he goes into politics and works the public.
When it comes to poHsioa pledges, the
fellow who ts elected Is apt to tear up the

When Judge and jury are against him, q
man can't be blamed for thinking 10 an
unlucky number.
Silence. indeed, 10 golden. IF the mos
quito would suppress Its "buzz," it would

Politicians should remember that the
one who treats is not always the one who
beats. Much depends on the quality of
the liquor.

really needs is pay that will stretch from

The modern pugihst seems TO have taken

seeks to inspire terror by the size of his

When we get down to the politician g

~Auld Robin Gray"

Lady Anne Barnard wrote "Auld
Robin Gray" when she was ~. It was
published anonymously in 1776, and
various persons claimed the authorship.
Lady Anne did not acknowledge it was
her own until two years before her death,
when she wrote to Sir Walter Scott and
confded the history Of the ballad to
him. Itappears that the gifted lady was
induced to write the song by desire to
see an old Scottish air, "The Bridegroom
Graf When the Sun Gaed Doom" fitted
with words more suitable than the rib
aldry which, for want Of better, had
been sung to it. The name Of ''Auld
Robin Gray" was taken from an ancient
herd of Balcarres. Lady Anne was a
daughter of James Lindsay, fifth earl
of Balcarres. She married Andrew Bar.
nard, son Of Thomas, bishop Of LINER
lex, and they went out to the Cape.
where he died in 1907. Lady Anne re-
turned to London and lived with her Sis
ter in Berkeley square until 1919. The
sisters house was a literary center and
was frequented by Burke, Sheridan,
Windham, Douglas and the Prince Of
Wales, who were all habituai visitors.
Lady Anne won the lifelong attach.
ment Of the prince regent She died in
1925, in her seventy-fourth year. No
one has ever questioned Lady Anne
Barnard's claim to the authorship Of
the words Of "Auld Robin Gray" and,
though I am not going to cast doubt
upon the word Of the writer at this late
day, it is necessary to mention that
prior not only to the appearance but to
the writing Of the world famous song
there was French ballad extant con-
tanning the gist Of the story and the
plot. by Paradis de Monorif, entitled

It Looked Serious For Prairie Pete, but
There Was Mistake.
An excited crowd had gathered around
the young man, and there were cries Of

sWhat's the matterp', asked the tender.
foot on the outskirts of the crowd anx-
iously.
"Goin to be lynchin, reckon, Z" replied
the old gray whiskered man, who was in
tently watching the proceedings over the
heads Of the crowd. "Yes, that's the
game" he added after a minute or two
Some of the boys has got hold OF q young
Teller that has strayed from the straight
an narrer path, an he's Jest about to see
the errer OF his ways"
The tenderfoot stood on tiptoe and his
eyes seemed to stick out even with the tip
of his nose but he could see nothing but a
determined looking youth standing against
tree with his arms tied behind him and
his feet tied together.
"Has he killed some onee" asked the
tenderfoot at last.
81 reckon he has, replied the old man.
1T looks like Prairie Pete from here, an
II it is he's got not less'n five notches on
the handle Of his gum
'And in consequence suppose he's
been condemned to DEATH" said the ten
derfoot
"What's that?' demanded the old man.
"D'ye think he's goin to be jerked up for
KILN few menY''
"Why, of course Isn't he''-
mot on your bowie. We don't hang
men for that out here. We've got too much
respect for live man to shove him after a
dead one"
"Then what has this fellow done?" asked
the tenderfoot.
"He stole BICYCLE" replied the old
man slowly and impressively.
just then there was movement near
the center Of the crowd, and the next min
ute the young man had been released and
some one In the crowd was calling for
three cheers for Prairie Pete.
The tenderfoot looked at the old man In.
quiringly.

he caught few words coming from the
center OF the crowd. prairie Pete has
