WA scC TITS LAST FRIEND.
Woman Just Dead in Iowa Who
PLAYED With His Children,

idyCd WIN SIllINiI
Perhaps the last person in the world
who could claim to have known init
mately Sir Walter Scott died at Wood
bine, Iowa, few days ago, says the
New York Herald. She was Miss Mary
Bogie, aged So years at the time of
her death.
Her father, William Bogie, was with
Sir Walter for fifteen years, first as
gardener and afterwards as a sort of
business man and agent.
Miss Mary lived at Abbotsford down
to the death of Sir Walter in 1882, and
her people remained two years after
ward before migrating to America.
The stern little old Scotch lady never
married.
She played as child with the chill
dren of the great novelist, and espe-
cially loved Anne, the favorite daugh-
ter, while despising, with equal cor
diality, Sir Walter the yo niger, whom
she declared a cad and a scamp.
She had a childish friendship for
Tom Moore, the Irish poet, who used
to come to visit Sir Walter, but never
ceased regi ting that twice wien
Lord Byron came to Abbotsford to
visit the author of "Waverly" she
was away and did not see him. There
was a long and interes 'ug train of
these young poets who came to the
castle at Abbotsford for advice and
always got it,
Miss Bogie in her later !ife had been
careful student of Scott and his life
and writings, and her collection of
relics, papers, ETC., is bel; wed to be of
great value. 1t will pre- ABLY be do
mated to the Iowa Historical society.
Miss Bogie's collection includes au-
tograph not"S written b. Sir Walter
to her fathe her mother and one-to
herself and number of notes aud let

Story That Was Never Read.

A pitiful story is told OF Philip
Bourke Marston, the blind English
writer. One day particularly good
idea came to him and he sat down to
his typewriter with enthusiasm He
wrote rapidly for hours and had near
ly finished the story when a friend
came in. Read that" said Marston
proudly, land tell me what you think
of it," The friend stared at the happy
author and then at the blank sheets
Of paper in his hand before he was
able to understand the little tragedy.
The ribbon had been taken from the
typewriter and Marstons toll was for
nothing. lie never had the heart to
write that story again.
