tracts

Conference Over the B~attleship Con.
Washington, January 16.-President
Olcoct and Judge Payson, Of the
Newport News Shfpbuilding Company,
and the Hyde Brothers. representing
the Bath Iron Works. held a confer
ence today with Secretary Long n
his bureau chiefs respecting the de-
partment offer to each of these con-
Germs of a contract for building a
sheathed ~battleship. providing the bids
were brought within h new appro-
priation- It also was stipulated that
the contractors should restore a num-
Der of items in the Specifications cut
out by them in their bids.
Today's argument was devoted by
the representatives Of the firms to
showing that they could not properly
be expected TO make the heavy sacri-
Fee involved IN restoring the items
stricken out. They produced caicuia-
lions by their experts to establish their
contention that the ships could be
built at the government figure. and ac-
cording to the fun specifications only
at an absolute loss.

A large measure of reason has come
to the British officials in South Africa.
The order for the burning Of all farms
within a radius of a Boer attack has
been countermanded, n in it's place
one has been issued limiting the burn
ing of property to the estate of inhab-
itants performing wrongful acts. There
was no moral or strategic reason for
destroying the home of innocent Beers,
and most Of the better British papers
recognized that Lord Roberts a made
a mistake in his order.-Asheville Cit

BRONCHITIS

The quickest relief, for d
cold, is also the most effectuai
balm for the worst condition
of wind-pipes and lungs.
1t takes the edge off a cold
in a night, and relieves it pro-
gressively-one forgets it after
a little.
An old bronchitis, however,
is obstinate. Nothing re-
stores the tissues, when once
destroyed; and an old bronch-
it's has gradually impaired and
partly destroyed the lining of
those small pipes between
throat and lungs.

THE YOUTHS OF FAMOUS FOLK.
Sir Walter Scott.

In Edinburgh was born August Is,
1771, boy who became in after years
the greatest story writer of Scotland
He was Walter Scott. Walter was
lame and delicate. He could not 60
to school regularly and, being fond of
reading, picked up great deal of out
of the way information. One of his
favorite books was Percy's "Reliques,"
a collection of old ballads. After leay-
ing Edinburgh university he studied
law. In 1899 he was appointed sheriff
depute of Selkirkshire, with a salary
of about $500 year. Later he was
given an additional office, which in
creased his income to about $4,000 q
year. THE Lay of the Last Minstrel, y
his first literary work, was long
poem, suggested by the Countess of
Dalkeith, who told him the story of
the bogy, which is one of its charac-
tiers. The poem made him famous and
was followed by other stories in verse,
among them "Marmion," 1.-THE Lady
OF the Lake." "Rokeby" and THE Lord
of the Isles"
Soon new poet, Lord Byron, rivaled
Scott in fame, and the latter wisely
turned his attention to prose writing.
His historical novels have never been
exceIled. For a long time he would
not allow the publisher to tell who
wrote them They are the sort of
books every book boy enjoys, filed as
they are with descriptions of dashing
adventures. "Tvanhoe," "Kenilworlh, y
''Waverley," Rob Roy" and Guy
Mannering" are the most famous of
his stories, which are known as the
Waverley novels.
SCOTS writings coined money for
the author, and he was created bar
onet. He began to beautify the home
which he had bought on the river
Tweed and named Abbotsford, but in
1926 the publishing house in which he
was silent partner failed, and he lost
all he had. Although under no legal
obligation to do so, the great souled
writer went to work to pay back every
penny of the money which his firm
owed. He worked early and late, and
Just as he had almost paid the last OF
me debt of nearly 100000 he died, a
victim of overwork, at Abbotsford.
September q, 1892. He was buried in
Drybaugh abbey.

since had corked leg; that on Dewey
day. February %, 1900. he came 10
Wheeling and injured his hip joint
by fall; that he was taken to the
North Wheeling hospital for treatment,
and that DR.. Rau, against the wishes
of the plaintiff, attempted to straight
en- his leg, with the result that he suf-
fered agony, and has been compelled to
use crutches ever since.
Gen. Caldwell asserted that 1t was a
scheme to wrench money from prac-
ticing surgeon. He referred to the ac-
cident to Fluharty, his treatment at
the North Wheeling hospital and said
the defense would show that suen
wounds do not heal properly particu-
larly in the case of a patient of the
age Of the defendant He denied
