She is tall and stntucsquc and has an

Samuel Rogers. the poet whose

read and quoted in England and
America, was born in London LAG
years ago today. He died in the Brit

lifetime he accumulated a fortune as
Ia banker and spent most of it in aid
i2g worthy literary men
To be financier and a poet at the
same time is feat not without diff
Guilty. but Rogers accomplished it. His
greatest poetical work has a charm of
classics, and the money he amassed
and so generously distributed started
many an impecunious man of letters
on the highway to fame.
In his home in ST. James place all
the famous men of England and all
the visitors from other countries en-
joyed the generous hospitality of the
banker-pOet and listened to the stories
he could tell, that were full of the
vivid charm of his personality. When
Mr. Rogers began to grow old ald
was confined to his home friends made
this their rendezvous, and they called
him lovingly the Ancient Bard
The collections that were the delight;
of Mr. Rogers heart filled his house
from top to bottom. He had works of

In the dining room were Raphaels and
Corregios, and on each side OF the

that he spent $4,000 in illustrating

Mr. Rogers never married He had
fine and courtly manners and as he
grew in years loved to tell over and

No one appreciates the friendship OF
her own sex, however, more than does
a widow: but, knowing from expert
ence that she will get scant justice
from them, she naturally turns Tor
sympathy to men-and usually gets it.
Unfortunately, mans clearness OF
vision is more or less muddled by con-

as he has a keen horror of ridicule, he
fails to take I'D cudgels for the wild

Il must not get impatient" he told
hundreds and thousands of people there
ahead of me waiting for their turn to
be made young again. L must possess

The next day he reached the mill.
And to his wonderment there were no
crowds thronging about it as he had
expected, no guards and attendants no
huge building, no excitement only a
crumbling little mill and an old woman
at the gate.
Yes, this was the mill of youth, she
answered his query. Yes, she was the
attendant. When could he be made
young? At once if he wished. All he
need do was to be ground over again.
He would come out young and strong.
Hardly daring to believe. he followed
the woman towards the mill. On the
steps she paused. "Oh, one thing more, y
she said There is one condition to
which you must submit. You must
promise to do everything in your life
over again just as you did the first
time"
Il thought it vas too good to be
true" he said.
And like all the rest he left the old
woman at the gate and went away still

had started out to steal and get ar

That would be petty larceny-the is

was too heavy to handle. At last on
the sidewalk in front of an electric
supply house he found little dynamo
with a price tag of $40. He picked it
up and walked up and down before
the store.
In quarter of an hour a clerk came
out, and passing Graham, went around
the corner. While Graham waited for
him to come back the dynamo got so
heavy that he had to set it down. Fin

that he was observed Graham took
up the dynamo and started away
Hey. where'd you get that?' came

with great relief. And they started for

offered to plead guilty. but the court
rejected the plea and turned him over
