Why Is a Bagpipeg
From Harper's Weekly

BTOu harper WecAv-
I Where, we desire to know, did the
Scot get the notion that a bagpipe is q
musical instrument? Or isn't that the
idea From the Atchison Globe.
What Scot ever called the pipes a mu-
steal instrument? Isn't Brother Ed Howe
a practical man? Surely he knows the
origin of the pipes. In the old wicked
days bands of predatory English march
ad over the border. They were as bold
and sturdy as the Scots and far greater
In number. Cluny MacWhauppert, the
laird Of Glengarramoyle. in desperate
need Of a sure defense. invented the
pipes in secret and never let a skirl out
OF them till he faced the invading Sasse-
mach on the bloody field. Then Cluny
blew a melody SO fierce. SO eldritch, 50
grinding and clustering to the soul, that
every clansman ripped and slashed his
way through the English hordes. intent
on only one thing-tO escape the fiend-
ish screeching of the pipes. And that
is why every grateful Scot to this day
cherishes the bagpipe, the preserver OF
Scottish independence. He has beaten
his sword into plowshare, but he will
always uphold the pipes to beat the band.

Every day after that Sammy Jay went

happened that Redrail had come back
from the south, where he had spent the
winter Sammy. Jay felt quite sure that
Peter didn't know that Redtail was back

Early one morning Sammy Jay sat hid

watching the old brier patch where Peter
Rabbit lives. He saw Peter come out Of
