Sir Walters Third Great Poem Still
Widely Read-Author Made Money
Out Of Work, Unlike Milton and
Goldsmith, but Never Grew Con-
ceited.
This year. 1910. is the centennial of
Sir Walter SCOTS third great poem.
1.-THE Lady of the Lake. which is still
widely read. Today all Scotland rises
up and calls it's author blessed for the
canny Scot calculates that during each
season tourists spend at least $1,000
600 in seeing the spots made historical
by the great master of the English Ian
guage.
The bard of Abbotsford didn't lose
by the poem either. He wouldn't sell
his rights for mess Of pottage, as did
John Milton with his paradise Lost
or Goldsmith for some of his classics.
Scott got $4,000 for the copyright and
received more in after life.
Poem Created Sensation.
None of SCOTS former works was
ever looked for with half the anxiety
as was the case with 1.-The Lady of the
Lake" Tho cantos as they were sent
to the press were read to select circles
by james Ballantyne, and popular
opinion greatly favored them. Every
where 1t was anticipated that great
poem would appear, and when it was
published ii excited an extraordinary
sensation.
The first edition Of 1850 was soon
sold out, and then followed in quick
succession four editions. so that in q
few months 10000 copies were sold
All the criticisms of the poem We're III
its favor.
In his Introduction to the 1890 edi-
ton Scott tells how the poem came t.
be written. The IIighlanders. with
their ancient manners. habits and Gus
toms. seemed to him to be particularly
adapted to poetry. He was also ia.

in the habit of spending the autumn

Scott took great pains to verify the
accuracy Of the local circumstances OF
the poem. one day going into Perth
shire to ascertain If King james could
actually have ridden from Loeb Ven.
nachar to Stirling castle within the
time supposed in the poem. and found
that 1t was quite practicable. And,
Notwithstanding the great success OF
the poem. Scott never grew conceited
over it.
"Never was be partisan Of his own
poetry" Ballantyne relates. reciting an
anecdote. Being one day in SCOTS
library shortly after the poem was
published. he asked Miss Sophia Scott
how she liked it. She replied with
perfect simplicity:
"Ch. l have not read it! Papa says
there's nothing so bad for young peo-
pie as reading bad poetry"

the Clipper with both thumbs turned

Perhaps the Clipper is mistaken. 1t
usually IS or does not know. The gen
eral impression is that Dolliver is max

present ne is a very useful man be-
cause he is doing the will of Iowa AS
matters stand Dolliver is perhaps
stronger today than he has ever been
in Iowa because he is making friends
instead of serving a coterie of corpora
ton interests. Certainly he is slated
FOR retirement by the Clipper stripe Of
political interests. but when one thinks
of it that stripe is neither making nor
retiring anybody in Iowa
There is confession of defeat and for
lornness of hope in the hatred ex-
pressed by the Clipper. The old order
when the system controlled senators
and con gressmen and legislatures in
Iowa and small and selfish men prided
themselves as being part of the system.

say that he submitted his letter to the

mitted by Wilson for he says that they

The thing that got him into trouble
was that he exploded something under
Ballinger and the noise very much

Pinchot wrote after consultation with
