ALIFEDEVOTED TO CHECKERS
REMARKABLE CAREER OF JAMES WYL-
LIE. OF SCOTLAND

The most famous checker-player In the world Is
James Wyllie Scotchman, now In his seventy
sixth year, who has been playing for "a shuen
game We KEN" nearly sixty years. and is still able
to beat almost everybody. He was famous as
player in Scotland when he was only boy, and
was first called the Herd Ladde." His peculiar
title has caused thousands Of people TO believe that
Wyllie was once a shepherd.
Wyie was born in the Pierce Hill Barracks. near
Edinburgh In March. 1920, his father being at the
time a sergeant-major In the Scots Grays. The
earliest recollections OF the old man are those OF
life at the barracks. He was apprentfced to
weaver in Kmarnock Ayrshire, when mere boy,
but his remarkable ability in draughs was recog
nzed In time TO prevent him from learning the
weaver's trade. When he was fifteen years old he
had beaten everybod who could be induced to play
the game with him in Kimarnock Mr.. Porteus.

natural that the wives of public men should play
in London a more important part and WELD
greater influence than in most other capitals
If their husbands control and direct politics it
is they who control and direct society and mas
much as the latter influences political life and
is bound up therein. so likewise do these feminine
leaders influence and. perhaps unconsciously. d.
rect their husbands. Under the circumstances
1t may be well to cast rapid glance at the
better halves Of the members Of the new Sails

THE MARCHIONESS OF LANSDOWNE.
In the Warehouses of Lansdowne. wife OF the
Secretary Of State for War. the readers OF LORD
Beaconsfelds novels may recognize the original
OF the Lady Corysande who figures in "Lothair.
She married to Lord Lansdowne at west
minister Abbey on the very day that her sister
Albertha was united to the Marquis of Bland
ford who subsequently became Duke Of MARI
borough. Curously enough. Lord Lansdowne
was at the time reputed dull and as having no
future. whereas great things were prophesed
for his brother-in-law. the brilliant clever ana
dashng Lord Blandford Yet the very one OF
the acknowledgements whose prospects appeared
so very bright and promising has gone down
to an early and dishonored grave after HE
which converted his name into by-word ana
synonyme for everything that was evil. while
the dull and heavy-wtted Lord Lansdowe. after
figuring In turn GovernOr-General of canada
and Viceroy Of India. has now become Knight
Of the Garter and Cabinet Minister in what
is admittedly the strongest Administi alton that
has held office since the beginning Of the century.
Lady Lansdowne has never had any reason 10
regret her choice. for her domestic happiness
has been of the most uncouded character:
whereas her poor sister the Marchioness OF
Blandford. after submitting for n long time to
her husbands dissipated habits. was compelled.
at length. by his horrible and incredible cruelty.
to secure a divorce.

Philadelphia December 18.-Prof.
John Bach McMaster, well-known
American historian, Lsaid tonight: 'sMr.
Clsveland's message is timely and sound
in every particular. The day has come
when the Monroe doctrine, which might
more properly be called the American
doctrine" should either be enforced or
abandoned.
Lord Salisbury's claim that the doc
trine was for a particular time and a par
ticular purpose is not unable. Before
Monroe wrote his message of DECEMBER
IS, he sent to Jefferson the Canning
Rush correspondence, in which England
requested the United States to join her
in declaration that the Holy Alliues,
who had Just put down constitutional
government in Spain, should not be al
lowed TO meddle in the affairs of the
south American republics
''In his answer jefferson said: The
question presented by the letters you
have sent me is the most momentous
which has ever oeen offered to my con-
temptation since that of independence.
That rnaoe us a nation. This sets our
compass and points the course which we
are to steer through the ocean of time
opening on u.s.
"ThiS is the correct view. The doc
triae was not for 1928, but for all time.
Mt is applicable to the state of things in
which we live at the present day Mon
roe not only announced doctrine, but
applied it at the same time. Mr.. Cleve-
land upholds the doctrine aud makes an
other application. This applications are
different but the doctrine is the same.'
