Clansmen 200 strong met Friday
Scotia's favorite bard, that master
of lyrics, Robert Burns. His poems
spoken, his songs were sung AMI
toasts were poured to the handsome
Caledonian poet whose voice though
forever stlled, nevertheless lives in
memory through work of such sing
uar sweetness and of such an APP
pealing strain that as long as there
is a Scotland and there is Scot to
sing his praises the name of Burns
will be kept alive.
The 200 Highlanders and Low
Ianders, who forgot all feuds on
neutral ground clinked the glasses
and joined as one in giving reverence
to a poet who, though no Shakes
peare, voiced the sentiments and
preserved the folklore of a people
almost as old as the British Isles
and a people admired throughout

Some idea of the true worth of
Burns and of the hold. which he has
on the hearts of Scottish people IS
found in the following, expressed
Friday evening:
s'Hail, We glorious sons of song,
Who wrote to humanize the soul!
TO you our highest strains belong
Your names shall crown our
friendly bowl;
But chiefly Burns above the rest,
We dedicate this night to thee
Engraved in every Scotchman's
breast
Thy name-thy worth shall ever
be-"

gems remarkable that single
mans work should be such as to
cause representative SdtHcIluS lihS
that in the Yakima hotel for Burns,
and such a gathering only sums up
the evidence that there is no true
Scotchman who does not find this
man a literary friend.
The evening was passed with
toasts appropriate TO the occasion.
and everyone carried feeling of
friendship between the mother coun-
try and the present home of the
Scots present at the banquet.
Following is the program:

THURSDAY EVENING, MAR. 70. 1908.
A Le.,on In Grammar.

In certain mountainous region the
teachers are appointed with little ques-
lion concerning their grammatical
orthodoxy. Occasionally, however. a
wave of school reform sweeps through
the valleys, and undesired examlna-
tons are thrust upon embarrassed ped
hgogues.
II was during one OF these periods OF
Intellectual discomfort that the follow
Ing sentence was given: THE bird
flew over the house" Accompanying
1t was the query. els flew a regular
Or an irregular verbT'
One teacher after another shook his
head hopelessly despite the slow,
thought inspiring fashion in which the
examsner repeated the perpexing fact
that "The - bird - few - over - the -
house"
Finally a man rose I'm the rear, and,
with the assurance OF one who puts
his trust in logic and practical knowl-
edge Of natural history, he volunteered
a solution Said he:
az that bird which flew over the
house was a wild goose, it went in a
straight, regular line, so the verb Is
regular. But IL it was lockwood
that few over the house, then 1t went
In a crooked, zlgzag line. and so the
verb is irregular"
All but the grammar bound exam
iner were satisfied with this sensible
and rational explanation. - Youths

Artistic Slins.

It is n frequent matter Of lamenta-
tion on the part OF artists that one OF
their. number may spend genius and
time on piece OF work. only to fall
conspicuOusly in small detail.
There is a story that one Royal acade-
mician gave a hand five fingers and Il
thumb and that another painted Il live
lobster bright red.
The clever Goodall had been engaged
in painting a number Of laborers drag
ging a huge stone across the desert
when a man OF science entering the
studio said TO him: Il say. Goodall, II
you want those fellows to pull that
stone you must double their number.
1t would require just twice as many
for the task"
But it is not modern paintc~S alone
who slip up on points Of accuracy.

senting Peter denying Christ painted
