tlvo action was taken to Improvo thu
spot.
Soldier of fortune that ho wns, tho
picture of a battlelleld beckoning blni
on to glorious aclilavemeuts could no(
be resisted by Huron Steuben. Details
were rapidly made. Ilcnjamln Frank
lin was In Paris, seeking a man who
would enter tho American army and
establish the order and discipline so
much needed by General Washington.
Dr. Franklin could offer no assurances
of iluanclal support, could not oven
guarantee thu reimbursement of tho
baron's expenses to America. Con
Uneod, howovcr, that ho would suc
ceed In his venture, tho baron em
ployed his private fortune, which wiih
not Inconsiderable at tho time, to thu
payment of his own expenses to Amer
ica, ami later, us the needs of thu army
became Imperative, Impoverishing him
self for tho benellt of tho American
soldiers. Ho made no conditions, and
Imrgalned for no reward. .Mllltarydls
Unction nml active employment wero
tho chief objects of his ambition, tho
Immedlato motives of his conduct.
Upon his arrival u America, In De
cember, 1777, Steuben was greeted
with (ho announcement of the capture
of Iturgoyno and his entire army, and
looked upon It as n good omen. Ho
lost no tlmo In entering upon active
service. Ho not I II cm 1 Congress of his
arrival, expressed his deslro to servo
the country without conditions other
than to bo allowed to gain tho conil
deuce and slmro the fortunes of the
commander of tho forces In tho Held.
Congress accepted tho proffered scr
vices with resolutions of thanks,
and Steuben reported almost Imme
diately to General Washington,
Then began tho work to which Steu
ben devoted his entlro energy. All of
tho abuses and defects that had been
dominant lu tho American army cub
minuted In tho encampment at Valley'
Forge, and showed the need of radical
reforms, Although the country abound,
ed with provisions, n famine existed
In tho camp, Washington had notltled
Congress that something must bo done
or tho troops would havo to disband
to seek subsistence. The men were
starving, wero barefooted nml almost
naked, unablo to take advantage, of tho
many opportunities offere'd to strike ef
fective blows upon the llrltlsh forces,
It was Steuben'a duty to bring order
out of chaos. How It was accomplished
thero Is not space to tell here, but the
results 'soon began to bo manifested.
Steuben was made Inspector general
ami did valiant servlco In tho organiza
tion of tho army. Ho composed a book
of regulations In 1778-70, which was
adopted, and upon which tho present
American army regulations are based.
Hut ho Anally tired of this service uml

tht Held, at tho bend of regiment

NOT A SUCCESS.
Thero wns objection to tills, and ho
threatened to resign. Ho was tlually
given a command and served with dis
tinction during tho trying times, Into In
tho war, when ho was compelled to
sleep on tho ground because ho could
not buy n tent, when the credit of the
country wns exhausted and the affairs
of the coloulsts were In distressing con
dition. Ho served lu the South In 177D
80. and achieved somo distinction In
the Held, In splto of 'the starved and
J poorly equipped condition of his forces,
lie wus appointed to command In Vir
ginia, and remained thero most of tho
tlmo until June, 1781.
At tho close of tho wnr an effort was
made to havo Huron Steuben reim
bursed for his expenditures and paid
for his services to tho nation. Genetal
Washington warmly urged this, nnd
his last letter, before retiring from
public life, wns written to Steuben, nnd
contained the wnnnest expressions of
appreciation of the baron's services to
tho country. Steuben resigned froirl
tho army In Mnrcb. 1784, and a month
later was presented by Congress with
a gold-hllted sword and a vote ol
thanks. Then It required seven years
aotlvo effort for tho baron to secure a
settlement for his services, nnd then
only after It bad been plainly shown
that ho had been reduced to tho ex
tremity of cither starving here or beg
ging In Europe. Tho compensation,
when It was llnally made, was so mis

FIRST SPRING BED.
Jntticn I.lddy Mario It, Using Ililgg-y
florins" In It Coimtructloii.
Tho lirst spring bed over made wns
recently. unearthed from n lot of old
rubbish in n garret nt Wntertown,
N. Y., where It hnd been stowed nwny
many years ago by tho Inventor, Jnmea
I.lddy. It consists of n series of par
allel slats, between each pair being
firmly bolted n buggy spring of tho end
variety, tho mattress having been laid
upon the upper tier of slats.
I.lddy, then n boy, was nn npprentlco
In n blacksmith shop. Apprentices In
those days were expected to furnish
their own beds, bedding, crockery, etc.
Mr. Llddy received $11 a month, nnd
slept on nn old four-poster bedstead
with ropo cording.
One day during thejioon hour tjio ap
prentice snt In it bugy that stood in
fronj: of the shpp, where It had been lert
for repair, and was watching a game
of ball, "three old cat," as'lt was called.
Ho enjoyed tho easy springing motion
of the seat, nnd the 'Idea' occurred to
him that n bed that wnsns oasy and
springy ns the buggy seat wpuld be n
great Improvement on the ropo bed
stead. He hunted up n lot of old end
Jiuggy springs,' lltted them with slats,
and set his contrivance on the fraind of
his fotu -poster. Thereafter he slept
upon his spring bed. after a hard day's
work in ills smithy, and was so reluc
tant to leave bis couch that many a
morning his master, ufter calling 'ills
'prpntlco boy, several times to light a,
lire lu tho forge, would threaten to
smash tho "buggy bed" with a sledge
hammer.
Mr. I.lddy used ills buggy spring bed
for several years, nnd thou contrived
one with spiral wire springs. Whether
there werocontempornueous Inventions
of the spring bed Is not known, but It
U certain that nouo wero brought to
Wntertown for ninny years thereafter,
and I.lddy claims tho Invciltlon, 'al
though It never occurred to him nt the
time thnt he hnd made anything pat

Queen Mary's Consolation.
This following anecdote, ns told by
M. W. Ituyens, Is ns good as new and
as now as good. When Mary Queen
of .Scots stepped loftily up to the block
In tho castlo of Fotherlnghay to bo be
headed she appealed to tho oxecutloncr
for th prlvllego of saying a last word,
and, cousnt 'being given, said, lu thnt
voice whoso charm was Irresistible:
"Many crimes are laid ut my door. It
Is said that I murdered Damley lu or
der thnt I might marry Bothwell, and
that I conspired against Elizabeth. Tho
world baa pronounced me a beautiful
degenerate, aud my own people havo
called me witch, ogre, dragon, virago,
shrew, Tartar, vixen and fury, but ut
tho cud of all, aa I lay my head beneath
tho deadly nx. It Is a supreme conso
lation to know that nobody ever called
mo 'Mamie.' "New York Press.

"So you and Tom were finally mar
ried, eh, NiHl?"
"Yes, but we're not happy."
"Why, how's that I"
"Wo didn't marry each other."
