Mr.. Robinson USED 10 describe MINI
self as a country lawyer. His home
was at Chicopee, Mass, a few miles
north of Springfield. But it was the
country lawyer who made the brill
liant and successful campaign which
destroyed General Buffers political
power in Massachusetts.
Some time in the year 1882 met Mr..
Robinson as he was entering his no
tel at Washington. / saw that he
seemed especially pleased. He said
to me: Governor Long has done "a
splendid thing" He referred to John
D. Long, who was afterward secre-
tary of the navy in McKinley's cab
met, and who was twice elected Gov
ernor of Massachusetts while still a
very young man.
| asked Mr. Robinson to what he
referred. He replied: He has APP
pointed General Devens a justice of
the Supreme Court Of the State of
Massachusetts. Did you ever hear
General Devens speak,"
I confessed that 1 had never en-
joyed the opportunity.
well, you have missed hearing an
orator whom I regard as without a
superior in the United States" Mr..
Robinson said. have always believed
that had General Devens been willing
to devote himself to oratory he would
have gained a reputation fully equal
to that of Edward Everett.
81 am very glad that Governor Long
has appointed him justice of our
Supreme Court, and I am especially
glad because am one of the few per-
sons who know what General De-
vens's loyalty to his superior and his
of character were at a time
when he was attorney general in the
ca binet of President Hayes.

dent suggested that the Massachu-
sets senators call upon General De-

With a Happy Sway
Venus Rules This Day.

Venus this day smiles on women,
astrologers declare. The planet rules
for good, especially in all affairs of
the affections.
The sign is particularly encourag-
ing for weddings, even though the
month of May has been generally
counted an unlucky time to marry
In this rule it is believed that the
planet sends gayety of mood. With
the mind tuned to lighter thoughts
friendships are readily begun and
they are likely to be fortunate.
There is a fair omen for those who
seek to improve their beauty or to
choose new clothing. Dressmakers,

As a child she wrote stories on a
slate and read them to her sisters.
If they liked them she copied them,
and if they did not she washed them
off the slate to make room for more.
Maria Edgeworth worshiped her
father. and everything she wrote as
long as he lived went fresh from her
pen to him for his correction and
approval. This father of hers, in the
course of events, provided Maria
with three stepmothers, making the
sum total of Maria's stepbrothers and
sisters reach the figure of fifteen.
Maria had three brothers and sisters
by her own mother, which made the
family of young Edgeworth in all
nineteen. But Maria loved all her
stepmothers. and after her fathers
death she helped, through the sale of
her books, to support their children.
Finally, when she was 50, she died
in the arms of her last stepmother.
Maria Edgeworth was one of the
most prolific of all English writer's.
Her books were immensely popular,
and it was her depletion of Irish life
that emboldened Scott to attempt to
depict Scotch life in his Waverly nov

In the first place. there are few
unspoiled millions of Americans who

Pegleg Peterson, who left part OF
his left limb at Malvern Hill, and has
been more or less of a perpetual
.<stmaster at Puckyhuddle ever
since. And from Pegleg | got little
light on the subject.
'.Save your improvements for the
navy. the postoffice department,
rivers and harbors and internal i'm
proyements. The material needs OF
the times change with them. But this
nation don't need a new flag. The
old one stands for too many battles,
too many defeats, too many victories,
too many wrongs righted, too much
history. My boy was proud to put on
khaki and jog away under the flag
his dad fought for. His boy may yet
want to do the same thing. 1t would
not seem right for him to have to dig
up an old one of the vintage of 1918
and tell his kids that was the one his
granddad fought under"
Old Pegleg was right.
Deeds rather than designs make
flags.
The spirit OF the nation, rather than
the arrangement of the stars, 10 the
thing that counts.

called off.
Miss Edgeworth was very warm
hearted and charitable. In the dread
full Irish famine of 1876 she devoted
much of her time and thought TO the
relief of her destitute neighbors- Her
many admirers in Boston banded to-

them saw how they were addressed,

kindness. Miss Edgeworth, who was

they were asked to do that by the
President or whether they went of
their own accord Isdo not know. but
I do know that they asked General
Devens IL he would be willing to ac-
cept appointment as circuit judge of
the United States Circuit. He told
them that an appointment of that
kind filled the measure of his profess
sional ambition. There was nothing,
he said, which would give him great
er personal satisfaction than TO serve
as United States circuit judge.
He was told that the President was
ready to make the appointment, al

lose a cabinet officer whom he SO
highly esteemed and that 1t had been
his especial hope that he should re-

On the Spur Of

Written Exolusivaly for Evsnias stzz.

Mr.. BINKs AND THE DOLLHOUSE
Mr.. Binks is the sort Of mar
who likes to have somebody working
for him. and so when he got the
carpenter TO come to build a dog
house for Queenie he was perfectly
happy.
It was first necessary 10 find the
proper location IN the back yard for
the doghouse, a place where Il would
not be too sunny and not too shady.
Mr. Binks and the carpenter spe-s
one day picking out the site. Then
they drew the plans II was not to
be anything fancy. for Queenie was
only a SO dog in her palniest day
and her palmiest day had long since
passed. Queenie didn't want dog
house any more than she wanted an
other tail a doghouse was miles be-
yond her station in life. but Mr..
Binks wanted It, and Mr. Binks vas
the grand exalted ruler Of that par
tieular patch of ground Mr.. Binixs
really didn't want the doghouse a.
much as he wanted somebody. uref@
erably a carpenter. puttering around.
Mr.. Binks had kept Mrs. Binks clean
ing up after carpenters for thirty
years.
The plans were finally drawn and
the lumber was purchased. Mr.. Binks
went to the lumber yard with thu
carpenter. The lumber cost s.. the
paint 81 and the hardware 81. The
carpenter suggested that Adr. Binks
might make the jon little more ex-
pensive by calling in the steamiltters
and having steam heat piped from
the residence TO the doghouse Mr..
Binks could do this for sS7. Queenie
was only a SO dog, but it was good
plan. Mr.. Binks would think It over.
Mr. Binks sat on the back steps five
days watching the carpenter build
the doghouse. In order to make II
large enough they built It around
Queenie. After it was all enclosed
and painted they found that they
had forgotten TO make door and
Queenie was inside. The doghouse
had to be torn down and rebuilt
1t was decided after an afternoons
debate to hold Queenie down in front
of the doghouse and then mark out
the exact size Of the door that
would fit her. While the carpenter
was holding Queenie down she grew
peevish and bit the carpenter through
the thumb. after which the carpenter
had to go to the hospital for two
weeks Mr. Binks called another
carpenter and had the job finished IN
three days. Mr.. Binks's expense for
the doghouse was as follows.

day from Vera Cruz, accompanied by a

He said his health was not good. and
that he had come here on his way to

liner Olympic. which will sail for South

Ernesto Madero. President Madero's Min
lister OF Finance, had booked passage
with his family on the olympic. General
Mandragon replied in Spanish, We'll. is
that so?'
The name OF General Mandragon did
not appear In the advance list OF the
olympic. but IL is thought that his trans
portation had been arranged under an
other name by friends in this city.
The War Minister went over to Presi-
dent Huerta after President Madero had
been slain, and subsequently surrendered
his portfolio. IL is said that his rela-
tons with the Maderos are still friendly
and that his departure on the Olympic
