ROBERT BURNS.
The Poets First Love and His Verses
In Her Praise.

Robert Burns, the Scottish poet,
was born at Mount 0liphant, Jan.
25, 1859, near Ayr, in a clay built
fottage reared by his fathers own
hands. When a lad of eighteen the
family moved to Loehlea. His first
three or four years at Lochlea were
still with the poet times Of inno-
cence, and "his conduct was govern
ed by the strictest rules of virtue
and modesty." At last he set his
affections on a young woman named
Ellison Begbie, the daughter of a
small farmer. and asked her to be
his wife, but he could not prevail on
her to marry him, and this disap-
pointment had "A malign influence
over the poet. Long afterward,
when he had seen much of the
world, Burns spoke of this girl as,
of all those on whom he ever fixed
his tickle affections, the one most
likely to have made a pleasanter
partner for life. 1t was to her he
addressed the pure and beautiful
love lyric Mary MOrison," and in
these lines the lyric genius of
Burns was for the first time unde-
niably revealed:

THE FRIED-Eaa STORY.

. ST. LOUIS, Mo-. August S.-About
this time every year the village joker
he used to be joker; now he's
nature faker-comes out with the story
of the hot sun that fried an egg.
Here's this years one. 1t comes
from Alton and is vouched for by Al
Young, mail carrier, and f. B. Brown
ing, agent for the United States Elk
press Company.
A small boy, returning home from
the grocery, drops an egg from the
bag. Note, it lands evenly upon a
brick, the shell falls away and the
egg spreads out, as if it were in a
frying pan.
The boy watches. Presently, he hears
a sizzle, he sees the egg turning naro'
and he calls the two men. Yes, IL
did: the men say so. Strangely no one
thought to salt it as it fried, and 1t
was not eaten. If you don't believe
it, ask the egg.

TENNIS EXPERTS
IN FAST GAMES
The Semi-Final Matches to Be
Played Thursday
Afternoon.

Some of the best tennis Of the sea-
son was seen yesterday afternoon in
the doubles tournament which is now
going for the championship of the Ter
ritory. The best match of all was that
in which A. l. Castle and r. A. Cooke
defeated D. w. Anderson and E. Hor-
ner by a score of 7-5, 4-6, 6-2. The
play was hard and fast all through
and it looked as if the Castle and
Cooke combination might lose several
times before the match was finally de-
cided.
A. F. Grifiths and W. H. Rabbit
put up a plucky, though losing, fight
against McKeever and Greenfield, the
Eva combination, the two first sets
going to deuce before a decision could
be reached.
The entries for the ladies' singles,
doubles and for the mixed doubles are
now open and it is hoped that they
will fill rapidly:
The scores of the day were:
Brock and Williamson beat Lowrey
and Fuller; score, Ga, 6-S.
A. L. Castle and r. A. Cooke beat
d. w. Anderson and E. Horner; score
