When Scot Meets Scot.

A Scottish farmer was one day SELL
ing some wool to a carrier, and after
weighing it in the yard he went into
the house to make out an invoice.
Coming back he missed cheese which
had been standing on a shelf behind
the outer door and glancing at the bag
of wool he observed that it had sud-
denly increased in size. Man" he
said to the carrier. Il hae clean for
gotten the weight O that bag. Let's
pit it on the scales again" The car
rier could not refuse. Being duly
weighed, the bag was found to be
heavier by the weight of the cheese
inside. A new invoice was made out,
and the crestfallen carrier went away.
The farmers wife at once missed the
cheese, and, rushing to the yard. told
her husband that some thief had stol.

the farmer quickly; Il haze just self

ALL SOUGHT POWER ON SEA
Ancient Nations Recognized What 1t
Meant to Be Supreme on
the Ocean.

The Phoencians were the first to
make long voyages and the first 10
arm their vessels for war. They read
Ily availed themselves of the ad-
yantages Of marine and thereby soon
secured an extensive commerce In
time they assumed the empire OF the
sea, a sovereignty they long continued
to enjoy, during which time they be-
came tyrants of the sea and exercised
piracy. They were the first sea pirates
known to history.
After the PhOenicians. the Aegtnetans
and then the Cretans assumed dOmin-
ion of the sea during various epOchs.
but it remained for the inhabitants OF
the island Of Rhodes to create, digest
and promulgate the first system OF
maritime laws Of which We have any
authentic knowledge. So great was
the success they attained, their code
has always been referred to as the
cradle of maritime law Neyerthe-
less, as far back as the reign of King
Hammurabi, who was contemporary
of Abraham. $3.50 years before Christ,
we find in the code Of Hammurabi nu-
merous sections which fix the Obliga-
tons arising under contracts for boat
building, hire or charter of vessels,

laid down are, in many instances. rec

battle of Salamis. fought by these

teen hundred vessels took part, fol-

success of their arms. the immeasur-
able value of sea power They lost no
time and spared no efforts in the crea-
ton of a still greater navy, and adopt
ed measures they deemed judicious In
furthering the interests of their mer-

they established a special jurisdiction
at Athens to pass upon maritime trans
actions.

An ex.bookmaker tells this one: One
day in the palmy days Of horse-racing.
he was operating book at one of the
western racetracks. There had been
considerable betting on the third race
of the day, and just before post time
an excited rural-looking individual
rushed up to the stand with roll OF

several fellows out of line and posted
himself in front of the stand, but then

CARLYLE PRICED FIRST LOVE
Margaret Gordon Was the Original Of
eIumine in "Sartor Resartus,"
Says the Critic.

During the year 1918 Thomas Car
lyle. the Scotch philosopher. was liv-
ing at Kirkcaldy, and he seems then
for the first time to have fallen In
love. The lady appears not to have
returned the attachment. although she
with great insight at the age of twen-
ty-two perceived the genius of her
sutton of twenty-five.
In the letter in which she took leave
of her admirer she used these signifi-
cant expressions. Cultivate the mild
er dispositions of your heart. subdue
the more extravagant visions OF the
brain. Genius will render you
great. May virtue render you be-
loved, Let your light shine before
men and think them not unworthy
this trouble"
Many years after. when Carlyle
wrote his "reminiscences. he described
the episode. He says that Margaret
Gordon continued for perhaps some
three years a figure hanging more or
less in my fancy, on the usual roman
tic and latterly quite elegiac and ST.
lent terms"
The real interest of the story is this.
Was Margaret Gordon the sole orig
inal of the Blumine or "Sartor Resar'
tus?" One critic would have us an.
swer that although Jane Welsh might
have inspired some of the details, il
was Margaret Gordon who was the
true original

CAMPAIGNS IN THE WEST

The first month and half of the
western campaign was made up Of
startling, swift moves. On September
II, after the defeat on the Marine, the
Germans took up defensive positions
along the Aisne river. The ten and a
half months since then have seen a
long deadlock.
The battle line of the Aisne and the
Disc quickly extended northeast to the
sea. Fighting has been continuous,
with tremendous losses. The general
situation has remained unchanged,
gains of few miles for one side at
one point Offset by minor gains for
the enemy in other sectors.
At the beginning of August the
kaiser took possession of the little
state of Luxembourg and demanded
passage through Belgium to the Fran,

severe fighting along the whole line
through Thionville in Lorraine and
along the Vosges in upper Alsace,
which the French had invaded with
temporary success.
This battle resulted in defeat for the
French and English.
While obtaining some successes in
counter-attacks on the advancing Ger

French were obliged to fall back rap
idly to the line of the River Marine.
On the left the French had with

The garrison of Paris was put in
thousands of motor cars and hurled on

A Souvenir Of SoIferino.

The recent Solferino anniversary re-
called not only the occasion of a great
victory by Italians over Austrians, but
also the birth of the Red Cross. "Un
Souvenir de Solferino" was the title
of the work that stirred the conscience
of Europe. 1t was written by young
Swiss, Henri Dunant, who had been
among the nurses at the front and
seen the sufferings of the wounded.

for brief moment to raid this rich

again.
But again the German strategic

on LODI.
He advanced too far, however, and
when he had the Russian forces near

But before the re-enforcements

to hack their way to safety. This was

With January Hindenburg made
third desperate attack on Warsaw.
For ten days, both night and day, the
Germans came on. Then, having lost
probably $4,000 men and the Russians
nearly as many, they gave it up.
Unable to reach Warsaw, kindenburg

done at LODI and won an important
success (February 22.2S).
