scoTT's DEAREST WISH.

Frustrated by the Fatality Attending the
Boys Who Bore His Name.
1t was Sir Walter Scott's dearest
wish to found a house which should
carry on the traditions of his great an
cestors, who were cadets of the SCOTS
Of Harden, now represented by Baron
Polwarth. Scott reared Abbotsford at
enormous cost, but there his work be-
gan and ended. His eldest son, who sue
ceeded to the baronetcy, survived him
only 10 years and died in 1S47, I'M
married, at the Cape, and 80 the bar
onetcy became extinct. His second son
died at faroff Teheran, also unmarried.
So the name Of Scott was left to his
daughter Charlotte, who married Lock-
hart, the biographer Of Sir Walter. Her
son, Walter Scott Lockhart, adopted the
name Of Scott, but, with all the extraor-
binary fatality that had overcome his
uncles, he, too, died unmarried at the
age of 20, and SO the estate passed to
his sister Charlotte, who married j. r.
Hope, Q. c., a member Of the Hopetoun
family, and he, Of course, adopted the
name Scott. They had three children,
but their only son died in childhood,
and once again a woman came to rule.
This was Mary Monica.
In 1874 she married Hon. Joseph
Constable-Maxwell, third son Of Lord
Herries, who, as a matter of course,
adopted the name Scott. They have had
six children, the eldest of whom, Wal
ter Joseph Maxwell-Scott, born i'll 1875,
is i'll the army. He has two brothers
and two sisters living. Mary Josephine.
who is married, was born i'll 1876. Thus
it will be seen that tine present genera
ton of SCOTS have. been in turn Lock
harris, Hopes and Maxwells. These are
all excellent names, with honorable his
tories behind them, and yet, in strict
genealogical sequence, the present gen.

"Giftmaking is one of the most graz
cious features of Christmas, and one
that I pray may survive all other out
grown customs, writes Florence Hull
Wi%nterburn in The Woman's Home
Companion. "When love and sympa-

in an outburst Of generosity is the best

all other gracious myths.
IAN example Of generosity is seldom
lost upon children if it is true, not
artificial. They are very willing to live
up to their little knowledge, if we al
low them the chance, and part of our
duty to the day is to encourage in our
young people the same kindness we
cultivate in ourselves. 1t is SO much
easier to learn in youth to be genial,
sympathetic and generous than it is
after embittering experiences have hard
ened our hearts,"

where, by appointment, he had long
conference with President Wallace F Rob
inson.
After expressing the most cordial senti-
ments entertained by himselfEand his
countrymen toward the people Of the
United States, Mr.. Mayeda stated that
he saw with feeling of regret the Gre
alton of tariff act by our government
at Washington that would materially
interfere with the exchange of commo-
dies between this country and Japan.
While not disputing the right or the
propriety of the United States adopting
such a policy in regard to it's tariffs, as
seemed to be best, he expressed the firm
conviction that the imposition of duties
upon articles Of Japanese manufacture
and which are wanted by the people Of
the United States, cannot fail to result
in an interruption of the friendly COM
mercial relations which have SO long ex-
listed between the two countries.

runner Gold Brick, which with Trolley,
another runner, are carried by the Iewks-
bury combination. Gentry made the
mile in s.l7 IA, the last half in 1.o7 -.
Neither horse was pushed, since trainer
Bowen feared an accident on a half mile
track of this kind Both horses made
splendid finishes and the runners had TO
exert themselves to keep up.
Manchester people were favored with
seeing the first public appearance of these
two pacing kings in double rig. They
were announced as the fastest pole team
IN the world, and they went down the
back stretch as though both were moved
by. the same machine They are SO nearly
matched that it takes good horseman
