A PLUCKY WOMAN

Boggs, the defaulting teller OF the
Dover Bank owes his pardon to his
faithful and plucky little wife, who,
amid discouragements, unaided, sought
the President and poured her tale of
sorrow in his ears. Many objections
might be made to the pardon, but all
will rejoice that the courage and 10y
atty of the brave woman have been re-
warded.
None will think less Of the President
that he could not find IT in his heart to
Withstand this woman's appeal She
did not go to him with a delegation Of
senators and congressman; il she had,
her petition might clave been denied.
In that crowded waiting room she stood
while the President passed. There was
no ceremonious introduction: too much
was at stake for that. She took the
President by the elbow and poured out
her heart to him. Nor did she plead
I'm vain. President Lincoln showed
mercy to many who in strict justice
did not deserve It. yet we love him for
It: and il in this President Roosevelt
has shown a weakness, it is a weak
ness that has a large measure of
strength. In certain emergencies how
much stronger is woman than her wise

HOW THE DEVIL ONCE APPEARED
TO A MONK OF LONG AGO

and to win future happiness But. of
them all. the youngest was the most
devout, and his beautiful, beardless face
shone with a light not of this world.
And he it was who conceived the de-
sire to see the devil.
The more he thought on the subject.
the keener became his desire. and he
resolved to double his penanees and
prayer in the hope that his great wish
might be granted. So he tasted and
prayed many days, even until his
strength was almost gone. Then, one
night, as he prayed alone in his bare
cell. he noticed a tiny pale blue flame
flicker in the darkest corner He could
not take his eye off it, and. as he
looked. the flame grew in size until
its radiance flooded the whole cell.
AS the monk trembled and gazed. the
light suddenly took form and he be-
held a man, beautiful almost beyond
description. He was tall and perfect
ly proportioned. and his face was as
fair as that of an angel. Golden hair
clustered in soft curls about a broad.
noble brow. and deep blue eyes gazed
at the monk with the open candor and
innocence of a child. The exquisitely
curved lips parted and in the sweetest,
most alluring accents ever heard came
the query:
What wouldst thou have with me.
mortal? Why hast thou summoned
me here?'
So great was the charm of the being
that the young monk felt his whole
heart go out to him. He felt an al
most irresistible desire to throw him-
self at his feet. Then came quick
recollections. and, with a groan and
prayer for strength to resist tempta-
tion. he flung himself PROSTATE upon
the floor. He prayed as he never had
prayed before. Then. lifting his eyes,
he witnessed a marvellous thing. There
was sharp report, the dazzling blue
light faded. and there was only

monk of his visitor from another

Ever so many years ago the devil
had habit of appearing to people.
He appeared so often. in fact, that the
people sort of became accustomed TO
him and even entered into compacts
with him. as in the case of old Dr.
Faustus and Ferdinand. the German
spendthrift prince, for instance.
His satanic majesty appears in so
many and so varied forms these days
days that he is accepted quite as a
matter Of course. and very little is
thought Of his advent However, did
he but take a definite shape. such as
he assumed to Faust and Ferdinand,
what a thing it would be for a satiated
reading public and how the yellow
journals would rejoice.
The general and modern conception
Of the devil is the smiling, sardonic,
scarlet tempter, of Morrison creation.
But. according to an old, old legend,
this is a popular fallacy. The legend
was found by little girl once in a
library of an English scholar, a gradu-
ate OF Oxford who spent his last days
in weary exile, far from his native
shores. The one bright spot in his
bleak life was this little girl, who by
him was given the privilege of his IL
brary In rummaging Through it one
day, she came across the legend, within
in manuscript and hidden between
the covers of great volume, yellow
with age. Both the exile and the little
girl have been gathered to their fathers
but the legend lives in the memory OF
one to whom the little girl, then grown
to womanhood. told it. In effect it
was:
Long, long years ago, when America
was undreamed of, and proud Spain
was queen of the world, in a certain
monasery within her borders

nowned for their goodness and

which were so common during the last

a condition confronting the com

TO certain Of our interests.

CONvENTION HISTORY

taining article on the New Powers of
the National Committee The re-
markable influence of the chairman is
strikingly set forth The writer men
tions an instance which Is yet fresh
in our minds. and which is OF interest
TO all Delawareans. He says:
Al Philadelphia, in 1900, Mr.. Ad-
dicks. OF Delaware, was admitted as
regular. This was after having been
contemptuously thrown out Of the
next preceding convention, and haV-
ing been steadily denounced by the
leading Republican newspapers as a
man who was trying to burglarize
his way intogood party standingand
go into the United States Senate.
How did this hated and despised man
suddenly win recognition as a regu-
lar lAddicksl leader In Delaware?
He quietly made his peace and made
his terms with Chairman Hanna.
That gentleman first put the ar
rangemomt through the Committee
on Credentials. and then gave the
order to his fuglemen i'm the cOnven-
tion to prevent any open protest. II
was a fne'if audaclOus illustration OF
what the party chairman can do.

of what occurred. although the fact

NEWSPAPER OPINION
President and Appointments

From the Now York Evening Post
Our Washington correspondent sets
forth the facts as to the removal of
the Internal Revenue Collector in
Philadelphia, upon which we comment
ed last week. He says that there Is no
foundation for the story that the
President had justified his action on
the ground that the incumbent had
bolted the Regular Republican ticket
at the recent municipal election, and
that officials must be not only good
men. but stalwart Republicans. What
Mr. Roosevelt does hold is that an ap-
Dointee must always be man who is
acceptable to the Republican senators
of his State-a rule which, II is hardly
necessary to say, we do not approve of.
Moreover. the reason for the Collectors S
removal was not the fact that he had
voted a bolting ticket, but that he had
taken part in the campaign. appearing
on the stump upon one occasion This
was In defiance of a warning which he
bad received from Washington, that
such activity was incompatible with
tha Administration policy as to the
civil service A similar warning was
