, A large
percentage of the Mediterranean
sponges come from the island of
Hydra. Some, however, come from
off the coast of Tripoli. A few
sponges come from the faroff land
of 1 Madagascar. There are two
months in each year when sponge
fishing is practically abandoned.
This is in August and September,
the hurricane months. During the
other ten'months the industry flour

Tho Way They Buy.
When a man goes out to bur a
collar he comes back with a collar
and perhaps a necktie or two. When
a woman starts out to buy a collar
she returns exhausted with a new
silk blouse, a pair of gloves, some
skirt binding, a cake of soap, a pa
per of pins, some window curtains,
a sewing machine and a refrigera
tor. London Tit-Bits. ' ; .
