A writer in the Boston Transcript
says that the late General Francis
A. Walker was once travelling in a
railway train and was much annoy
ed by the chatter of two small poll
ticians, who were loudly gloating
over a victory which their party
had gained locally a few days be-
fore. One of them presently turned
to General Walker and remarked in
aswaggering manner, "Straws show
which way the wind blows, eha''
There is another old proverb
about straws," suggested Mr.. Walk
er.

As sad was as anb
With all lovers pain,
Till walked that day with Jenny
With Jenny, in the rain;
Past fresh ming fields OF clover
And sweet with ripening grain,
And blossoms blowing over,
With Jenny, in the raini
The sillren shade above her,
The violets at her feet,
The raindrops seemed to love her
And fell in music sweet.
And, oh, the south wind blowing
In many glad refrain,
When love and were going
With Jenny, in the rainl
Each breeze that rippled past her
Stole kisses ON the way,
The rain fell never faster
That beat my heart that day.
And, oh, the fields of clover,
And, oh, the golden grainl
For love came home-the rover
With Jenny, in the rainl

CHIEF JUSTICES.


/ y %@-oAA ccW A%on nave 11eius
The Office of the chief Justice Of
the supreme court of the United
States was established by the consti-
tuition concurrently with the office
OF president, but while the presiden-
cy has been open to all native born
citizens above the age of 35 the
Office of chief justice of the supreme
court, bestowed usually upon men
of mature if not advanced years,
has been held in fact b. seven per-
sons only since the foundation of the
government. There have been more
than three times as many presidents.
John Jay of New York was the
first chief justice of the supreme
court. He was appointed by Wash
ington in 17S9 Judge Jay was at
that time only A years of age.
When he attained the age Of so, he
resigned and retired to private life.
He died "a years later-in 1929. The
second of the supreme court chief
justices was John Ellsworth of Con
necticut. He was 81 years of age
when appointed and served until
1901, when he resigned, designations
from public Office being somewhat
more frequent at that time than
now. His successor was John Mar
shall of Virginia, who was 46 years
of age when he assumed this post |
by appointment of President John
Adams. He held it uninterruptedly
for "a years, until his death, in 1885.
Andrew Jackson appointed his sue
cessor, Roger B. Taney of Mary
land, who held the Office until his
death, in 1854. Judge Taney was SO
years of age when appointed and 81
at the time of his death. No chief
justice of the supreme court perhaps
had more intricate questions to de-
termine or to vote upon in that tri-
bunal than did Judge Taney, and
his tenure and that of Chief Justice
Marshall stretch over nearly one
half of the history of the United
States as nation. Chief Justice
Taney's successor was Salmon P.
Chase of Ohio, who had previously
been secretary of the treasury, and
was 56 years of age when appointed.
He served for nine years, dying in
1878, Mr.. Chase was appointed by
Abraham Lincoln, and it is a part of
5he history of their day that Mr..
Chase was himself a candidate for
he presidency and had hoped to de-
eat Mr.. Lincoln for denomination
md to succeed him, and later, in
1868, it is known that Mr.. Chase
vas candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency,
hough he had been one of the
ounders of the Republican party.
Jhief Justice Chase was succeeded
n 1873 by President Grants ap-
'ointment of another Ohio man,
dorrison R. Waite, who was 81
cars of age when appointed and
erved until 1888, when he was sue
eeded by the present chief justice,
felville w. Fuller, appointed by
resident Cleveland. Mr.. Fuller is
native of Maine. He was, when
55 years of age. He is
he seventh of the chief justices of q
be supreme court.
In addition to the chief justices
Tho have served, several men have
cen nominated for the office but re-
ected by the senate, which has con-
rmatory power. The Office of chief ]
lstice is by many citizens more
ighly coveted than that of the
The labor is less, the
esponsibility much smaller, the
'nure longer and the honor an ex-
tied one.-New York Sun.
