Letitia early developed a marked'
talent for the kind of poetry in vogue
at the time and for years devoted
herself with untiring energy to writ
ing. 1t is said that her net earnings
in the course of ten or twelve years
were $12,55O. Her poems were all
signed IL. E. L. her initials, and 1t
was for long time one of the lit
erary puzzles of the day to guess who
IL. e. L." really was, and many
were the letters and poems addressed
to this mysterious writer beofre she
finally revealed her identity. Among
them was the following parody:
81 truly like thee, l.. e. l..
The reason why | cannot tell;
But this is fact / know full WE'LL
| truly like thee, l.. e.. L.
In spite of the immense vogue of
her poems she was the object of no
little unkind criticism. and the gos-
sips of the time tried to bring dis
credit upon her because of her in
timacy with her publisher, a married
man who had known her from her
childhood and had helped her in her
work. This was apparently ground
less criticism, but it saddened the

Both Mr.. Welles and Mr.. BUSHNELL
were citizens of Connecticut, although
they never met until Mr.. Bushnell
called upon Mr.. Welles at the office
of the secretary of the navy some
months after the beginning of the
Civil war. Mr.. Weles, after the war
and, in fact. after the Monitor type
had demonstrated its value as
fighting ship, always acknowledged
the great service done by Mr.. Bush
nell in bringing the Monitor plan to
the attention of the navy department.
Some years after the war Mr.. Bush
nell was narrating to a group of his
friends In New Haven some of the
trials and difficulties which he was
compelled to overcome before he was
able to lay the plans of the Monitor
before Secretary Welles.
II don't think the people of the
United States have ever realized how
much they owe to Gideon Welles,"
he said. His administration of the
navy department was mastery from
the beginning of the war to the end.
He perfected the plans for blockading
the Southern ports and 1t was this
blockade which practically starved
out the Southern army.
Welles was man of real modesty.
lie never splurged or attempted in
any way to gain public applause. He
never strutted, and that is probably
the chief reason why he was not more
conspicuous in war days.
81 think now that President Lin
coin had not only great admiration
for the modesty and complete lack
of self consciousness which we're
characteristic of Mr.. Welles, but also
for his ability.
81 rememver one conversation | had
with Secretary Welles, perhaps a year
after the Monitor fought the historic
battle with the Confederate ironclad
Merrimac. | told Welles then, as

HOROSCOPE.
THURSDAY, August IL, 1913.


Another day in which to converse
energy and exercise caution. While
all the influences are on the whole
rather unfavorable, Mercury alone
rules strongly for evil.
Under this configuration the mind
is said to be easily affected by petty
worries. Those who are temperate
in judgment and we'll balanced are
not so strongly swayed as less even
tempered persons, but even they
should guard against imprudent
speech and haSty acts.
Letter writing is under an ill
omen. Correspondence of Importance
should be delayed, if possible, the
seers declare. While business affairs
may suffer under this aspect, lovers
are in special peril if they attempt
to express themselves with pen ana
paper
1t is held to be time when quar-
rels with friends and relatives are
readily provoked. Avoid friction
with brothers. sisters and neighbors.
Employees, also, are likely to suffer
under this rule of the stars.
According to ancient lore it was
unfortunate to take any medicine
when Mercury was exercising adverse
influence. BY this same system of

There's another of those pretty
little burying- grounds-God's acres.
How calm, how restful they look
One might be glad to lie there!"
Meanwhile, the youngold man had
been muttering to himself. He, too,
was watching the villages as the train
crawled through them Finally, con-
sumed by curiosity, I moved over to
a seat from which l could overhear
him. Just then another burying-
ground came into view.
"My God" he Kissed between his
teeth, there's another one of those
id graveyards!
That was all there was to the story,
but it was enough. Life has no
sharper nor more bitter contrast than
this.
To die useless is to die unrappily
and to die damned
To the average mind there is no
greater horror than to pass hence
before one has done real work and
given real justification for having
lived.

a pretty woman, she cared little for

In June of 1888, when she was SO

George Mclean, governor of Cape
Coast Castle. in South Africa. The
author, Bulwer Lytton, a friend of her
family, gave her away and she sailed
with her husband to her new home.
In October of the same year news
came to England that the bride was
dead, that she had been found in
her room poisoned by Prussic acid.
This was one of the mysteries of the
times and was talked about in liter

was said that she had poisoned her.

of the acid for medicine and that she
