From Robert c. Winthrop

A MOTHER ostonian, Robert G. Winthrop,
n Speaker of the House and Senator, in
scr1bed himself not so modestly; but improved
the occasion in burst of ancestor worship:
Your wish, dear madam, is fulfilled
Lo on the following page.
A name which is an ornament
To our country and our age
The grandsire's sword at Bunker Hill
Was drawn in freedoms cause;
The fathers wise and learned tongue,
Expounded freemens laws;
The magic genius of the son,
All ages must admire.
While Isabella S grace can charm
Or Cortes' courage FIRE.
Richard H. Wilde of Georgia, poet, author,
and member of Congress, contributed speci-
men of Celtic verse.
Next comes a Northern poet, the gallantry
of whose lines may well put to the blush the
much boosted chivalry of the Southland:
Let names of warriors and of sages
On History's leaf eternal be;
A few brief years on Beautys pages
Are worth their immortality.
This volume of the heart permits me
To brave Oblivion's whitening power,
Till she whose name it bears forgets me
And what were fame beyond that hour?
"FITz-GREENE HALLECK.
New York, November, 1928"
William H. Prescott, the historian, Welded
his tribute of gallantry with something like a
protest:
"To take the pen when there is naught to tell,
No deeds of human glory,
Would prove me recreant to the muse l serve,
The muse of History.
Yet if | venture with hand SO rash
To stain the page of beauty
It's thou commanded, and thus obey
To obey is but my duty.
April, 1916. VIM. H. PRESCOTT"

Edward Everett's Verse

FROM Edward Everett, orator, theologian,
l. Senator and Secretary of State:I
Youth and its joys will pass away,
And beauty fade and strength decay;
Fond hopes will into sadness turn
And high ambition cease to burn
But honor in the faithful heart
Shall longest glow and last depart;
And ere its noble spark is fled
Still be my pulse and cold my bed"
One of the most interesting autographs in
this book to all Americans is that from General
Bernard, aide-de-camp to Napoleon at the
Battle of Waterloo, and Secretary of War in
the Ministry of Louis Philippe:
DEAR MADAME.-You may travel as much
as YOU please over the world, you will not find
people as hospitable as your own. Not salts
fed with having given me an asylum on your
shores, you deign to tender to my name an
honorable place among your distinguished
friends. Ny name will at least stand in your
album as testimony of my gratitude to your
country. and of the sentiments of elevation
and high regard offered to you, madame, by
your most obedient and respectful servant,
Washington, July. 1890. BERNARD"

What Edward Livingston Wrote

A GAIN, in this old volume, we have an oppor-
n tunity to compare the gallant offerings of
two other eminent jurists, Edward Livingston of
Louisiana and Daniel Webster. Livingston
wrote to Mrs. Tayloe in the following strain:
" Knowing that your requests are commands
permit me to observe, madam that they should
be made with more discrimination What
have | done that | should be forced thus to
blaZon the insignihcanCe of my name by asso
ciating it with those which adorn the pages
of your book as we'll as those of your country's
history? 1t is an abuse of power for which |
will have my revenge, and at the same time
prevent its exercise in future. | will insert in
criminal code am preparing for the district
in which you have set this evil example, a
clause to the following effect:
g If any lady shall abuse the influence she
has acquired by her beauty, talent grace, &C
complishments, and worth, SO as to induce
any well meaning obscure man to think his
name worthy of being remembered any block
head to believe himself man of genius any
dull proser to imagine he is poet; or shall
seduce any sage philosopher into the writing
of tritiing nonsense, or any grave magistrate
or statesman into an unsuccessful attempt at
gallantry or wit, the person SO offending shall

punishment shall | annex to this crime?
Il have discovered one rather severe, per-
haps, but quite analogous to the offense:
She shall, for every infraction of this law, be
condemned to read the page on which the
proof is inscribed twice over, without yawning
at its stupidity or laughing at its folly
Il am grieved, madam, that feeling of in
jury has obliged me to begin my letter with
complaints. and regard for justice to fill it
with denunciation of penalties. Permit me
to close it with sincere profession of the high
est esteem, admiration and respect
EDWARD LIVINGSTON.
Washington, May, 1890"
Daniel Webster wrote these modest lines
in my lady's album:
my DEAR MADAM comply with your
request, and return your volume with name
which cannot have the vanity to believe will
in the slightest degree enhance its value. am,
with regard, Your most obedient servant,

Annie Riley Hale

In like manner, it is interesting to compare
the souvenir lines of two great Generals whose
names are inwrought with American history
General Lafayette, on board the Brandywine
under sail, September g. 1925, wrote to Mrs
Tayloe:
81 cannot leave this beloved shore, dear
madam, without expressing my acknowledge
ments for the fine present you have sent to
my daughter. The circumstance of the collec-
ton in the vicinity of Troy mingles with the
name of the donator to make it highly valua-
Bile. Remember me to my friends particularly
to Mr.. Tayloe. ACCEPT, dear madam. the CRATE
full thanks and affectfonate good wishes of
your old friend, LA FAYETTE."
Thus, General Scott. in January, 1890:
"A distinguished fair, with prudential care.
To wrest a friend from ruthless Time,
Has assigned a place his poor hand to trace
In heavy prose or trifing rhyme.
THUS though the record of his sheathed sword
soon should perish or be forgot,
This protected page shall outlive the age,
And save the name of
WINFIELD ScoTr."
Harrison Gray Otis, member of Congress
and Senator from Boston, called the Northern
Chesterfield of his day, indited the following
"Obedient to thy kind commands,
All cannot act their parts;
The old may dare to show their hands.
But not the young-their hearts.

II Vii Exc haS-been quite revival OF inter-
i est in the queer old colonial mansion in
Washington known at the " Octagon, now
owned by the American Institute of Architects.
1t was built more than century ago by the
Tayloe family of Mount Airy, Virginia, and in
the recent octagon renaissance. some one TN
earthed an ancient volume containing extracts
from the autograph album of Mrs. Ben amin
Ogle Tayloe, who was the daughter of John
Dickinson of New York.
Some of the inscriptions on those yellowed
pages very interesting, even when the ap-
pended signatures are enveloped in shelter
ing obscurity.
The scholarly Puritan President John Quin-
cy Adams, responded to the request tor an
autograph in poem of eleven stanzas, EN-
bodying somewhat turgid homily on life and
duty, beginning:
Doth not this volume to the mind portray
Of human life an emblems just and true?
Departed time the written sheets display;
The spotless pages future days foreshew."
Andrew Jackson's Tribute
THIS is only what one would expect from
L John Quincy Adams but the following pious
ejaculation from his fiery antagonist. Andrew
Jackson-namfestly an extract from Watts
hymn books little startling and upsetting
to one preconceived notion of the writer:
Let wisdom all my actions guide,
And let my God with me reside.
No wicked thing shall dwell with me
Which may provoke thy jealousy.
Andrew Jackson. June, 1890"
William Writ, the gifted Marylander. prose-
cutor of Aaron Burr, and United States Attor
ney General under Monroe and John Quincy
Adams, inscribed himself in rather stited bad
image, rendered in legal technicalities.
In sharp contrast to his studied persihage
is the short, dignifed note of another famous
lawyer, Chief Justice Marshall:
DEAR MADAM am too much fattered
by your request, and feel too strongly the i'm
pressions made while had the pleasure to be
received as the friend of Colonel Tayloe, not
to comply with it. Whatever cause may re-
strain me from attempting to furnish any
thing worthy of place in your album, nothing
can prevent my assuring you that l am, with
great and respectful regard and esteem, your
obedient servant, J. MARSHALL.

$4,000 A YEAR FOR BRYCE.

The embassy at Washington is now
the best paid post in the British Dip
lomatic service, the salary Of the
ambassador having been raised with
the appointment Of James Bryce to
$4,000 a year.
Paris, up to the present, has been
considered the best post in the SER
vice. 1t pays only $4,000. Washing
ton has heretofore ranked with ST.
Petersburg in the matter of salary,
but the great Importance attached to
the post by the British government
was first evidenced by the appoint

and is now shown in the large aug
mentation of the pay attached there
to.

CHAPTER XIII.

- 1ALDOS started off at once for
TX! the castle, his heart singing.
SHbs In the darkness Of the night
he kissed the message which
had come to him from 'fer highness. !"
The envelope had been closed with the
oficial seal of Yetive, princess OF
Graustark, and was sacred to the eyes
Of any one save the man to whom it
was directed. The words it contained
were burned deep In his brain:
You are ordered to report for duty in
the castle Come at once. Her highness
has sent an official command to Colonei
Qu;nnox. Count Marlanx has been here.
You are not expected to desert until you
nave seen me. There is an underground
passage somewhere. 3.
Baldos went alone and swiftly. The
note to Colonel QuinnoX had been i'm
perctive. He was to serve as an inner
gard until further orders. Some one.
1t was reported, had tried to enter Miss
Calhoun's room from the outside dur
ing the rainstorm Of the previous night,
and a special guard was to be station
ed near the door. All Of this was un-
known to Baldos, but he did not ask
for any explanations.
he was halfway to the castle when
the sharp report Of gun startled
him. A bullet whizzed close to his ear!
Baldos broke into crouching run, but
did not change his course. He knew
that the shot was intended for him and
that it's mission was to prevent him
from reaching the castle. The attend
ants at the castle door admitted him,
panting and excited, and he was taken
Immediately to the enchanted boudoir
Of the princess, which but few men
were fortunate enough to enter. There
were three women IN the room.

said he, bowing loW before the real
princess, with slni'e upon his flushed
face.

He is Said to Have Wrested Control
;. of the Road From the GouIds.
Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 1s.-That E.
H. Hartman has ousted Mr. Gould,
and obtained control of the 1,451
miles Of the Cotton Belt system is the
statement Of al official of the system,
who arrived at Memphis today from
Pine Bluff, the Arkansas headquarters
Of the Cotton Belt This official says
that the news went direct from New
York to Pine Bluff Sunday night. The
statement gains credit from the
known fact that Mr.. Gould has not
owned a controlling interest in the
system, but has Influenced enougn
stock to give him, with his own hole
ings, SO per cent. This outside stock,
hitherto favoring Gould, is now, &C
cording to the official quoted, at Har-
riman's back.
The reported acquisition gives the
Hartman roads an air line from Chi
cago and st. Louis to Galveston, ope-
rating over the Illinois Central via
Cairo and connecting there by trans
fer across the Mississippi river and
also by the new bridge at Thebes, Ill,
to the Cotton Belt. Mr. Hartman
will be in position to make Jhings
exceedingly interesting for the Texas
lines of the Goulds, likewise, as the
Cotton Belt system has an important
business at Fort Worth, with valuable
connections reaching far away to the
northwest, and he can make a bid for
freight for the Gulf and the south
west that has heretofore been ham
died via Houston and via Ell Paso by
the Gould lines, to say nothing Of sea-
going and Mexican freights.
The report has credit in local rail
road circles and has an importont
bearing for Memphis On the question
whether the Goulds Will still allow
the eo-mile trackage agreement hith-
erto existing for Cotton Belt trains
over the Iron Mountain to Fair Oaks,
Ark. Should the Iron Mountain re-.
fuse to continue this arrangement It
is probable that the Cotton Belt may
run in and out over the Rock Island
via Brinkley, Ark, an even shorter
route.
