Even soott's Son Didn't Know Who

A>Scotch newspaper having referred
to the old story that Walter Scott, son
Of the great novelist, had never read
his fathers novels, the Dunfermline
Court Journal reprints a letter that
first appeared in its columns on Sept.
II. 1850. 1t was signed "Veritas,'
and the writer says: "F'rom 1910 to
1888 l resided in Edinburgh and was
on intimate terms with Walter Scott,
Sitting together one winter evening
several years before his father made
the famous declaration at the the
atrical fund dinner held in the assem-
bly, rooms of Edinburgh that he was
the author Of the Waverley novels. ]
put the following questions to my
friend: Do you not really and truly
believe your father to be the author
Of the Wayerley novels. or who do
you suppose the author to be?
His answer was: I have really no
idea who the author is. If my father
is the author he keeps the secret to
himself, for none of the family knows.
And then he added, The moment q
new novel (by the author Of "Wav.
erley'') is announced my father orders

whole family assemblies In the parlol

WHERE HISTORY IS LAME.

1snefaetors Of the Human Race Who
Get Too Little Credit.
History rs it is written and as 1t ID
taught is one great panorama OF wars
and dynasties. 1t bristles with the
names of doughty warriors and rul-
en-. describes at length their struggles
and achievements and dismisses the
inventors and promoters Of the great
agencies which have made modern CIV
ili2ation possible, with scanty, II any,
mention.
The invention of printing has had
more influence upon the development
Of the race than any act Of any ruler
that the world has ever known, and
more than half Of those who read this
will not know the inventors name.
The men who invented and develop
ed the steam engine did more to light
en- human toll and to make possible
to each Of the dwellers upon earth
larger mead of comfort and enjoyment
than all the generals who ever pitted
men against their fellows. Hunt for
