STATUE TO L1vcoLNrNED1NBURcB.

Last month there was unveiled in
Scotland's beautiful capital fine
bronze monument Of Abraham Lin
coin. 1t Is erected as memorial OF
the Scottl-h American soldiers who
served III our clvil war, and repre-
sents freed slave sitting at he feet
of Lincoln, who stands erecl holding
the emancipation proclamation in
his right hand. Several battle flags,
also in bronze, lie beneath the out
stretched left hand of the slave. The
services on the day of dedication
were international in character. The
municipal officers, arrayed in their
official gowns, were present and a
detachment of Princess Louise's
regiment in their brilliant scarlet
uniforms acted as a guard of honor.
Speeches were made by Sir William
Arroll and by the American consul,
Wallace Bruce, whose daughter pull
ed the cord which removed the
wrappings from the statue. She
was dressed to represent Columbia.
The monument stands in the
Carlton Hill cemetery and will be
another object Of interest to visiting
Americans, who always love and
admire Edinburgh Congregation.

WEALTH IN ONE SONG.

1t is matter of more than pass
ing interest that a Milwaukee boy
has broken the record, in these
record breaking days, as a song
writer, publisher and seller Every
body nowadays is singing that ire
sistible ballad, after the Ball."
The chorus
After the ball is over, after the break of morn,
After the dancers leaving, after the stars are
Many a heart is aching, if you could read
them ALL
Many the hopes that have vanished after the
ball
is heard everywhere, and it is prob
ably the most successful song OF the
century, over 800, 900 copies having
been sold. 1t is said that no other
song ever sold to so large an extent,
and it is certainly fact that no
other song ever netted its composer
a fortune in few months time.
The story Of this song, after the
Ball, is full of human interest. The
words and music were composed by
Charles K. Harris in a few hours,
and the most remarkable thing of
all, outside Of its popularity, is that
the composer doesn't know one
musical note from another! Harris
is of Hebrew extraction, is % years
of age, is self-educated and is the
composer of at least IL ballads that
are now riding the topmost wave of

with red hair and blue eyes, and had
eked out the usual everyday exist
ence until few months ago as a
teacher of the banjo. Today he is
one of the rich men of Milwaukee
and is enjoying an income of over
$1,000 a day from the sales of after
the Ball" Harris has struggled
with all of the phases of poverty
but one morning about six months
ago he awoke to find himself famous.
The career of the young composer
and the story of how he wrote "Af-
ter the Ball"possesses many elements
of romantic interest. He was born
in Poughkeepsie, N. Y, in 1864,
When he was a year old, his parents
removed to New York, where his
boyhood was passed. When 13
years of age, the boy went with his
father to Milwaukee, where he has
lived ever since. When comparative
ly young, he began composing music
and thus far upwards of 20 of his
compositions have been published
He never had the advantage of &
musical education, but he takes tc
music and music making as natural
ly as duck takes to water. His
first songs were sold to publishers
but shortly after young Harris be-
came his own publisher Exchange

mandibles of the wasp, form rain
proof shelter with entrances at the
lower end and Railways and doors
between the layers, the inner and
outer doors not corresponding, lest
cold drafts chill the tender Larvae, or
eggs. Fastened to the roof OF the
structure by firm pedical or stem,
is the upper tier of cells, which are
completed first, even before the cas-
ing is finished. This tier forms the
receptacles for the first brood of
wasps. When finished, other sup
ports are fastened thereto and an
other tier Of cells made after the
manner of the first, and this is fol-
lowed by third.
In this light and airy structure, in
shape and size often resembling the
heart of great OK, the economy OF
the wasp family is carried on. The
young in every stage of development,
ranged side by side, are always
suspended head downward. AS
soon as the first young emerge fresh
eggs are laid in the cells. thus keep
ing them all occupied. Although
paper made from wood fibre is usual
ly used by these wasps in the con-
struction Of their nests, yet OBJ
servers record occasional instances
where real paper was utilized, the
insects moistening and chewing il
until it was of the right consistency
for their work. In nature the nest
described measures about sever
inches in diameter.
