BURNS LAST WRITTEN WORDS.
BEGGED jeans Mother to Come and
Care for Her.

OFE6 AOE NGSEs
tIn July, 1896, the protracted Illness
from which Burns had been suffering
became so acute that he was advised
to go to the seaside as a last resort"
writes Arthur Warren, apropos of the
approaching centenary of Robert Burns
death, in July Ladies Home Journal
'.He went off to Brow on Solway Firth.
All his thoughts at this time were of
his wife. whose condition was such as to
warrant his fears. His anxiety for her
Increasing, he FASTENED back to Dunn
fries. He was so weak on reaching home
tina he could hardly stand. Barely able
to hold a pen he wrote a note of appeal,
begging his wife's mother, who was es-
tranged from her daughter, to come on
to Dumfries, as Jean was in urgent need
of her care. They were the last words
he ever wrote.
LET us not forget that the expiring
effort of the falling genius was impelled
by tender anxiety for his loving wife.
In his dying hours he begged her. if
his mind should wander, to touch him
and thus recall him to himself. 1t was
was the last sensation which Robert
Burns carried with him to eternity. He
died on the twenty-frst of July. 1876,
in the thirty-eighth year of his age. On
the day of his burial his son, Maxwell.
was born. The little fellow lived less than
three years.
.-Th Scottish admiration for Burns
was so great that his widow and children
(three sons and two daughters) were not
suffered to know want. Al subscription
of six thousand dollars was Immediately
raised for them. Four years later, that
is to say, in 1900, Currie's ~well-known
edition of the poets works appeared.
This realized seven thousand dollars
more for the family. These sums made
a snug fortune in those days. Duly in
vested. the amount yielded an income
for the modest though comfortable
maintenance of Jean and her children.
Jean Burns survived her husband thirty
eight years"

to be, an exemplary character. Whatever
he did he did with all his energy. He

grace, read from the big ha-Bible. And

is making a fight against w. Heller for
the S~hrievalty nomination. 1t is said he is
encouraged with Charles Birdsall. D.Y.

The motive for this detection from the
ranks is that Mr. OsNein would 'cut no

nominated or elected.
