Robert Burns,

He was born and brought up in the
midst of poverty and comparative igno-
rance. When, i'll 1857, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne visited the poets residence at
Dumfries ard took notice of its filthy
and malcdorous surroundings, he Won
dered that Burns could have preserved
his marvellous genius in such an unsa-
worry spot. The author of 1.-The Scarlet
Letter" was even more Mortified at the
wretched aspect OF Burns farm at Moss
giel and could not compare the habita-
ton in which the Scottish bard passed
so many of his days to pigsty. 1T is
sad" wrote Hawthorne, ito think of
anybody-not to say a poet but any hu-
man being-sleeping, eating, thinking,
praying and spending all his home life
in this miserable howell" He praises the
''heroic merit of Burns for being no
worse man amid ''the squalid him
ORANGES" that beset the poets moral and
intellectual development
Hawthorne was right. Low associa-
kiops, bad sanitary conditions and the
companionship of the vile are all but
fatal to human virtue. Burns was never
ufte-.s degraded. He was always, in
spite Of his Salings, a true man, and
his passionate love fer his fellow men
outlived all his sufferings.
His relations with Jean Armour,
though they proved his frailty and hers.
were honorable to him in some respects,
for he left nothing undone to repair the
error of his youth. His intemperance
was rather the effect of his convivial
disposition than of any vicious tenden-
cy. If he sinned. he paid the penalty,
one might say. with his life. His ca
reer terminated at 81, and, having re-
gard to his circumstances and opportu-
mites, his record as a poet is unparal-
leled, for no man ever achieved so much
rs Burns with so little aid from the
world and with such terrible impede
ments in his path.-Westminster Re-

Helena, Nov. 2.-Eugene Stanley, who
shot and killed Ida Woods in Judge
Cages court last March, was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life this morn
ing by Judge Blake. This penalty was
fixed by the jury which, last Saturday.
returned a verdict against Stanley of
murder in the second degree.
Before sentence was passed, William
Wallace. Stanley's attorney, addressed
the court. He said he had no intention
of asking for a lighter sentence than
fixed by the jury. but wished to say
that since the trial, he had discovered
certain evidence that would go to show
that Stanley was not in his right mind
a few days before the tragedy and be-
fore he had commenced drinking He
then related certain Incidents in which
Stanley had appeared to others as be-
ing unbalanced" Mr.. Wallace said
he spoke of this testimony ait this time
so that dn future should executive
clernency be asked 1t would not be
said that new evidence had been con-
tured UP for the occasion.
Stanley took the sentence without
word. He is broken in spirit and con-
stitution. being pale and haggard.
When he went to Jail his hair was
black and now 1t Is gray. He will be
taken to the penitentiary Monday.
Stanley's true name is Thomas DAILY
and he has brothers dn Butte. He hopes
and expects ITO DE pardoned after a few
months Imprisonment.

this better than anyone else. The

Berlin. Nov. 2.-The reports OF the

visited Herr Singer to request him to
cease his attacks In The vorwaerts on

and in order ITO induce him ito stop his
opposition to the Emperor Wiluam

pired that Herr Swecf1ten. the archi-
tect of the church, Is himself guilty of
placing the scurriEous inscription on

attention.
A feature of the church was the queer
reasoning by which tine presiding Judge

OF the liberal and radical press as falla-
cious and illegal. The case will be APP
pealed Ito the supreme court, 50 fas as

A solution of Citrate of
Magnesia in which we use
water from the celebrated
Pipestone Springs.
The impossibility of pro-
ducing a stable solution of
Citrate of Magnesia with
water fromvarying sources
and the further fact that
city water. when distilled
even under a high pres
sure, refused to part with
its odor, induced us to con-
duct a series of expert
ments, which resulted in
the discovery that Pipe
stone water, from its pecu-
liar naturalization, was
admirably adapted for
combination with Citrate
of Magnesia.
For protection we have
adopted a pipe and stone,
the imprint of which, in
red, will appear on each
bottle. Look for it.
