a Forgotten Statesman.

Why is it that Oliver Ellsworth has
received so little attention from biog-
raphers and historians? asks Frank
Gaylord Cook In The Atlantic He was
not born In Massachusetts or Virginia.
In Connecticut, like Pennsylvania, the
historic field has been meagerly titled.
Moreover, the dramatic and opportune
quality of his work has been perceived
only through the perspective of subse-
quent years. To negotiate an unpop-
ular convention for party just retir-
ing from Office in defeat and ignominy
Is not conducive to immediate fame.
Nevertheless he has not been wholly
overlooked by subsequent statesmen.
Webster said of him: For strength of
reason, for sagacity. wisdom and sound
good sense in the conduct of affairs, for
moderation of temper and general abil-
ity, 1t may be doubted if New England
has yet produced his superior"
What he said as chief justice of the
United States to the grand jury at Sa-
vannah in 1916 was the aim of his life,

rights of men and commend a govern
ment of reason to the nations of the

business, diamond merchant said:

a ball given in 1891 in celebration of
Queen Victoria's birthday:

WHAT MOVED TIE poGf
a Remarkable Story of Canine In
telIircnce and Affection.

Remarkable Story of Canine In
teiliGcnce and Affection.
Among the tales told of the intelli-
gence aud affection of our canine
friends by Mrs. Sarah X Bolton In her
book, Our Devoted Friend, the Dog, !"
is the story of Dan, deerhound owned
by Mr.. l.. C. Meachamp of Homer, La.
Mr.. Meachamp was one day going on
a squirrel hunt and. not wishing Dan
to accompany him, tied the dog to a
post by a rope. Dan whined and beg
ged, but finding his master obdurate he
at last lay down quietly before his
kennel.
1t was growing dusk and time for
the hunter to return, when Mrs. Mea-
champ was suddenly disturbed by the
whining and barking of the dog, who
had been quiet all day up to that time.
She spoke TO the dog, but instead of
being pacified at this attention he re-
doubled his exertions and broke the
rope which held him. Then he bounded
away, over the fence and into the
woods.
He was gone perhaps half an hour
when he came running back, painting
and almost GREATNESS, with his mas
ter's hat in his mouth.
Mrs. Meachamp became at once
alarmed, and, calling her son, they set
off to find the missing man, Dan all
the time bounding ahead and leading
the way. At length they came upon
Mr.. Meachamp lying helpless in the
woods. where he had fallen into little
ditch and broken his leg.
The accident happened, as nearly as
could be reekoned, at the moment
when the dog began to show his I'M
easiness. That he should have had
knowledge of the accident seems in
credible, but his master firmly be-
lieves that he did know it and that it
was because he knew it that he was so
anxious to get away.

DOUBLED THE COLLECTION

A ScOfcbmanss scheme For Increas-
Ing the Church Contribution.
IN small town in England there is a
rich congregation which is not charac-
terized by lavish liberality. Time after
time the minister had vainly appealed
to his people to contribute more gener-
ously to the funds of the church. The
members would indeed give something,
but it was nearly always the smallest
silver coin of the realm that was plac-
ed on the plate. A shrewd Scotchman
who had recently come to the place and
Joined the church was not long in no.
ticing this state of affairs, and a RENE
dy soon suggested itself to his practical
mind.
"Tll tell you what" he said to one of
the officials, "lf you max me treasurer
I'll engage to double the collection in
three months"
His offer was promptly accepted, and,
sure enough, the collections began to
increase until by the time he had stat
cd they were nearly twice as much as
formerly.
"How have you managed it, Mr..
Sandymani" said the pastor to him one
day.
Its a great secret" returned the
canny Scot, "but I'll tell you in conf
dence. The folk, l saw, mostly gave
threepenny bits. Weel, when got the

AS narrated by Edward Walford in
his Greater London" Frederick,
prince of Wales, sometimes visited Al
exander Pope at his villa. On one occa-
sion when the prince was on a visit
Pope, after expressing the most dutiful
professions of attachment, gave his
royal highness an opportunity Of OBJ
serving very shrewdly that his Che
poet's) love for princes was inconsist-
ent with his dislike for kings, since
princes may in time become kings. Said
his royal highness:
MIR. Pope, l hear You don't like
princes"
''Sir, beg your pardon"
"Well, then. you don't like kings"
"Sir, must own that like the lion
best before his claws are grown"

THE WORD PARADISE.
Its Earliest Meaning Was nm In.
closed Pleasure Ground.

Its Earliest Meaning Was nm Im-
closed Pleasure Ground.
The earliest meaning of the word
paradise appears to have been q walled
in pleasure ground. In the Hebrew it
was 'perdes," in the Persian 'ferdus,"
and from one or other of these the
Greeks appear to have derived the
word "paradeisos," from which we get
our own word. We also know that the
ancient monarchs of Chaldea and AS
syria and also of Egypt constructed vast
Enclosures of forest land for the preser-
gation of wild animals kept for hunt
ing purposes, and these were also call
ed paradises. Thus, the historical
meaning of the word comes to this A
space protected from all incursion from
the outer world, in which those who
were privileged to enter were able to
indulge in such pleasures as pleased
their fancy.
1t is easy to see the translation from
the material to the spiritual meaning,
paradise in the latter sense meaning
the place of the elect or chosen. This
is strikingly borne out by the fact that
the favorite battlecry of the Moslems,
whose firm belief it is that those who
die fighting go straight to heaven, was
always Eight! Fight! Paradisei Para
disc" And the strong probability is
that they got the word from the Per-
sian campaigns of the eighth century.
The use of the word in its present form
in the New Testament is of Greek
origin, and its description as applied
to the garden of Eden is probably of
Hebrew origin, dating from the period
of the captivity.
