Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-26

In the southwest corneE OF Scotland, Oh INC
coast some thirty miles from Glasgow, is the
little town of Ayr. 1t was in tworoomed COT
tage nearby that Robert Burns was born January
25 1859 He inherited from his strict, sturdy
father a proud, quick temper from his mother
the love of song. Besides his birthplace, Burns
had three other homes in Ayrshire,-Mount Oil-
plant, Lochea, and Mossgiel.
Robert was a lad of seven when his father
undertook to living on the small upland
farm of Mount Oliphant He worked like slave
to do his part, oldest boy towards supporting
the family His regular attendance at scnool
ended in his ninth year. After that he spent
few weeks at time in several schools for spe-
cal purpose, but his principal teacher was ms
father. The luxury that this wise father
allowed himself was a library. Many books that
he could not buy he would borrow; and IN the
gloom that enshrouds this life of incessant toll,
which impaired permanently the physical ana
mental powers of the poet, there is certainly one
bright spot. Although the Burns boys rarely saw
anybody but their family, they had in their
father companion who made it his business to
educate his children. The fact must not be over
looked that Robert read, besides many other au-
thors Addison, Pope, Richardson, Smollett, Mil
ton, and Shakespeare. He was an eager and
industrious reader. He absorbed much of the
Bible, and of "a Select Collection of English
Songs his Uade mecum, he writes: 81 pored
them driving my cart, or walking to labor,
song by song. verse by verse-carefully noting
the tender or sublime from affectation and fus-
tian."
Into this monotonous life of drudgery and econ
omy frightened by the interesting reading and the
so persistently introduced, a element;
when in his fifteenth year Burns fell in love with
the girl who was his partner in harvesting, and
wrote Handsome Nell" his first song. Later he
wrote in his Commonplace Book 81 never had the
least thought of turning Poet till got once
heartily in love and then Rhine and Song were,
in a manner, the spontaneous language of my
heart" Henceforth, he himself said, this bit
of finder 'eternally lighted up by some god
dess or other"
A DEBATER.
"Whe attending school under a mathematical
pedagogue, Rodger," says John Stuart Blacke,
Burns formed intimate acquaintance with
young man called Willie and with this young
friend as eager for intellectual Improvement as
himself instead of playing at ball or shinty with
the other boys of the school, he was accustomed
to take walk in the neighborhood OF the village,
and exercise himself with him in such specua-
lions and discussions young Scotsmen love-
BY and by they fell upon plan OF holding dis
putations or arguments on speculative questions,
one taking side, and the other the other,
without regard to their respective opinions on

idea of their improving their minds by such non
sensical discussions, and contemptuously asked
what it they disputed about. Willie replied
that generally there a new subject every day;
that he could recollect all that had under
their attention; but the question OF today had
been, Whether is great general or a respectable
merchant the most valuable member of society?
"The dominic laughed outrageously at what he
called the Stiffness of such question, seeing there
could be doubt for a moment about it, We'll,
said Burns, if you think So will be glad if you
take any side you please, and allow me to take
the other, and let us discuss 1t before the school,
Rodger most unwisely assented and commenced
the argument by flourish in favor of the general.
Burns answered by a pointed advocacy of the
pretensions of the merchant, and soon had an
evident superiority over his preceptor. The latter
replied, but without success His hand was OBJ
served to shake; then his voice trembed; and he
dissolved the school in state of vexation pitiabe
to behold"
HIS FIRST FRIENDS AMONG BOOKS.
Burns writes of his early studies "The first
book l met with in my early years, which |
perused with pleasure, was The Life of Hanni-
Wallace; for several of my earlier years had
few other authors; and many solitary hour have
l stole out after the laborious vocatons of the
day to shed tear their glorious but I'M
fortunate stories. In those boyish days remem
Der in particular being struck with that part of
Wallace's story where these lines

miles to pay my respects to the Legen wood.
with as much devout enthusiasm pilgrim
did to Loretto; and, as I explored every den and
dell where could suppose my heroic countryman
to have lodged, | recollect (for even then I was
rhymer) that my heart glowed with wish
to be able to make song on him in some measure
equal to his merits"
A DESCRIPTION OF THE POET
Burns person. though strong and well knit,
and much superior to what might be expected
in a ploughman, was still rather coarse in its
outline. His stature, from want OF setting up,
appeared to be only of the middle size, but was
rather above it. His motions were firm and de-
cided and though without any pretensions to
grace were at the same time so free from cownsh
restraint as to show that he had not always been
confined to the society of his profession. His
countenance was not of that elegant cast which
is most frequent among the upper ranks, but it
was manly and intelligent, and marked by
thoughtful gravity which shaded at times its
sernness In his large dark eye the most striking
index of his genius resided. 1t was full of mind,
and would have been sngularly expressive under
the management of one who could employ 1t with
more art for the purpose of expression.

FALSE REPORTS

False reports regarding the candi-
dacy of Geo. L. Pitt, candidate for the
office of justice of the peace, have been
circulated to the effect that he had
withdrawn as a candidate for the OF
fce. This is absolutely false. Mr..
Pitt is more in the race than ever, and
will continue to be until the polls close
on November Sd.
If elected to this Office Mr.. Pitt will
give the people an honest administra-
tion and will serve no special interests.
He has been a resident of Lovelock for
more than thirty years, and is web
fitted to fill the oitce. His name on the
ballot should receive careful considera-
tion from all voters.

Sam Gundaker and J. L. Workman
arrived in town Saturday evening from
National, joining George B. Holleran,
of Goldfeld, and the deal was complet-
ed for the taking over of the Work
man properties at the camp mentioned
by the Macmillan Holleran company.
When seen at the Lafayette Sunday by
the Silver State News representative
and asked as to the status of the nego-
tiations, Mr.. Gundaker said:
"Our company has taken over the
Charleston Hill group of claims, com
monty known as the Workman property,
having made the first payment. We
shall at once incorporate under the
name of the National Mining company,
with capital stock of 100000. OF
this amount 100000 will be treasury
stock, but the company will be in the
nature of a close corporation, and If
the proposition continues to show up
as well as it is doing at present, it is
safe to say that none of the stock
will ever reach the public
"What has your company done to-

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING
LAST MONDAY
SENATOR NEwLANDS
MAKES GREAT SPEECH
Eulogises Roosevelt and Bryan to the
Crowd that Overhows Young's
Hall Monday Night

Senator Newlands formally opened
the Nevada campaign last Monday
hight in a great speech in Young $
hail to crowd that overfowed the
building.
Senator Newlands arrived on No. 10
Monday and there was little or no
enthusiasm upon his arrival. The
band was on hand, however, and liven-
ed up what would have otherwise been
very quiet occasion. When the Sen
ator stepped off the train there were
buG three people to meet him-the two
no wspaper reporters and one Democrat.
The cause of this, whether the Demo-
'crats of Lovelock were unaware that
their political "big gum was sched-
uitd to drop into town, or whether it
was impossible to find enough Demo-
Gratis to make a crowd, has not been
ascertained. A few belated Democrats
hurrying to meet the train, however,
rusned up soon after its arrival and
in short time small handful were
present.
Senator Newlands made remarkable
sp, ech in the evening. 1t was remark
able, because of its oratorical perfec-
tion, and because it appealed to both
Republicans ana Democrats. The
speaker showed quite conclusively as
TO where he stood, on the Roosevelt
policies, and discussed his connection
with some of the measures, presented
to congress under the Roosevelt
regime, notably, the Inland water ways
bill, and the Railroad rate bill.
In classical peroration, he referred
to the great moral awakening of the
country under the leadership of Roose.

plea for Bryan's election.
