George ker, as POSTMASTER, paid a
tribute to the poet Burns that was touch
ing and brilliant. He said that as Burns
was loyal to his country so are the coun-
trymen of Burns loyal to the country Of
their adoption. In announcing the first
toast OF the evening, "The President Of
the United States" by r. X. Nichols,
he paid his respects to President Roose-
welt in words that showed the foreign
born Scotch to be patriotic Americans.
Mr.. Nichols speech on the president
was non-partisan and well received.
columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" was
sung by the company in spirit that
could not be mistaken in it's enthusiasm.
Charles McAllister toasted "King Ed
ward VII" who he declared to be the
most benevolent of all the kings that
ever lived, and second only to his good
mother, Queen Victoria. His tribute to
Edward VII. was highly appreciated
Following this "God Save the King"
was sung by the company. Col. L. s.

one who has touched the responding Tyre
of the hearts of his countrymen. This
fact was attested to at the Yakima hotel
Saturday evening January 50, 1902,
when the CALIFORNIAN society of North
Yakima celebrated the anniversary of
the birth OF their beloved patron saint,
With a number OF invited friends they
toasted and Toasted and made merry as
only cornwall spirits can.
1t was the most enjoyable banquet
and celebration ever held by the society
and those who attended as guests will
ever remember the Scottish nature for
merriment at the feasting board. All
arrangements had been made with Us
much elaborateness as possible. 4 fine
program was prepared and was carried
out even beyond its makeup with few
exceptions on the part of the partici-
pants who were unavoidably kept away.
At 8 O'Clock the people began to arrive
at the hotel, and at the dining room
and its tables were turned over to the
banqueters. Plates were laid for 20, but
10 of these were absent.
Chief George Ker was chairman for
the occasion and Clansman :. j. Cam
eron acted as vice. Mr.. Ker announced
the toasts in his pleasing way, and usu-
ally captivated his hearers by reciting
appropriate gems from the poets book.
The menu was Scottish from hen bree
to soos' legs. Mr.. Cameron said grace
as follows:
that want 1t
But we hse meat an we can eat, and sac the
Lord be thankit."
After the bree was served and the
flush made way with, the haggis was
brought in hot and steaming rs from
the de'l's caldron. Chief Ker arose
and made salaams to this part of the
menu:
Fair fa' your honest, sonse face.
Great Chieftan o. the puddn race.
And then the haggis was served and
the feasters partook thereof with smack
of lip and twist OF the tongue, for the
haggis was first thought to be some epi-
curian demon. Waughts O. Dalmon
whiskey were quaffed in shandy gaffs
and then orras was served with much
good humor and joy. The stronger
speerits were of the soil and contained
the elements of good cheer, which, it
may be said, pervaded the whole conn

verse quotations, but owing to severe
cold that threatened him with pneumo-
mia he could not be present. In making
an explanation of Mr.. Howlett's absence
Chief ker said that the former told him
that he was descendent of the Scotch
on his mothers side OF the house, his
great-great grandfather having immi-
grated to America POO years ago.
The Immortal Memory of Robert
Burns" was the toast of George ker.
"He was peasant--a man of the com
mon people-but his genius has placed
his name among those of the kings, "
was the sentiment expressed by Mr..
ker. "He was the singer of the people,
of their love songs and of their homes
he touched the hearts of everybody by
his homely lyrics, and that is why we
love him so"
John Louden was down for a song but
he was detained at home by sickness.
In his stead Duncan McAllister rendered
There was Lad was Born in Kyle. -
He is typical Scotchman, and in rem
dering this song injected considerable
dialect into the words. Mr.. Louden was
also down for the toast, "The Land O.
Cakes" Mr.. S. j. Cameron filed the
vacancy with satisfaction. The theme
OF Mr.. Cameron's toast is expressed in
the following quotation:
From the lone Smelling on the misty island
Mountains divide him, and a world of seas,
Yet stll his heart is true, his heart is Highland
And he in dreams beholds the Hebrides"
After song by John McAllister,
entitled ''Rab Thamson's Smidy O. -
Miles Cannon responded to the toast,
1.-The United States" 1t was expected
that Mr.. Cannon would treat his subject
in his usual humorous style, but in this
he disappointed the company and made
very serious address. 1t may be said
judging from the attention given, that
Mr.. Cannon's speech was the best of she
evening. He treated his subject from
the standpoint that the United States is
the greatest country on the globe, and
gave his reasons and data TO substantiate
him. In referring to the Scotchman'
loyalty To his native country he said this
is just what makes him loyal to his
adopted country, and the Caledonians
approved this statement by hearty APP
plause.

Did you not dream that when Won died
Your songs in such melodious tide
Would flood the hearts OF those that love
To hear the vanished lark above?

The Seven Golden Cities.

The "Seven Golden Cities" one Of
the most popular legends Of the latter
part of the dark ages, were said to be
situated on an island west of the Af-
rican coast. The island is represented
as abounding in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, "the high towers
Of which shone at a great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time of the conquest of Spain and Por-
tugal by the Moors. when the inhabit-
ants fed in every direction to escape
slavery. seven bishops, followed by
great number of people. took to ships
and put boldly out on the high seas.
After tossing about for some time they
landed on an unknown island, the ia
nous spot which in after years became
the seat Of the "Seven Golden Cities"
This island" Heylyn says. was ex-
actly in midocean." After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserting and founded the
cities which have become so famous in
song and story. This mysterious is
land was often sought by the early
navigators Those who went In search
Of it and never returned were popular
ly believed to have been detained by

magical influence over masses Of men
and a power of words the effect Of
which was more like that of huge
masses of water in a tempest than any
thing else. His Midlothian speeches
made one think less of a river coming
down than of the sea coming UP. His
skill in constructing Il difficult measure
was not even approached by any man
of his time and perhaps was never eX-
cccded by any man at any time

must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate Of him is made many

lie had tender conscience, but, save
only where finance was concerned, he
had that conscience thoroughly under
command. If it showed the slightest
recalcitrancy, his will was always
ready to say, Gust you dare!'
And yet when all has been said for
and against him there can be no doubt
that he will remain the most notable
Englishman of his generation-as much
out of place among the Liberals as
Disraeli was among the Conservatives,
but, like him, head and shoulders

perior to Disraeli himself in most Of

FRENCH PRESS KEENLY INTERESTED.
CBy The Associated Press.

CBy The Associated Press)
Paris Feb. 15.-The French press is following
with keen interest the developments OF what is
described here as "Engand's campaign of
calumny" against a European nation in the
question of intervention in the Spanish-Ameri-
can War. The journal des Debats' says:
The English press will admit that the British
Government has undertaken a campaign Of
slander in order TO make England popular in the
United States. If, however, Dr. Won Hollebens
dispatch is correct. the responsibility for the
conspiracy" against the United States falls on
Lord PaUncefote, and in this case the campaign
started by England not only clumsy and
impudent, but slanderous. Lord Cranborne's
reply yesterday seems almost a disavowal or
Lord Pauncefote.
The Temps" thinks Great Britain is getting
worsted in the controversy with Germany, and
says:
The United States must just now feel the emo
tion of young belle, who for the first time
has come In contact with the pressing admira-
tion Of amorous rivals. They quarrelling as
to who shall enjoy her good graces. and not
merely over the question to who shall in
sinuate himself in her favor. but as to who
shall prove having been ever her true, great
and only friend. DR.. Won Holleben's dispatch
totally upsets the English stories, and. accord
ing to Lord Cranborne's statement, England is
taking refuge in q disavowal OF the personal
initiative Of its ambassador. 1t is ptiful spec
tacle.
