by the Coyne family who bought it
from his mother, Judge Rugg was
born. Few men who have achieved
national prominence struggled up
through greater difficulties. His fam

war was just over. Luxuries were
unknown.
The Riggs were among the poorest
or the Sterling families, lighting hard

was far from enviable. He rose ut 4
a m. and helped with the milking.
Then he did an ordinary days work
before trudging off to the district
school. After school he worked until
dark and then studied by lamp light.
He worked his way through Am
herst and then studied law at Boston
University. Thus he is n fellow
ahlumnus OF President Coolidge, al
temporaries and probably did not be-
come acquainted until the future
PRESIDENT of the United States began
TO take prominent place in Massa- :
chusetts politics.
In the meantime Judge Rugg
worked on the home place in
Sterling during the summer vaca-
tlons, and did all sorts of odd Jobs
about the neighboring farms to Sc
cure funds with which to meet his
college expenses.

Then he opened q law office in
Sterling. Business came slowly. The
town was larger than it is now-it
has declined in common with most
central Massachusetts farming towns
but 1t was hardly large enough TO
support lawyer. Within the past
twenty years his shingle still hung
on the door of the Peck house, on
Maple street. But he took advantage
of whatever leisure came to him to
brush up on his knowledge of law.
Later he moved to Worcester, still
keeping his practice in the home
town.
In Worcester, the industrial center
of central Massachusetts,, his progress
was rapid. His practice was assured
when he was appointed city solicitor
Those were the days when the infiu-
ence of ex-senator George II. Hoar
was dominant in the Bay state and
especially in Worcester, which was
his home city. Rugg soon he"arnn

most learned lawyers in MassaC Cnu-
setts. 1t is noteworthy of the char
acter of the men, however, that his
practice never was exceedingly profit
able. Through it all he remained n
poor man. Like President Coolidge,
whose career he duplicates in so
many respects, he is a poor man to-
day.
His next step was an appointment
as associate justice OF the Massa-
chusetts supreme court. Judge Rugg
always had displayed unusual judicial

fits into the picture. He is a demo-

the bitter revolt against evangelical
religions which ragged in New Eng

most everybody on Redstone Hill is of
the same creed.
Judge Rugg has a family of two
sons and one daughter. The eldest
son, Charles, has established himself
in a law practice in Worcester,
where he rapidly is following the
footsteps of his father He served
as a naval lieutenant during the
world war and was married after his
discharge. 1t is noteworthy that
Sterling appointed him town counsel
at once after he graduated with a
law degree from Boston University.
The second son, Arthur, is employed
in Worcester bank. The daughter
makes her home with her father and
mother.

by the committee. Salaries of the
