TALES TOLD ON
NOVELIST BARRIE.
What Some Of His Former NeIgh-
hOrs Think Of Story Telling.

Among the stories which are told con
corning j. NJ Barrie are one or two
which show that some Of his folks
north Of the Tweed are not quite so
proud of the novelist's accomplishments
as they might be-
Recently an old Kirriemuir woman
who knew Barrie as BARN remarked,
"Weel, it's a guild thing the laddie can
max somethin' at his writln,' as he
could never have made his Twin at the
mills
Another celebrity at Mr.. Barrie's
birthplace, the old janitOr at the town
hall, discussed the author in the follow
ing deprecatOry fashion: do l ken
deems Barrie? oh, aye, ken i'm, az
kent his father an mither afOre i'm"
"Have you read his books" "Oh, ayeI"
(guardedlyJ Don't you like themT
am nae thinkin' muckle ABBOTT them.

mither told me that IS far better than
Ony o. Jeems Barrie's.''
Yet another inhabltant said: 'Tf 70
tax the ices DOT o. his buiks there's
naethin' left but the ordinar crack an
conversation We MIGHT hear among folk
In the High street ony e'enin'. An I
assure We no one o the things In thae
buiks ever happened"

Love For a Rat.

Mrs. Clark, wife Of the speaker Of
the national house Of representatives,
is credited with this story, according
to the Woman's World:
There was minister who believed
as dO-that there Is something good
In all men and women.
'The minister began to collect and to
jot down IN his notebook specific In
stances. One day he was paying a
visit to a condemned prisoner and =
rat stole out from It's hiding place and
erept toward the prisoner. The I'M
happy man fondled the rat.
"'Do you love that rat and have You
been so kind to him as to tame him

gerly.
"'Love this ratY repeated the pris-
Oner. Why. I'd share my last crumb
with him.
"'And can you tell me. my poor fel-
low, what has put into your heart this
