scott's Attachment to DOGS.

Sir Walter Scott was very fond OF
animals. He Kept about him a num-
Der of pets which he treated with as
much kindness as If they were the
members Of his own family. Among
his animal friends was a large bull
terrier which he called Camp. This
dog was his companion for several
years and was remarkable alike for
his intelligence and his fidelity to his
master.
But the noblest dog ever owned by
Sir Walter was the famous staghound
Mazda. He was a cross between the
wolf and the deer hound. He meas
ured about six feet from the end of his
nose to his tail. He was tall and pow
erful, but very gentle anC kind.-Har-

CALLED MANY GATHERINGS

Among the noteworthy instances of
the ringing of the Liberty bell may be
mentioned the following: 1t rang Sept.
IL, 1894. to call the assembly together,
when the Massachusetts Bay votes
were received, acquainting the assem-
bly, with the instructions sent by that
colony to its agent in London asking
him to use his endeavors to have the
sugar act repealed and to prevent a
stamp act or any other imposition of
taxes upon them or the other American
provinces. Ten days later, Sept. %. il
rang again to call the assembly, when
that body wrote its London agent in
similar terms with the letter of the
Massachusetts assembly. Sept. o.. 1865,
the bell rang on an important occasion,
that in calling the assembly together
to consider a resolution to accept a
plan for a congress of the colonies.
which finally met Oct. Z, 1865. In New

Patching Up Historic Relic to
Take It to Panama-Pacific
Exposition In Response to
Petition Signed by Half a Mil
lion American School Children.

"HE two mile long petition sign
ed by 100000 school children
Of California and which was
presented to Mayor Blanken-
burg and the city council of Philadel-
phia last December In the movement
tnaugurated to have the Liberty bell
placed ON exhibition at the Panama
Pacific exposition in San Francisco in
1915 has rekindled popular interest In
this historic American relic. Mrs.
Emma Doane Of San Francisco, a mem
Der of several patriotic societies in the
Golden Gate State, was selected as
the bearer of the monster petition,
which met with official favor. The
taking to Philadelphia Of the great
scroll was quite a spectacular event.
Mrs. Doane on Thanksgiving day head
ed a procession through the streets of
San Francisco and then superintendent
the loading Of the big petition upon a
baggage car for transportation to the
Quaker City. Arrived there, the petit
ton, rolled on a reel, was taken in an
auto truck to the office Of Mayor Blank
enburg.
Following the granting Of the STIR
ring appeal Of Mrs. Doane Mayor
Blankenburg engaged a consulting en-
gineer to repair the bell in order that
it can withstand the far journey of
5000 miles for which it is booked. The
question has been raised as to whether
the bell will survive the trip In good
condition, and some metallurgists say
the ancient national treasure, in which
there is a crack, is likely to split in
half and that the vibration caused by
such a long journey will hasten it's de-
struction. But the engineer employed
by the mayor devised an interior struc-
ture of steel and wood which will re.
move the dead weight strain that is

The patriotism and loyalty to the
Continental cause of the citizens or

to intrust the Liberty bell In the care
Of the people of this village.
In those days farmers from this re-

with wagonloads of produce n re-

farm wagons the bells were packed,

there is not a single patriotic person

1t was this bell. which weighs 2.0S0

AMERICAN PASSENGERS ANGRY
Nearly Two Hundred of Them Not
Taken Aboard Boat
HOLD AN INDIGNATION MEETING

Queenstown, Ireland, Sept, 25.--
The whole city is stirred today by the
attempt Of the White Star liner Olym-
pic to boycott this port following the
example of the Cunard line.
Two hundred passengers, mostly
Americans waiting here for the steam
er, were ordered sent out to the ship
in old fashioned tenders that were 50
antiquated that they could not make
the trip in the heavy sea and had to
turn back The passengers returned,
and discmbarked after they. had been
taken To the smoother water Of Roches
Point where the captain of the Olym-
pic declined to so for them.
The angry passengers. under the
chairmanship of former United States
Senator William \. Clark, held a
mass meeting on the pier and de-
nounced the failure of the liner to en-
ter this port, and decided to send Il
message to the White Star officials
demanding the vessel be detained till
the passengers are taken and under
proper conditions. The Olympic was
still lying off port at late hour.
The Olympic sailed later without the
passengers
