Dumfries and took notice of its filthy
and malodorous surroundings, he won

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

tion in which the Scottish bard passed

sad. wrote Hawthorne, "to think Of
anybody-not to say a poet, but any hu.
man being-sleeping, eating, thinking,

worse man amid "the squalid him
ORANGES" that beset the poet moral and
intellectual development.
Hawthorne was right Low assooia-
tions, bad sanitary conditions and the
companionship Of the vile are all but
fatal to human virtue Burns was never
utterly degraded. He was always, in
spite of his failings, true man, and
his passionate love for 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. II 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 poet is unparal-
leled, for no man ever achieved SO much
as Burns with so little aid from the
world and with such terrible impedi-
ments in his path. - Westminster Re-

Mr.. -, a newly made millionaire, has
distinct social aspirations and does not par
ticularly care TO own up to what he thinks
Is his somewhat plebeian lineage. Not
withstanding this little weakness, however,
he was ever an aifectionate and dutiful son
to the plain old farmer and his wife who
toiled and moiled to give him his first start
In the world. One Of his first inheritances
when they died was pair of portraits done
BY a rural painter-two pictures with no
merit whatever from an artistic stand
point, but startlingly like as such daubs
often are, with the homely Sunday clothes
Of the wearers realistically represented.
Mr.. - meanwhile had become quite oele-
brated for his art collection. and his first
impulse ON receiving these staring and un,
mistakably bourgeois portraits was to rele-
gate them to the garret.
Filial affection, however, pleaded for the
familiar old figures, and In the midst OF
his perplexity brilliant idea struck him.
He sent for Mr.. A., famous artist, and in
duced him to dress up his old parents In the
most aristocratic garments Of their day
leaving the dear old faces intact, but even
going to the length Of arranging the old
lady's hair so that when the picture was
hung In his magnificent hall she might
have been taken for a duchess 30 regal
were her attire and surroundings, while
the old gentleman. fondling the head Of the
setter between his knees, looked like "a real
old English gentleman all Of the older
ume."-New York Tribune

LARGE ATTENDANCE At DRILL
MEETINGS OF COMPANIES.
Some Notes on shooting-A Champion
The International Match Drills
Every other Week.

Company G turned out almost in
full Tuesday night under Captain
Kea. An hours drill was had on
Union Square. 1t was warm cxer-
else, but the native boys enjoyed it.
B got up a twenty-file front,
double rank, last evening. Capt.
White drilled his command on Ar
mory Square. The drill was spir-
tied.
Company d will drill tonight
with the big guns. Colonel Nc
Lean will instruct. There will be
exercise in loading and firing the
field pieces. The presence of every
member is strongly urged During
the evening a business meeting
will be held. About half dozen
Al men are to be elected and as
many more sworn in. Recruits
will be Immediately equipped. At
the meeting a proposition to offer
medals for shooting will also come
up.
Company A will drill tomorrow
evening; and c, with the Hotch-
kiss guns, Friday at the same
hour.
1t is regretted among military
men that the Sharpshooters are
barred from the coming match with
the Californians, especially as that
much had at one time been almost
conceded at the Coast. The Sharp
shooters themselves would like very
much to enter the contest.
Tie new orders making drills
fortnightly instead Of weekly does
not prevent companies from contin-
uing their weekly meetings for that
purpose. Captains may drill their
companies every night in the week,
except Sunday, if the practice is
needed or the men want it. The
new orders merely remove the re-
sponsibility of the men to head
quarters, save for the two nights
set apart in each month.
After long season without prac-
tice, Colonel Fisher made "A at
Makiki Tuesday afternoon.
The Lee-Remington rifles used
by Company d will be exchanged
