PLIGHT TROTH THERE.


The Famous ''Piighting StAae o. Lairg'
Removed to Canada.
A famous relic of ancient lore and
love has just been placed in the Cana
dian Institute museum at Toronto. II
is "The Plightihg Stane o. Lairg." Its
history goes farther back than any ono
can remember, far beyond the time
when records were kept 1t is known,
however, to have been used by the mys-
tic Druids centuries before Robert Bruce
and his bold clan made Scotland ring
with their shouts and the sound of bat
tie, for it is a Scottish stane, of course.
Its name tells that.
1t IS declared by those who know that
thousands of true Scottish hearts have
plighted troth through an orifice near
the top that was made by nature centu-
ries ago. This remarkable Druidical
relic would be Il fit companion to the
blarney stone, for, while by one the
tongue gains power to charm, by the
other one is enabled to win the charm
er. There is nothing like the stone in
all the world, and it is considered a
matter OF very great surprise that the
good folk of Sutherlandshire, the origi-
nal home of the stane, ever allowed it
to be taken from the place where it has
stood for centuries.
David Boyle, curator of the Canadian
museum, treasures the stane as he would
the apple Of his eye He is greatly en-
thused over the addition to the museum

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

The idiosyncracies of human nature
are peculiar to say the least. Having
made study of it for the past few
years know whereof speak. During
the heavy snow storm OF last
week 1 was walking along Main street,
near the Slater mill. There was foot
beaten path, as the snow plow had not
put in its appearance on the sidewalks.
On either side of the aforesaid path the
snow was foot or more deep, still the
man with the high rubber boots would
force people with shoes and without
rubbers to one side or the other while
he pursued the even tenor of his way.
1t is strange thing, but oil that one
has to do is TO keep tabs;and see what [
have related above is not a..fsct in many
instances.

w ednesday's Fire.

The people of Olympia were startled
early Wednesday morning by the on
inous changing of the fire alarm bell
The residence of Mr.. T. N. Ford was
in blaze in five minutes from the in.
slant the alarm sounded, and thither
the fire service rushed with all speed
1t was at the still hour of midnight
when the flames broke out, caused
by the explosion of an oil lamp in the
kitchen. Mr.. Ford was engaged in
putting upa heating stove and had
left the lamp burning below while he
went up stairs to arrange for doing
the work. During his absence, the
lamp exploded, scattering its burning
contents in all directions. The lower
portion of the house was all ablaze in
twinkling, and nothing but the
hardest work on the part of the fire
department and the personal exertions
of Mr.. Ford prevented the total de-
struction of his beautiful home. The
roof was burned through in several
places and much damage done both
above and below. Furniture and
household fixtures were thrown into
a sorry looking plight and a good deal
of it, of course, rendered little better
than useless by rough handling.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated to be between $500 and 49,
600. About 800 in improvements
was expended upon the house during
the past summer, which now counts
as total loss. The building is in
sured for $1,000.

CANADIANS NOT ALARMED.
They Do Not Believe the Mckinley Adj
ministratiOn VIII Harm Them.

NEW YORK, Nov. s-The Morning Ad-
vertiser tomorrow will say: Three men,
bers of the new Canadian Cabinet were so
interested in the outcome of the recent
presidential election that they came to New
York to study Z methods by which it was
conducted and to learn the result at the
earliest possible moment. They are VIM. s.
Fielding, Minister of Finance: William Pat
terson. Minister of Customs, and Andrew
j. Blair, Minister of Railways The trio
arrived a few days before the election, and
left for home last evening. apparently well
satisfied with the result. They do not seem
to share the opinion expressed by a large
section of the Canadian press-that Presi-
dent Mckinley will be unduly hostile to
them on the reciprocity. fisheries, bonding
regulation and other questions at issue be-
tween this country and Canada.
Finance Minister Fielding. who acted as
spokesman for the party. when seen said: :
mo. L do not see any reason why Can
adams should be alarmed at the election of
Mr.. Mckinley. / think the chances of ar
irving at amCable arrangement regard
ing number of questions on which Canada
and the United States are at variance will
be quite good, if not better, after his
Inauguration than at any time in the last
four years.
..'Then ycu don't believe the fact that Mr.
Mckinley S a pronounced protectionst will
initiate against Canadian chances of OBJ
tanning q, reciprocity treaty.
Il do not see why il should. for the Re-
publican platform declares for both protec-
ton and reciprocity.
1.-THE Canadian oNernment will be
pleased to open negotiations for recipro-
cal treaty?"
Certainly: and will. unlike our rrede-
cessors in office, be IN earnest ABOUT IL.
We will send representatives to Wash ng-
ton al as early date after Mr.. Mckinley S
inauguration is expedient TO ascertain
whether negotiations can be opened on the
subject of reciprocity. One of the first
items to be discussed will be the quaran-
tine regulations. The feeling exists that
there is no further need for the ninety
days quarantine against cattle. Mr..
Fisher, the Minister of Agriculture, will
go to Washington at an early date TO dis
tuSS this matter
