SCOTCH WORK AND PLAY.
An American Learns That We Are Not
the Only Hard Workers
In the World.

Complaint is made of Americans
among the leisure loving older nations
as too pushing, over-energetic people,
ever on the lookout for gain; but Amer
leans are not the only hard workers
in the world, as the following story will
show, says the New York Sun.
A New Yorker of Scotch descent re-
Gently visited his mothers old home,
the town of Kirriemuir, Scotland. He
| stopped at window where weaver was
busy at his loom, pushing it back and
both, back and forth.
Did you know a Bette White, who
used to live in Kirriemuir? he asked po-
litely, dofing his cap
The weaver at once stopped weaving.
Bette White?" he repeated. "Oh,
yes, knew Bette White. She mar
ried an Ogilyie and went away to Amer
ica"
She's my mother" said the Amer
Lord save u.s." cried the weaver
Come onin and, getting up, he opened
wide the door,
The American went in. After some
little chat of Bette White and her hus-
band, he asked the weaver, who kept
right along with his weaving as he
talked:
How much money can you make at
your work day.
The weaver explained that by labor
ing steadily from $50 in the morning
until $3.50 at night-the daylight lasts
that long in the town of the "Window
in Thrums"-he could make three dol
lars.
And how many years." asked the
American, have you been weaving?"
"F1fty-two years." answered the
weaver, this coming Christmas
The American looked at the loom, at
the boards along which the 81 years
OF the passing of thumbs had worn
deep grooves, and then at the man who
had survived so many years of such la
Dor and still retained the color of a
rusty apple.
"And what time" asked he, "do you
give to your pleasure?"
MY work." answered the weaver, sis
my pleasure
1T was people like this who came
over here and settled our country" fin
lshed the American. SIS it any wonder
that we work morning, noon and night
de in our harness, and are a stand
ing reproach in the matter of hustlins
to the nations of the earth?"

Rents and Suicides.

Rents are paid quarterly in Paris, and
every quarter day is marked by large
number of suicides, the victims being
poor wretches who cannot pay, and seek
thus to escape eviction. On the first of
the month no less than nine persons took
their lives for this reason. The charcoal
brazier was the favorite means adopted.

cred Scriptures, growing until in Il
days it has grown to a wonderful
plant, spreading its branches over
the whole universe. so also he hoped

They are far too common in Ameri-

it is a large country with plenty Of
room for them TO happen is not suf-

fundamental is the hasty and
