The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-11

This novel, like many of Scott's famous ones, is based on a true story. The sim pie Scotch lass who would not swear to lie even to save her beloved sisters life, and who walked to London In her inno- cence and succeeded in getting pardon from the King, was a girl named Helen Walker. The sister whom she saved did not attain to the station which is reached by the sister in the novel.
 Apart from the story, ''The Heart of Midlothian" is a most interesting his torical book. The scenes and. descriptions of people and customs would hold the eager attention of readers even if the plot were not followed at all.

BRYAN DISCUSSES HIS DEFEAT.
1T is for the People to Decide What
They Want. Has Faith That
Democratic Principles Will
Yet Prevail.

Lincoln, Neb., November 5.--W. j.
Bryan today gave out the following
statement:
"The election has gone against us
by decisive majority. The returns
are not all in and it is impossible at
the present time to analyze them to
say what causes contributed most to
the Republican victory.
owe made our fight upon a plat
form which embodied what we believ-
ed to be good for the American peo-
pie, but it is for the people themsel-
yes to decide what laws they desire
and what methods of government
they prefer. I have faith that the
publicity which we asked for will yet
commend itself to the American peo-
pie, that the election of Senators by
the people will be secured, that the in
iquities Of the trusts will arouse an
opposition that will result in the elm
ination of the principles of the pri-
vate monopoly. I am confident that
the people will see the necessity for
the labor legislation and the tariff re-
duction which our platform demand
ed. [ am confident, too, that the ed
ucational work done in this campaign
will result in securing greater protcc-
ton to bank depositors.
"The above are the most prominent
reforms for which we laborcd, and
believe that these reforms will yet
come together with more effective re-
gulation of railroads and independ-
ence for the Filipinos.
81 desire to commend the work Of
our national committee. I am entire
ly satisfied with Mr. Mack as the
chairman and with the members of
the committee. I do not see how they
could have done more than they did.
and as for myself, I put forth every
effort in my power to secure victory
for our cause.
"The nomination came from the
hands Of the voters. I have obeyed
their command and have led as best
l could. Words will not express my
gratitude for the willingness of the
Democrats during the past twelve
years. Neither am I able to ade-
quatclv express my appreciation for
the kind words which have been spok-
on since election. IF I could regard
the defeat as purely personal one I
would consider it blessing rather
than misfortune, for I am relieved
OF the burdens and responsibilities of
an office that is attractive only in
proportion as it gives an opportunity
to render a larger public service But
| shall serve rs willingly in private
capacity as in a public one. God does
not require great things of us. He
only requires that we improve the op-
portunitics that are presented. and
/ shall be glad to improve the op-
portunitics for service presented by
private life.
In this hour Of national defeat I
find some consolation in the cordial
support given by my ncighbors, by the
citizens Of Lincoln and by the people
Of the State Of Nebraska. With a
Democratic governor and Democrat
tic legislature we shall be able to put
into practice so much Of the Denver
platform as relates to State lcgisla-
ton. and 7 trust that our State will
set an example that will be an in
fluencc for good in the nation.n

SUES [. A. PACIFIC
FOR BIG DAMAGES
MOTORIST, STRUCK BY CAR,
SEEKS REDRESS
Declares He Was Injured to an Extent
That $2o,7s7.40 VIII Cover.
Unable to Work for
Year, He Says

A suit for s2O.7S7.4O damages against
the Los Angeles-Pacific company was
filed in the superior court yesterday
by Charles E. Leighton, who alleges
he sustained permanent injuries when
a car, owned and operated by the de-
PENDANT company, collided with an au-
tomobile which Leighton was driving.
The complaint sets forth that April
Is, 1908, Leighton was driving his ma
chine near Occidental and Sunset
boulevards when the auto was struck
by a car, throwing Leighton out and
causing a fracture of his leg and nu-
merous other injuries about the limbs
and body The machine was demol-
ished and rendered unfit for further
use
The complaint further alleges that
Leighton was confined to his bed for
three months, thus depriVing him of
pursuing his occupation whereby he
earns $500 month. For this he asks
$500; for the damage to the automobile
he asks $1,000, and because his physi-
clan informs him he will be unable to
work for a year he wants $500, and
for injuries sustained, $4,000.

Mrs. Mayr occupied seat near her

In one of the dispositions further
