Burns Last Written Words.

I'm July, 1896, the protracted ILL.,
ness from which Burns had been suf-
fering became SO acute that he was ad-
sort" writes Arthur Warren, apropos
of the approaching centenary of Rob-
ert Burns death, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. HE went off to Brow ON
Solway Firth. All his thoughts at this
time were of his wife, whose condi-
His anxiety for her increasing, he has
tened back to Dumfries. He was so
weak on reaching home that he could
hardly stand. Barely able to hold a
pen he wrote a note of appeal, begging
his wife's mother, who was e%stranged
fries, 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 failing genius was i'm
PEELED 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 him
self. 1t was as he wished. The touch
of his Jean was the last sensation
which Robert Burns carried with him
to eternity. He died on the twenty
first of July, 1896, in the th%irty-eighth
year of his age. On the day of hts
burial his son, Maxwell, was born.
The little fellow lived less than three
years.
1.-The Scottish admiration for Burns
was so great that his widow and chill
dren three sons and two daughters)
not suffered to know want. A
subscription of six thousand dollars
was Immediately raised for them. -Four
years later, that is to say, in 1900, Cur
rie'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 invested, the amount
yielded ar income for the modest
though comfortable maintenance Of
Jean and her children. Jean Burns
survived her husband t%hirty-eight
years."

BLACkMAll IN ENGLAND,

secret Owning; Servants Seem to lie the
Greatest Culprjts There.
That was wise philosopher who
remarked that a valet knows his
master S character better than any
one else. In the privacy of his
chamber a busy, harassed man is
apt to throw eff all reserve and to
reveal those very traits in his dispo-
sition which he otherwise takes the
utmost caro- to conceal.
A valet or a lady's maid has al
most unlimited opportunities for
matchmaking. Their chances of pry-
ing into their masters affairs are
unequaled.
1t isnot surprising, therefore, that
servants who extort money are
among the worst terrors with which
society people have to contend.
Toward the end of last year a we'll
known public man was found dead
in his bed. 1t was evident that he
had poisoned himself, although TO
cause for the deed could be discov-
cred. A few days ago an old valet
of the unfortunate man, now pub
lie house keeper, received a severe
injury from a fall from a scaffold,
and fearing that he would not recov-
or he confessed that it was chiefly
through his fundamentally that
his master had been driven to his
death. Rc
He had found in an old drawer a
packet of papers which, without
doubt, contained past history. Be-
ing in need of money, he demanded
payment of $40, in default of
which he threatened to make the
papers public. The money was paid,
but he soon ran through it, since he
had lost his situation. He again ap-
piled for another. e10, and finally
succeeded in obtaining it. He now
wished to set up public house and
found that ego would allow him to
do so. Accordingly, for that sum he
sold his master 8 secret to two men
of his acquaintance.
These men Immediately organized
system of Matchmaking, with the
result that their wretched victim
was driven to take his own life in
order that he might escape from
their tolls.
This is only one instance selected
at random from a little pile of the
kind.
Those who read the society papers
or otherwise become acquainted
with scandals will remember the
case which occurred a few weeks
ago, of the duchess who was habit
ually addicted to the use of certain
drug, which proved very fatal so far
as her social position was concerned.
What did not transpire at the time,
however, was the fact that her lady

Possibility OF II Passing tho Senate Dur.

ins tho next Session.
WASHINGTON Dec 10. There is con-
siderable talk concerning the possibil-
ity OF the passage OF the Dingley tariff
bill during the coming sess on of con-
gress 1t all depends on the attitude
OF the silver senators and belief is
entertained that they will not stand in
the way Of it's passage. The Dingley bill
was passed BY the house Of represcn-
tativcs on the Goth Of December, 1906,
before any other business had been
transacted by the present house Of
representatives.. 1t provided for dn-
lies on raw aud manufactured wool
equivalent to go per cent of those im-
posed by the Mckinley act Of 1890. A
duty OF 90 per cent is imposed upon
lumber and its manufactures, and the
last section provides for horizontal
advance of Is per cent OF the duties
imposed upon all other articles named
In the Wilson-Gorman bill, except
sugar. According to the provisions of
the bill these new duties were only to
be temporary and continue until the
first OF August, 1898, but it will be
easy to amend it in that particular.
