SHRINE or THE SCOTCH POET
A Washington Worship err of Burns
and His Valuable Collection.

It AblAA AAAD poOAeAAeAAAs
Not long ago, when new material for
the Henley edition Of Burns was being
sought at home and abroad, a certain
modest Scotchman, living in the United
States, had an original manuscript litho-
graphed and sent TO the publishers. In
making acknowledgement Of his courtesy
on page 4O6 OF the third volume, recently
published they write hin down as Mr..
w. r.. smith Of Cincinnati o. There can
be no reasonable doubt hat a Mr.. w. r.
Smith does reside in Cincinnati, o. Per-
haps several Of them. But the Mr.. w. r.
Smith who possesses an original
Burns manuscript resides, and
for forty-three years has resid-
ed, I'm Washington city as super
intendent OF the botanical gardens. At
present, furthermore, he Is president of
the Society Of American Florists and for
over n generation he has been widely
known in this country as the friend of
many distinguished men. He has always
been at home 10 them In his little red
brick cottage. which nestles well hidden
just under the white majesty of the cap
itol and at peace in the green plant-world
OF its own.
The treasure Of his house. as It is the
pride OF his heart. has long been his
Burns collection, which fills a small room
apart from his general library How
interesting this collection IS may be in
ferred from his own statement that Il
contains DO separate dated editions OF
Burns ont OF the 600 editions which, he
says. have been published throughout the
world. To this treasure house OF his be-
loved poet he expects TO add other vol
umes, 20 be obtained from the Mitchell

in Washington, in a room that he would
like Mr.. Andrew Carnegie to build for 1t
there instead Of the one the millionaire
is understood TO have offered to build in
Pittsburg IT would be pity ever TO
have the collection removed from Wash
ington, where it is so often visited. When
Craibe Angus wanted the loan of Il last
year for the Burns celebration at Glas-
cow Mr.. Smith declined TO send 1t, being
loath to disappoint his American visitors.
In this connection he quoted with some
feeling a remark once made by a niece
Of Burns: "A Scotchman always begins
by finding fault with my uncle; but the
Amercans-they never find fault with
him." a Scotchman must come to this
country, insisted Mr.. Smith, to find out
what it means to love the poet of Scot
land.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.


This may read as though we were putting
It little strong because 1t is generally
thought by the majority of people that dye
pcpsia in its chronic form is incurable, or
practically so. But we have long since shown
that dyspepsia is durable. nor is II such
dlaicult mater as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that they
are continually dieting, starving themselves,
or going to opposite extremes or else delugins
the already over -burdened stomach with bit
ters," after dinner pills" etc, which in-
varaby increase the difficulty, even II in
some cases they do give slight temporary
relief. Such treatment of the stomach sim
ply makes matters worse. What the stomach
wants is a rest Now how can the stomach
become rested, recuperated and at the same
time the body nourlshed and sustained.
This is the great secret and this is aleo
the secret of the uniform success OF Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. This is comparatively
now remedy, but its success ana popularity
leaves no doubt as to Its merits.
The tablets will digest the food anyway,
regardless Of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia according to
directions is to eat an abundance OF good,
wholesome food and use the tablets before
and after each meal and the result will be
that the food will be digested, no matter
how bad your dyspepsia may be- because,
as before stated The tablets will digest the
food place 1t in a temperature OF 9S de-
To Illustrate our meaning plainly, II you
take 500 grains OF meat, eggs or ordinary
food and place it in atemperaturc of 9S de-
grees and put with it one OF Stuart's Dys-
pcpsia Tablets 1t will digest the meat or
eggs almost as perfectly as II the meat was
enclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of diges-
tion and the body and brain will be properly
nourished ana at the same time radical,
lasting cure of dyspepsia vii be made
because the much abused stomach will be
given, to some extent, a much needed rest.
Your druggiat will tell you that of the many
remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia, none
Of them has given so complete and general
satisfaction as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
and not least in Importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also tho
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.

pointing the election registrars. The chair

central committees presented the list of

selections. The men slected for the duties
were, the first name in each precinct being

The council considered the proposition to
correct a long-standing oversight by APPROX
Ing the plat of Turkeys subdivision. The
plat has been recorded and dedicated to the
city for many years, but owing to some over
sight number of years ago the plat was
not approved by the city. An examination
OF the plat showed that a short street in
the addition had never been dedicated to
the city. The citizens asking to have the plat
approved were ready with deed conveying
to the city the street in question and the
council decided to approve the plat when
the deed was presented, properly signed by
all the property owners in the district.
The bond of John Atwood, the newly APP
pointed poll tax collector, was submitted
and approved.
