"DlNBURGH Is always haunted
by ghosts, to those who have
read a little history, the novels
Of Walter Scott and the min
strelsy of old poets, says Philip
Gibbs in the London Graphic; but
when the king is there and old cere-
monies are revived in his honor, and
the spirit of the ancient chivalry Of
Scotland is lighted up by this royal
visit, the ghosts walk SO that n car
hardly fail to meet them down by Holy
rood and round about the Grassmar-
ket and the C%anongate.
Once again lights are flashing in
the windows of Hollywood itself, and,
wandering this way by night for a
stroll under the stars, ones mind
gropes back to the romantic, tragic
memories of this house of ghosts. One
woman's face peers out upon n
from the dark shadows. There behind
the walls are those little dark-paneled
rooms in which she sat smiling and
hiding her heartache, where men paid
homage to her and schemed her ruin,
where poets made sonnets to her
beauty and preachers scowled at her
laughter. There. still, Is the very
room, thronged on most days Of the
year by loud.voiced tourists, where
she rose with her hands to her breast
at the clatter of feet up the stairways.
giving the shelter of her skirt to the
Italian clerk. Rizzio, until Darnley, her
husband, put his arms about her and
kept her still while Ruthven and Nor
ton and Ker of Fawdonside butchered
their man in the chamber beyond.
There are other places in Edinburgh
where one is haunted by the spirit
of Mary Queen Of Scots, whose beauty
bewitched the hearts Of men less dour
than John Knox and more chivalrous
than Boutwell,.
But as the carriages pass through
the gates of Hollywood and highland
soldiers swing their kits across the
courtyard, another figure, tall and
debonair, appears before ones minds
eye. One sees Prince Charles Edward,

other closes near by were the scenes
of fashionable little parties in the

tea drinking and music, when the earl
of Kellie was considered an excellent

Gilbert Elliott introduced the German

1t is strange and rather tragic, this
utter change which has made a slum

famous houses with the poorest
classes in the city. who know little of
the romance which clings to the walls

Along the ~canoneate.
Not far away, at the foot Of the
Canongate, is the White Horse close,
and the ancient hostelry with its high
steps and pointed gable where many
Of Prince Charles officers put up be-
fore their march across the border.
The Canongate itself, with It's old Toll
booth and ancient houses, is crowded
with the great characters Of Scottish
history, and the very stones tell one
of the scenes that we're played on this
small space. The Scottish nobility
had their mansions here. Through the
gateways at night came their retainers
with swords and bucklers and dirks.

morning.

man IN an Illinois town. 1T was pay

that when he went to the saloon
where he frequently spends too much
Of his hard-earned wages. he was
told that he owed $3.50 more than
the amount of the check he handed In
to be cashed. I know there isn't a
thing to eat In the house at home,'
he told me. and / must take home
some groceries, l loaned him the
money. He's good, and I have no
fear that he will not repay me.

HOW IT WORKS.

HOW " WORKS.
When a saloonkeeper puts a man out
of a Job, he disgraces the mar and
makes him unfit for another job. and
de disgraces his whole family.
When no-license puts a saloonkeeper
out of a Job, he becomes a o honor
able citizen, his family becomes more
honorable, and the community secures
a wealth-producing workman INSTEAD
Of a Notwithstanding workman.
