SIR WALTER SCOTS DC IS
Famous Author Was Especially Fond
Of These and His Other Pets
at Abbotsford.

One of my pleasant recollections Is
that of seeing Sir Walter Scott out on
stroll with his dogs; the scene be
ing in the neighborhood of Abbots-
ford, in the summer of 1924, while as
yet the gloom OF misfortune had not
clouded the mind Of the great man,
There he was llmping gaily along with
his pet con panions amid the rural
scenes which he had tolled to secure
and loved so dearly.
Soott's fondness for animals has
perhaps never been sufficiently
acknowledged. 1t was with him a
kind Of second nature. and appears to
have been implanted when as child
he was sent on visit to the house OF
his grandfather, Robert Scott, atsSan.
dyknowe, in the neighborhood OF Dry
burgh. Here, amid hocks Of sheep and
lambs, talked to and fondled by shop
herds and eve mixers, and revealing
with collies, he was impressed with a
degree of affectionate feeling for AMI
mails which lasted through life. At a
subsequent visit to Sandyknowe, when
his grandfather had passed away, and
the farm operations were administer
ed by Uncle Thomas" he was pro-
vided with Shetland pony to ride
upon. The pony was little larger
than many a Newfoundland dog. It
walked freely into the hou7e and WIS
regularly fed from the boys hand. He
soon learned to ride the little pony
well, and often alarmed Aunt Jenny"
by cantering over the rough places In
the neighborhood. Such were the be
ginnings OF SCOTS intercourse with
animals. Growing up, there was some
thing extraordinary In his attachment
to his dogs, his horses, his ponies and
his cats; all of which we're treated by
him. each in its own sphere, as agree
able companions, and which we're at
tached to him In turn.-W. Cham

BALL GAME OF CHEROKEES
important Function is Preceded by
Song and Dance Which Lasts
All Night.

The bail game as played by the
Cherokees is as important to them as
football or any other popular game Is
to other people. The eastern band OF
Cherokees live on the Qualla reser.
walton in western North Carolina.
The neighborhood in which live,
writes an Indian girl In the Red Man,
Is divided into four main sections,
namely; Yellow Hill, Soco, Big Cove
and Birdtown. The Indians living In
one Of these sections will challenge
those living in another to a game Of
ball, They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. II is generally
played In an open field far different
from the well-graded field upon which
the game Of football is played.
The evening before the game the In.
dams, the women included, hold a
dance In their respective sections of
the country. These dances are held in
the open air, usually near some small
stream. The women do the singing
while the men dance. In their songs
they make all kinds OF remarks about
those Of the opposing side. These
dances continue all night long. From
the time of the dances until after the
games the players are not allowed to
eat any food.
The follow ing day the people from
the different sections gather at the ap-
pointed place to witness the game.
They either sit or stand around the
edge OF the field. The ball players
each have two sticks similar TO those
used In the game Of lacrosse. only
smaller The ball is tossed up in the
center OF the field and the game be-
gins. The object is to get It around
two poles placed at each end of the
field a certain number Of times. They
cannot pick up the ball In their hands
The players who succeed In getting
the ball around the poles at the end
of the field the greatest number OF
times win the game.-Red Man Mag
