Sir Walter seott's Tragedy.

Few people are aware that Sir Walter
Scott once wrote a tragedy called "The
House of Aspen" The substance of the
story and part of the diction is borrowed
from dramatic romance called Der
Hellige Vehme'' (''Fhe Holy Tribunat'),
which fills the sixth volume of the ''Sagen
den Vorzeip' (''Tales of Antiquity'), by
Belt Weber. The famous John KEN BILE
at one time was very anxious to bring
out the play at Drury Lane and prom
ised to appear in it with the great Mrs.
Siddons. But great objections appeared
to this proposal. There was danger that
the handspring of the story-the binding
engagements formed by members OF the
Secret Tribunal-might not be sufficiently
felt by an English audience, to whom the
nature of that singularly mysterious in
stitution was unknown from early asso-
citation. There was also, according to
John KEN ble's experienced opinion, too
much blood. too much of the dire catas-
trophe of ''Tom Thumb and Hamlet"
when almost all the characters die on the
stage. 1t was, besides, esteemed perilous
to place the fifth act and the parade and
show of the secret conclave at the mercy
of underlings and scene shutters, who, by
a ridiculous motion, gesture or accident,
might turn seriousness and gravity into
farce.
Sir Walter Scott willingly acquiesced
in this reasoning and never afterward
made an attempt to gain the honorsiof
dramatic authorship and the glory of the
stage.-London Truth.

No French snubbine.

''Snub" is a word of foreign origin, nos
pure Anglo-Saxon. The fact indicate
that our eef-eating, mead-swilling Saxon
ancestors were too stupid or too good
natured to understand this gentle means
of taking down." There is no mention
of the word or allusion TO the act in any
of the remains of Anglo-Saxon literature:
Bede, Aelfred, and the unknown author
OF Beowulf are equally silent upon the
subject. Neither did the word creep in
the language through the Gallo loop
hole, as may be seen from a careful study
of "Tbe Romaunt Rose" and like COM
positions, which msrk the transition
stage from French to English. From
this we infer that the French from the
remotest times endured the martyrdom
imposed by good manners without ever
availing themselves OF the privilege of
snubbing. The fact that the only word CIV
en- in the French lexicon as equivalent for
snub is reprimdade. construed as reproof
or censure, goes to show that good man
ners and gentle consideration for others
still remain national characteristics in
France.

four and half years.

ana siXty-two years ago and was ap-
pointed to the naval service from Massa-
chusetts June %, 1916, as midshipman.

CoFFEYvILLE (Kan.), Nov, 9.-Two of
the Cook gang plundered the town of
1enapah, l. T., and left bloody trail be-
mind them this afternoon. They entered
the town in the character of bold bandits.
without any attempt at concealment, aud
terrorIZed the citizens until they had car
RED out their plan of robbery. E. E.
Melton, brave young man, who at
tempted to stop them with his gun when
they were riding away, was shot and in
stantly killed. Another man, whose
name cannot be learned tonight, is said
to have been seriously wounded. Both
OF the victims were with a small force of
citizens who hastily armed themselves
and attempted to prevent the escape of
the bandits. The robbers were mounted
on fast horses and were heavily armed.
Some OF the citizens claim to have recog-
nlzed them as Cherokee Bill and Jim
Erench, well known as ieutenants of
Bill Cook, the leader of the gang.
The robbers held up the proprietors of
Two stores and looted both places. They
also robbed the Postoffice. John Schu-
1eldt, the proprietor of one store, lost
SlQO IN money and a gold watch. MIR.
Schufeldt proclaimed his loss to the town
before the robbers had finished their
work, and a band of citizens were almost
between them and their horses when the
robbers were ready to mount. An effort
was made to stop them, but they were on
horseback with drawn pistols and were
flying away before their would-be cap
tors could make a concentrated move.
A report says the bandits are headed
for Perryville, which is only fifteen
miles from Lenapah. That place is the
scene of many tragic rObberiaS and tina
police with volunteers are prepared To
meet them in the same way they met tho
Daltons two years ago, when almost the
entire band was wiped out.
