ROBERT BURNS.
The Poets First Love and the Verses In

The Poets First Love and the Verses In
Which He Praised Her.
Robert Burns, the Scottish poet was
born at Mount Oliphant, Jan 25, 1859,
near Ayr, in clay built cottage, reared
by his fathers own hands. When lad
of is, the family moved TO Lochlea
His first three or four years at Lochlea
were still with the poet times of inno-
cence, and "his conduct was governed
by the strictest rules of virtue and mod
esty." At last he set his affections on a
young woman named Ellison Begbie,
the daughter of small Turner, and
asked her to be his wife, but he could
not prevail on her to marry him, and
this disappointment had malign influ-
enco over the poet. Long afterward,
when he had seen much of the world,
Burns spoke of this girl rs, of all those
on whom he ever fixed his tickle affec-
lions, the one most likely TO have made a
pleasant partner for life. 1t was to her
he addressed the pure and beautiful love
lyric MARY Morrison, +" and in these
lines the lyric genius of Burns was for
the first time undeniably revealed:
Yestrecn when 10 the trembling string
The dance gacd through the lighted hn',
To thee my fancy took its wing.

Though this was fair and that was Draw

BY Canoe From Coast to Coast,

Mr.. F. G. Nicholas recently described
the goldfields of western Colombia for
the geological section of the New York
Academy Of Sciences, and incidentally
pointed out route by which, i'll the
wet season, man might go in a canoe
from the Atlantic to the Pacific across
the northwestern corner of South Amer
lea. The proposed route follows the river
Atrato to the divide, which lies in Sc
ries of swamps, and then, by way of
one or two smaller streams, reaches the
river San Juan, which empties into the
Pacific.

Facts Most Appalling.

Public baths, if one may judge from
a report recently published i'll England,
are not always, as one would naturally
suppose, conducive to public health.
Professor Raginsky, who has issued the
report, has been investigating the con-
dition of the water in several public
baths, and the result is something ap
palling. Before any one entered the wa
ter it was, he said, so full Of microbes
that it hardly seemed possible that one
moro could find room. But IL hours
later, after about 200 of all sorts and
conditions of bathers had been in, it
contained no less than 1000 germs to
the cubic centimetcr, and the germs
were of a distinctly unpleasant charac-
Ter.

also included the rare explanatory card
and another card describing other packs
of the period. The "popish plot pack.
which was published in 1919, was sold
for 81 ISIS. These cards are very scarce,

BILLY BRYAN'S WAY.
The Cheap Money Moses Gets Hls
share OF silver.

Va StNeE.
We observe with extreme pleasure
that our distinguished Nebraska states
man and juvenile phenomenon, w. Jen-
nings Bryan, is having his way in
very important matter. During the
past few months the young gentleman
in question has been telling his fellow
countrymen-at from $500 to 81 500 per
speech-that this large and busy coun-
try must have more money. that its
circulating medium must be materially
increased. He declares with great en-
phasis and melodramatic gesticulation
that If we do not get more money into
circulation he will continue to express
his profound displeasure at the situa-
tion-whenever he can get a town 10
purchase an installment of his oratory
at satisfactory terms.
But our enthusiastic young friend,
Mr.. Bryan, has been so busy telling us
what he wants that he has entirely
overlooked the fact that we have been
carrying out his directions in most
remarkable manner. He has been TAX
ing from $500 to 81 500 out of circulation
for every speech he has made. but the
rest of us, by the end Of 1897, will have
added over $50, 900 TO the circulation
during the ~ months beginning jan
uary /.
And that ssoooo,ooo is in bright. yell
low gold. That is the amount of gold
which will be dug up by the people
of the United States this year. and ali
but about 100000 of it will have come
from territory underth American flag.
Based upon our gold output for the
first nine months of 1897, the yield of
this country's principal gold fields for
the current Nenr is as fnllnMs.

To this should be added 5000 600 as
the estimated output of the Klondike
field for 1897, practically all of which
will come to the United States. making
grand total of over $4,000, 900 which
will be added TO our stock of new gold
this year. Therefore, about one-third
of the worlds total gold output for 1897
will be produced by this country. In
1894 we produced but $50 500. 900 worth
of gold. and in three years we have in
creased our production by almost so per
cent. No similar record, on such an
immense scale. has been made by any
country since 1850.
But Mr.. Bryan doesn't mention this
marvellous increase of our gold money
in his speeches. He permits to pass un-
noticed the addition of SSO,000.00O in
gold(t our circulation in a single
year.\ Why? Because he wants silver.
Because he wants dotturs worth 40
cents apiece. instead Of dollars worth
100 cents apiece. Because he is not sim
cere. 1t is not more money and great
err circulation that he wants. but cheap
money. The amount of gold we have
added TO our circulation in n single
year is worth as much as 2O0,oo0,oGo
silver dollars would be worth under
silver standard, and yet Mr. Bryan
never mentions the incident. Ii we
had added Ssoo,ooo,o0O in gold instead
Of $S0,000,000 to our stock of real money
in IL months MIR. Bryan would still de-
clare that we did not have enough dol
lars in circulation-so long as he could
get from $500 to 81 500 every time he
said it.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

DThe leaders of the calamity party
are overjoyed at the slight fall in wheat
lately. They are expectantly watching
quotations, in the hope that something
will conduce to further depreciation
of its value, so that they can say: 1--WE
told you so" to the farmers. The fact
that an ounce of silver year ago was
equal in value to bushel of wheat. but
now buys only half bushel, has
knocked the wind out of their specious
arguments.

been sending gold into the United

until we now have gold circulation of

$l00,000,000 larger than year ago.
