oLD-TlME STATESMAN FORGOTTEN
Yet Oliver Ellsworth Rendered VALUABLE
: Services to the Nation. - y r "a

Yet Oliver Ellsworth Rendered Valuable
! Services to the Nation. = 49,
/ Why is it that Oliver Ellsworth has
received so little attention from bog
raphers and historians? asks Frank
Gaylord Cook in the April Atlantic.
He was not born in Massachusetts, or
Virginia. In Connecticut, like Penn
sylvania, the historic field has been
meagerly titled. Moreover, the dra-
matte and opportune quality of his
work has been perceived only through
the perspective Of subsequent years.
To negotiate an unpopular convention
for a party just retiring 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 wisdom, .or
sagacity, wisdom and sound good
sense in the conduct Of affairs, for
moderation of temper, and general
ability, it may be doubted if New Eng
land has yet produced his superior"
What he said, as chief Justice of the
United States, to the g'and jury at
Savannah, in 1876, was the aim Of his
life: so let us rear an empire sacred
to the rights of men; AMI commend a.
government of reason to the nations Of
the earth.'' 47

PROFESSOR LEARNED HER NAME.
But the Answer Was Not Exactly what
~ He Exuected.

But the Answer Was Not Exactly what
He Expected. Il 81
An instructor in English in the Shelf
field Scientific school tells the follow
ing story, at the expense of a professor
at Yale. The incident happened at a
faculty tea where Prof. Blank was
adjoining the occasion in his usual ir-
resistible way. The professor, it is
claimed, does not realize just how eff
fective his charming talk and romantic
eyes are. In the course of the after
noon he was introduced to an especial
tly attractive young woman, whose
name, being mumbled in the presenta-
ton, he did not catch. The two re-
paired to a sofa, where Prof. Blank
was 50 thoroughly pleased with his
new acquaintance that he determined
to find out to whom he was talking.
IS You must forgive me- he began,
tactfully, .'but am going to ask you q
personal question. Please do tell me
what your name is. z
The young woman looked at him
with large. timid eyes a moment, and
then whispered sWeetly, Ethel.
