 s Honest, now!
 And yet
 Some turn of the domestic life would reveal to you the tremendous strength of the bond that binds you. For instance: You go away for a few weeks. For a short time you have sense of freedom. Then the tie that binds you to that other life begins to pull. Your heartstrings grow very tender under the tension.
 You begin to feel how necessary to your life is the complement of your self You are bound together by thou sand little tendrils, the growth of years

He was of an old and distinguished family whose descendants continue to this day in the enjoyment of their titles. This particular Lord Buchan was not in sympathy with Wallace, be- lieving that he fought for the crown in order that he himself might wear it. Wal lace's motives were impugned, therefore, just as Washington's were at the time of the Revolutionary war. The Buchans
 it should be said, have for centuries rem dered Scotland such patriotic service that Scotland has quite forgiven him who failed Wallace when his need was the sorest." I should add that the Buchans of those early times were of the family of Cummins while those of later times are Erskines.
 Near the close of the 18th century there was Lord Buchan of the ancient house by that name, whose character and patriotic deeds in behalf of Scotland won the esteem and love of his countrymen. His name was David Stewart I1rskine, Lord BGchan. lie was an intense lover of national liberty, and, though far away in his Scottish castle, he watched the fortunes and misfortunes of the Arneri- can revolution with the keenest interest. He compared the personality of Washing ton with that of the old Scottish heroes, and regarded him with romantic admira- tion. 's f~zks1.

Emotion is a real woman's life If the sensations do not come to her she will seek them. She lives mostly
 in her heart. For that is she a woman She cannot escape her destiny Only in childhood may woman live q more or less placid life, free from emotion"
 As young married woman she will
 face the trials of the new housekeeper, The process of readiustment to we'd ded life is not easy. and sometimes it is made to the accompaniment of many tears. Shall she desist because of muscle tire?
 | Free from emotion, As wife a woman must share the burdens and divide the sorrows of her husband. She cannot live the placid life and let him go his way alone. She must perforce wrinkle her brow over many problems.
 The placid life? She must suffer all the bangs of motherhood. Can she live a life free from emotion. her heart clutchine. in an agony of love and fear through the watches. of the night. Jest she lose he.. loved ones? What thinks a mother at such time? What cares she about herself or mere wrinkles of the face? Moreover
 What sort of woman would she he if she escaped these shocks and pulls on her feelings? She must be aimless. for purpose means struggle; loveless. for love means sacrifice. Do not mistake f3 Woman may escape much needless worry and useless anxieties. Modern woman is learning how to rest her tired muscles and nerves by rest and re- taxation. But
 At its best womans world is hard and trying world She must face 1t. And sooner or later the wrinkles must needs come to her.
 Let her not be ashamed.
 The dearest faces you know are wrinkled faces. Is 1t not so? Every wrinkle tells a story of vicarious atonement
 The sweetest face in all the world to me was a wrinkled face The last time I looked upon 1t was at the cof- fin side. It was the face of my mother.

SHINGTON BOX-By Dr.. w. E. Evans

Sir William Wallace after the battle of alkirll. to Mr. Robertson of Aberdeen, a painter, with the hope of his delivering it into your hands. Feeling my own un- worthiness to receive this magnificently significant present I make it over to the one man in the world to whom 1 thought it most justly due, requesting you, in the event of your decease, to pass it on to the man in your country who shall appear to your judgment to merit it best upon the same conditions that have induced me to send it to your excellency.''
 The. Wallace box was duly received. Washington wrote to Lord Buchan in tha. style so characteristic of him and with which all readers of his life are familiar. empt him from the selection of the per son to whom he should transmit the box in the event of his death.' Washing ton sent the portrait, which was after wards hung upon .he walls of Dryburgh abbey.
 THE LOSS OF THE BOX.
 Washington would have been embar- rassed, indeed had he provided for the passing of the box to the American pa triot worthiest to receive it. It may be supposed that in thinking of the matter the name uppermost in the mind of Washington was that of Alexander Ham, ilton. The disposition that he made of it, however, appears in his will, read after his death:
 Item, to the Earl of Buchan l recom- ;+ tIo ,,1n1 oP oolx that Sha1tar- ed the great Sir William Wallace after the battle of Falkirk. I give and be- aueath the same to his lordship; and in case of his decease, to his heir with my grateful thanks, etc, etc. The will was Hated TOO

 w ington. The newspapers have and many facts in his life. I, however, have seen no reference to the incident that I am about to relate. Nor, indeed, do know of any one book that recites it By tracing hint, some years ago l found the facts to be as I relate them.
 ITS SUGGESTION.
 The original suggestion of the box is surrounded by history, romance and le- gend, which are all so curiously interblend- ed, that, it is impossible to say where history ends and legend begins.
 In the year 1297 Sir William Wallace, the gallant champion of Scottish liberty, often called s'the Washington of Scot land" set out upon his endeavor to free Scotland from the dominion of King Ed ward of England. He had scarcely en- tered upon his great enterprise when a mysterious box was solemnly committed to his keeping, by Sir John Monteith, with the injunction that he was to safe guard it at all risks and not open 1t till Scotland should be free. Wallace was chosen as custodian of the box for the reason that he was "the worthiest of the sons of Scotland" Mark this quotation.
 Wallace hid the box in the castle or Ellersle where it remained till the En- glish beseiged the castle. He then trans ported his sacred trust to the castle Of Boutwell, Here it was committed to the care of an old monk, who, like Wallace, was ignorant of it's contents.
 At the battle of Bannockburn the En- rlish were defeated, and the Scots thought the question of Scottish liberty was forever settled Therefore, the

THE best instruction l ever nau Tn
 practical writing was by an old 2 X editor who used to ring the changes On-
 Aim low
 .Do not aim at the heads of the people. Aim at their hearts. Do not try to be intellectual. Try to be plain and simpie and, above all, true. Do not be afraid or sentiment. Get below the veneer. The undercurrent of sentiment rules the world"
 I have found it so.
 may forget sometimes, as all writers do, but find that when I am simple and plain and true am able to strike twelve. Just now the greatest book in France Is book written by poor working girl. It is not only literary sensation, but tell human interest story" The girl, founding of Paris, grew up in great poverty and with little education. Nothing new in such 8 life? No. 1t has its counterpart in the lives of thou sands of Gods poor everywhere.
 How, then, will you account foS the great success of the girls look? It is the best seller in France and has put the wolf of poverty far from her door. She could scarcely spell the simplest words when she began writing the history of her life. It was the true, simple tale of her struggles, temptations, thoughts. hopes, fears and aspirations.
 It was a transcript of her soul And that is why her book made it's ap- peal to be the souls of the French people. Soul spoke to soul. The girl aimed low at the universal heart. The response was true.
 Tolstoy was right.
 He said that all art-writing included all art is the sending of a message from the emotions to the emotions.
 The girls book IS such message. And sta.r If you who read this could put down accurately the history of your life, es- pecially the history of your emotions, the result would be great book. The ma terial is in you.
