So wrote a first-class genius and
third-class scoundrel, Lord Byron. He
was very pitiable sort of blackguard

tried to make people think. Yet bad

serve decent mems contempt. He
was tremendously vain. Not SO vain
of his poetry, which was great, as of
the petty, melodramatic feats that
reused more laughter than applause.
Byron's father was a dissolute,
worthless army officer His mother
was a gambler, a shrew and little
better than her spendthrift husband.
The couple quarreled and separated.
The wife took her little boy and went
to live in Scotland on an income of
$3.50 year. Byron's father died soon
afterward. On the death of his great
uncle, in 1898, the ten-year-old lad sue
ceeded to the latter's title and estates
becoming Lord Byron. His days OF
bitter poverty were over, but their
mark never wholly left him.
Byron had been lame from birth.
Part of the time his mother over
whelmed him with caresses and love
words. At other times she would
scream at him, curse him for "a lame
brat" and hurl books at his head. 1t
was a bitter childhood for the sensi-
tive, afflicted youngster. He never
forgot it. Nor did he forgive the
mother who made him SO miserable.
He hated her to the day of his death.
Byron began writing poetry while
he was a mere schoolboy. 1t was an
artificial, morbid era in English litera-
ture, and Byron was just the sort of
writer to catch the publics fancy.

say which of these three qualities did
most for him.
John Churchill-"Handsom Jack"
as he was nicknamed-came of an old,
impoverished family He was born
in 1850, had almost no early education
and became page to the duke OF York
(afterward James H.. Charles H., the
duke of York's brother, was king of
England and ruled a dissolute court,
where wit and beauty brought far
higher rewards than did mere merit.
He soon worked his way into the
duke of York's favor and received
from him commission in the army.
AS soldier he showed both valor and
martial skill. But it is doubtful If
he would have risen as rapidly as he
did were it not for the very shady
means he employed for his own ad-
vancement. His good looks and his
INSCRIPTIONS conduct brought him
money and swift promotion. He
strengthened his position by marrying
Sarah Jennings, a woman much of
his own sort. and even more ambi-
tious.
James II. came to the throne in
1885, and his favorite courtier,
Churchill, was made general and a
baron. Handsome Jack" owed every
thing to James. Yet, when the latter
was attacked by William Prince of Or
ange, who claimed the English crown,
Churchill quickly saw that William
would be the victor, and decided to
throw his fortunes with him. So,
when James Churchill calmly went
over to the enemy and took the army
with him. James deserted. fled to
France and the Prince of Orange be-
came king William III. of England.
Churchill gained new honors by this

James might possibly regain his lost
crown. Churchill, in order to make
certain of being on the winning side,
served with William openly and kept

nation of the poet Shelley and at last
decided to become a military hero.
Greece was fighting for independ-
ence against her Turkish oppressors.
Byron hurried to Missolonghi and
placed his sword and life at the serv-
ice of the Greeks. 1t seemed to him
fine thing for poet to draw blade
in defense of the Ancient Land of Po-
etry The idea struck Byron as a
bit of genuine inspiration. He is even
said to have had vague hopes OF be-

But he found that drilling, march

this by drinking vinegar and taking
long rides. The result was not what
he had hoped. In fact he fell i'll.

reputation.
William died childless, and at his
death the English crown went to
James youngest daughter, Anne.
Churchill had foreseen this, and had
made his plans accordingly. He had
managed to install his clever wife as
Anne's chief lady-in-waiting and to
win for himself the new queens trust
and admiration. Anne-stupid, weak,
good natured-was the willing and
meek slave of the imperious Lady

He also gained himself a name for
humanity, during these wars, in spite
of the fact that he burned more than
800 towns, villages and castles in
Germany alone
Flushed with triumph, he came back
to England. Foreign governments
granted him high honors. Queen Anne
made him duke of Marlborough and
lavished priceless gifts on him.
Among other presents from her he re-

(named for one of his victories) and
castle was built there for him at

When is a girl old enough to marry ?
When she has sense enough to know that
she honestly loves the man she is going to
marry; to stay with him in sickness and
trials. Above all, she must be able to
cook a good meal, see that the house is
kept clean, tend to his bodily comforts, be
contented and happy, be she eighteen or
forty years old. There would be fewer di-
vorces if those directions were honestly fol-
lowed.

In the eighties, Attleboro and North
