I would have had to pay a maid what I was earning, and we had no room for her, so it seemed wiser to do things myself. I like housework, and am a good manager and cook. Husband Plays Sad Role. ""Now my life is simply that of a board-house keeper for two rather exacting old men. Uncle Dan scrupulously pays me a dollar a day; if he goes away for three days to see his married son, he deducts that money. Of course this doesn't pay me, and of course my husband doesn't like finding the bathroom occupied when he gets home; the evening paper scattered about; the comfortable chairs pre-empted. He differs with both the others politically, and they argue and taunt him, and if he holds his tongue they fee] triumphantly that they have scored. They play cribbage by the hour, talking all the time; they are late for meals, slow about everything, fussy, and with long explanations and requests.

I was then 28; Frank 33. At the time my wonderful mother was running a successful small grocery, with my father as assistant. Dad drove the delivery wagon, answered the telephone, and SEEMED to be what she called him, her ‘partner,' but it wasn't long after her death that we discovered that she had been carrying him all along as a liability, not an asset. The business rapidly went to pieces, Dad sold out for half its value, bought a cottage, and said he was going to retire. Dad Definite Handicap. ‘He made only seven payments on the cottage which he lost, and in 11 months had spent the more than $2,000 the business had brought. Then he came to us.

She explains that no parent has the right to ruin the happiness of his children through his own self-indulgence. If the parents are that selfish, Miss orris recommends that they be told-not asked-to live somewhere else. can't go there, even for a visit. He has not one cent of his own. To put him in an institution would break his heart, and also mine. I couldn't bear to tell people where he was. But it does seem like a deadlock as things are now; Frank is constantly annoyed about it, and I hate to have the best husband in the world burdened with my folks. Can you think of a way out?" Get Rid of Him. The answer is that the only way out is a hard one. But I have known many cases in which it has worked. and it will work for you. Immediately, without any argument, put this worthless annoying old man inta an institution. Borrow on his insur ance, if need be, to pay the charges at some partly endowed home, or put him straight into the poor-house That will bring him to his senses for the first time in his life. In one case that I knew an aged man-of-the-sea got a job at the county farm, found that he was a natura]! vegetable gardener, was permitted to sell surplus produce for is own profit, and eventually turned into a useful member of society. In another case an old woman made herself so helpful that the good nuns placed her in the position of head cook, and she was able to send money to a daughter who was in financial difficulties. A man of 64 can be busy and happy if he wants to be, and if your father is persistently critical and miserable despite all that a good daughter can do, he deserves nothing better than the poorhouse. Or better, find some country farm where a woman will board him for $25 or $30 a month. There are many such places. Let her wrestle with his peculiarities. Ask your brother for another $5 and make up the rest yourselves. Don't Discuss It, Do It. Don't discuss it with him at all. Just drive him there and say: "Dad, your things are all in the back of the car. Here's where you get out."' If Uncle Dan decides to go with him, so much the better. But get rid of them both with the same speed that they would have gotten rid of burdensome old relatives some 40 years ago. Old fathers and mothers can be delightful and contributory members of the family; but if they don't choose to be, then surely you and your Frank are not the persons to shoulder the ensuing unpleasantness. It all depends upon you, now, and upon your Capacity to face a few unpleasant hours rather than a lifetime of slavery. Every human being ought to plan for his or her old age, work for it, definitely arrange for it. Only a part of such foresight need be finan. cial; the keeping of friends, the priv. ileges of service, the capacity for earning a modest living are all as GEN. f JOSIAH HARMAR After the adoption of the Constitution and the election of Washington as President, Harmar was kept in command of the army by Gen. Henry Knox, secretary of war. With most of its domestic problems on the way to a solution, Washington's administration was able to turn its attention toward the Indian problem in the West. The wave of emigration that had begun to pour into Kentucky, then seep north into the Ohio country, was bitterly resisted by the Indians. Gen. Arthur St. Clair, governor of the Northwest Territory, had tried in vain to bring peace to the harried frontier by negotiations with the Indians. When these efforts failed, Washington appealed to congress for money enough to carry on a successful campaign against the hostiles. But that body, jittery over the imaginary dangers of a large "standing army," declined to make the necessary appropriations. So when General Harmar set out for the West with an expeditionary force to whip the Indians into submission, it was pitifully inadequate for that task. Although it numbered more than 1,400 men, only 320 of these were regulars and the remainder were militia-three battalions of Virginians, one of Pennsylvanians, and one of mounted light troops from Kentucky. Not only were the majority of these troops wretched stuff for the stern task ahead of them, but their equipment was deplorable. Such was the army that was sent against the hundreds of Wyandot, Shawnee and Miami warpossible at 60 as at 26.

Hardin's men immediately began plundering and it was with great difficulty that their officers brought them under control. On October 19 the general sent a detachment of 300 men under Colonel Hardin, at his request, to locate the encampment of the retreating Indians and bring them to battle. Into an Ambuscade. Five miles from the village, the soldiers came upon an abandoned Indian camp where Hardin deployed his forces but neglected to arrange for any real co-ordination of their movements. Three miles further on they discovered two Indians on foot, who tried to escape in the underbrush, and, throwing caution to the winds, the soldiers plunged forward in pursuit. The result was that Hardin's command was drawn into an ambuscade that had been prepared by Little Turtle whose warriors opened up with a fusillade of musketry that threw the soldiers into confusion. At the first fire of the savages, the militia, with the exception of nine men, fled without firing a shot. These nine joined the little detachment of 30 regulars, led by Captain Armstrong and Ensign Hartshorn, who were standing their ground and returning the savages' fire, which was now concentrated upon them. The nine militiamen were shot down but the regulars made a brave resistance with their bayonets until 22 of the 30 had been killed. The next morning Harmar issued a general order, berating "‘the shameful, cowardly conduct of the militia who ran away and threw' down their arms without scarcely firing a shot.'? Next the commander ordered an advance against the Shawnee village of Chillicothe, to destroy that town and the supplies stored there. This was successfully accomplished but Harmar was so disheartened by the evident demoralization of his army that he decided upon an immediate retreat to Fort Washington. The movement began on the morning of October 21 and by evening the army had gone into camp seven miles southeast of the present city of Fort Wayne. Then Colonel Hardin, still chagrined over his failure two days earlier, went to commander and outlined militiamen and 60 regulars, com- manded by Maj. John P. Wyllys, set out for the Miami villages. They reached their objective soon after sunrise undiscovered by the Indians who were busily engaged in trying to salvage some of their property from the burned Village, A Plan That Failed. The plan of battle was a good one and probably would have succeeded had it not been for an action characteristic of undisciplined troops. Major Hall, with a battalion of militia, was to take a circuitous route to the westward, cross the St. Mary's river at the ford and there, in the rear of the village, wait until they heard the noise of the attack by Major McMullen's battalion Major Fontaine's mounted rifle. men and the regulars under Major Wyllys.

Pattern No.........00., 9( against the guns of Hall's battalion. Hall reached his position unobserved. But one of his men disobeyed orders, fired at a lone Indian and alarmed the village before the other troops were in position. The aroused savages quickly discovered them and Little Turtle, quickly sensing that Hall offered no serious threat, concentrated his attention on the main body of troops. Soon small groups of Indians were seen streaming away to the northeast and McMullen's militia and Fontaine's horsemen, pursued them, leaving Wyllys and the regulars unsupported. Undaunted by this fact, the regulars advanced across the river and attempted to force their way up the river where a large force of Indians opened a hot fire upon them. Wyllys was one of the first killed and the others were driven back into the river which was soon literally choked with the bodies of men and horses. Meanwhile Major Fontaine was hotly engaged with another force of Indians who shot down the major and killed a number of his men. But immediately afterwards the savages were attacked in the rear by Hall's men. There was a short fierce struggle, then Hall's, McMullen's and Fontaine's forces fell back in confusion to the ford across the Maumee where they joined the remnants of the regulars in their retreat. One of the horsemen, who had escaped from the field, bore the news of the new disaster to Harmar who immediately ordered a detachment of militia to march to the aid of their comrades. But, such was the demoralization of the militia that only 30 of them were willing to go.

These two engagements have come down in history as ‘‘Harmar's Defeat.'' Thus, for a century and a half, the name of the first general-in-chief of the United States army and the beginning of our permanent military establishment have been linked with the ideas of failure and disaster. Josiah Harmar, born in Philadelphia on July 25, 1753, had served in the Revolution under Washington and Greene. His war record, although not brilliant, had been an honorable one. In the year 1784 the Continental congress, after having set the strength of the permanent military forces of the new nation at 80 men, asked four states ‘‘to furnish forthwith from their militia, 700 men, to serve for 12 months, unless' sooner. discharged."" Thus was inaugurated our system of depending upon militia for providing the bulk of our armed forces, a system which was repeatedly to prove such a dismal failure in war-time emergencies. Harmar was made lieutenant-colonel commandant and assumed command of the troops on August 12, 1784. His rank made him the senior officer in the service of the United States, so he _ automatically became **general-in-chief.'' ] One of Rare Bean ‘ N THE month of October, 1790, the present site of Fort Wayne, Ind., was the scene of two significant military engagements.
